Concept search, and converting heat into linear motion

Scroll down for why physics trilogy exists, "Problem and Repair of Relativity"

Have you ever wondered why the search for science concepts is so long in coming? I would like to give an example of why so much time is involved in the search for basic concepts.

We live in a world that has been created in such manner that all manner of physical principles work together. This has been accomplished through the Agency of Wisdom and Understanding. Obviously, a Creator. It is because of what we observe in this world that we know to examine what is about us for underlying reason for the existence of individual principles.

Our search is like a person, having heard that the entire alphabet is able to be found in individual grains of sand, goes in search for them. Each letter has to be of a particular height, width, depth, and be of the same color. After spending an entire lifetime searching for such grains of sand, he discovers two. When that person dies another begins looking, and during their lifetime they find three more. Then the searching becomes more difficult. The beaches, deserts, and different continents must all be searched - even the South Pole region.

The further one moves from the obvious, the more difficult becomes the search for the systems end. Having said this, let me present a few concepts that should help a person who wishes to convert heat energy directly into linear motion. The application is up to the reader.

The primary concern is frequency (heat) isolation. Heat energy, itself is linear motion in random order. What is needed is for this random motion of atoms to be lined up to there is a motion of frequency in one particular direction that exceeds that of other directions - like when a balloon is blown up and released.

In order to do this, we shall need an energy source and a "sink" for that heat energy to move toward. We begin by having a long, thick walled cylinder that is closed at both ends. The cylinder must have zero vacuum (as close as possible). Traversing the entire length of the cylinder is a single strand of material. This is to begin with. (The more strands the greater the motion, using a singe atomic number material). I would choose, to begin, an "iron whisker". The frequency begun in the strand must be kept isolated so there is no leakage laterally. (Perhaps the sides of the iron strand would have to be finished like that of a mirror).

On the heat end, the strand would be the sole recipient of the heat energy; much as possible (the area about the strand could be silvered to reduce heat transfer). The sink on the opposite end would be a gradual expansion of the filament (funnel shape) to allow for the frequency to expand, thus forming a "partial frequency vacuum".

Of course, some things are easier said than done, and I would expect this to be one of those things. It would also be possible (though much more complex) to have a single strand of material wound in circular fashion, but that no part touched another. This would increase the distance given for a single frequency to form.

Motion is frequency, that is what the quest is. To find a single frequency maintained in a single material in one direction. Find that and you shall have converted heat energy directly into linear motion, and you shall put the gas companies out of business. (Barrel of "crude" for a dollar).

The opposite of this concept is that of the breaking system in your automobile. Here the motion of a single frequency within your moving automobile is converted into many frequencies. It can be worked out - go for it.

Parameters: the following are the construction and testing concepts I had thought of using at one time. It seemed there were four substances that were most likely to be successful in converting heat frequencies into a single one of motion. The “iron whisker” had unusual tensile properties. Quartz because of piezoelectric property. Silicone because the atomic lattice was the same as diamond. And diamond because, due to its hardness and brittle nature, should be able to tune a frequency to a greater degree of accuracy than any other substance.

If the filament is very fine, it appeared as though, were to be solid all the way through it would work. Should a filament be of a wide construction, it seemed as though it ought to be hollow. A filament needs to be experimented with in such manner that there are slight atomic variations within it at different temperatures. It seemed that by using the tension, torsion and compression values this could be done. Applying tension to an “iron whisker” for instance, will cause the rapidity of heat transfer to change. This is true also of compression. Then by means of torsion this value is able to be refined. Designing a filament with different mass values at different locations along a filament would also change the manner in which a monofrequency is formed.

By observation, when the experiment is being performed, what I would look for by means of a very sensitive infrared sensor, detecting a very small area, is a location that becomes cooler than the rest of the surrounding filament. Then, I would seek to expand the values that made that particular location cooler, much as possible. Final testing of the concept might be done on a pool of mercury, where a self-contained unit could be observed in free motion.

The disc stage. Once the frequency has been learned for a particular material, to convert random heat motion into linear motion, next use that value and transfer it disc to disc, having large surface areas (discs in direct contact with each other would negate the necessity of a large vacuum, but it would still be necessary laterally). It is when this is done that “antigravity” values will able to be realized. Of course, it would not be anti-gravitational in the real sense, any more than a hydrogen filled balloon or aircraft are anti-gravitational. It would still require the expenditure of energy in order for it to operate, though, hopefully, very small.

Then, we are back to the beginning of this writing. Having been told that there is a complete alphabet within the grains of sand upon our planet, some will seek it (though there really isn’t, it’s just part of the illustration). Likewise, we know there is the ability of mass converting heat into linear motion, for we see the reverse operation in the breaking system of our automobile. Some will seek it. The closer a person comes to needing the final grain of the alphabet, the more difficult the quest becomes.

Nation (Story)

Nation (Story)
Nation

The nation whose people are not ruled by righteousness shall soon be misruled by the unrighteous.

The following is a speech given by a typical president who is being questioned by a reporter about a far-reaching change in the National Security System.

"Because the National Security has been run in its antiquated manner for so long, I am in the process of revamping the whole thing. I believe we shall do much better than the previous administration by redesigning the organizational structure of this powerful vanguard of our nation. We shall, 'Do more, more effectively, more than ever before.' We shall have a system of highly qualified people who shall be able to take appropriate action in any emergency; whatever that may be. They shall be people of outstanding ability, each having the very highest qualifications in their own field of endeavor. We shall act together as a highly trained, close knit organization having but one goal uppermost in our minds. Your safety."

"That sounds very well, Mr. President, but what is going to happen in case of national emergency? Who is going to be responsible for the final decision making process? Should our armies have to be put into motion, who shall have authorization to activate them?

"The final judgment naturally falls upon myself. I shall be the one who makes the critical decision at such times."

"Often you are away, perhaps overseas. Who makes final decisions while you are gone?"

"The person I appoint shall superintend, of course. I shall choose a person who thinks in full accord with myself. One with absolute integrity and undisputed qualifications."

"Would you mind sharing with the millions of people viewing our program this very instant who that person might be?"

"There are several I have in mind at this particular moment. I do not wish to appoint just any person, for such a position of responsibility must be given a great deal of consideration."

"I'm sure the people of the United States agree with that assessment, Mr. President. But I see a problem in that you have begun revamping the old system already. If a crisis were to arise in the United States while you are in another country, who shall manage the system, and which system would have control? The new or the old? There are millions of people, sir, watching this very second, wondering about the program offered them by your administration. Is it adequate?"

"The people of the United States have no cause to be concerned about the internal affairs of our nation. Let all viewing this fine broadcast rest assured every measure is continually taken to protect them. My administration shall live up to its motto of, 'Doing more, more effectively, more than ever before'."

"Perhaps it would be wise, Mr. President, to have the person who is next to you politically head up your new organization. After all, you were both elected to office at the same time and are both representative of our nation."

"You must have just scanned my mind. As matter of fact my running mate was, of course, at the top of my list. I intended on making him temporary head of the department until it was well established, and another would be trained for his duties. I know everyone will be pleased with the idea. The need to brief him in my absence is practically nil so the transition shall be smooth. As I said, there is no need for concern when it comes to the defense of our nation for we are, 'Doing more, more effectively, more than ever before'."

"Thank you, Mr. President, for these informative moments concerning the security of our nation. I'm sure there are those who will sleep more comfortably tonight, resting assured someone is on constant lookout for their safety."

If the election had gone the other way ...

"Sir, our National Security System seems antiquated for our present needs. What is being done about it?"

"Security is not due to a single person or group of people. It is impossible to trust national protection to a person or to an organization, though people and organizations are needed to make things operate smoothly."

"Do you have any proposals to increase the security of our nation, Mr. President, or are things going to be left as they are?"

"I'll tell you what must be done. The people of our nation need to return to the principles that made our nation great in the first place. Our greatness came from our forefathers educating their children to fear and trust the God of the Holy Bible. They were taught about God in public school, where they read the Bible and prayed for our cities and nation every morning. That, sir, is what is needed to advance the security of our nation. My main thrust is to reinstall those principles back into the very fabric of our culture."

"Isn't there the necessity of a committee to examine what we have at present and then advance proposals of change?"

"We have enough committees. We are as strong militarily as the best of the nations. Wars are not won because of an abundance of 'smart' people; organizations, and committees do not win real battles. We have enough of these to fill an ocean. Wars are won by individual people fighting and winning small battles all of their own. A nation is not protected by a group of elite people. It is protected by an army made up of millions of men and women, each fighting for the same objective - truth, truth they know and live. When our army is prepared in this manner, God fights for us. But, should we as a nation reject this precept, then all the best of everything we have shall no longer save us."

"What shall our viewers expect then, Mr. President?"

"Everyone is beginning their day by asking God to give themselves and others about them wisdom to do their jobs the right way. Next, we are going to have Bible reading and prayer put back into our schools where it belongs, so our children learn to know and love the God Who created them and who has made our nation so great. These things are being worked on this very moment."

"What is going to happen should a sudden war arise and you are in another country? An entire army must be activated immediately, and then given proper direction in times of crisis."

"From the human stand point, yes. But this administration trusts God to take charge of our armies as He did with Israel when they obeyed Him. Wars shall come. There shall always be those who love evil and seek to promote death and destruction for their own gain. When such people rise against us, they shall find our armies powerful and ready. But our national goal shall be to promote peace and safety for all people, both here and abroad. I know we shall find the good we seek for our nation and its people, because God shall lead us in the future as He has in our past."

"Thank you, Mr. President. I'm sure people around the world shall sleep better tonight knowing Who it is that protects our great nation."

c2 and Relativity (The Problem and Repair of Relativity)

2006-05-04T09:16:00.000-05:00

To further understand how E=mc2, m=E/c2, and c2=E/m relate, in more detail than given here, please scroll down to:
"c2=E/m = Gravity ... How ..."

THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR OF RELATIVITY (C) 2004, Duane Ertle

In order to introduce the problem, I am going to quote a few sentences from a book "The Universe and Dr. Einstein," by Lincoln Barnett, published in 1960 by Mentor Books. The quotes are from pages 61 and 63 respectively.

The first concept involves that of mass.

"In its popular sense, mass is just another word for weight. But used by the physicist, it denotes a rather different and more fundamental property of matter: namely, resistance to a change of motion. A greater force is necessary to move or stop a freight car than a velocipede; the freight car resists a change in its motion more stubbornly than the velocipede because it has greater mass. ... But Relativity asserts that the mass of a moving body is by no means constant, but increases with its velocity relative to an observer. In short, energy has mass!"

Next, we need to look at the reason for this belief.

"By further deduction from his principle of Relativity of mass, Einstein arrived at a conclusion of incalculable importance to the world. His train of reasoning ran somewhat as follows: since the mass of a moving body increases as its motion increases, and since motion is a form of energy (kinetic energy), then the increased mass of a moving body comes from its increased energy. ..."

Now I am going to quote a paragraph from "The Bones of Time," copyrighted in 1978 by Duane Ertle, it is from the chapter "Flexible Time."

"The reason a fast moving mass is so difficult to stop, or have a direction change in, is due to its becoming frozen in a linear manner so energy cannot pass through its total volume as happens when it is at rest. When a mass moves at one-hundred thousand miles a second, the energy existent and having potential movement at right angles to its direction of travel could be at most a distance of eighty-six thousand miles a second. When moving at the speed of light minus two feet per second, the potential energy existent at right angles to its forward motion would only be two feet in one second. At the speed of light the mass would convert from being a three-dimensional object and would become a single beam of high energy photons streaking through space, all existing in only one dimension. Obviously there would be zero energy potential at right angles to the direction of travel."

Moving mass does not acquire additional mass as it moves. Atomic matter is composed of waveform. As electromagnetic energy (a wave) has differing energy values so, also, does mass at different speeds have an overall differing waveform. The waveform is derived from the moving mass itself, as energy at right angles to direction of travel decreases in line density with movement, and transfers a proportional amount of that frequency toward the direction of travel. In this sense greater mass is being added to the forward motion of the mass at the expense of the energy/mass at right angles to it.

There is an expression that deals with frequency density and an increase of energy as the lines of frequency increase. The expression in question says that E=hf. The energy of an electromagnetic wave is equal to that of a very small numerical constant times the frequency of the wave. The greater the frequency of the wave, the more energy the electromagnetic wave would have. Radio waves may have very long peak-to-peak distances of thousands of meters, while cosmic radiation is able to have its frequency so compressed that it acts as dimensional mass, and there may be trillions of frequencies, or waves within a single meter. Now consider how the frequency at right angles to direction of movement changes from having great potential in those directions, toward having less, thus giving up mass/energy potential. Energy, in form of greater frequency, converts to an overall change of mass, or as some would say, "... resistance to a change of motion."

The concept of E=hf is an equation that works for three different elements of nature:

1. E=hf, is an equation that describes why electromagnetic energy has greater and lesser energy values. Radio waves have very little energy value, while gamma and cosmic radiation have a great deal. And it all is dependent upon wave frequency and the density of that wave in a particular space.

2. mk=hf, (mass kinetic energy, equals hf) describes why mass shrinks to an observer as it moves. Because mass is composed of electromagnetic energy, it has the same wave values as electromagnetic energy, but in a very condensed manner. Electromagnetic energy remains in three-dimensional space in form of standing waves, yet having the same linear value of 186,000 mps all the while. Like a runner on a racetrack traveling all the while at that great speed. The same distance is traveled, just not in a straight line. As long as the velocity value within mass maintains the value of "c" it does not matter how small the "race track" becomes.

The, mk=hf, value demonstrates that the shrinkage of a moving mass is constant with frequency change. There are no sudden changes in mass/energy values. It also explains why the energy transfer takes place as frequency converts at right angles to that of forward motion. Just as sound waves have greater frequency with greater mass speed (thus the lines of frequency shrink, or become compressed) so, also, mass in the direction of travel shrinks in proportion to a greater or lesser internal frequency or energy values.

3. c=hf, is that for the relationship of a gravitational field and its frequency. It is possible that a "graviton," a single gravitational wave, has the same frequency as all other gravitational waves, no matter where they form; and what we consider as field of gravity has to do with quantity and not quality. Even though it might be either way, at present it appears that a gravitational field is formed of a quantity of waves (a greater multitude of waves all exactly the same no matter where in earth they formed) and not their frequency; although the c=hf concept would be valid in either sense.

Dr. Einstein understood moving mass from the perspective of how it related directly to that of energy - and it worked for him. He arrived at E=mc2! But the same result is able to be found by understanding that mass is composed of waves, and the moving mass undergoes a change from being greater in mass in three dimensions toward that of becoming greater in waveform in one direction and less in the other two dimensions.

In order that the reader may understand the thinking of today concerning the potential ramification of compounding mass, I am going to quote a paragraph found in a book entitled "Asimov's Guide to Science," (c) 1972; published by Basic Books Inc..

"... When Oppenheimer worked out the properties of the neutron star in 1939, he predicted also that it was possible for a star that was massive enough and cool enough, to collapse altogether to nothingness. When such collapse proceeded past the neutron star stage, the gravitational field would become so intense that no matter what, no light could escape from it. Nothing could be seen of it; it would simply be a "black hole" in space."

To which concept I would say; Oppenheimer did not realize that the force of gravity is a field of energy, c2=E/m, initiated by the heat energy within a solar mass. No heat - no energy.

Black holes today are an attempt to explain why so much mass is missing from creation - 90%. The galaxies have been stretched out, and there is not enough mass in empty space to account for distances outward and their being so far apart from each other. But, that condition is not really new news. In the book of Isaiah 45:12 God said 2700 years ago that the heavens had been stretched out. "I have made the earth, and created man upon it, I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." So, then, it is not 'black holes" that mankind needs to find, but God.

The conclusion is this. Because moving mass has increased frequency change in direction of movement until it reaches the speed of light, it then converts into radiation; there is no manner by which a black hole is able to form under any condition. There is no manner whereby the mass in question may be anything other than the original mass converted into what it already, intrinsically, was. This means, if it is impossible for a black hole to form, then it is just as impossible for the "big bang" to have happened. Neither of these events ever did exist nor shall they. They both soon shall disappear with a "little poof" into an obscure page somewhere in antiquity.

An Experiment You Can Help With

There is an interesting trilogy in physics relative to electromagnetic energy and its formation into mass. The first part of the trilogy you are sure to know, the other two parts you probably are not familiar with. The first part is E=mc2. All know this as the conversion of mass into energy. The second part of the trilogy is obvious though not popular. It is m=E/c2. The conversion of energy into mass. For a long while those who have an interest in these concepts have known about the equation for converting energy into mass but they cannot practically do anything about it. The concept is left largely alone by the public other than as an "Oh, hum" sort of a thing and it is then passed over. The third part of the trilogy is less obvious yet, in that the value of "c2" is not recognized for what it represents as a physical concept by itself. It is the "c2" representation that needs to be examined by empirical evidence - meaning an experiment needs to be performed to determine if it is a singular entity to itself as are energy and mass. The entire equation is c2=E/m. This value of velocity is that of a field of time, or that which accelerates one mass toward another through empty space, bonding planets to their orbits about the sun, and us to them. It is also the equation for earth's gravitational constant and is the basis of both mass and energy.

Newton first described the force of gravitation as to how the force acted instead of what it was. The force was described as, "F" (for the force of gravity) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one," times "mass two," divided by the distance times itself. The result of this equation was in giving a numerical value to the attractive force between earth and its moon. That is all Newton wanted at the time. But this equation does not tell a person what the force of gravitation would be if all the mass of the universe were to be a single mass, as some project once happened in the "big bang" theory. As you are aware, according this theory there would have been no second mass to compare with the first, so there could have been no gravitational equation formulated. All that could be known would be F=m (the force of gravitation is equal to the mass), and that's it. The present equation for a gravitational field is not wrong, it's just incomplete. It's like a person describing a house by the postal address. It isn't that a particular house address is incorrect information, but if you want to know what the house looks like physically it takes more than an address in order to learn that. In order for Newton's equation to be able to describe the force of gravitation both by what it does, as well as what it is, the equation would have to read "F" (the force of gravitation) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one, times its heat energy squared", times "mass two, times its heat energy squared", "divided by the distance multiplied times itself". (F = G x (m1 x Q2) x (m2 x Q2) / d2); "Q" here representing the heat energy within the mass. Using this concept, the equation for a single mass only would be (F = m x Q2). I'm sure you get the idea. Mass of itself is not capable of completing the equation for the force of gravitation, for mass is an entity to itself. There has to be something more. As things stand now, with the way the force of gravity has been represented, there must exist a perpetual creation of this force in all mass at all times in order for its presence to be explained. A continuous creation is the only manner the force of gravity can have perpetually existed through the supposed past eons of time and yet exist brand new at present. Those who seek to understand such things make no allowance for any natural energy source to form this force. They, by default, subscribe to the perpetual creation concept, even though they do not consciously state it. Consider, as we have seen in Appendix "B", that it takes the consumption of 0.00444 kg. per second, or 31.8 tons of mass, or its equivalent energy, converted into gravitational frequencies per year to maintain the energy level required for earth's gravitational field to remain standing. Our sun requires the continual breakdown of 10,485,720 tons of matter, or its equivalent energy, per year into gravitational frequencies in order to maintain orbiting planets in their positions. Does it not seem a wise act to be looking for the energy source that propagates this force?

The reason for going through all this is that I wish to show that the force of gravitation is part of a basic equation that is able to stand by itself (c2=E/m). The force of gravitational acceleration is in reality a physical field of what we loosely call time. Mankind does not think of time as being a physical reality, but it obviously must be just that in some fashion or the concept would not exist at all - i.e. the continual linear flow of past, present and future events, these always having the same unchangeable physical value. I wish to present a manner whereby the existence of physical time forming the force of gravitation may be conclusively examined, but it requires the assistance of others to do so.

There are three primary manners whereby we use energy in our physical world (discounting plasma, the fourth state of matter). Whenever any form of energy associates with a mass, then that energy must evidence itself in some manner. This will be either in linear movement of a mass, by angular movement, or as heat energy existing within a mass. There is a singular instance where an obvious energy expenditure does not appear, in what we would think of as being a "normal" manner. It is when there is a great deal of potential heat energy contained within a large mass, as found in our solar systems sun and planets. The heat energy contained within our planet does not obviously evidence itself to our senses in any manner other than by the occasional action of a volcano or thermo-spring. Why not?

The internal heat energy within our planet causes its mass to form into the shape of a sphere, compacting the mass of earth. It is the heat energy within our planet, forcing the mass to become compacted, that causes our gravitational field to form to the intense factor it does. Were there no internal heat energy within our planet then there could be no gravitational field. Were the internal heat energy within our planet to decrease in value, our planet's gravitational field would also decrease in intensity. The value velocity of "c" (c2=E/m) within earth's mass evidences itself apart from the mass containing it. In the past, the value of the time wave (c) has been ignored as having an existence at all when considering electromagnetic energy. Yet this velocity is the basis for the explanation of electromagnetic radiation (speed), and is itself formed of electromagnetic energy. The value of "c" is the common velocity that all clocks measure in some physical manner as being time, and we, ourselves, are composed of this value as is all else having physical existence. It is also this velocity that we relate with as being real time.

Having explained the basis for gravitation, take a look at how it may be proven whether the gravitational field of earth might have as its origin the internal heat energy within or not. The location in which the experiment needs to be performed is in outer space, where it would be free from earth's gravitational influence and surrounding, small gravitational fields are able to be well isolated. This, obviously, is the part others need to perform. The experiment would consist of three pairs of lead spheres, each set of two spheres being distant enough from any other surrounding mass that they could only influence and be influenced by each other.

The first set of spheres would each be heated to near six hundred degrees f. and placed a fixed distance apart in such manner they would be perfectly motionless relative to each other before the experiment began. Once the restraint on them was removed and they were free to move, each sphere would begin moving toward the other and they would meet at a midway point.

In the second set of spheres, one sphere would be heated to the same temperature as those of the first set while the second sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible, then the spheres would be distanced as were the first set. What would be observed once the spheres were released to freely move, is that the heated sphere would remain motionless while the frozen sphere would begin moving toward the heated one until they met. They then would begin sharing the heat energy and both would have a reduced gravitational field.

The third set of spheres would consist to two lead spheres set the same distance apart as the first and second set, but each sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible. That which would be observed once they were released to move freely, is that neither sphere would begin moving toward the other as in the first two sets. If each sphere had a temperature of absolute zero Kelvin, they would never move toward each other.

This simple experiment would demonstrate the force of gravitation to be or not to be a field of time (c2=E/m), whose origin is that of a particular form of energy and not of a continual creation. What do you think? Is it possible? Will it ever be known if it is not examined? It might be something to consider.

The formation of radioactive elements

The formation of radioactive elements
Formation of Radioactive elements

Copyright 1971 – 2005, D. Ertle

One of the things I’ve wondered about was the reason for the half-life of radioactive elements. I thought I’d present what appears to be the explanation for that unique event among the elements in a general manner. (To understand the relationship of radioactive material to that of an atom, see “The Relationship of the Electron to the Proton” in this blog.

The place to begin is with Appendix D (The Bones of Time). It is noted that an atom is composed of layers of shells formed of nodes through which electrons pass as they maintain position about the core point of an atom, as well as maintain their frequency by means of velocity and polar position. Not all locations about an atom are node points, for the shells are not solid nodes. There are areas through which electrons pass that are but lines of force extending outward from the core point location upward. The frequency of the electron does not match these, so its passage through them is uneventful.

There are wave patterns that form about an atom of which an incoming electron may become a part of, supporting and amplifying that pattern. There are only so many openings in each sub shell for a limited number of electrons to fill, so when a wave pattern is complete the pattern itself rejects all other newcomers. Similar to allowing only a certain number of players on a football field, or on a basketball court. The pattern begun in the lower shells cannot extend perpetually outward from the core point of the atom, so it must begin to change as the shells of an atom extend outward. To amplify this thought conceptually, consider a knitted pattern that must extend outward but having only the same number of stitches as the innermost section. A design plan must be formed. In the atom the design plan is the insertion of nodes in places which do not directly match a lower pattern. A new, unstable standing wave pattern (node) is able to attach and fill a wave opening, which wave pattern is tenuous due to its harmonic frequency not being directly reinforced by the entire wave pattern. This means that when the pattern is disrupted the entire non-reinforced node is released, along with whatever energy is associated with it.

“But,” you say, “Why do particular atoms have differing half-lives?” The answer to that lies in the mystery of mathematics. The concept is that of probability. The concept of probability is not as random in finding solutions as a person may think. In fact, the more facts that are gained about any particular event, the less probability there is of deviation that is not accounted for. In that there are so many unstable atoms, and they are all exactly alike and are losing node points through the passage of time, the probability of individual atoms losing a node point or electron wave nodes is predictable. What is not predictable is which atom will have a frequency disruption. The releasing of a node or electron wave does not have to do with temperature. It apparently has to do with the overall wave of the mass, and the probability that the overall wave pattern will meet and match, and force a tenuous node away by the increased support of the entire wave mass frequency acting against it. This also means that an element that loses an electron frequency into what we call “radioactivity” may have a like frequency reassociate with it, thus becoming radioactive again, whether over a long period of time or instantly.

So, we conjure up an atom with the differing standing waves in the different sub-shells and pretty soon we see there is an opportunity exposing itself in an area in which the wave pattern does not regularly support. A node point soon forms in that location as a standing wave not moving with the entire sub shell wave pattern but attached to it. The wave pattern of that shell may last for centuries to thousand of centuries, but at some point the shell wave pattern exerts its force where that standing wave is located and that standing wave, or node, has to seek a spot somewhere else. The atom then loses that much mass and the shell wave pattern remains covering that new area. Conversely, when a new wave is forced upon a sub shell wave pattern, forcing the sub shell pattern to hold to a new position, the forthcoming energy shall have found a new home, however tenuous the half-life may be. In some atoms the node being ejected shall have been formed where the reinforced pattern must exist perpetually, and that new, forthcoming energy is immediately forced away. The half-life of that radioactive mass is almost zero. In other atoms the new wave is formed in a location where the reinforced standing wave seldom moves to but does so occasionally. The half-life of that radioactive mass may only be a few days. So on and on go the possibilities of node attachment to the reinforced wave motion of shells forming an atom, with each particular atom only granting particular locations where node attachment may occur.

And that’s how it appears that God has engineered atomic energy so it can be of benefit to mankind. It is, of course, not an accident that atomic energy is formed as it is. God could make all atoms to be as inert as neon or one of the other noble gasses. But it has been made for our advantage. We have been given the understanding of how to use atomic energy for the benefit of all, that we may subdue Nature, which only possesses the nature of destruction.

TIME

Is there anything in our universe that is not composed of physical time? No matter how mass and energy are examined, all that relates to them, and what they are composed of, has as its composition physical time. In the three equations that describe our universe (E=mc2, m=E/c2, and c2=E/m) the value of “c” is a necessary component, and is the most basic of the three, in that it is always a particular, absolute value. The value of “c” is the value of physical time.

For those who consider such things; do the above equations fit? If so, what would you say that the value of “c2” represents in our physical world? It must represent some particular physical value in order for it to have any meaning to the other two parts.

The electron, and its multiples, being the common unit of physical matter, becomes the basis of physical creation. The electron is composed of electromagnetic energy when it completes an arc of greater than 360 degrees and overlaps its own frequency, thus becoming bonded into three-dimensional mass. The value of “c” does not diminish when forming a circular standing wave having a diameter of a chronon. The magnetic lines extending outward at just one pole, give such “mass” a necessary third dimension, so that one mass has the capability of uniting with another, and yet, because it is a mono-pole, it does not lock into a non-flexible state, so that electrons pile up with no manner of forming neutrons and protons.

Three dimensions are able to exist in an electron “mass” formed of electromagnetic energy – thus this entity becomes the basis of our three-dimensional world. Were our world to be reduced to its lowest possible form, that form of existence would become that of linear “c”. Everything that was once matter would become electromagnetic energy, or gravitational energy, and become only one-dimensional. This is the reason time works for everything in our universe when comparing one value, or object, with that of another. Everything has for its basis of existence physical time; and mass, as “c”, all travel the exact same distance in one second, or in one year.

It is obvious this condition did not happen by itself. The waves of energy are too tenuous to accurately form a circle and connect to their own frequency. They move too fast to form an arc so small, and there are too many of them all in the same location, needed to form our universe. It cannot happen by chance. It seems the logical conclusion is that physical “time”, what everything is formed of, was done by an act of creation. No Creator, no creation.

Now, take a minute and scroll down to "The (new) American Way". What if it is true?

New Atomic Theory

New Atomic Theory

Copyrighted 1971 - 2005 D.Ertle

When people consider the physical world about themselves it is normal to visualize matter as existing no deeper than a layer of paint or a coating of chrome. Our world, for the most part, is a “what you see is what you get” kind of a thing. But the “micro-world” does not have an existence according to appearance at all, such as there is no entity as actual color, it is frequency change our eyes determine when we wistfully look at a shiny new car. Then at the other end of creation, the “macro-world,” there exists the seemingly endless expanse of huge stars traveling through space at near the speed of light, but to us they appear stationary. The actual stars are not where they seem to be at all, and neither is our own sun. But of all physical concepts, small or large, I think the one most interesting is the realization that there exists no such thing as solid matter. I suppose this is because matter is so personal, in that we are all composed of it.

In this appendix I would like to consider the proton to electron arrangement of an atom and how they relate, also why the atom is not to be considered as being formed of solid matter. For those who have looked into the atomic theory they know all atomic particles have a wave value associated with them. Furthermore, matter completely unraveled comes apart as high frequency electromagnetic radiation. We consider matter as being solid because we use it to make a real house, car, clothes etc., and not least of importance, we ourselves are made up of these same tiny fields of force. The information mankind has gathered through the centuries has become a strong argument for most people that solid matter resides within little bits of matter called atoms. But let’s take a look at why our present atomic theory, formed through the ages, may be incorrect.

Strange as it may seem, all matter has an internal velocity within it in form of standing electromagnetic waves. This wave of velocity forces all matter to have an identical time value when at rest and change proportionate to time and distance when physically moved. Once again, we see that our physical world does not actually exist as it appears, for what person looking at an apparent stable mass would think that it was moving internally at the speed of light and was itself formed of electromagnetic energy? Matter, as also all forms of energy, has an inherent time existence, forcing all “mass” within our universe to exist in present time apart from either the past or future. Was matter not to have a physical time duration and limitation inherent within as a basis of its existence basic equations concerning mass and energy would have no meaning, for physical real time might be any number of arbitrary time values.

The foundational reason for physical existence to us as we consider an individual atom is the proton’s existence and arrangement, along with the presence of its sometime sleuthy partner the neutron. The reason for our particular interest in the proton is the ever present shadowing electron moving about within it, for it is the action of the electron that forms our chemical world and is the basis for the entire field of chemistry. The proton is formed of electron multiples, or multiples of their masses. There are 1836 electrons, or their equivalent individual masses, forming each proton. When a proton is formed, a field of line force extends outward from its center point for a distance of one angstrom. One angstrom is equal to 10 x -10 meter in length. At the one angstrom distance about the core point of a proton the frequency of an electron and the extended lines of the proton are identical, so not only is there no resistance to the electron’s movement, but there is a great affinity between the two at these node points through which the electron passes as it moves about within the “mass” of the atom. Were the electron to move closer to the core point of the proton, where the standing node density did not match that of the electrons, the electron would be repelled forcefully away by both its own frequency as well as that of the protons. Were the electron to move further away from the core point position it held in the one-angstrom sub shell, then the frequencies once again would not match and the electron would be forced back to its former position.

There are four possible separate sub shells an electron may go to once the K, L, M, and N shells are all in existence in the heavier elements. The four sub shells, s, p, d, and f together form each separate shell, just as it takes nuts and bolts to make an automobile (there are seven possible shells about large atoms, lettered K through Q). The reason for the sub shells existence is that the electron has four different spin states, and each electron spin state exists within a different node zone of the protons standing wave. All electrons are not exactly the same even though they are all electrons of the same mass. To visualize the four different states of spin an electron may have, picture a single drop of water falling through the air. If that shape were amplified in size until it were six inches in length and held in a position so the tail of it pointed upward, it could represent a single electron. By marking its present upright position with a dot, then moving the tail point two times, one-eighth of an inch at a time to the left, and marking each position with a dot, the first three spin states of the electron would be proportionately known. By moving the point to the upright position again, then moving it one-quarter inch to the right and marking that position, the last of the four electron spin states would be represented.

When a person considers matter as compared to that of waves of energy there seems to be little relationship between the two, but there is. Here, again, we find that E=mc2 firms up the argument toward lines of force extending outward from the core point of an atom are exactly the same as if they were mass extending outward. We just don't think of mass and energy as being the same entity, but they are. For every multiple proton, plus neutron, added to the nucleus of an atom, beyond hydrogen, one 1836 part node(s) is extended to accommodate one more electron in an outer sub shell.

It can be seen from this position why there are weaker and stronger forces existing within an atom. The completed electron shells of an atom have a natural resistance to other atoms also having a completed shell. The further one atom is forced into the electron shell configuration of another, the greater the resistance between the two becomes. It is for this reason that electrons and protons are accelerated to the speed they are in linear accelerators. This great acceleration must take place in order that one atom becomes part of another or for an atom to become segmented. Electrons existing in their sub shells as they do also helps to explain why chemical bonding takes place as it does. It is because the outer sub shell electrons have the frequency room necessary for like matching electrons, with their matching nodes, that they are held together. For a node will accept a matching node whether joining from inside or outside the shell. In essence, not only do the electrons join in an outer shell, but the nucleus of the atom joins the bonding process at the node point as well. Because inner shells are filled first, and offer resistance to any other electron intrusion, one atom can only move a certain distance into another. If this were not true, an outer shell of one atom might bond with an inner shell of another, bringing the center points so close they merge and unravel into electromagnetic energy.

The greatest bonding in an atom to atom arrangement is when one atom is forced into the inner shell space of another once mutual resistance of the separate electron shells has been overcome. This would occur when two atoms collide at a high rate of speed and merge into one space. All the sub shell electrons are then forced to share their room with other frequencies vying to use the same space within the newly formed atom. This is especially true of the “s” or lowest (innermost) sub shell, which sub shell is existent in all seven shells. It is obvious that some electrons must leave the inner sub shells of a newly designed atom, which they do in form of electromagnetic energy, the form of energy composing them. But, notice that when two atoms are forced into the same area of frequency, and two core points of two separate atoms are joined to form one new core point of an atom, that the “mass” of one atom is not added to the “mass” of another in form of protons and neutrons. We conceive of mass as being existent only in a particular spatial area, but mass extending outward from an atom core point as lines of energy is the same as if it were compacted in the nucleus of a conventional atom. An analogy to this may be found in the concept of a solid mass converting directly into a gas. Dry ice is a solid mass at -100 f. but it directly converts into a gas above that temperature, and being a gas is no longer visible to an observer as having any particular existence at all. Yet it exists with the same reality as when a solid mass. In a newly formed atom its unseeable “mass” of merged node frequencies forms a new atomic entity which allows only a specific number of electrons to attach them to it, thus forming a new element. Atoms being converted from one element to another do not gain or lose a greater central mass, they gain and lose shells, or parts of shells composed of layered nodes about which electrons move from node to node at right angles to the core point. Electrons moving within a sub shell occupy a certain amount of space in a specific amount of time during their existence - their speed from node to node being equal to the frequency of the nodes within that sub shell. An electron cannot change shell to shell or sub shell to sub shell apart from increasing or decreasing its speed to match the sub shell frequency it becomes part of. This frequency shift apparently being controlled by the neutron in heavier atoms. When their frequency level is less than what is necessary to complete a resistance level in a shell, other electrons may enter that sub shell until the electron frequency is complete. There are no divisible parts within an atom where one may say, “Here is a proton, here a neutron,” for they do not exist in a central nucleus, and they do not exist apart by themselves within an atom.

When one atom is smashed into by another, or when a neutron is forced into the inner space of an atom at great speed, the frequency of the atom changes for an instant at that location and during that time the electron sub shells no longer have an exact matching frequency in the nodes, and so may be forced away as a separate unit of mass-energy. It appears that when this happens the electron shells that are forced apart from the center point of the parent atom collapse upon themselves, instantly forming a new atom. This would be expected when the protons, in form of energy, along with the electron shells, are already united in the same space. It is interesting that there exists between the electron shells discrete gaps for this purpose. These gaps are filled with lines of force equal to that of the needed proton mass to hold the above number of electrons in their shell.

When a new atom is formed from two separate ones, such as when two hydrogen atoms form a helium atom, or when a large uranium atom separates into separate atoms of barium and krypton, plus scattered radiation, the new elements must form completely new electron shells. The manner in which this is done is by frequency matching. When a frequency of energy, as electromagnetic energy, or subatomic particles, approach the inner space of a nucleus and there is an open space in a sub shell node, the forthcoming energy has its frequency matched by the sub shell below to that of the space above, and once matched it is forced upward into the proper electron sub shell.

There have been those who wondered if God had a choice in the manner of how our world was put together or not. The reason for this question may not be as antagonistic toward God as one might expect. Rather, because mankind is able to see a progression of order within the physical world, which order excludes everything but a correct response, he wonders about this. Sort of why mathematics work when trying to solve physical problems. Everything fits exactly in place and there can only be one way for things to work. It is not that God did not have a choice when He instantly formed our physical universe as He did, rather it is an evidence of His own unlimited power and knowledge of all things and how they work together. He knew the end result of creating our physical world of electromagnetic energy the way He did, and it seems just like His Wisdom to make complexity from a single entity. Our world is an honor to God but it is only a passing world that has no real duration of by itself. The only “real” existent world is the spiritual one where time fits into the reality of eternity and does not change.

The (new) American Way ...

Since I first posted this information few weeks ago, I found at the library in Benton Harbor, Michigan, that was using a filtered system for young people, that my blog was "ACCESS DENIED - HATE SPEECH". I understand why it is considered such. It is much like "John Brown" telling those of the South that slavery is wrong. I do not like being in the position that I am in, relating to the animosity for the work I have done and what is being posted, but I do not apologize for it. The concept of evolution is a form of religion to those who espouse it. It gives them an explanation for their beginning. It is NOT science. There is no empirical manner to redo what has been done in the past. It is all speculation. Evolutionists take present-day bones that cannot be denied as to their existence, and fabricate a past existence for them that is no more than their own wish taking form. Because this form of religion is being taught as fact, I speak of it as being a lie. Were it taught as a theory, which it is, then it would be spoken of as being such.

The following is true. There is an experiment found in the previous writings I have posted on this site, "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" and "How to Form and Collapse a Gravitational Field" that gives empirical evidence as to the formation and collapse of a gravitational field. These postings will further describe what this writing is about. Take a minute to read it. Thanks.

Mr. Robert Ash,

A person may wonder why there cannot exist a state of peace between those who believe the Bible to be truthful, and those who believe that evolution is how mankind came into existence. The reason there is no common ground between the two is that there is need of deceptive lying by someone. One group of people is knowingly promoting that which is, obviously, not right – but which one is it?

It is those that believe it necessary for them to lie in order to support their claims. The real “truth” concerning evolution is that it is a THEORY. That is the absolute truth. Those who espouse this idea do not speak of it in the sense of it being a theory at all. Because they have a vested interest in this devised concept with its preemption of God, and hoping there is no actual judgement before God for what they do, they believe if they run with the herd they are safe. It is not a particular person or group of people, but it is the Christian religion in general that those who espouse the concept of evolution oppose. Evolution, the ‘big bang,’ and abortion are all pretty much tied together in the attempt to get rid of a Biblical God. Though this statement is not a surprise to anyone, the person who reads this is likely not to realize the animosity and desperate need these people have to always prove themselves a judge of life-values.

It is because of their necessity to lie, and their promoting deception at any cost, that I am stating the following and then come to a conclusion regarding them. I have done a great deal of work in understanding how and why time functions in our world as it does. I would like to list some of what I have discovered:

1. Earth’s gravitational field is propagated the speed of light. It is a product of electromagnetic energy. The equation for this force is c2=E/m. This is part of the physics trilogy. I have conducted gravitational experiments where the gravitational field has been increased and decreased according to the value of c2=e/m.

2. I determined that it is the spin of our planet that forms earth's magnetic field. Were our moon to have been created having any spin to its mass, the magnetic field formed would cause it to become slowly attracted to one of earth’s poles where it would begin approaching it till earth and our moon met.

3. The electron is composed of electromagnetic energy that has overlapped its own frequency, thus bonding frequency to frequency, and all the while maintaining the velocity of ‘c’ within. This form of mass then forms neutrons and protons, which in turn has formed our physical universe and has given all matter a common time value, which all clocks measure in an abstract manner.

4. I worked out the time structure of our solar system, as the relative time values of "core point physical time" and "surface location physical time" were compared. Then I explained what the differences between the two meant in ‘real time’ values.

5. I showed where Newton made a mistake in believing that all mass of the universe automatically attracts other masses. The force of gravity is a product of a particular kind of energy. Were this not true, then this force would have to be created in all mass at all time. planet earth uses 0.00444 kg. per sec. of gravitational frequency. Our sun expends 665 lbs. per sec. in order to perform the work that it does in keeping the planets in place.

6. Then, Einstein made a mistake in stating mass increases its own mass as it is accelerated. An accelerated mass does not gain mass, it converts the overall mass frequency so there is a decrease of energy at right angles to its motion, and a proportional increase of energy in the direction of travel. As the reader will note in "The Problem and Repair of Relativity," (this blog site) there is a major problem with our current concept of earth and sun, and their interior workings. At the 0.716 mile location inward within the core of our planet, were a mass to be released at this location, it would exceed the speed of light in one second (a mass cannot do this and yet remain a mass). This same critical distance in our sun is 400 miles inward from its core point. At that location a mass would exceed the speed of light in one second were it released there. The problem we have at home with this form of mass acceleration needs to addressed first, before mankind wanders through the universe seeking to understand why solar forces act as they do.

“Interesting,” you say, “but where is the proof, and so what if you have learned what you say you have?”

The evidence of what I have written is in the gravitational experiments I have performed. If it is possible to form and collapse a gravitational field, then the source of this force is known, and the other concepts would become obvious.

This effort was begun because of the way the theory of evolution was being lied about thirty years ago. These people have a (religious?) agenda that they pursue at all cost, and they need to be brought to account. Their object is to destroy the message and messenger. Twice in the 90's I went to Washington, D.C. and gave to Senators and Representatives information on what I had done and complained of "Agency" interference. Then, at the same time, I did the same in Lansing, Michigan. I knew at the time, what I had done would likely not be believed - and, evidently, it wasn't; I did it anyway. Just recently, April 20, 2006, I ordered a part for an ultra light engine. I returned home for the part to be sure it matched up with the picture in the book (it was an old part). When I returned to the store shortly, the owner tried to persuade me it was all wrong, even though the picture matched up. This sounds sort of "shammy", but if there is someone who would like to represent a person against the U.S. Government and how they seek to control citizens because what they promote is "politically incorrect" please contact me. It seems as though it may take a government not friendly to us in order to do this, otherwise the foxes are out counting the chickens! Partially, also, what has been done toward the work I have finished is to destroy my “web” work; that is why I have written what I have. I would like the organization exposed after an examination and determination of what I have stated. If it is true ...

Respectfully,

Duane Ertle

Words (Story)
Words

Truthful words, showing another where their own hurt is.
Deceptive words, soaked in rags of flammable poison.

Kind words, building a protective moat about another.
Cruel words, aggrandizing pride of destruction.

Informative words, digging irrigation ditches in the field of understanding.
Lying words, grabbing at another's dream.

Helping words, opening a stuck door so another may enter first.
Hindering words, untying a runners shoe during a race.

Healing words, recovering from another's hurt.
Wounding words, performing unnecessary surgery without anesthesia.

Loving words, carefully building beauty in the mirror image of another.
Angry words, storing acid in another's heart.

Humble words, teaching truth and goodness by acts.
Proud words, proclaiming popular ignorance of self.

Wholesome words, baking bread for future families.
wicked words, dressed in the attire of a Jester while destroying another.

A woman asked the Lord what she could do to comfort a mother whose child had just been killed in an accident. It seemed as though there was nothing that could be done, but if there were, she was willing to do it.

"And Lord," she said as she continued in prayer for the other, "what can I say to a mother who has lost her child? What words can be spoken so her joy ceases to crumble apart as does sand passing through an hour glass. What are words to one whose joy in this life has been crushed and turned to powder, where minute by minute it falls upon the growing heap of despair? Lord, what are words?"

Then she waited. She waited for the still, small voice of God. Though often seemingly slow, He was never late.

"Go," came the reply. "Go visit this one dear to us both."

"But, Lord," she began, "I don't know what to say!"

"Go," was the only reply.

So she, by faith, left to do as the Lord had commanded. To the house of sorrow she went, where a section of the roof, unseen by mortal eye, had fallen in, and heavy, unhampered rains were pouring in through it. The gale beat about the windows, pounding the once carefully tended shutters back and forth, smashing them against the side of the house. But no one cared and they were left to be destroyed. Streaks of lightning accompanied by immediate claps of rolling thunder roared overhead as the front door with great difficulty was being forced slowly open by her friend, allowing her admittance.

The raging storm was just as intense within as without. Clothing, pictures and loose papers were being whirled about from room to room in chaotic manner, while furniture and dishes smashed against the walls - pieces scattering over the floor. The din was very hard to stand against, but the Lord had said for her to "Go," and here she was.

There was really nothing that could be said during such a tempest. Words could not be very well heard because the howling gale kept the two separated by all but presence. So there the two waited and watched as the world about them was torn apart.

Later, when the visiting person had to leave, the storm besetting the house yet remained. Had she made a mistake? Had the Lord really said for her to "Go?" What good had been accomplished by her visiting her friend? Her steps increased in speed as she directed her way toward home. She thought about the terrible plight of the sorrowing mother, and hoped the answer might be more clearly understood than had the command.

That night, after the things of the day had quieted down, God spoke with her again. As often happened, it was not the time expected. Still, she listened closely to the quiet voice.

"You did as I bid and you did well. You stood in the way representing me. Though you see not, your presence meant a lot. For as I speak to mankind by creation, so the language of your staying as you did speaks of your care and compassion. The message was heard."

"But, Lord, nothing happened. The storm was still there, blowing as fiercely when I left as when I arrived. Is there something you can do to help?

"By my Word I stilled the winds and waves of Galilee. I raise the dead. I am the Lord. The grieving you have for your friend also grieves me. I, too, shall go." And that was all. The voice and presence of God passed on. But in passing, the Lord had left peace.

The next day, with much trepidation as to what would be found, she returned to visit the storm buffeted house once again. But now, even a block away, she could see a radiant glow covering that part of the sky where low lying storm clouds had been the day before. Drawing closer she saw a large, shimmering rainbow of promise arched silently above, displaying the protective presence of God there.

It was evident that Lord had once again stilled the waves and wind of the Sea of Galilee. The large repaired rend in the roof looked normal again, other than the new roofing was gilded with silver and edged with gold. Even the shutters, and side of the house where they had been banging against, were repaired in like perfect manner - having the silver and gold trademark of the passing of the Lord. The house of sorrow was now a house transformed into one of beauty and light.

On either side of the front door climbing roses were in full bloom, their full springtime fragrance evoking thoughts of peace and rest. On the door itself this message had been artfully engraved, "Blessed are all who enter here. The blessing of the Lord be upon you."

Just as surprising as was the outside appearance, was the manner in which the door opened by itself at one's approach, bidding them welcome. Heavenly, clear notes of joy mixing with beams of light coming from within flooded over the yard, lighting up the street beyond, the luminous grace vying for excellence with the protective rainbow abiding above.

Inside everything was in order as should be. It was evident the train of the Lord had passed through the house, each seeking some good to perform. Was it not possible that the fading, glowing fingerprints on the papers and books, so neatly placed where they belonged, were those of the Lord? And the furniture that was repaired so perfectly, could it not have been done by the Carpenter from Galilee? How much it was like Him to take care of all things.

It was such a sweet place to be, she would have loved to stay longer, but another visitor was already enjoying the presence of this home blessed by God. The dear one, whose heart yesterday had been broken apart with sorrow for all time, was now happy, rejoicing and encouraging another mother who had experienced the same sorrow, and who could not get free of her storm.

The clouds hanging about the head of the visitor, obscuring her vision, were evaporating away. It was strange how her face was beginning to show a life warming glow and becoming youthful in appearance as she listened to earnest spoken words. In spite of herself, a new risen smile of happiness touched the corner of her lips while hope revealed its presence in her eyes, and her soul was once again awakening to the dawning presence of faith rising within. How could it be that there were no words which could be spoken amidst the storm yesterday but today the same one was able to not only speak to another burdened with the same problem, but even seemed to have the ability to still the waves of sorrow and hush the winds of adversity. What kind of magic was it?"

Leaving the two alone, reluctantly, she departed and began walking toward her own house, wondering at what she had seen. "So you see," began the still, small voice of God while she was musing about the mystery, "I have a reason for the storm. Because our loved one has been through the wind and waves of Galilee, she shall speak often of Me and I shall comfort many others. Because her affection is set on things above, she shall have eternal riches. I am the Way. The lame and the blind are Mine. The rich and the poor belong to Me. I am the Lord." Then the voice was gone. The Lord in speaking had gilded understanding with silver and edged it with the gold of wisdom. Such was the trademark of the passing presence of the Lord.

LUST (story)
Lust

Lust is as a vengeful slave beating an abolitionist with a whip.

"Fifty cents apiece," said the suave salesman with a very friendly smile as he indicated by gesture of his hand the racks of multi-colored slacks beside him. This was the first time Krod had ever been in this particular store and he could not believe the prices of the goods offered for sale. The store, a converted airplane hangar alongside an old, abandoned airport, had a small, white, freshly painted sign hanging out in front with the word "Goods" printed in broad, black letters. It was not a store Krod would have entered due to its sign, or impressive store front, he had really only stopped in hopes of finding some water for his overheated car engine, and the owner had invited him in to look around.

"I'd like three pair," said Krod, not really sure what to expect. He thought the owner at this point might smile and say that it was all a joke. Nobody sold goods at these low prices.

"And what colors would you like?" asked the owner, whose name Krod had learned was Slatan.

"Dark green. That certainly is a deep, rich color."

"Excellent choice. This is the most royal-rich green I've seen in a long while. It's almost velvet-like, isn't it?" responded Slatan.

"Yes, but all the trousers you have for sale seem to be made of this same kind of material," replied Krod, as he looked over other merchandise, but for which he had no particular interest.

"Now, how about a new car for you?" remarked Slatan after he had taken the money for the slacks. He came from behind the glass counter and headed toward the back of his store, seeming to sense that Krod would follow along.

"I can't afford a new car now," said Krod, as he held back a short distance. He didn't know if he liked the attitude of this self-confident salesman or not. Slatan didn't respond to Krod's hesitancy, but continued walking toward the rear of the store where he slid a large door aside for himself and Krod to pass through. Before them was the interior of a large warehouse which once housed airplanes. Mercury vapor lights, illuminating the windowless expanse cast a bright, metallic sheen over the room and its contents.

"We have the blue Corvair, perfectly good, for ten dollars," began Slatan, as he touched the hood of the first car of about forty in line, all of which looked brand new.

Krod almost lost his breath when he heard the price. He had actually bought the slacks he tightly clutched under his arm for a dollar fifty, so he had no reason to believe Slatan would not sell him the car for the price he had been quoted. Krod was in the process of saying, "Sold!" when, Slatan said there were still better buys further down the line.

"We have a selection of cars at the end here which will probably be more suited to yourself. There is a Cadillac at the end here which may be just the thing for a person of your taste," Slatan finished, as he continued walking along, Krod now trotting close behind.

There it was. The last car of the line. The most beautiful four door, pearl white car he had ever seen. Krod walked around the gleaming car as Slatan stood to the side, smiling. There was not a flaw to be seen anywhere on the inside or the outside. It was perfect.

"How much do you want for it?" asked Krod in a quavering voice as he stood looking at it, trying to appear but moderately interested. He desperately wanted the car but was sure he could not afford such luxury.

"Seventeen dollars and fifty cents," responded Slatan evenly as though he were saying seventeen thousand dollars. "If this one isn't the one you want, we might consider one of the others..."

"I'll take it! shouted Krod. "This is the one I want!" He grabbed his wallet, snatched a twenty dollar bill out and shoved it toward Slatan. He was going to seal the bargain immediately. Once Slatan took the money Krod was offering him the car would belong to him. His heart was pounding within as Slatan paused a moment, looking at the bill a second before reaching out to accept it.

"An excellent choice," he responded in a condescending manner while taking the offered money, smiling as he did so. "I'll return in a few minutes with the title to your new car and you can be on your way, unless you wish to remain and shop awhile longer. I've just begun an extensive advertisement blitz which should be on radio and television in about fifteen minutes. I expect to have quite a few sales at that time, so then I'll be
very busy. If you see anything else, now would be the time to buy it. Just look around and I'll be right back."

Krod did look briefly around the large, expansive airplane hangar. From where he stood in the interior he could see some busses and motorcycles along the far wall, then came rows of home appliances and furniture groupings. There was a lot of everything in the vast interior of the building, but all he could think of was his new pearl white Cadillac.

Krod pulled outward on the door handle to his new car and watched it noiselessly swing open. Sliding behind the wheel, and then dropping his three pairs of slacks on the seat beside him, he saw the key was in the ignition. Krod turned the key and the engine snapped to life, purring its power through the length of the car. "Mine," he thought to himself, "It's all mine. What a beautiful automobile!" He pulled the shift lever into dive. The luxurious car moved silently, effortlessly down the wide aisle designed for the cars to be driven outdoors on. It was difficult to wait till he could leave so he might run his new car on the open road.

"Here we are," said Slatan, as he flagged Krod down and handed him the necessary papers showing ownership to his new car.

"Thanks. Thanks a lot!" responded Krod, accepting the papers along with the change from the twenty dollar bill. As he looked at the signed title, the realization swept over him that it really belonged to him.

"As you drive straight ahead you'll see an overhead door marked with an 'H'. Go through that one. Of all the doors, that is the only one that opens by itself. On your way out you might wish to stop and look at our airplanes. We have a really good price on them all. Thank you for your business ... drive carefully." Slatan lifted his hand in farewell as Krod drove toward the overhead door marked with an "H", which opened by itself as he approached.

Krod's intention was to head directly downtown and drive about the streets awhile and then go for a long drive on the open road. But his attention was drawn to his right as he drove out the door. There was an Executive Blue Star Jet parked not more than fifty yards from where he was. His new, sleek, beautiful pearl white automobile seemed to stop by itself just about half way there. Krod jumped out, looking at the beautiful plane from a distance, and then hurried over to the waiting jet. Krod almost fainted as he kept his eyes on the glistening finish and sleek lines of the aircraft. His heart was transmitting strange pounding sensations to his mind as he considered the possibility - even the remotest possibility that he might be in position to buy such an aircraft. He would work the rest of his life for such a beautiful jet plane.

He ran is fingertips over the tread of the tires. They were new. The paint looked fresh and the skin of the ship was perfect. He stood there wondering if he could sell his new car in order to make a down payment when the familiar, friendly voice of Slatan came from behind him.

"This is really an excellent aircraft," began Slatan in his usual suave manner, "but we do have less expensive ones inside another hangar. If you could afford it though, this would be the best buy of all. This is our featured best buy on the sales blitz I was speaking of."

"Yes, yes," began Krod not knowing exactly what to say. He was afraid to make mention of the price because he didn't have the million plus dollars it would take to buy it. He was afraid not to speak because he might pass by a lifetime dream. "Yes," he continued in a small voice, "but how much is it?"

"Because it is in near perfect condition, having full instrumentation, ultra-plush interior, pressurized, and has every option possible, the cost has been set at a very firm seventy-five dollars," Slatan stated in a matter-of-fact selling voice which indicated he would not be swayed from the figure he had spoken.

"I'll take it!" shouted Krod, not realizing how loudly he was speaking. "I'll take it!"

"I was hoping you would," replied Slatan, "so I brought the papers with me. Just sign here and I'll give you your receipt - once you pay me, that is," finished Slatan in his almost apologetic voice, having been forced to remind Krod of that slight detail.

"Here! Here, keep the change!" said Krod, as he pulled out his wallet and handed Slatan most of the bills within without looking at their denomination.

"Thank you. But this is much more than the asking price," said Slatan, with a trace of a smile.

"I don't want it! Keep it all! Just get out of the way and let me up the ladder!" said Krod, pushing his way past Slatan, holding the bill of sale tightly in his hand. This was his plane now. As though in a trance, he hurried up the ladder and entered the most plush, executive aircraft ever built.

Krod needed no introduction to his new airplane. He had read books and studied manuals concerning the Executive Blue Star ever since its introduction. He knew its instruments by heart and he knew how to fly it. What Krod wanted now was to get his new plane in the air.

Krod climbed into the pilot's seat. It was all familiar as sitting in his living room chair. Automatically his hands passed over the switches to start the powerful jets, touching them in sequence. In his mind he was now headed down the runway at one hundred knots. Now the wheel was being pulled back slightly. Then the wheel gear came up. Now to settle back and enjoy the cruise. Yes, he could do it. Krod knew how to fly his Executive Blue Star, and he was going to do it right now!

The nose of the Executive Blue Star had been pointed away from the warehouse or Krod would have seen what was happening outside and would have quickly hidden his new, pearl white car, then he would have returned for his new jet and parked it out of sight of the unruly crowd which was driving itself into a frenzy as they sought to buy everything in sight. The swirling mass of shouting people was arriving by the hundreds every minute. There was no longer parking anywhere near the street by the huge store. Were it not for the shut gates leading into the airport itself, cars would have been jammed about Krod and Slatan. As it was, people could no longer leave the building once they arrived. Anxious shoppers were abandoning their cars as near the store as possible, then forming part of a stream of humanity that continually pushed its way inward. The advertising Slatan had done was very effective indeed.

The inside of the store was a nightmare. Those who had any article they wished to pay for might find it snatched out of their hands or arms by another who was determined to get a bargain. Clothes were being torn apart, goods smashed and objects thrown about. All this caused tempers to flare, so fights started and people were knocked about, shoved down and trampled on. For those who wanted to buy what they were able to keep there was no sales person to take their money, and there was no way out for those wishing to escape the insanity about them, and the press grew tighter and tighter. Many of those seeking to force their way in were looking to buy the Executive Blue Star which was being advertised on radio and television for the price of just seventy-five dollars to the first one there.

This pandemonium had been building during the time Krod had been mentally flying his new aircraft, while Slatan stood just behind him, smiling at unknown humor he seemed inclined not to share. He was still there when Krod rose up from his seat and started toward the aft part of the plane to shut the door.

"I'm going to take it up," said Krod, motioning to Slatan with his hand that it was time for him to leave.

"Fine, replied Slatan, "I'm sure you shall enjoy your new aircraft. I've been trying to think of some minor malfunction I was told about, but it escapes me at the moment. I'm sure you shall discover what it is. It can't be very important, for the plane was flown here just yesterday."

"I know how out check the systems," replied Krod with assurance as He began walking toward the rear of the aircraft, Slatan trotting close behind. Stepping to the entrance of the door Krod could see a throng of people at the back entrance of the hangar from where he had just recently come. Slatan, watching the mob mill about, seemed not to care about their unruly tempers as they shouted and fought with one another in their effort to get out the back door so they could see what was for sale outside. They had spotted Krod's new car and were surrounding it. To Krod's amazement, people were even getting inside - inside his new car!

"Is this the plane for seventy five dollars?" demanded one of the men who left the car when the mass of shouting people had grown so large it was obvious no one was going to get it in any condition other than wrecked. He was being followed by a thin stream of others. They reminded Krod of a colony of ants milling about, seeking their prey.

"It's mine," said Krod. "I just bought it from Mr. Slatan here." It was at this point that the smile disappeared from Slatan's face and a scowl appeared. He did not like to have his acts ascribed to himself in public.

"I suppose that car is yours too," responded the same man in his belligerent manner as others moved in close to hear the conversation.

"It's mine!" said Krod, shouting at those surrounding his car, and at the man who stood below looking upward at Slatan and himself. He winced as he recalled he had left his three pair of velvet like trousers in the car. Then he remembered that he had left the car title inside also, and the keys were in the ignition. Things were happening about him he did not understand nor like. Something was terribly wrong. People were tearing at each other to get in his car. He saw a slim woman running away from the crowd with all three pairs of his trousers. She was being chased by others!

As he watched, the back window of his once beautiful car smashed outward, while people all about were trying to establish some form of priority so they could claim ownership of it. A man emerged out the rear window with the title held high over his head as though he had just won a prize. He was immediately hit in the head by a large, fat lady who clubbed him with her heavy purse. She pulled him forward off the trunk of the car onto the pavement and fell with all her weight on his spine with her knee. Snatching the title out of his hand, she climbed on the trunk of the car and began forcing her way into the window from which the man had just emerged.

A back and forth rocking motion of his airplane brought Krod out of his stupor. He realized there was a mass of people moving about his airplane, many were now looking up and shouting at himself and Slatan. Men were fighting as to who was going to pay seventy five dollars for his aircraft! These people didn't seem to understand that he wanted both his car and airplane. He watched as a man reached into his pocket and pulled out a bundle of large denomination bills, holding them high for Slatan to see, while he screamed something indistinguishable above the rising tumult about himself. The man was hit hard in the stomach by a well directed elbow and his money scattered through the air while he collapsed into the milling throng. The world about Krod had become something insane.

It was even more startling to Krod when he felt Slatan try and push him out the door. Were it not that he had a tight hold on the hand grip, Krod would have been shoved headlong out the door. As it was he continued his body motion outward with Slatan still gripping his left arm, while he hung on with all his might with his right hand to the hand grip. Slatan suddenly swung out in midair, falling out the door of the aircraft with no place to go but down. He vanished instantly in the swirling sea of people as though swallowed up by an unseen vortex.

Krod snarled at those looking up at him. They would not get his new airplane. It belonged to him and he was going to keep it. He slammed the large door shut and locked it. He could no longer hear the din around his aircraft. It was amazing how silent things had suddenly become. The only evidence as to what was happening outside was the continual rocking of his airplane as people fought about it, seeking to establish their right of ownership from scores of others who forcefully sought to do the same. Running to the cockpit, he fell into the pilot's seat and began starting the two powerful jet engines. Almost immediately the two engines sang their duet to energy, as their hot blast drove people away from the powerful machine newly come to life.

With both engines running full throttle, Krod let off the brakes momentarily and then reapplied them. He did this time after time, forcing the heavy aircraft ahead further and further, faster and faster each time as he did so. Krod wanted the people in front of the tires to have a chance to get out of the way. It wasn't that he cared for them, but he knew if people were to fall down and become packed in front of his aircraft their bodies would act as wedges under his airplanes tires, and from a starting position he might not be able to roll over them.

His plan worked. As his engines sang their forceful song of persuasive power people hurried to get out of the way. The Executive Blue Star began picking up speed, its resolute mass clearing a way for him. Faster and faster he was going, and then all the people were gone. If they did get in his way now he could run right over them.

As he swung the aircraft around so it was pointing toward the runway, he saw his once beautiful car with people still milling about it, and it appeared as though the fat lady had actually made it to the driver's seat! Krod could see many people were yet interested in his airplane, for they were pointing in his direction. He cared nothing for them or about the car now. The car was a wreck - let them have it. He had his Executive Blue Star. He was going to leave this crazy place and land in some safe spot where he could collect his thoughts.

Outward he raced toward the landing strip, his mind gaining composure as he sped along. Stopping as he came to the runway, so he could turn his aircraft onto it, he glanced out the window to his right, and to his amazement saw his pearl white car coming directly toward him. It appeared as though they were going to try and stop him from taking off!

Wheeling the heavy plane onto the runway, Krod shoved both throttles all the way forward. He watched the car make adjustment in order to try and intercept him. Krod leaned forward in his seat as though the momentum of his body might be added to that of the thrust of the roaring jets. His speed was increasing quickly as the two hissing infernos mocked the white car whose speed was quickly decreasing relative to his own. The air speed indicator had quickly risen to one hundred twenty knots. Krod knew he was safe. He no longer had to pay attention to the car and air speed indicator at the same time, so he focused all his attention on what he was doing, and on the runway.

Just ahead he saw a brown ribbon cut clear across it. It was a ditch of some sort, and there was no possibility of stopping for it now, but he didn't have to. Krod pulled gently back on the wheel and the Executive Blue star took to its natural element. He could feel the ground vibrations cease as his aircraft became airborne. Hitting the "wheels up" lever, he could feel greater forward thrust as the air resistance decreased due to their being tucked away.

The possibilities stretching out before him now were limitless. What luxury the Executive Blue Star would bring to his life. He was master of events now, and as master he would sweep over the howling mass below and show them who had conquered. They had gotten his new trousers and car, but he would have the last laugh. He would skim over the top of the old airport hangar with his engines going fill blast.

Beginning a right hand turn at three thousand feet, Krod started a steep descent toward the airfield. Below he could see the clogged freeway near Slatan's store looking much like a huge, winding parking lot. He could make out a rising line of black smoke coming from a dot inside the brown ditch which traversed the airport runway, and he knew it was his pearl white Cadillac that had crashed into it.

"Serves 'em right," he muttered to himself as he completed his turn, still on his angle of descent. He was headed right for the mass of tightly packed, multi-colored dots below. They would soon know...

Leveling out at one hundred feet above the ground, traveling at four hundred fifty knots directly toward Slatan's store, the twin jets of the Executive Blue Star whispered their last notes. Krod was flying a dead ship. The minor malfunction Slatan had mentioned, but which he had failed to remember, was the fuel gages did not work. They always registered full, even when the tanks were empty - as they were now. In just a few seconds the Executive Blue Star was going to be shared among them all.

Consider: What things constitute that which is worth fighting and dying for? Is it object or principle? Then, whose?

Hello, Night (Story)
HELLO, NIGHT

Enchanted night when people asleep are able to fly, while long shadows reaching for more than they can hold meet others in the way.

Silence, heard by sight, floats over the land, softly nodding greeting, ”Hello, Night, hello, hello, hello.”

“Hello, hello, hello,” responds reflected light of the moon, the echo of day.

Awakens Quiet, to discourse upon nocturnal repose, and so greets Endless Sky, “Hello, hello, hello. Hello Moon; Hello, Silence. Old friends, hello, hello, hello.”

Moving over resting land, arm-in-arm, friends of the clime leave the heat of day to admire scenes painted through the sky.

Soon the hinge of time, whence Day’s rays begin to show, and where people no longer can fly, force all but self away.

The chart of Memory alone remains of a time when we were able to fly.

Pride (Story)

Pride (Story)
Pride

Pride is Satan's bribe to the most powerful.

Early on the third day the sun shone. The prowling cold winds of a fierce storm had been striding about the surface of the Great Mountain, whistling their aimless tunes of loneliness while poking themselves in and about the rocks, examining closely whatever was there. Then it seemed their examination of animate and inanimate objects gradually became uninteresting and they vanished to another part of the world. But in their impudent passing they left behind a cloudless, deep blue sky delicately reflecting itself in a brilliant world of white snow, broken only in starkness by the occasional black and grey barren rocks swept free of their white carpet.

The freezing wind, though causing the warriors to shiver with cold during the night, had rendered a benefit to them by blowing clear a smooth, wide ascending path. The men continued their journey soon as it was light, assured they would reach the legendary city where all the inhabitants were said to be kings and queens, and a mystical power existed capable of making a man ruler of all the earth and cause him to live forever.

Twenty warriors had begun the trek up the Great Mountain. They endured many hardships and dangers while following snow and ice covered ledges, some along the side of deep crevasses, where if one were to slip and fall they would be lost forever. But now the city could not be far away. They would soon know if the legend of an ancient race of people who once ruled the ancient world was true or not. The ten warriors would also learn if the other ten of their original group, who had decided to continue on during the storm in order to keep warm, had reached the city or froze along the way. The desire to conquer the unknown spurred these last ten starting out toward exerting themselves to climb faster.

By the middle of that day the group of men finally reached the walls of the city which had been lost to the living for so long. As they slowly approached a gateless, towering, black granite bulwark, it seemed as though a sentry somewhere above should challenge their presence. But everything was silent along its entire length, other than occasional drops of water falling from the top edge making a drip, drip noise as they splattered on the rocks below, sounding loud and out of place in the surrounding absolute stillness. Standing close together, the men feared the unknown expecting the unexpected. Could it be possible the ancient people were yet alive and living within these walls? If so, were they waiting to destroy their visitors by some strange power?

Walking slowly along the towering wall, keeping far enough away from its incriminating presence to feel safe from a surprise attack, they heard no noise other than an occasional distant drip of water and the continual crunching of snow beneath their feet. After turning the corner of the dark city wall they found a number of arch openings. They were small, just large enough for a single person to pass through, but they were closed, and the doors had no handles on them. The warriors did not try to force them open. No more than a ten minute walk beyond the last of these small doors was the tall, broad, main gate into the city, and it appeared to be wide open. The men remained in a tight group while standing in the center of the gateway, having once reached it, looking for any sign of life along the expansive avenue leading into the heart of the ancient city they had been searching for. Other than many small mounds of drifted snow scattered along the length of the broad main street, the city seemed in perfect order.

"Hello!" shouted the leader of the warriors. His voice echoed back and forth among the buildings as though seeking someone to acknowledge its passing presence. But everything was silent. There was no answer. After a moment the men, who had been holding their breath so they might catch the slightest returning sound, resumed their normal breathing.

Walking, spread out side by side, the group passed on through the gate. There were no footprints in the light dusting of snow that covered the street, but they wondered if in an enchanted city, that this meant anything. The eyes of the warriors gazed intently place to place, their weapons ready. Every form registered on their minds. Dark doorways were stared at intently, but not entered. Tops of the flat roof lines towering far above were scanned for any movement. Colonnades and statues of men, women and beasts were watched carefully. But the city was, as it appeared to be deserted.

One warrior, who glancing behind to see if they might be walking into a trap, suddenly toppled backward. He fell hard on the stone pavement, his drawn sword clattered on an unseen metal object in the drift of snow over which he had fallen. The loud clanging sound was quickly muffled as the broad blade sank into the drift.

"Hel...!" began the shout of the warrior as he fell backward, unable to catch his footing on the icy pavement. The part of his call for help being cut off as the breath was knocked out of him.

Immediately all eyes were fixed on the fallen comrade to determine the cause of alarm. Relief flooded their minds as they realized his cry had come from his tripping over one of the drifts of snow. The echo of alarm quickly passed and silence reigned once more. The city was empty.

Two men grabbed their fallen friend by his arms and lifted him to his feet. Another picked up his sword and kicked at the drift of snow his friend had tripped over. Yellow gold gleamed back at him in return, and a man's perfectly preserved arm was partially revealed, exposing a large, gold armlet around the upper muscle. The caution of silence turned into excitement as the clasp was opened and the heavy metal band taken off the frozen arm. Immediately the men began arguing about whose it was to be. Such a prize would make any of them wealthy when they returned home. Then they found the same fallen man had another exactly like it on the other arm. Then they discovered a massive gold chain with a ruby pendant about his neck. Those who grabbed the gold objects kept them, while others wondered how they could make those who had the treasure share it.

The warriors then began exploring the other mounds of drifted snow. These too were found to be fallen men and women dressed much as the first man had been. Each wore something of gold, and many gold items had precious gems embedded in them. Soon so much gold and gems had been gathered that the men were leaving behind anything but what they felt was the very best. Then it became too difficult for each man to carry his individual hoard of even the best treasure, so they began making separate piles, shouting to one another where their claim was. But after a time even the lure of gold and jewels became tiresome. They grew tired of taking gold from the dead, and adding more to their piles that were already too heavy to carry down the mountain.

One of the warriors noticed for the first time a building far down the street that appeared the tallest and grandest of all. They hurried in that direction, hoping to find greater treasures yet. As they approached the building they noted tall figures of lovely people exquisitely carved into the front wall in such manner their bodies seemed a part of the building itself. Some were carved so as to make it appear they were stepping directly out of the solid wall, while others were made to appear as though they were walking into it. Some of the figures had their hands in front of them while facing each other, as though gesturing while in the midst of earnest conversation, while many others had their heads turned, gazing toward two, tall, lovely maidens standing on either side of the tall doorway leading into the building. Each of these two maidens had the simple gesture of a slightly extended open hand, apparently beckoning all to enter. There was something about the design of the building itself, being intimately united with human form, that drew the mind and desire of each man toward the entrance ... something very pleasing and difficult to understand. The longer they considered why the simple gesture of the maidens who were standing partly in and out of the stone wall, each with her hand extended toward them so attracted their attention, the less they cared to know the reason and wondered what was inside.

Finally they decided to go up the broad steps together and explore its interior. When they reached the top, they saw in the light powdery snow many footprints! They could have been there for days or they could have been there for centuries. The warriors did not know the answer, but they did see that there were none leading back out! They took their weapons firmly in hand once more, and started slowly inward.

As they moved along the highly polished floor toward the interior, a fine mist of warm oil drifted over them all. It was so fine the warriors did not know they had been covered by it, but the immediate effect it had was to make each of them comfortably warm for the first time in many days. The mist had acted as an insulator against the cold for the first inhabitants for many centuries, and still served all who entered. They could not know it, but this same mysterious oil would also preserve their bodies from ever aging while in the cold. At one time it had even helped preserve the lives of those who once built and lived in this mysterious place. But whatever it was that changed that condition, it happened to them all, and that only which remained of this royal, beautiful people were preserved corpses.

Realizing they had suddenly grown warmer, yet not knowing the reason for it, the warriors accepted it as being part of the magic of the city and building. Focusing their attention upon that which was about them only, they moved slowly further into the interior. Passing through a vast archway they came to a place where they witnessed a beautiful, intense blue green light glowing brilliantly. Deflected sunlight coming in through a very large opening in the roof was focused into what looked like a huge block of emerald rock setting on a tall, black column of granite. The incoming light then became a single beam of pure radiance focused on something in the back distance of the huge, magnificent wedge shaped room where they now stood, all amazed at the focused and diffused brilliance of the light.

Relief work, some thirty feet in height, of handsome men and very beautiful women, everywhere adorned the walls. Even the ceiling was of the same kind of relief work, done so as to make it appear the entire interior of the vast room was of people stepping out of the walls, or magically suspended as part of the ceiling. The figures appeared to be directing all their attention to where the light was focused. The visual direction and frozen motion of every silent being also turned the warrior’s attention toward what it was the carved figures found so important. Awed by the excellent carvings and sublime beauty about them, the men moved slowly onward through the silence, seeing scattered about on the floor more corpses as had been outside. Later, while looking back along the wall to where they had entered, one warrior noticed, and pointed out to the others, how the images became smaller the further in they went. Also, the walls were drawing closer together, so the appearance to the warriors at present was that all the figures they had passed were of nearly one size.

Had they been more aware of what was before them, they would have noticed frozen corpses becoming more and more numerous as they moved further into the blue green interior. But death had now become common, and the prostrate bodies were unmoving, so they stepped over the lifeless forms without thinking of their presence.

Then, drawing near to the furthest end of the vast interior, one by one the men stopped as they approached two thrones raised on a black granite dais that were totally bathed in the single beam of light. On the thrones sat two motionless monarchs.

The queen, whose features were held in timeless perfection, showed beauty and grace as does a frozen flower. Long curling hair still fell in graceful lines about her shoulders from beneath her crown. Her head was tilted against the back of the high throne; her eyes were shut and chin slightly up. A hint of a smile could be seen at the corners of her lips, as though she had stopped what she was doing for a moment to meditate on a pleasant thought. The man sitting next to her, looking directly ahead through glazed, open eyes, was one of their warrior friends with whom they had begun their journey!

Had the men taken flight at that instant, they could have saved themselves, but they did not. The arresting beauty of the yet lovely queen and the radiant glory of the large thrones on the raised dais, and the beautiful jewel covered crowns the king and queen wore bewitched them. The stiff, frozen bodies of their other nine friends lying about the bottom of the dais were not even noticed.

It was the king that wore the crown who ruled this kingdom. He who had the crown would have more glory than any other king in the world. Though not spoken, every man there wished he could sit upon that throne and keep the crown, if just for a while. Here was a kingdom a warrior could have just for the taking. They would be surrounded by glory and riches beyond compare.

That man most used to giving into the prompting of greed first headed forward to take the king's crown. Another, instinctively knowing what he was after, grabbed his arm to hold him back, but the first lashed out at him with his already drawn sword. A close friend came to the wounded man's assistance while yet another moved up the dais steps toward the throne in order to grab the crown and the kingdom - but he was stopped also. Again and again this happened, each man determined to possess that which was so close to his grasp.

One of the ten finally stood alone, he also mortally wounded, but that did not trouble him. Struggling upward he made it to the top of the dais and then to the throne of the king. He leaned heavily against the side of the massive throne, then lifted the heavy crown from off the head of his former comrade and put it on his own head. He felt it was a perfect fit, but the weight was so great he had to stand very erect, and move slowly and carefully while he shoved his frozen friend off the throne, and then, heavily, sat down himself.

Now he was the lord of the most glorious kingdom in the world. Yes, he was king, and there shone the light. It was just for him. Even though beginning to wane in the lowering sun, it still shone wonderfully bright. He turned his head to look as his lovely queen bathed in the same brilliance. Her slightly upturned face and closed eyes were radiant with rapture at his being her new king.

Moments later his eyes shifted slowly toward the silent forms all about his throne. There were thousands of magnificent people coming out of the walls and ceiling, all looking directly at him, all reaching out toward him, expressing their admiration for him! While looking directly into the light he could see nothing but the light, but as soon as his line of sight traveled to the upper or outer edges of the vast room, he could see those of his kingdom. He was now their new sovereign. Oh, the glory of it all!

Within a few minutes, where his disposed friend had been looking when the young warriors had entered a short while ago, warm and alive, he now looked. His open eyes were glazed and sightless. The light no longer thrilled him with its excellence. Upon the brilliant glowing crown of the new king, as his queen, etched in a very ancient language he had never heard before, was a single word meaning "perfection". That same word in that ancient language also meant "pride".

The reason for re-publishing this is that this experiment needs to be performed. There is a lot of confusion as to what gravitational waves are, and their point of origin. There are those who believe that these waves have no physical value to them at all, and the value of "c" is just an abstract number used to describe a function of mass/energy. Gravitons are a function of energy being divided by mass, and they perform a specific function in our world. These waves allow a mass to accumulate a great deal of kinetic energy without coming apart, due to physical mass being combined with energy as physical mass. It appears that God has made our world in such manner that we occupy physical time in a very limited manner, and that which is not directly part of our physical time does not exist in our time in any manner whatsoever. The direct speed of light, and only that speed, is the universe we live in. Any mass or energy value not composed of that speed does not exist to us. By the release of gravitons, our entire world always remains the same speed, no matter what. It is similar to when electrons (or part of their frequency) come apart in the filament of an incandescent light bulb. By releasing the energy in the electron state, the nuclear release is of a continual small value. Were the energy able to compound in the protons and neutrons, the energy could come apart as very high forms of radiation, and perhaps as the greater mass coming apart.

"The internal heat energy within our planet causes its mass to form into the shape of a sphere, compacting the mass of earth. It is the heat energy within our planet, forcing the mass to become compacted, that causes our gravitational field to form to the intense factor it does. Were there no internal heat energy within our planet, then there could be no gravitational field. Were the internal heat energy within our planet to decrease in value, our planet's gravitational field would also decrease in intensity. The value velocity of "c" (c2=E/m) within earth's mass evidences itself apart from the mass containing it. In the past, the value of the time wave (c) has been ignored as having an existence at all when considering electromagnetic energy. Yet this velocity is the basis for the explanation of electromagnetic radiation (speed), and is itself formed of electromagnetic energy. The value of "c" is the common velocity that all clocks measure in some physical manner as being time, and we, ourselves, are composed of this value as is all else having physical existence. It is also this velocity that we relate with as being real time. Having explained the basis for gravitation, take a look at how it may be proven whether the gravitational field of earth might have as its origin the internal heat energy within or not. The location in which the experiment needs to be performed is in outer space, where it would be free from earth's gravitational influence and surrounding, small gravitational fields are able to be well isolated. This, obviously, is the part others need to perform.

"The experiment would consist of three pairs of lead spheres, each set of two spheres being distant enough from any other surrounding mass that they could only influence and be influenced by each other.

"The first set of spheres would each be heated to near six hundred degrees f. and placed a fixed distance apart in such manner they would be perfectly motionless relative to each other before the experiment began. Once the restraint on them was removed and they were free to move, each sphere would begin moving toward the other and they would meet at a midway point.

"In the second set of spheres, one sphere would be heated to the same temperature as those of the first set while the second sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible, then the spheres would be distanced as were the first set. What would be observed once the spheres were released to freely move, is that the heated sphere would remain motionless while the frozen sphere would begin moving toward the heated one until they met. They, then, would begin sharing the heat energy and both would have a reduced gravitational field.

"The third set of spheres, would consist to two lead spheres set the same distance apart as the first and second set, but each sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible. That which would be observed once they were released to move freely, is that neither sphere would begin moving toward the other as in the first two sets. If each sphere had a temperature of absolute zero Kelvin, they would never move toward each other.

This simple experiment would demonstrate the force of gravitation to be, or not to be, a field of time (c2=E/m), whose origin is that of a particular form of energy and not of a continual creation. What do you think? Is it possible? Will it ever be known if it is not examined? It might be something to consider."

Answer to Arthur concerning time duration

From Arthur:

The Real Answer to your quest is that of Time itself. Just as changes in mass modulate the progression of Time within Space, the only coordinating feature of Quantum Mechanics is the relationship of Time Frames. As such, all we have is Time after all. -- Posted by Arthur Collins to Time Bones at 2/07/2006 01:04:02 PM

Dear Arthur,

You didn't go far enough. Were you to seperate the past from the future, there would be but present time. Were this to be examined, it would be found that we move through time at the speed of light, possibly the only physical duration of actual existence is that of the dimension of "h". That which we see as reality has actually ceased to exist even as we move through it; all that we consider as "present physical time" is what is being processed "after the fact."

True or false?

When the value of c, e, and m are zero

2006-02-08T08:28:00.000-06:00

Why the value of e, c, and m is able to equal zero in value, and what this means.

First, what would happen if all the mass (m) in existence were to be moved to one location as a giant cube? It would be formed so there was no kinetic energy, and the total heat value within would be absolute zero. Would there be any distinguishable feature about this mass that would be different from a large solar mass of today?

Since the value of any sort of energy (e) would no longer be existent, the mass could no longer have a gravitational field. If the energy value were zero, so would the gravitational field be zero. In order to form a gravitational field, c2=e/m, both mass and energy are required. Mass (m), energy (e), and the speed of light squared (c2) are each able to stand alone as an entity to itself, but are interdependent to make our universe function as it does.

Second, remove the mass altogether and then what would be found? That which would exist would be energy in form of electromagnetic energy (EME). This form of energy is able to exist as long radio waves to very short cosmic radiation. Wherever these waves would originate, in one year they would be about six trillion miles away. Space would be totally empty of all form of energy. There would be no heat energy or kinetic energy anywhere, because both of these require the presence of mass in order to form. There could be no gravitational waves form because this form of energy requires the presence of mass plus that of heat energy to come into existence. Mass, itself, could not form because there would be no manner for EME to form into electrons, which would in turn form into protons and neutrons. It requires an already present mass to convert the linear frequency of EME into forming three dimensional mass.

Note that the closer these forces exist by themselves, the less value the others would have. For instance, were there to be only (m) in existence, the value for (e) and (c) would be zero. As soon as e were added, there could be kinetic energy as well as the formation of c2.

God has given mankind the ability to reason by "what if's." This is one instance where the "what if" brings us to the conclusion that were our universe not created as a whole, it would not have been created at all.

Appendix B

Time, Energy and Gravitation

This is part of a work called "The Bones of Time" (c) 1971 - 2005, D. Ertle

This short appendix shall describe how the relationships exist between (m) mass, (E) energy and (c2) a field of physical, real-time. The simple manner of relating the three we shall look at later.

The place to begin is with a familiar equation to us all, E=mc2. I am going to use this and other simple equations found in a book called “The Great International Math on Keys Book”, copyrighted in 1976 by Texas Instruments Inc., to relate the parts of E=mc2 to that of gravitational attraction. The first equation is going to be that for converting mass entirely into energy, ch. 8 - p. 11.

As with many things God has made, the conversion of mass into energy is a straightforward concept. The effort in accomplishing this has come to pass because of those past people who have reduced mass and energy into relatable, basic units, and to Mr. Einstein who perceived the relationship between mass and energy and then reduced them to understandable terms. In using the equation for converting mass into energy I shall define what these three are, then show their relationships one with another. First, we shall consider mass. Mass in our equation is defined in kilograms. By multiplying the speed of light times itself in meters per second, which number is 299, 790, 00; we gain the energy value of mass as found in units of Joules (notice how time as an absolute velocity (c2) and energy (Joules) are related as being the same entity). 1 (the “1” here represents one kilogram of mass - 2.2 lbs.) x 299,790,000 x 299,790,000 equals 89,874,044,000,000,000 Joules of energy in the one kilogram of mass.

That is a lot of energy, but that energy is directly equitable to mass by reversing the entire process. It is obvious if you have the value for energy you must have the value for mass also. The problem with this concept is that we don’t know how to convert energy into mass as we do convert mass into energy (and even in this transformation we are not very efficient). God had to do that at the time of creation. Ever since that instant every mass to energy relationship in the cosmos has been running down in some manner. Like a watch unwinding that has no manner whereby it may be rewound (to demonstrate the point, try catching a bunch of passing gravitons sometime and then form them into electromagnetic energy).

Another difficulty that has existed in the past with this equation has been with the c2 concept. Why in the world would multiplying a kilogram of mass times the velocity of light squared have anything to do with the ultimate amount of energy a mass would yield? (Notice, once again, that time is directly converted into an expression of energy). It wouldn’t have anything to do with mass if mass were not composed of electromagnetic energy, but because mass is composed of this form of energy, it becomes the basis of the existence of mass. Accelerating a mass increases the mass frequency in one direction, which frequency increase has really converted three dimensions of mass into one dimension of greater kinetic energy. This may sound vague to you at first, but consider that Sir Isaac Newton already had it partially figured out as to how a field of time was defined, which we know as our gravitational field, but missed the concept that the energy of acceleration itself was a field of physical time. (It appears to myself that were Mr. Newton to have continued on with his work he would have figured it out before his life ended, had God so intended). So the c2 concept is an elusive thing to consider relative to what we observe in our normal, physical world. Also, a field of time cannot be reversed, as we know it, into the mass from whence it came, thus reversing the flow of physical time so we may check our findings as we may with the back and forth mass and energy relationship.

In ch. 8 - p. 14, there is a very good synopsis of the force of gravitation and how it operates between two masses. The equation we are interested in is G (gravitational constant) x m (mass of earth), then having this product divided by earth’s radius which has been multiplied times itself. The resultant number shall be equal to the mass acceleration at the point of the mass radius, or center of earth. The force generated (by the value of earth gravitation, times mass, divided by the radius times itself) shall be equal to c2 in form of ENERGY as a mass moving in a field of time. Apart from a mass the c2 concept has no meaning. Were all the mass of the cosmos converted into c2 there would be no physical existence, and any other kind of physical existence would not exist (physical, real-time, itself, appears to have three dimensions to it also - magnetic and electric gravitons (waves) as well as the value of c). Real-time effects upon a mass have expressed the force of c2 since the time of Newton rather than the concept of what c2 is by its own self (a field of time). Let’s take a look at the background of this concept, then at how it relates to our physical world.

A British physicist, C. Vernon Boys, in 1895 measured the weight of earth using a principle first instituted by Henry Cavendish. This was to compare the weight of small lead spheres with that of gold spheres, and how the gold spheres were deflected by the gravitational pull of earth. Boys did a good job. Mr. Boys at that time actually discovered the value for the c2 equation for earth mass. The gravitational constant for earth is c2=E/m. We need that information Mr. Boys provided to determine the velocity of a mass at different points within the earth. So a chain of observations by different people were brought into existence. It was Sir Isaac Newton, Henry Cavendish, C. Vernon Boys, and others who in turn influenced them, that makes possible the equation we use today for finding c2 in relation to earth and other solar masses. As usual, there is a long line of people over long periods of time behind any advancement in understanding of how God put our physical world together.

In understanding the force of gravitation, a good way to begin is to see how the relationship between the gravitational constant, the mass of earth, and the radius of the mass of earth combine; and to do this you need to see how a problem works out for yourself. Using the illustration in our text, we need to multiply the gravitational constant 6.6732 x 10 -11 or, 0.000000000066732 times the mass of earth, 5.98 x 10 24 kg., or 5,980,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilograms. (You can see right away that it would be nice to have a small scientific calculator that handles exponents so you don’t have to keep track of all those zeros). By accomplishing this multiplication you shall have found the energy relationship of the mass of earth to that of the gravitational constant - this is the (E) part of the equation of c2 = E divided by m. The (m) relationship to E is that of distance from the core point of the mass to an outward point being considered, and the mass contained within that area. Let’s take a closer look using some more numbers.

First, we shall look at the c2 value for the surface of earth (R = 3,950 miles), then we shall consider earth at its radius of (R = 0.717 miles). Earth mass, 5.98 x 10 24 kilograms, times that of the gravitational constant 6.6732 x 10 -11, shall give us 399,057,360,000,000 or 3.9905736 x 10 14. This is our (E) energy value. Next, we need to convert 3,950 miles into meters. So we multiply that number times 1,609.26 to find the distance in meters for the 3,950 miles. This equals 6,356,577, which number we have to multiply times its own self in order that we arrive at (R2). The radius number times itself becomes 40,406,071,000,000 or 4.0406071 x 10 13. This is our (m) mass number. Now we divide the (E) energy relationship by that of (m) mass and we arrive at 399,057,360,000,000 divided by 40,406,071,000,000, which equals 9.876 meters. By multiplying 9.876 meters times 3.281 we arrive at a 32.40 foot per second, per second acceleration 3,950 miles from the center of our planet, at which location you are probably accelerating right now.

I know it is confusing messing around with a lot of numbers that you do not often work with and at first do not fully understand how they are supposed to relate. I have to stop and figure it all out again each time I do it too. But I’ve taken the time to figure the mass acceleration for different distances into earth so you can see how the mass in each of these locations beneath us is already accelerating at the speeds indicated. The only reason the mass does not suddenly, immediately, begin collapsing is that it is all mutually supporting each other. Sort of like a “keystone” does at the top of a stone bridge, which single stone keeps all the rest from falling apart. Here we go:

1,500 miles from the core point of earth mass is atomically accelerating at 224.70 feet per second per second.

100 miles from the core point of earth mass is atomically accelerating at 50,557.91 feet per second per second.

10 miles from the core point of earth mass is atomically accelerating at 957.53 MILES per second per second.

5 miles from the core point of earth mass is atomically accelerating at 3,830.14 miles per second per second.

2.5 miles from the core point of earth that mass is atomically accelerating at 15,320.58 miles per second per second.

1.5 miles from the core point of earth that mass is atomically accelerating at 42,557.16 miles per second per second.

Then at 0.717 miles from the center point of earth, mass there is accelerating at 186,258.84 miles per second. This is almost the speed of light. The object here is not to just line up a bunch of numbers, but to show that it is the mass of an object times the gravitational constant that determines the energy of a gravitational field. If the gravitational constant is lessened relative to the mass (the E factor), or the mass factor is lessened in relation to the gravitational constant, then a new c2 resultant shall be found.

Notice how the force of gravitation operates within the core of earth. It is the mass directly opposite the other side of a sphere that performs the attraction. It is impossible for a large solar mass to have an imbalance of gravitational attraction within its very core. Notice, too, that it is not the weight of the mass above the core point that compresses the mass of earth into forming a gravitational field. The greatest energy (velocity, or c2) is found within the core point. This means all mass, and everything outward beyond that mass, is drawn to that point. The mass of earth is not compacted by the force of gravitation due to the mass above it existing in that particular location. This is obvious, or the gravitational field of the sun would not attract the planets of our solar system, which masses extend so far beyond the mass of the sun. Were you to have a mass the size of Earth, and there were no internal heat energy within that mass (the gravitational constant), then that mass would have no gravitational field, or c2 value. c2 is the agent performing the work within the mass, not the mass within the c2, although it takes both of them to form c2 = E/m (a field of gravitation).

Now for some observations concerning the possibility of a “black hole” existing, and a conclusion to the matter.
A “black hole” could not form within a large spherical mass, for a large accelerating mass moving to the speed of light within an inner void, such as exists within our sun or our own planet, would convert into electromagnetic energy and destroy that host mass containing it. To illustrate this force of acceleration, consider that the sun has a time difference of 13,903.87 years, absolute physical time, between its core point and surface. This means that were you to have the energy within the core point of the sun, in form of velocity applied to your body, you would be totally non-existent in any form whatsoever for 13,903.87 years - taking by supposition that you could ever slow down incrementally by the value of c. (Does not the physical nature of this core point force have all the attributes of a time-distorting, mass-sucking “black hole”? But notice that the nature of such a force is not to form a new mass within the core point area, but convert a once mass to its lowest possible value, that of a field of time, or gravitation). The reason this great amount of energy, also known to us as power or time, can exist within the core point of the sun is that the force of gravity is a velocity frequency (time) that has no mass value at all while passing through that point and beyond it. (This is because, in essence, gravitons are one third of one dimension. For it appears the magnetic, electric and time wave may all be the same wave evidenced in different manners). But a mass cannot exist within a 400 mile distance from the very core point of our sun without accelerating to the speed of light, thus converting into one-dimensional energy. So no mass of any kind could ever reach near a center point anywhere in any of our large solar bodies in order to begin forming a “black hole”. Were a very large portion of mass to move past this 400-mile point within our sun that mass would explode, for (m) would instantly convert to (E) moving at (c). Were black holes able to exist they would already be existent within the planets about the sun and most especially within the sun itself. But they do not exist for they cannot exist.

It had been thought in the past that, perhaps, the gravitational field of the sun fueled its continual output of energy somehow. There is evidence that mass moving inward would be converted into pure energy because electromagnetic energy converting from mass would all be headed directly toward the core point of the sun. There it would have to pass through that core spot maximizing the conversion of mass into energy. This energy in turn would compress the mass of the sun, which compression would release energy to heat the solar system. (In 1854 Hermann Von Helmholtz, a German physicist, determined that were our sun to contract one ten-thousandth of its radius, it would then provide a 2,000 year supply of energy to earth. "Asimov’s Guide to Science", Basic Books, 1960, p.45).

The following is how the E, m, and c2 concept works in a back and forth manner in the approximate conversion of one kilogram (2.205 lbs.) of mass into energy expressed in Joules:

(E)=mc2; (1 kg. times 2.9979 x 10 8 times 2.9979 x 10 8) = 8.9874 x 10 16 Joules.

(m)=E/c2; (8.9874 x 10 16 Joules divided by “c2” 2.9979 x 10 8 times 2.9979 x 10 8) = 1 kg.

(c2)=E/m; (8.9874 x 10 16 Joules divided by 1 kg.) = “c2” or 2.9979 x 10 8 times 2.997 x 10 8.

Energy and the speed of light squared are the same entity, just evidenced differently. c2 is expressed as power or work done in a particular amount of time. Energy is expressed in quantity, or how much potential exists, but both are the same. Just as in the core point of earth there is a mass that exists in potential as found when multiplying the gravitational constant of 6.6732 x 10 -11 times earth’s mass of 5.98 x 10 24 kg. which equals 3.9905736 x 10 14. This number is the total time velocity passing through the core point. This number divided by c2 is equal to a potential mass of 0.00444 kg.. Then, as we have seen earlier, this same core point velocity may also be considered as 15.4 days physical time. It’s all the same.

Theoretically, it has been thought that mass and electromagnetic energy could be channeled into a black hole and there remain as a mass in an altogether different time state. But it does not appear as though a black hole could form in this manner due to the formation of light being that of waves of time. This concept does demonstrate, though, that our universe must have been created instantly. (In order for time to exist as mass, all the mass must have been created in the duration of the existence of time itself. It also demonstrates that the physical time of our universe is actually one-dimensional and ceases to exist at time of a person's death). Mass accelerating to the speed of light within a "black hole" would vanish and the gravitational effect of the original mass would lose that much of its new attracting potential. It’s all balanced. After the mass-energy value reaches a certain point it won’t go any further, just as electrons don’t let heat energy, or frequency, compound within a mass so that the nucleus converts into electromagnetic energy as happens to electrons. It doesn’t appear as though scientists will ever find the missing ninety percent mass of the universe. And if a black hole cannot exist (for whether the accelerating mass were that of a neutron star or a mass as our sun, it would still convert into energy) then there could have been no “Big Bang”. That hypothetical, "all-everything" mass could not have formed (as God said it did not, because the heavenly host were created on the fourth day of creation). And that isn’t even the worst of the problem. The real problem is: how could time be formed into three dimensions, thus becoming electromagnetic energy? Then, who formed the electromagnetic energy into three-dimensional mass? Where did this all come from, and who was able to bond these infinitely small, non-tangible, high-speed waves together? I know. God created it that way.

“To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? Saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth. …Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard, that the Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. Isaiah 40:25, 26 and 28.

Fallen leaves (Response to written article)
Spirited away (Response to Reader’s Digest article)

It seems as though a person ought to respond to this. The doctor who had written this dealt in the area of near death experiences of children. The child first spoken of was thought to be dead, but she revived and recounted what had happened in the operating room, the procedures, and described the doctors present – even though she was comatose. The reason I would like to recount this story is due to the doctor’s remark at the end of the story, which was “But I am deliberately holding back from dealing with it (the spiritual aspect of what he had been speaking of) because I know that once I cross that line, I’m no longer a scientist.”

It is interesting how the concept of “scientist” has changed. This doctor felt because he would not include God into his work, that decision made what he had done scientific. If he had included the spiritual concept in his work, it would not have been scientific. Does this appear as a programmed mental block? Were Newton and Einstein scientists or not? Because they believed in God, does that mean that in another twenty years they will have been rewritten out of history as being scientists and placed in the “religious” category?

People seeking to rewrite history, and the meaning of words, seem to think themselves as minor (g)ods. Before they seek to change reality, perhaps they could try the following:

Create something from nothing.
Think a thought that has nothing to do with the values of this world.
Or, easier yet, and open to more inspection – tell where the stock market will be at the end of the month.

Like leaves that fall from the tree and land upon the ground, so our days and lives disappear into the past. Each leaf is separate and experiences its own reality, and each vanishes away from view of others, to be left to its own fate. When left alone to your fate, what then? Will you be pleased that you have influenced others to become like yourself, so that when they approach the same situation as you, they will be glad? In the end moment the only thing important will be the spiritual. Everything else will be left behind, and there will be no one to know and share your fate but yourself. Don’t “write off” as nonsense that which “is evidenced” in our world but not seen.

How quickly time flies

How quickly time flies
How long time lasts

Physical time is of interest to all of us. We have seen others who have run out of it long before they, or anyone else expected them to, and we realize it can happen to us. I would like to present a short thought on what it is, and when it runs out, what it is that a person no longer is part of.

Physical time is a velocity. It is a universal speed of energy that is common to all physical entities in our universe. The composition of this energy is two waves that run together, mutually supporting each other. These waves form the smallest unit of mass known to us - the electron. The smallest value of physical time relates to the electron and is known as the “chronon“. Because of its tiny displacement in space, the smallest physical value of time is thought to be the diameter of this mass. I would add that the smallest value of physical time might be considered to be that of a completed individual wave of the electron.

As the chronon is the smallest value of physical mass, the aggregate of this mass becomes the basis of all other physical, dimensional entities that are not directly waveform. Were the electron, and our universe that is composed of this value, to be converted into the radiation from which everything is formed, it would be found that all existence would be that of electromagnetic energy. The ultimate physical time value that we exist in is this fractional amount, and the chronon concept is how quickly we are able to remove from this world. We have all the time we need to exist in our universe, but no more than that.

God says that our spirit lives on forever. This is the enduring value that keeps physical time, to us, as a continuum. One thing that each of us cannot escape is ourselves - we always return to ourselves and what we have become. Everything else is instantly left behind (no time to blink) when the spirit (the real us) leaves the body.

When we ASPIRE (story)

2006-01-24T12:22:00.000-06:00

Aspire

The greatest aspiration of any person, or people, is to perform the will of God.

Long ago a very strange event happened on a very large island called, "Otai", meaning Orchid Land, so named because of an abundance of the many colored, beautiful orchids growing there. On this large island a young man called Taika, and his lovely sister Laitai, played most of their time away along the cliffs of a natural lagoon. The blue water was very deep at the entrance, and warmed during the day due to the spreading shallow waters surrounding it. Because of the fair weather continually blessing their island world, life was very carefree and undemanding. Parents and children rose up in the morning according as their demand of sleep required. There was no need to hurry to finish a particular chore, for one day, one month, or one year were all much the same, one after another. What was not done one day would probably be done on another, and if not then, it was generally felt the job may not have been worth doing in the first place. There was no need to gather food other than from off the trees which bore both blossoms and fruit the year around. The inhabitants also enjoyed the rich bounties of the ocean, whose coffers of diversity surrounded them, offering the dwellers an abundance of pleasing diversified food.

At times fierce storms passed over the island, whipping the trees back and forth, smashing apart boats not pulled far upon the beach to where the trees were, and blowing apart those huts made of too flimsy thatch construction to withstand the winds. There was generally one fierce storm every few years, so the people stored dried food and wood in large natural caves found in the mountain further back of their village, just to ensure their comfort when this happened. They would stay in the caves until the passing gale had finished doing its damage, then would return to rebuild what had been destroyed.

Because there was nothing to do of particular interest within the confines of a cave, the people, amidst the howling winds and breaking distant surf, would gather around a warming fire and tell stories. They told old stories, newly made up stories, true stories and make‑believe stories. But one thing they never, never did was to say that a make‑believe story was a true story. The people of Orchid Island loved make‑believe stories, but they loved knowing the truth about their world even more. So ingrained was their desire to know and practice only that which was true, a person who would willfully lie was despised and shunned by everyone, this being what they had been taught generation after generation. Liars, in their true stories, were spoken of as being foolish people who often destroyed their own families and themselves even though they knew they were doing it. The liars and their friends, if they had any, would always disappear into the night and never be seen again, or they would come to a sudden catastrophic end. In the minds of the people this was the only right and good thing to happen.

It was after one of these fierce storms had passed the Island of Orchid, and the people had come out of the caves, that they found a strange boat cast far upon their beach near the trees. Because of its great size and how it was shaped, it immediately attracted the attention of all. The men of the island, led by their Chief, began a search of the craft for its owner. It took but a few minutes to determine that it was an abandoned vessel. So the men began to strip the craft of whatever they wished. Large sections of torn canvas were being removed from the mast by the women while the men began carrying away the cargo of cork, wondering at the lightness of it, trying to determine what it could be used for. Before long all that remained was to finish the last of the unloading, for everything else had been removed.

It was during the last of this operation that a lone survivor was found. After he had been pulled out from the dark interior of the cargo hold and laid down in the bright sunlight, the natives found him to be a strangely dressed young man of about Taika's or Laitai's age ‑ the fifteen year old children of the island Chief. The natives who had seen white hair appear on their own aged people wondered if the young man's blond hair was a sign of age or if it was a natural color of a strange people, for they had no stories about people with yellow hair. They were to be just as interested later when he awoke and they found he had blue eyes.

There were Orchid Island stories about people living in other lands, but they were spoken of as being perhaps true and perhaps not true ‑ the people just did not know. The presence of the newly arrived young man, along with the strange craft and cargo, had just shifted all their stories of other people into the category of being the truth.

It was a long while before the young man opened his eyes and realized he was no longer on a tossing boat in the midst of a world of raging wind and driven sea foam, but lying on the still, white sands of a strange beach with a lovely young girl and older woman beside him. They were shielding his face from the hot tropical sun with large palm leaves. Laitai, by her gestures caused the newly awakened young man to know he was in their care and he should go with them. It had been decided that the stranger would stay with the chief and his family until he could learn their language. Then they would learn about his people and the strange craft that had bought him to their land.

Days followed days and became numberless very quickly. There were no major weather changes of note, so there were no seasons by which to keep track of years. On Orchid Island time mattered not, for there was no need to know anything but the present. In the passing of daily events, the inhabitants learned the young man called himself Erin ‑ Erin Waterford. And Erin in return learned the names of the people of the village and learned the rudiments of their language. Erin became very popular among the people, for around the Chief's large campfire at night he would tell them stories of things they could never have imagined, not even by stretching their wildest speculations to the limit. He told them of cities whose houses were so strong the most powerful wind could not blow them apart. Of the city where he lived whose tall stone church had a clock in it that would tell people the time of day whether it was cloudy or not, and during different times of the day music came from it. Then he spoke of other lands and other oceans, of people and their customs, and of the many different kinds of animals he had seen. Most of what Erin told the people was not accepted as the truth ‑ to them he was telling make believe stories. Sometimes the people would sit quietly and smile and shake their heads at the thoughts his halting words and gestures would bring to their minds. One time when Erin tried describing the features of an elephant, with its large flapping ears, a huge body, strong legs, little tail, and a nose so long that at times it would drag on the ground, the people staggered away holding their sides, trying not to laugh any longer because it hurt so. Everyone knew it was a make believe story, but what a story! An animal that had a nose so long that it could touch the ground, indeed. And they tried to picture in their minds what they would look like if their noses were long enough to touch the ground. Then later, when Erin spoke of a gun men of his world used which spoke with a voice like thunder, and threw heavy stones with force enough to knock down a distant tree ‑ well, the people wondered at his imagination. Then there were the pieces of water he spoke of that existed far away, some larger than their own mountain. These mountains actually "floated" in the ocean. "Ice," he had explained, "was hard as a rock, crystal clear, and turned to sweet water when one held it in their hand." Of course nobody believed him. Even so, there had never been such stories as the ones Erin told, and the people loved listening to him.

Erin did not understand the customs of the people he was living with or he probably would have allowed his stories to be thought of as make believe until they could be proven true. It was while he was retelling how extremely cold water could become hard as stone, and at times even fell out of the sky in form of hail, that he made a fatal mistake. When he finished speaking, Erin used a term meaning, `my story is true`. This was a word he had recently come to understand the meaning of and used it at the end of his own story.

Prior to this time the people had just assumed Erin was telling them another interesting make- believe story in order to amuse them. He was kindly corrected at the end of his story-telling by the Chief who continually changed the word meaning "my story is true" to "my story is make believe." After Erin was corrected and told the proper word, the young man maintained what he had spoken really was the truth. Erin then used the word for make believe at the end of one of their fables and then the word for truth at the end of his own story so all would realize what he had told them was true. The Chief then listed other strange stories Erin had told previously and Erin used the word for "my story is true" at the end of each.

It seemed impossible! Those who knew Erin well could scarcely believe what they heard. His make believe stories were more strange than any they could imagine, yet he steadfastly maintained they were true. It was incredible this lovable, young stranger whom they had taken such good care of was actually a liar. It was as though one of their own tragic make believe stories they knew to be untrue had come to pass during their own lifetime, and in their very midst. There was nothing to do but wait and see what strange, evil fate would befall him. Though he could live among them, he was now regarded as being taboo‑evil.

When all the people began silently rising from their places, and left Erin alone at the fire, he then realized what he had done. He understood they considered him to be one of their proverbial foolish liars they were often warned about in their true stories. Everything he had to say from this time forward would be ignored and so would he ‑ this, their way, was already stated in their true stories as being the only correct manner to deal with a liar.

During the following months Erin was an unhappy social outcast. Those who had been his friends shunned him as much as possible and refused to engage in any type of conversation. Whatever the people were doing he was not welcome to join in. When at first he tried joining others at their evening fires, everyone stopped what they were saying and doing and left, saying nothing to him. It wasn't long and Erin didn't attempt to speak with the people again, but stayed away. He also moved out of the Chief's house and moved into the boat he had come to the island in. It became his home even though it lay tilted on its side far up on the beach.

From the time Erin moved out of the Chief's house onward, his one ambition was to launch his boat and leave Orchid Island. Day by day he cut down trees and buried them end to end deep in the sand till he had formed two rails of trees leading to the waters edge. On these he would lay logs crosswise to serve as rollers to move his heavy craft back into the water once he had it caulked tightly with coconut fiber. Then he would make any type of sail possible, store provisions aboard, and sail away. It was the thought of eventual escape that drove him to work day after day, from sunrise to sunset. Little time was set aside to do anything else but work, gather fruit to eat and dry, or to catch fish and gather oysters from the ocean to steam in his fire pit at night.

On rare occasion, when he grew weary of work, Erin went to dive from the rock where Laitai and her brother Taika also dove. One day after working hard all morning, Erin went to this rock. Though Laitai and her brother were there, Erin said nothing, but walked to the edge and sprang outward as far as possible, was pulled speeding downward, then knifed into the deep, clear water. Climbing back to the top of the rock he was surprised Laitai and her brother were yet there. Erin said nothing as he sat on the edge of the rock, then looked out across the horizon, wishing he would see a sail.

"Erin," began Taika as he watched Erin looking out to sea, considering his once happy friend who now was obviously unhappy, "why do you tell such great lies and say the lies are true? You do not act evil, but you speak of things one cannot believe. Why do you say you speak the truth when you know what you say is not believed by anyone?"

"What if what I have spoken is the truth, Taika?" responded Erin, as he turned to face his one time friend.

"I know my people, my people know the people who were before them. We have always known what truth is. We know what you speak cannot be true." responded the young chief‑to‑be in an emphatic, authoritive manner.

Laitai had listened to others of her people as they spoke of Erin. She had been troubled for a long while about this strange young man who had come to the only world her people had ever known. He had not done evil. He had not spoken as a fool or a liar about other things of life. Even the strange craft that had brought Erin to their land might have been considered as make believe because of its great size had not her people seen it. Laitai watched Erin as he sat a short distance away, and she believed what he had told them was true.

"What of the boat Erin came in?" asked Laitai while turning to face her brother who was seated beside her. "Would you have said that was a lie also had you and the others not seen it?"

"You are a girl. This does not concern you. Beware you do not speak well of a liar lest the fate of the liar fall on you."

"I do not believe Erin has lied. I have not seen the things he has spoken of, but I believe what he has said to be true."

"Beware sister. Though you are the daughter of the Chief, you cannot turn your face toward Erin without the anger of the people being against you."

It was true. Laitai knew if she were to admit that she believed what Erin had said was true she would become an outcast as was he. Being daughter to the Chief would not spare her the sorrow that would be hers. Laitai looked into the waters below. She recalled the times Erin had told her in his own language something of his affection for her, but she did not know what those words meant. She did know that she somehow loved Erin more than anything else in the world.

Laitai did not know what to do. Could she leave her family and home as an outcast for one whom she did not even know if he loved her or not? What would it be like to have her friends turn their backs and refuse to speak? How could she bear to live being thought of as a fool and liar, as she knew would happen?

The true stories she had listened to many times had taught her to be faithful to that which she knew to be right. Laitai had lived her life doing what she believed to be correct. Her desire to continue on, living in truth rested strongly within her heart. She was the daughter of the Chief and she would do what was true.

Rising from beside her brother, Laitai moved to where Erin sat a short distance away. Erin had no idea what it was costing Laitai to move from beside her brother and sit beside himself. It was obvious Taika did not like what she had done, for he became very angry, speaking harshly to her, telling her she was a fool. Laitai said nothing while looking into the waters below.

"I shall not speak of what you have done. It shall be known of itself. You cannot hide fire in your hand," finished Taika as he jumped to his feet and stalked off toward the village.

"Laitai," began Erin while watching the lovely young girl who was now facing him, "making your brother angry is not good. The boat I came to your land in is almost finished and so are the logs I have been working on to move it back to the sea. I am going leave soon as possible."

A power greater than herself kept Laitai where she was. The terrible flooding thought that Erin would leave her behind when he returned to his own world paralyzed her as she sat unmoving. The possibility of giving herself to the one she loved and then being rejected by him, her family, and friends too, was overwhelming. As intense as the fear was, it was instantly replaced by peace and confidence of greater power. She had made the correct choice. Something within told her Erin would remain and they would be protected.

"Let's swim before the storm comes," said Laitai pointing to the dark horizon as she quickly rose up, a happiness she had not known before flooding her heart.

Erin was amazed at the turn of events. The one he had missed most in the past months was the very one who was now intently watching him through lovely, large dark eyes, waiting to see what he wished to do. Erin loved the frank openness of her gentle but firm feminine ways. Although Laitai formed her own thoughts, she would yield them to Erin if he asked her to.

Laitai was the girl Erin wished to have for his wife. He had told her, using his own language, that he loved her, but he was not sure if she had understood, and he did not know the word in her language to tell her so. But were he to marry Laitai, which thing her parents would not now allow, it would only cause her grief, for she would become an outcast as was he. Erin did not understand she had already chosen to share in his sufferings.

Laitai moved off as though she were really going to the village instead of diving into the water, but instead of going on she quickly turned and pushed hard against Erin's shoulders, trying to push him over the edge of the rock. Instantly bracing himself with his bare feet, Erin turned and grabbed Laitai by the wrist and held on tight. Her smile and light laugh spoke of the affection she had for him as she saw the pleased look on his face at catching her. Laitai knew she could not get away from him, so she ran a few steps forward and leaped into empty space. Erin being pulled outward by her falling weight willingly followed and they entered the waters together.

Soon, the once distant clouds that had appeared as a dark line across the horizon were upon them, covering the usually clear blue skies with their blackness faster than a storm normally would. By the time Laitai and Erin were back on top of the rock after their swim, gusts of cool wind were sweeping across the land rattling the stiff palm leaves one against another.

"We must go!" said Laitai while pulling on Erin's hand when she noticed the bright sunlit afternoon suddenly turn dark. Wisps of white clouds were scudding along beneath an approaching green‑black mass, whose high, tumbling bulk brought to mind visions of a gigantic mountain about to cascade down upon them. Erin, who had been totally engrossed with Laitai knew the cloud sign of the impending storm too. Glancing at the swiftly moving clouds above, he immediately began running with Laitai toward the cave in the mountain where the Chief and his family stayed during a storm. His thought at first was to go to his boat and stay with it, but Laitai was not letting go of him.

By the time Erin and Laitai reached the Chief's hut most of the villagers had already headed for the caves. The wind now came in strong gusts that whipped the tall palm trees about as though they were toys. Drops of horizontal driven rain mixed with blown sand stung Erin and Laitai as they ran, then as they neared the refuge of the cave the drops became a torrent. The gusting gale pushed the two from behind with such force the only effort needed on their part was to keep upright and dodge large branches, palm leaves, and disintegrating huts which parts blew about them.

The wind and horizontally driven elements assailed the large entrance of the cave and was soaking everything not being held off the floor. Silhouettes and unrecognizable shapes moved slowly in the darkness that had descended upon them. People talked excitedly about the ferocity and the direction this unusual storm had come from. Never before had such rain been blown into their cave. They had always been able to build a fire near the cave entrance, but this day there would be none built. Even the floor of the cave was covered with water that came half‑way to ones knees. Long, large pieces of carelessly left firewood at the entrance had become lodged in the rocks and restricted much of the water blown inside from leaving, and now even their supply of fuel might not be able to be used because of being soaked.

When it was known everyone was safe within their cave, the men began sealing off the entrance so the rain would no longer blow inside. When this had been done the cave quickly drained of water, but still it was very dark and they had no way to start a fire as of yet. The remainder of that day and night was spent by the occupants staying close together for warmth, and listening to oft-repeated stories. This time the stories were mostly about bravery.

The following day the men, by much perseverance, got a small fire going. The hard won flame had to remain smaller than usual for there was no place for the smoke to go so it had to dissipate in the air of the large cave. But it did offer a little heat to drive out the dampness and all could see the familiar, friendly flame that cast shadows about the rough rocky walls.

It was the luminous flame moving above the modest fuel supply that revealed Erin and Laitai asleep at the far end of the cave. Their backs rested against the stone wall and there was but a single sleeping mat about their shoulders for warmth. The two blissfully reposed side by side, neither aware of the voices about them expressing surprise, and for Laitai sorrow and concern for her obviously having befriended a known liar. Laika, upon seeing the two, exclaimed that he had warned Laitai her decision the day before would be known. Then he told his father of the choice she had made at the bay to befriend Erin, and that she had risen from beside himself and gone to sit beside him. There was nothing the Chief could do to help his daughter. The fate that would befall her could not be changed. Still, while sitting with the solitude of his thoughts, he mused how he might help Laitai even though it would surely bring sorrow to himself also.

Storms had expressed their powerful fury and then passed away from their land generation after generation, but never had one ended more suddenly than this one. For two days there had been a constant, steady, shrieking of the wind accompanied with the drum of torrential rain. It was the sudden, absolute absence of this ever-present din that awoke everyone the third night. The booming silence was deafening in contrast to the screeching wind, that had existed just a few moments before. After someone spoke in a low whisper, another spoke a little louder, then another spoke also, and soon everyone was happily speaking of the amazing end of the strange storm. The men quickly took away the protective cover from the opening to the cave exposing to their view a radiant, soft‑white lit world before them.

From the entrance of the cave, far as the eye could see out across the vast expanse of ocean, the white topped, rolling waves were being touched by the jeweled hand of a brilliant full moon, inducing the waves to glisten and sparkle like mountains of moving jewels. These waves, as they moved toward the sandy beach to the left of the rock ringed bay, made a continuous muffled, rumbling roar.

When Erin stepped out into the cool night he, too, was amazed at the shimmering wet world of silver luster. Water covered the surface of everything and everything reflected the soft glow of the moon. People standing about and in front of Erin began moving downward to see what was left of their village, and room was made for him to see more clearly. Below and far to his left, the white beach had the look of a terra‑lunar world due to its uniform soft white coloring that matched everything else of the world about them. Across that same stretch of sand there were no longer twin black rails running from where his boat lay near the palm trees far from the waters edge. It was as though they had never existed. The pounding surf had dug them out of the sand and carried them away. Erin was back to where he had begun. He reflected on the labor represented by the lost logs so carefully cut and laid out, and how long it would take to remake them. The thought of extending his time amongst those who thought him a contemptible fool and liar disheartened him greatly.

Then his attention was drawn to the fact that more important than his leaving Orchid Island at the moment was the impending danger this lull in the storm might mean to these people. Erin was positive, because of the manner in which the wind had suddenly stopped, they were now in the eye of a passing hurricane. He could see majestic, towering, vertical, banks of clouds where now there should have been a cloudless sky. In a short while the storm would return again, but this time the winds would come from the opposite direction. Erin realized this was probably the first time a hurricane had ever passed directly over their island or the people would have known how quickly it could return. Most were already carrying their few possessions down the steep trail, believing the storm had completely passed.

"Laitai, the people must not leave yet,” said Erin earnestly as he turned and looked at his lovely friend standing close beside him.

"What is wrong?" she asked, perplexed.

"The storm is coming back! We are in the center of the storm where the winds do not blow now, but they shall quickly return!"

"How do you know, Erin?"

"Looking at Laitai, Erin realized how little these people knew of the world beyond their island and their stories. They needed someone to tell them of the world beyond their own. If they did not believe him to be an absolute liar he would be happy to help them, but there was no way to persuade them he was not a liar.

"Do you trust me, Laitai?"

"Yes, Love," and she used a word in her language meaning "one heart". This word Erin had not learned yet, but now sensed the meaning of. Unknowingly when asking Laitai if she trusted him, he had used a word meaning "to trust her life with" which was the reason Laitai answered as she did.

"Wait, Wait!" shouted Erin to the people as they headed downward. "The wind and rain are going to return from over the hills! You won't be able to come back to the cave! Look at the clouds!"

Some did look upward but they seemed to focus only on the large, bright moon. What if there were clouds? The storm had passed. That was all that mattered. No one really wanted to listen to the words of Erin anyway.

There was total silence for a moment after the words of Erin had ended, partly because of what he had said, and partly because they did not expect him to address them at all. And then it had been a strange storm, perhaps ... Then someone laughed from below. That touch of mirth sprang up as a wave of rebuke, troubling both Laitai and Erin. Even those standing nearby laughed at his words. Laitai alone stood with him, silent and pensive. As her friends moved past it was in such manner as to make it plain they did not wish to have anything to do with either of them. They had heard when Laitai told Erin she was one heart with himself ‑ they knew what that meant more fully than did Erin. The words swirling about Erin and Laitai as they stood apart from those descending was that of liar and fool. Laitai had severed the bonds of trust between her own friends and people. They would regard her as they did Erin. There was no turning back. In the eyes of her people she and Erin were of one heart.

"Tomorrow," thought Erin at that moment, "tomorrow I am going to ask if I may marry Laitai." However he had no idea if her father would speak to either of them now.

"Laitai, I love you," said Erin in his own language, then he said the same in her language using the same word she had used when answering him. He had guessed correctly. Laitai moved into the circle of his arms and melted thankfully against him. She would have no other friend now than Erin.

"Boom!" came the explosion of a cannon from the entrance of the bay below and far off to the right of where Erin and Laitai stood. A brilliant flash of orange flame accompanied by a ball of expanding, rolling black smoke leaped from the side of a large three-masted ship just having fully entered the protection of the high rock wall surrounding that body of water. The villagers who were yet above the level of the tops of the trees clearly saw the three swaying masts with limp, rag‑like sails hanging from the yardarms. It was a craft similar in shape to the one Erin had come to Orchid Island in, but was much, much larger, and it had spoken with a voice like thunder just as Erin said they could. Then, while all eyes were transfixed on the scene before them, a torrent of wind-whipped rain came sweeping over the mountain, burying every living thing from the presence of all but itself.

That blast of wind and weight of water was so great Erin and Laitai were almost swept over the ledge in front of the cave. Falling to the ground and crawling on their hands and knees the two young people forced their way back into the cave. The wind was sucking past the opening with such force it made a deep whooshing sound as it hastened about its seeming singular objective ‑ that of keeping people from returning.

Once inside, Laitai began placing wood on the smoldering flame while Erin returned back to the edge of the ledge where the trail led downward. He waited till he felt a hand groping about the narrow trail as a person sought the safety of the cave, then he pulled them upward over the edge and shoved them in the right direction. It was impossible to see or speak to those who returned. The world outside the refuge of the cave consisted only of driven, beating, stinging cold rain, and brown flowing water coming down the side of the mountain. Soon there were no more hands or arms groping about the narrow trail and Erin also turned and crawled back to the cave.

Half of the people had not returned. Those who had gone the furthest distance from the cave had no choice but to find shelter wherever they could. Though they would be safe and mostly dry amongst the outcropping rocks and boulders below, they would still become very cold before the storm had passed.

This time while the people waited in the cave there was a larger warming fire near the entrance, for the gale force winds got rid of the smoke immediately. Also, Erin was made to sit by the obviously happy Chief; happy his daughter was not a friend to a liar and fool. He was the first to thank Erin for helping the people and his wife and self back to the cave. Then the Chief began telling a story about the birds and the fish.

"When our land was first made, even before man came to live, no one knew who was to live here. Because this land was so beautiful the birds wanted this place, but so did the fish. The fish wanted the land not so they could live on it but because they were more in number. Because they filled the sea, it was felt they should also control the land. The birds gathered around the shore of our island and began contesting with the multitudes of fish that had come to dispute the matter. The birds said the fish had nothing to do with land and they should leave the birds alone. The fish, who before this time could stick their heads out of the water to both speak and hear, said the land was in their water so it belonged to them. They also reminded the birds that there were multitudes more of them than birds.

No matter what the birds said, the fish always replied that the land was theirs. Finally the birds stopped speaking and started building their nests. But the fish did not leave them alone. They were so many more in number that when they began screaming their loudest the noise made the birds want to leave. Night and day the fish kept it up until the birds were forced to find some other place to live.

But the shouting and screaming of the fish also bought The One Who Judges. When he heard what the fish had done to the birds, he told the fish to be silent ‑ and they were. Then he told all the birds to return at once, and they did. Standing on top of this mountain he told the fish there was enough water in the ocean for all of the fish. The waters were very wide and very deep. The world of land was small and shallow and not made for them. Why had they tried to destroy the happiness of those who sought to live there?

The fish made no reply, for they knew the truth had been spoken and they would not speak against the truth or they would become a liar waiting for destruction. So, although the fish had been shouting and screaming a short time ago for the possession of the island, there was not a single sound made by any of them.

"You shall not be able to hear in this land again, and your voices shall not be heard in this land again!" said The One Who Judges, and he left them.

"Fish all about our land began bobbing their heads up and down in the water as though trying to speak a protest, but not a sound was heard from them. For a long while the fish tried to speak, hoping they would be allowed to speak once again and to listen to the sounds of the world where the birds lived. Although they did not admit it, the fish liked to listen to the songs the birds sang, which were clear and melodious. But The One Who Judges had left and would not return unless he desired. There was nothing the fish could do. They could no longer hear the birds sing and they could no longer speak, so each went to his own place in the ocean. The birds still sing and live in our land, and the fish are still silent because of their evil way."

The Chief looked at those about the fire as he finished the story. "We have been as the fish! Erin has come from a land unlike our own and we would not let him speak the truth. We have acted as the fish. Now it is for Erin to speak and for us to listen lest The One who Judges comes and does to us as he did to the fish."

Because of the rapid, strange turn of events, Erin was speechless. He didn't know what to say, for there were no thoughts in his mind. Everything went blank because of amazement. Still, he was happy of heart. Even though these people had treated him as an enemy, they had done so according to that which they had been taught.

It was while focusing his thoughts upon what he should say that it began to hail. Large pieces of hail the size of large marbles splattered in the water outside the entrance of the cave, some bounced off rocks and a few bounced far enough inside the entrance they were picked up the young people. They were incredibly cold little rocks and melted faster than a jellyfish in the sun. When those who held one found it turned into a little pool of sweet water they immediately shouted for those about the fire to come and see the amazing sight. Because of the unrestrained excitement of the young people, the adults crowded near the entrance so they could see too.

"Look! Look!" said Erin as he grabbed up pieces of the hail. "This is the sweet water I said a person could pick up. This is ice!"

The people were thunderstruck! They could hardly believe what they were seeing. Hard, round pieces of white rock mixed with the rain were falling from the sky, and were bouncing all about the entrance of the cave. There were thousands of these never before seen pieces of ice right in front of them, and unlike the salty water of the ocean, they were sweet and incredibly cold. "Oh," thought the people as they watched the marvel, "Erin is a great teacher and serves the Great God, The One Who Judges. We had best not be like the fish. We had better listen to what he says!"

As quickly as the hail had come it left. One instant it was bouncing about the rocks and the next it was replaced once again by just the pouring rain. Soon all the ice melted, leaving nothing behind to mark its existence other than vanishing pools of water, and a memory that would soon be recounted in a true story to those seated about the village fire.

Once again the people seated themselves about the fire. This time, as a place was made for Erin beside the Chief, Erin asked if Laitai could sit next to him. If the Chief said, "Yes" then she would become his wife, for only the wife or wife‑to‑be could sit about the fire with her husband. Those not married and the children sat behind. It was how they had been taught.

"Laitai," called the Chief to his lovely daughter of whom he was now so proud, Erin has asked that you sit between us. Come and do as you have been asked."

Laitai stood and moved from where she had been seated near the entrance of the cave and sat between her father and Erin. All present knew Laitai was to be the wife of Erin, and that their Chief approved of this and was proud of his daughter who had stood alone for the truth as a Chief’s daughter should. After Laitai was seated, Erin spoke for a long while of big ships, of storms and the One who makes them.

It was late that night before Erin felt he could sleep due to the excitement of the day. Laitai, still sitting next to him, was quietly discussing with her mother where their house should be built, for it would be when Erin had a house built for her that he would be asked to sit between Laitai and her father before the village fire. When he sat between Laitai and her father she would then become his own "Lady Of Orchid," for such was the meaning of her name.

There was a great deal of excitement among the people as the winds subsided a little in the early evening of the next day. They had been cooped up in the cave for a long while and now wished to leave. They were also anxious to know how their friends below had withstood the storm. Some of the people asked Erin if he was going to leave on the mysterious ship, to which he replied, "No, Laitai and I are going to stay here." After he had repeated this a few times, a confidence grew among the people that they could depend on Erin to stay. All were thankful Erin loved Laitai and he was going to remain, and were proud of Laitai who had stood trustfully with him. An unknown world was suddenly opening before them and after seeing the strange ship and hearing the sound of a cannon for the first time, they had no idea what strange wonders and dangers it would hold. They needed someone they could trust to explain what was happening, and looked to Erin to do that.

Just before dawn Erin crept from the cave. He was going to find out what kind of ship it was that had entered into the bay. As he stood on the ledge outside the cave entrance, before he started down the path leading toward the bay, he noted the dark rising masts above the distant rocks, but the ship itself, or any of the crew, could not be seen. It was with hopeful and yet fearful heart he descended the pathway leading into the waiting growth of trees, and then to the ship. Once Erin reached the large rocks surrounding the bay, he climbed to the top of the tallest of them and lay flat atop it so he could not be seen. Moving cautiously to its edge he looked down and saw for the first time, in the dawn's faint early light, the entire ship. It had thirty‑two guns and its name was " Dolphin". There was not a soul to be seen moving about, but he could hear someone whistling softly. Soon the sky brightened and the early morning sun began to appear, tinges of orange and yellow streaked across the horizon and Erin faithfully watched the ship for a distinct clue as to the kind of men who sailed it.

"Why do you watch?" came the quiet words from behind Erin. The Chief had crept noiselessly and crouched down just behind him and was looking at the ship also. Erin, had been so intent on his mission he had not heard approach of Laitai's father.

"I need to know what kind of men it is who live on the big ship," replied Erin quietly. "Evil men kill. Good men are our friends. I do not know if these men are good or evil."

Erin was thankful the Chief was with him. He believed the Chief would know what to do if it turned out the men aboard the well-armed ship were pirates. But the Chief was thinking that he was thankful his new son-to-be was with him to take charge of the situation. These were men of his world and he was certain Erin would know what to do no matter what happened.

As the early morning streaks of dawn became silver white beams of sunlight spreading over the top of the masts of the ship, the one who had been whistling stepped out from the Captain's cabin onto the deck. Glancing quickly about the ship, the white haired, white bearded man dropped to one knee right there and bowed his head in silent prayer. Erin relaxed and gave a sigh of relief. The Captain of the ship was a man who trusted God. When the captain arose, he began whistling softly once more.

"Hello!" shouted Erin as he rose in plain view of the Captain and waved his arm so he would be seen right away.

"Beat to quarters!" roared the Captain, and he rang the ship's bell hard as possible. "Beat to quarters!" he shouted again. And the men of the ship came tumbling out of the forward and aft hatches armed with their muskets and cutlasses.

"Stand by to repel boarders! Stand by to sever mooring lines!" continued the Captain while glancing about the tops of the rocks, trying to determine how many invaders there might be, and from what quarter the attack would come.

"Captain," shouted Erin, "I am loyal to the King to whom you just recently prayed."

The Captain paused a second amongst all the confusion, then said, "Come aboard alone and identify yourself."

Happy as could be, Erin told the Chief that everything would be fine, and that he should wait where he was until Erin called for him. Running along the rim of the rocks, then jumping downward and following a series of sloping ledges to where the ship was tied, Erin stepped on the railing, then jumped lightly on to the deck.

"Erin Waterford, sir," he stated to the officer in command of the ship.

"Captain Jake Jacobson, of His Majesties' ship Dolphin," replied the officer, carefully looking at the young man standing before him "How is it you are upon this island, young man?" asked the Captain.

"I was shipwrecked, but things have gone well. The people are friendly and I like it here, sir." And briefly Erin told the Captain of his sea adventure and of being cast upon this island.

"I'm glad we both landed at a friendly port. A person can never tell what the natives of an island will do." responded the Captain after listening to Erin's story.

"The Chief of the island is up there on the rock where you saw me," replied Erin to the Captains statement as he pointed to the Chief who was standing in plain view, watching what was happening.

"Bid him come aboard," said the Captain, as he noted the Chief carried no weapon. Erin called the Chief and he, too, followed the same trail downward, stepped on the rail and dropped to the deck, where Erin introduced him to the Captain.

"Lieutenant Price," said the Captain after introductions had been made, "fetch my silver inlaid knife for the Chief."

"Aye, sir." replied the lieutenant, and he turned and headed for the Captain's cabin. In a moment he returned with the knife. It was the perfect gift. The Chief in the typical manner of his people smiled broadly when Erin told him it now belonged to him as a present from the Captain of the ship. The Chief, who was standing by the railing, sliced off a small piece of the hard wood, and was pleased how sharp the knife was, and how well it cut tough wood.

Erin reached out his hand to stop the Chief, but the Captain said, "Leave be, lad. It'll give the ship's carpenter something to do on the way home if he has a section of railing to replace."

"Lad," continued the Captain as he considered Erin, "I'm wondering why it is we've both been brought to this island. I've been through seas as bad as the one we just had, but I never commanded a ship where I felt I had been shoved into a port by the hand of God before. There was no possible way we could have sailed into this bay and miss the rocks on either side of the entrance had we not been piloted by God Himself. Our sails were shredded and there was but little answer to the helm. To the man of us we were resigned to certain death when we heard the surf breaking against the rocks. But when we saw we had been blown into this deep lagoon, and at the same instant the moon suddenly came out, I knew God Himself had brought us here, and so ordered the gunner to fire a salute of thanksgiving. You must be the reason we've been ordered here by the Almighty, so what is it we are to do for you?"

"I did ask God for help, Captain, but I didn't know it was going to come all at once!" responded Erin. He then told the Captain about the problems he had experienced and how help seemed to come all at once. "Everything has suddenly been heaped upon me for good. The people of the island trust me now and I would like to remain as a missionary."

"A fine calling, son. A fine calling," said the Captain with enthusiasm.

"Hey, hey!” shouted the chief to some men looking down from the top of the rocks. He lifted his knife high in the air so all could see it, and told them what it was.

As the Chief spoke the men began moving toward where the ship was tied. They then jumped aboard as though invited to see the knife their Chief had been given. Those above who had not yet jumped down, shouted and gestured to others still coming from the direction of the village and caves to hurry and see the big ship, and then they headed downward toward the ship too. They were all very excited about the amazing ship that had arrived from Erin's world.

"Lad," said the Captain, as he saw what was happening, 'tell the men they can't come aboard. This is His Majesties ship and order shall be maintained!"

Erin saw the problem too. People were jumping aboard and the Captain didn't know what to do. He didn't want to offend these people, yet he had to control what was happening to his ship.

"If you'll fire one of your cannon at that boulder over at the mouth of the lagoon you'll have no more trouble with them wanting to come aboard, sir." said Erin as he recognized an effective way to solve the problem.

"Gunner, open gun port six," ordered the Captain so loudly all the native people stopped their excited chatter to learn what it was about. "Take aim at the base of the large rock by the side of the channel," he finished.

"Please don't shoot just yet, sir. This is going to drive these people wild if I don't explain what is going to happen."

And Erin began shouting for them to leave the ship because it was going to speak with thunder, and they would not like it. Though they did not understand what was happening, they did know this was a ship from Erin's world and he did know. Immediately they all began leaving the ship and scrambling toward the top of the rocks in order to do as Erin said, and to witness the strange sight.

After explaining to the people what was going to happen, and for them to watch the large rock on the other side of the bay, Erin shouted, "Fire when ready, Captain!"

"Fire!" shouted the Captain, and immediately the cannons deep roar of a thirty-two pounder erupted from the side of the ship, accompanied by a flash of yellow fire and a black, thick cloud of smoke that began rolling across the face of the water. Instantly on the far side of the lagoon a cloud of dust appeared at the base of the large boulder and it rose as by magic upward in the air, tumbled end over end and fell into the deep blue water with a splash that sent a geyser of white upward, marking the spot where it had fallen.

"Smart shooting, gunner," remarked the Captain. "Secure six. Secure beat to quarters. Lieutenant set the in port watch," concluded the Captain.

"Aye, sir," the officer responded, and ordered the Bosun what to pipe to the crew, even though they all already knew. The Captain was in command of his ship once again.

The natives said nothing while waiting for the cannon to fire, or immediately afterward. Most of them could not move. Their strong men had moved rocks before but never as large as a man, and none could roll one half that size into the bay. And the noise the gun made was so great they could feel the power of it vibrate the air about them when it spoke. The people didn't know what to do or think.

Then Erin spotted Laitai. Running to her, he grabbed her by the hand and led her to the trail leading down to the ship, jumped aboard and bid her do the same. Although she was frightened, and would have left, she yielded her will to Erin and jumped after him.

"Captain, this is Laitai. She is to be my wife. Would you marry us in a Christian manner? If you will, then all I need to do is build a house for her and we'll be married according to the custom of the people here also."

"Of course I'll perform the marriage, son. But, what is this about a house?"

"Here," began Erin,"Laitai and I are not married until I have a house for her to move into. When the house is ready, her father will give her to me at a village fire and then she becomes my wife."

"Do you know where you want the house built?"

Erin asked Laitai where their house was to be built. Her expression spoke of the hope within as she told Erin where it was to be. To Laitai this was the true symbol of marriage.

"Yes, sir," responded Erin.

"Lad," beamed the Captain as he looked at the two, "You'll be married twice this day or my name isn't Jake Jacobson. Mark my word.

"Lieutenant, fetch my Bible here," ordered the Captain. And a marriage ceremony was begun right there on the open deck of the ship.

Erin said he would love and always take good care of Laitai. When he explained to her what he had said to the Captain, he then asked Laitai if she would tell the Captain she would be his wife? Her reply was that she would always like to be with him, and she nodded, yes, to the Captain.

"Fine enough. You are husband and wife," pronounced the Captain, and the men aboard gave a hearty cheer for Erin and his new wife.

"Lieutenant, draw up a marriage paper for me to sign for Mr. Waterford and his new bride. Bosun pipe a work party of twenty men. We're going to build a house for Mr. Waterford and his new bride today."

"Aye, aye, Captain," responded the Bosun smartly, and did as he was ordered. Soon the work party went ashore, which turned out to be most of the crew instead of just the original twenty. They were going to begin building a really fine house for Erin and his new bride that very hour, just as the Lord purposed and the Captain ordered.

Before the Chief's fire that night all the villagers, and the crew of His Majesties ship Dolphin, watched as Erin sat between Laitai and her father. From that moment onward she was his wife. This the people of Orchid Island understood, and were very pleased with. Erin was now one of them and Laitai was his wife. Yes, it was good, very good.

And that is how Erin was married twice in one day. Erin who had aspired to please God found God had done the same toward him.

Three simple questions - then the answer

2006-01-19T12:57:00.000-06:00

Three Questions for which you have the answer - “The source for the force of gravity is:”

Question 1. Is it possible for energy to be either created or destroyed? In helping you make up you mind, I’ll quote Asimov in his “Asimov’s Guide to Science,” published in 1972 by Basic Books. In paragraph two, on page 364, we find:

“What Joule’s experiments showed (Joule worked 35 years on the equivalence of heat energy to that of work) above all was that such conservation could be made exact when heat was taken into account for, when mechanical energy was lost to friction or air resistance, it appeared as heat. Take that heat into account, and one can show, without qualification, that no new energy is created and no old energy destroyed. The first person actually to put this notion into words was Heinrich von Helmholtz. In 1847, von Helmholtz enunciated the “law of conservation of energy,” which states that energy can be converted from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed. Whenever a certain amount of energy seems to disappear in one place, an equivalent amount must appear in another. This is also called “the first law of thermodynamics.” It remains a foundation block of modern physics, undisturbed by either quantum theory or relativity.”

Notice the sentence that I underlined. That thought shall be considered again later on. The conversion of dry ice into CO2 does not mean the mass no longer exists. Radiation from the sun striking a mass does not mean the radiation is no longer existent. That which has existed exists yet, and that which shall exist shall do so from what presently exists. Life, as rivers and mountains change, but that which comprises it continues on. Life is included here due to “life” being the agent that gives reason to what mankind does. Dead people do nothing. Where there is no “life” there is no organization of elements forming a body by which the life may evidence itself. When the life leaves a person, the body begins returning to the random organization of atoms it originally was derived from. There is no manner of understanding in the THEORY of evolution to account for the life of a person. It cannot be measured and cannot be touched, yet each of us posses life. It is interesting that the very element that comprises the difference between living and non-living is ignored. I suppose it must be this way because there can be no explanation for life by those who believe in the theory of evolution, other than to assign it a new name (annihilation, nothing, who knows, etc.) and then ignore the reality of it. Now on to question two.

Question 2. Is it possible to perform “work” apart from an energy source? Or, one may ask, is it possible to create a perpetual motion machine? Both ask the same question. To clarify the thought, I shall quote from “The Random House Dictionary of the English Language,” published in 1979. The eleventh meaning under the term “work” reads thusly:

“Physics. Force times the distance through which it acts; specifically, the transference of energy equal to the product of the component of a force that acts in the direction of the motion of the point of application of the force and the distance through which the point of application moves.”

The concept of work being equal to "force times distance" is basic to all manner of “work” performed. When an object moves, there must be an energy source to make that happen. If there is no energy source, then there can be no movement of mass. This, then, brings us to the interesting third question. If you agree with what has been stated so far, we’ll go on to the next.

In that it is necessary for an energy source to exist in order for mass to be made to move, and the force of gravity does this very thing, (causes mass to move in a particular direction) what is the possible source for the force of gravity? To quote an outside source concerning the work of gravity is unnecessary. Everyone knows this is a “force” in our lives and that it continually performs work. It is this force that we have to work against when climbing a flight of stairs, and that we have to guard against lest we slip when descending them.

There, of necessity, must be an energy source for this force to function, or the first law of thermodynamics is invalid. If this force is being created in all matter at all times, then the first law has a qualification to it - “the law of gravity is exempt.” Notice, also, that there exists no “pools” of gravity floating about the universe, causing unpredictable movement of planets. The force of gravity always associates with that of a mass. So, then, because it is continually performing work, it must have an energy source. What can it be?

Remember the sentence we were going to reconsider? Whenever a certain amount of energy seems to disappear in one place, an equivalent amount must appear in another. The angular momentum of our planet’s spin forms the magnetic field that deflects many small solar particles from reaching us living on the surface, so that energy source is out. The singular form of energy unaccounted for in our planet is that of its heat energy. This form of energy is not felt, nor is it directly observed by us. But this brings forth a serious problem. In that it exists, and we all know it does, what form of work is this vast pool of heat energy source performing?

In that work is equal to that of force times distance, it is requisite that if there be a force that there also be work being performed somewhere, somehow. There can’t be a heat source that does nothing. What is the heat source within our planet doing in the way of performing its share of work, keeping the concept “W=Fd” and the first law of thermodynamics intact?

Our planet expends 0.00444 kg. of mass in form of gravitational energy waves each second. Our sun expends nearly 665 pounds of mass in form of gravitational waves each second. Gravitational energy must have a source in order for it to exist. If not the heat energy within a solar body - what then? What do you think it is? There has to be an answer - c2=e/m.

The value of Planck's "h"

2006-01-09T13:19:00.000-06:00

First of all, this is a very small numerical value, equal to the value of part of a wave of energy. What I wish to add are a few thoughts about the smallness of energy.

There is no way of knowing what the smallest unit of energy might exist as. We cannot even know what its physical dimension(s) might be. Of course, the size of the smallest unit of energy is relative to the entities surrounding it.

As it is now, all matter is comprised of frequency. The reason for this is that all matter is comprised of electromagnetic energy that changes in overall form as it moves. The greater the speed of the mass, the greater the density of the frequency in the direction of travel.

The interesting aspect of this concept is that there is the possibility of countless worlds all existing in the same spatial location – like millions of them all the same size and same mass, yet unaware of anything but a single one their body mass matches. This would mean that a person could remain in a single location and yet move from world to world. What would need to change is the speed of the frequency of the matter comprising the mass of their body. Whereas that of the human body is 186,284 mps, the frequency of another’s body would be slightly more or less.

Lastly, I would mention that mankind has a spirit. The spirit is that which animates a person. There is some value that seemingly must exist between the spirit and body. What kind of value this might be is a total mystery – it may not be a physical value. But, I would argue that your composition is of a greater value as spirit than physical. The physical is going to perish but the spirit is not. One is temporal and the other eternal.

So, is the smallest value of energy/mass that of the value of “h”. I would guess that it is not.

Narcotics (Story)

Narcotics (Story)

The drug trade is exactly like the slave trade.

"Say, man, I need a fix. I haven't had anything all day."

"Yeah, chum, yeah. You look terrible. I got some good stuff today. It's just what you need. I'll let you have two for one‑fifty."

"Hey, man, I ain't got that kind of dough. What is this all of a sudden? Why's the price goin' up? Two days ago it was one‑fifty for four."

"Yeah, chum, that was two days ago. The price has just gone up. Sometimes I gotta pay more for the stuff so I gotta pass it along."

"Yeah, well, I don't like it. I think you're tryin' to fleece me 'cause you know I need a fix."

"Look, smart guy, you'd better learn to like it 'cause I'm the dude you've gotta come to when you need a fix. The price has just gone up to two‑hundred instead of one‑fifty."

"Hey, man, don't joke about the stuff. I need a fix. You know I'm good for it."

"And I need the cash, chum. Promises don't pay any longer."

"How am I gonna get a couple hundred for a few fixes? Gimme a break. Let me have one now and I'll bring you the one‑fifty later tonight when I pick up the other. I'll get the dough someplace."

"Hey, man, you don't hear too well. The price is two‑hundred. Two‑hundred for one fix now."

"You can't rip me off. I know that stuff isn't worth two‑hundred for a dozen."

"Yeah, well from now on each fix is costing you two hundred. Sorry, chum, but that's how this business is."

"Man, I gotta have a fix. All I want is one lousy fix. Now gimme it or I'm gonna bash your head in!"

"The only thing you're gonna get is a fix of hot lead. See this here rod? It's got a silencer on it so no one is gonna hear. It's gonna look like you just had severe stomach cramps and fell to the pavement."

"Hey, man, put that thing away. You know I didn't mean it. I was just jokin'. That's all, just jokin'."

"Your little joke is gonna cause you to have a terminal problem with life."

"O.k., so I was a little hasty with the words. So, I'm sorry. Now put the rod away."

"Not on your life chum, not on your life. My rod and I, we're running things around here, see. We let people know what they're gonna do and what they aren't gonna do. If they don't like it, my friend and I let 'em know. An' we don't seem to like you very much."

"Hey, man, don't put the strong arm on me. I ain't got no dough."

"Yeah, chum, but I know how you can get it. You can put a big, fat mortgage on your house."

"Are you outta your mind?"

"You'd have the stuff laying around for a year. Why, you'd be high all the time, you'd never land."

"Yeah, but after that, what then?"

"We'd think of something."

"Yeah, I'll bet you would. Like seeing how much you could get in the shortest possible time."

"We gotta share the wealth, man. That's what it's all about. But, if you don't wanna throw a mortgage on your house I know where there is a store you can hit any time and be sure to pick up five‑hundred or so. In fact when I went by a short time ago the place was empty. It's only a five minute hop from here. You could be in and out and have some really good stuff in just fifteen minutes."

"I don't wanna hit no store, especially in daylight."

"You've gotta do something, chum. Snatch a purse, heist a car or two, loot a house, strong‑arm someone, tap a bank ‑ you gotta do something."

"Hey, look, you can't tell me what to do. You don't own me."

"It's like this, chum. I got what you want an' I'm always gonna have what you want. You'll never get enough."

"I can walk away an' there is nothin' you can do."

"You tried that before, remember? You've always come back. So take off. We both know you'll be back. When you do, the price goes way up."

"Where's the store?"

"Now you're really thinkin' smart, chum. Tell you what. Seein' you're cooperatin' so well I'll let you have a fix at our old price of two‑hundred for two."

"That's not the old price!"

"Don't argue with me, chum. The price can go up ‑ right? You've been cooperatin' pretty good so far so let's not wreck it, huh? I'll let you use a spare rod of mine when you get out of the car. It hasn't got any bullets in it, so no one's gonna get hurt.

"Hey, man, what if I get caught?"

"You aren't gonna get caught. Now just walk in there and look around first. If there's any one other than that grey haired old lady behind the counter, just leave. I'll tell you what, chum. I'll wait down the block in the car. If things don't look good, just come on back and I'll still give you a fix."

"That sounds o.k. with me. Let's go."

They did go, but it was a set‑up by the drug dealer. He had told the police, by anonymous telephone tip, that the store was to be robbed about the very time his "chum" arrived. When the addict went inside he found no one but a small, grey haired old lady who seemed completely harmless. But when he pulled out his borrowed gun he was shot to death by the police who were waiting in the back. The dope peddler had just gotten rid of a problem case and was still free to make his other slaves do exactly as he wanted.

Conclusion: Don't EVER trust any "chum" that deals drugs!

Anthem - story

2005-11-29T11:23:00.000-06:00

Anthem (The Silent Song)

If an anthem is not lived by somebody, it means nothing to everybody.

There are no words to read,
There are no parades fit to match the deed,
Of those who have given their life for another in need.

"O.k., Mike, we'll head outta this place at twenty‑three hundred hours. I think we can make it back to our lines in a couple more days."

"How about Jeffers? He's not gonna keep up if we have to force-march."

"Yeah, you're right, you're right. We'll have to split up. You take the guys and head out at twenty‑three hundred hours. Jeffers and I will tag along later."

"You'll be an easy target for every patrol between here and the border. Jeffers isn't going to be much help with a cut up leg if you have to shoot your way out of trouble."

"we’ll make out fine. You guys step out like you're told. Besides, it's gonna be a snap for the two of us. Instead of a whole platoon stomping through the countryside there'll be just the two of us."

"If Shorty and Drake stay behind, they'll help a lot in a pinch."

"I want that information about the missile system gotten back to the Captain. It's up to you guys to make sure he gets it. I'll take care of Jeffers. I don't want any more advice from you or anyone else. You guys are leaving on time while we stroll back at a more comfortable pace. That's how it is. You got your orders, and I expect 'em to be carried out."

"Yes, sir. I just wanted to make it easier on you."

"There is nothing easy about war, so forget it ‑ but thanks anyhow."

Later that night, at twenty‑three hundred hours, as the men began filing away into the darkness, the platoon officer gave last instructions to the new leader.

"Take it easy going back, Mike. Don't hurry and keep your eyes open. Don't stay near the river when you come to it 'cause it's an easy place for an enemy patrol boat to get you with their heavy machine gun. Once you cross the river keep going straight north and you'll reach our lines. I'll let Jeffers rest through the night. We are gonna be a long way behind."

"Good luck, sir."

"Yeah, same to you, Mike. Take care of the guys and make sure they all get back."

Early the following morning Jeffers woke up. His left leg throbbed with pain. He had been sleeping on the cold ground all night, so more than just his severely wounded leg ached. The guys had made a pair of wooden crutches for him earlier, but still the prospect of ever getting back looked bleak to him.

"See you're awake. It's gonna be a nice day for a stroll. I think we can go a long way. Perhaps all the way to the river."

"How far is that, sir?"

"Seven or eight miles, mebby. How's your leg doin'?"

"I don't know. It hurts like wildfire all the time. I hate to think about it. It looked so bad last time the bandages were changed it makes me scared."

"I know how you feel. I was cut real bad on the farm by a scythe. I went right to the hospital and had forty stitches. I hated to look at that bandage for a long tine afterward. Here you have a grenade tear into you and we haven't been able to do a thing for ya.

"How old were you when you were hurt, sir?"

"Sixteen. Just a few years younger than what you are."

"I wish I could go to a hospital and have someone take care of my leg. It would be nice just to know it was going to be o.k. and that somewhere down the road this terrible pain would finally go away."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. I wish there was something I could do for you too, kid, but there isn't. The best I can do is change the dressing."

"I'm thankful for that, sir. I don't think I could stand to do it by myself."

"That's o.k. I'll give you a shot of morphine first. The guys chipped in and gave you some extra tubes."

"I'm gonna need it. My leg hurt so much last night, I must have been awake a dozen times wishing it was gone."

"Take it easy. I'll fix you up and we'll be on our way. In just a few days we'll have you in a hospital."

An hour later the sun had fully risen. The warming rays made the day more cheerful and comfortable. Both men had their usual cold rations to eat. The dressing on Jeffers leg had been changed and he was helped to his feet. He found his leg was so stiff that it would not bend at the knee, so his foot scuffed along the ground from time to time causing terrific pain. Both men realized this was not going to be an easy day. The river was to be their first objective. After that they would just have to wait and see what would happen. Leaving their protective shelter of thick brush, the two started slowly toward their own lines.

By midday Jeffers was able to go no further. His leg had swollen even more and it now throbbed continually. It made little difference whether he bumped it on the ground now or not, for just the movement of hobbling along made it hurt terribly. There was still a mile or so before they reached the river ‑ their first objective. For now they would have to stop.

Surrounded by thick bushes, once again Jeffers wound was dressed after he received a double shot of morphine. Soon be was resting comfortable again. His eyes were closed and he was breathing deeply and evenly.

"I'm gonna head on down toward the river. There isn't anything I can do for you now. If you get some rest, perhaps we can push on to the river a little later."

"Just a little while ‑ if I can just stay here a little while, sir, I think I'll be o.k."

"Sure, kid. I'll be back soon as I can."

Jeffers was left to rest while the officer headed toward the river to find the best way across, and to see how heavily patrolled it was. The best crossing he found was upstream from a guarded bridge spanning the river. At that point, from a distance, there appeared to be a broad sandbar with only a narrow stretch of deep water between it and the opposite shore. Jeffers would be able to cover that distance with a little help. Looking at the smooth, apparent calm waters below, the officer at that moment wished they were thirty miles down river where their forces held another crossing. As it was, he and Jeffers would have to cross the river and then go inland ten miles in order to reach the safety of their own lines. Thoughts concerning the present position of his platoon flashed through the officer's mind as he turned and headed back toward the bushes where he had left Jeffers. He felt that by this time the guys should have returned with the information about the missile sites ‑ "probably eating a hot meal and talking about Jeffers and myself this very instant," he thought.

If they could follow the river, then they could make it to their lines in no time, and in relative comfort. That idea was altogether out of the picture. There were too many enemy patrol boats. Should they attempt travel by way of the river they would be shot up for sure. That was war – they always traveled over a rough road, or over no road at all.

Two hours before dawn the two men were awake. If it were possible they would get across the river just before the sun rose, then find a place to rest during the day before moving along that night in order to elude the more concentrated enemy patrols they were sure to meet toward their own front lines. Once again Jeffers was helped shakily to his feet. After a few tries with the aid of his crutches, he staggered and almost fell. He could do little more than a slow shuffle.

"How're you doin' kid?"

"The last shot of morphine didn't seem to do a thing. It hurts real bad. I wish my leg was gone. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this, sir."

"Yeah, well, hang on. We've got just a short way to the river. Once we cross that we'll be back to our lines an' you'll soon be on your way stateside."

"I don't think I'm going to make it, sir. Maybe it would be better to leave me by the river where I'd be picked up by a
patrol, and you go on alone.

"Not a chance, kid. My whole platoon is gonna make it back. You know what these guys here would do with you. They'd leave you in a hole somewhere to rot, that's what. We're gonna make it back together."

On they went in silence, watching the dense woods about them, hurrying fast as possible. It was almost sunrise when they reached the sandy spot along the river.

At the waters edge, lying in the mud and sand, surrounded by bushes, the two men met with the rest of their platoon. They had been shot up. There had been no word reported back to headquarters concerning the multitude of enemy missiles awaiting a frontal attack. It would be a slaughter if those sites were not destroyed first.

"Look!" said Jeffers excitedly as he pointed far downriver toward a fast approaching enemy river craft. "A patrol boat is coming our way fast! You take off and I'll stay here and get as many as I can. Give me your gun!"

"It's not gonna be that way, kid. We're staying together. Lie down and play dead ‑ quick! I'll take care of this!"

The officer took the bandage off Jeffers leg, exposing the ugly, open wound. He then smeared river mud over them both, then laid thick branches over the upper part of Jeffers, covering his face and chest. The officer then crawled partly under Jeffers badly wounded leg, lying part in and part out of the water. Just a short time later the bow of the powerful craft slowed and coasted to shore.

The ruse worked. After splashing ashore and briefly looking at the dead men, that they knew had been shot earlier, the enemy soldiers hurried into the woods to see if others were about, leaving a single sentry to watch the boat. The officer listened to the receding noise as the enemy patrol moved further into the woods. Soon there was only the noise of the throbbing, idling boat engine.

The lone sentry standing on the shore, his back to the two hiding men, was watching something across the river. He never knew what hit him as the gun butt of the officer’s heavy machine gun smashed into the lower part of his neck, crumpling him to the ground.

Leaving the guard where he fell, Jeffers was helped up and assisted into the boat where he manned the forward machine gun. Although it was hard, unpleasant work, the officer then loaded all the rest of the platoon on board also. Everyone was going back.

"I'm thankful they left the motor running," said the officer to himself. "Hang onto that machine gun kid. If you see anyone coming, mow 'em down!"

Engaging the reverse gear, the officer shoved the throttle forward and the heavy craft slid smoothly into the deep channel. A thrill of joy swept through the officer as he realized what he could do with the swift craft. In less than an hour they would be back to their own lines. Jeffers, possibly, could be in the hospital in that time and have his leg taken care of.

Disengaging the reverse gear, the officer engaged the forward one. He swung the wheel so the boat lined up with the deep channel, then he shoved the throttle all the way forward. The engine roared and the front end of the boat rose high out of the water, soon settling back as the craft leveled off at a high rate of speed. They passed beneath the enemy bridge without a shot being fired, for those guarding it knew the boat speeding by with mud covered men in it was one of their own, and so did nothing.

Later, when these two men would recall these series of incidents that had happened at the river's edge, one startling thought would remain fixed in their minds. Were it not that their friends had died where they had, so the two of them might hide among them, they probably would not have escaped being shot or captured. Most certainly the two men would not have had the boat to get back to their lines with so they might give an advance warning of impending missile destruction. It was terrible and yet true ‑ their friends had not died in vain.

Later in life these two soldiers would join in singing a song. The song would be an anthem. They would sing the words while thinking of past reality. Their shared thoughts would be the true anthem to the honorable brave, The Silent Song.

Advice

The advice of God forms reality.

Long ago God and man stood at the Gate of time, also called the Door of Wisdom. Newly created man was looking out across the vast expansive fields before them. His vision followed the rolling green carpet until its vastness was lost amongst the beauty of the darker leaved trees on the horizon.

Flowers surrounding the rising trunks of mature nearby trees nodded happily in the light breeze as though they, too, were admiring and assenting to the unending perfection of the garden of God. To the right of God and man, as they stood considering the perfection of color and form, were trees and plants laden with ripe fruit given to man for his enjoyment.

There were no physical enemies able to harm man, for he was under the protection and care of God Himself. Everything in the new garden of Eden was created so it would be a benefit and fulfillment to the happiness of man, for God had created it so. But even in the perfect world before them, with its unending grace and beauty, whose animal inhabitants were mans kind and compliant associates, God found an imperfection.

God had created man with a particular kind of beauty called "free will". As the Garden of God was beautiful to mankind, so the beauty of the will of man yielding itself to the Wisdom of God was beautiful to the Lord. But this very thing presented a problem. The animal world did not possess this gift as did man. The animals and birds had been created as living, complex machines. They had been formed with color, form, grace and pleasing natures, but they could not offer the same loving response as man toward God. To exhibit love toward God by an act of their will they needed the capacity to also not obey, and the animal kingdom was not given this ability. Man, alone, had been given the spirit-life when God breathed into him the breath of life, making the soul and spirit of man as being the very life of God. Man would live forever while the creatures of earth could live just by those mechanics which they consisted of, and that existence was only of earth. The animals and birds, nice as they were, would never bow down and honor and worship God as Lord and Friend, though they would obey Him, obey as a stone obeys the hand that moves it.

The first man was a citizen of two worlds - the seen and the unseen. But there was no friend for man to share his inner-life with, concerning the things of the unseen world where God communed with man as His friend, and where man delighted himself in God by being obedient to Him. It was upon this point of fellowship God saw the problem, though man saw it not. Man was content existing as he was, doing what God asked of him. He also enjoyed the animals about himself, and taking care of the Garden of God. Man, even with his superb intellect, did not know there was a possibility of any other kind of existence other than the one he was in. Only God was able to detect that which was less than perfectly perfect.

God spoke with His friend, man. God asked man to intrust to Him his body. and if he would do this, He would bring something new to pass that man had never seen nor thought of. God would make a friend for man so special man would always be delighted with it. Man knew that to trust God was a wise thing, so he joyfully accepted the advice of God and assented to the strange operation the Lord had proposed to him. By faith, man submitted his body to the surgical skills of God.

The Lord then put man to sleep, opened up his side, and took out one of his ribs. Then began a work of such magnitude that only God was able to perform it, a work which He alone knew could be done.

God took that single bone and began to fashion it into something special as He had promised. He purposed to put into this one particular gift all the qualities man would delight in. There were personality, intellect, emotion, form, color, texture, and all the other subtle graces man would admire. The sum of these fine enhancements of body and spirit were being formed into one special person. God (I suppose) smiled and hummed to Himself as He thought how His friend, man, would appreciate this special gift. Not only would man appreciate the gift, but the gift would also have the ability to appreciate the one for whom it was made - only God could do that!

Finished at last! The gift to man, as man himself, had been given the ability to exercise free will. There were no limitations, as with animals, as to the number of choices His new creation could make. God's new creation could also exhibit the beauty of choosing to obey Himself as could man. God considered His work and acknowledged to Himself that it was very good. Here would be a special friend to man, and another equal special friend to Himself.

The lord awakened man and showed him what He had made, and man was ecstatic about what God had done. Man called his new gift "woman" because she was made from himself. From the very first man loved the woman and wanted to be with her more than all the the animals in the Garden of God. She, being part of himself, would be to him a mirror image, as man is to his Creator.

So man went with his gift for a walk in the Garden of God for the first time. He spoke to her of the way things grew, he spoke of animals and birds and what they did. He showed her the best places to view the beautiful world about themselves and where he liked best to be. Another new world had just been brought into the life of man. Now, as he walked through the Garden of God, man would have his even more lovely Garden of Forever walking alongside. Again, by faith, man found the advice and wisdom of God to be very, very good.

Foundation

The presupposition of what truth and error are, forms the blueprint building either a bulwark or tower from which a person shall view life.

We are seated in a large auditorium among the scientific leaders of the world as they meet to resolve a problem that has grown more acute year by year. The speaker is finishing his opening remarks that are to lay the philosophical foundation of this convention.

"...system isolation was the beginning of our scientific era. When mankind gained understanding of how to separate different electrical, chemical, and mechanical forces, he learned to design and build objects, instruments, and systems vastly more complex than ever dreamed of just fifty years earlier. But, even surrounded by this complexity, it was in principles of simplicity he found answers to his basic need for more energy. When it was learned all mass is formed of multiples of electron masses, and nucleons were able to be increased and decreased in size by the addition or subtraction of these particles, the one-wire electrical system was developed. The current flow (this being the flow of electrons along a wire) was made to match the number of electrons being converted into luminous energy. Then, thanks to redesigning the filament into a sphere, all of mankind had their own Atomic Potential Generator able to convert nucleons directly into high frequency electromagnetic energy. Soon, instead of using a percentage of current flow, all the power of the Electron Generating System was put to use with one-hundred percent usefulness. Following this was the redesign of the electric motor, whose magnetic field was found to be able to be expended in proportion to its load use. After these basic concepts were established, system isolation thereafter made greater and greater strides for the betterment of mankind.

"Presently we have entered upon the important concept of field frequency control. This, of course, was brought about when it had been determined all mass is composed of specific frequencies. Now, today, we are able to make objects move through space according to our will. It is not a miracle that thousands of tons of material are moved through the air by a single person, or that families take their homes with them when they go on vacation, or on a business trip. We, ourselves, move through the air in our cities, and about the world in general, by our small Time-line packs.

"Within the past twenty years mankind has visited all the planets of our solar system and colonized those he wished. Our moon is as accessible to us today as town was to those who once traveled by horse and buggy just a few hundred years ago. Thousands of aged people spend the last years of their lives in outer space for medical purposes and for the weightless comfort of it. Billions of tons of asteroids have been brought together in order to form a protective shield for those in the weightless environment. Man has moved his universe to accommodate the physical world to himself.

"At present the inflow of knowledge is so great there is no one person able to keep up with new developments taking place in any single passing month. Master Computer now absorbs, interrelates, rationalizes, and distributes incoming information to those who have the need to know it. We rely on this information as we do the air we breathe in order for our society to function smoothly.

"Today, though, we meet to discuss a problem that has plagued us from time immemorial. This problem, as we all know, is crime. We have moved the statistics toward the low end of reality as much as possible, but we are still faced with the seeming truth of its existence.

"Because system isolation is the singular concept whereby we have progressed so rapidly in the area of physical science, we are advocating this same manner of study to determine the cause of our crime rate and to investigate the basis of it. The High Counsel wishes to remind you that natural physical laws do not apply to mankind - as is seen in the Second Law of Thermodynamics not being relative to the evolutionary process. Were system isolation to be strictly applied to mankind it would imply we are basically evil. This, of course, would lead to the necessity of having absolutes of good and evil, and perhaps with there being a real God and a real Satan. Further, it would mean mankind cannot make himself better with a better environment, and we do not wish any of that kind of nonsensical thinking even suggested in our meeting here today.

"It may be that we have not defined the word "crime" correctly. Some have forwarded the very valid concept that perhaps this word should be expunged from our language so it shall cease to exist, thus crime itself no longer exist. Others believe crime may not really be existent at present in any form, but is an improper perspective on our part toward philosophical and behavioral patterns. The assembly is now ready for one of you ladies or gentlemen advocating such proposals to speak."

(Romans 1:22) "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools..."

Earth's very own black hole

Our very own (Earth’s) Black Hole

(c)2004 D. Ertle

Since the beginning of mankind’s existence there has been an intellectual quest to find the reason for the “why” of the many forces operating about and within us. This propensity to know the reason why physical forces act as they do, of course, has its rewards. When mankind is able to control his environment he lives in, it establishes a world of relative safety and comfort.

In the beginning of mankind’s existence life was composed of physical everyday needs to be met. When there was time for reflection upon the reason for the “why” of hot, cold, wind, rain, life and death, then someone, somewhere, seeking to relate question to answer, came to reasoning the why of all things falling downward. Whoever it was that first contemplated this thought and what that person’s conclusion was, unfortunately, was not recorded in their diary and passed down to posterity. Likely the contemplation was that of a passing nature due to there being more pressing matters at the moment, and the realization that the knowledge would be of no value to them anyway.

Thousands of years later and things have changed. We are not hunting in protective groups, killing animals and fighting against some natural force of nature for our everyday existence. Presently we have ample time to consider many abstract physical forces, and now the “why” of these abstract questions mean a lot to us. We have learned to use the most basic forces in nature in a focused manner to bring about a radical change for our good and for the subjugation of our often stormy, erratic physical world. Instead of thinking of gravity in a passing manner, every day of the year there are thousands of people considering this force that pulls objects downward. Their observations fill volume after volume as to what it does, but with no definitive answer as to why it exists at all. Of observation and conclusions as to its existence there is a multitude of answers, but of a final solution as to why this force exists at all there are none. Presented herein is an answer as to why this force forms.

First, and foremost, we realize that the force of gravity performs work. This obvious fact is observed as a person climbs stairs or seeks to lift a large object, and then the actual work performed by all hydroelectric plants is the result of the force of gravity. The fact that gravitational attraction does perform work means that it must have an energy source. It is impossible for any manner of work to be performed apart from an energy source. The concept relating to the function of work is expressed as (w=fd). Work is equal to the force that moves mass times the distance it moves. (Our distance value here is that of a decreasing gravitational field as one moves away from the core point of our planet). The reason for emphasizing the work concept is that an energy source must be found for the existence of the force of gravity if this universal equation is to remain in effect. If an energy source is not found for this force then the equation is not part of physical law, and the force of gravity is being created in all matter at all times in the entire universe. Of course, a continual creation of gravity would invalidate the first law of thermodynamics – “energy is neither created nor destroyed.” Either there is an energy source or there is a continual creation.

The answer as to what that energy source might be is found in internal heat energy within our planet. If there is no heat energy within a mass, then that mass cannot propagate a gravitational field. This is true if that mass were to be the size of our sun. – no heat, no gravity.

Sir Isaac Newton worked the gravity principle out correctly, stating that this force was to be determined center of mass outward. This was obvious (although one must admit that the obvious seen obviously is often not recognized for what it is) in that our planet is a sphere and this force is existent all about it. The problem here is that the answer tells the “how” of gravity but not the “why” of it and this is what we began our inquiry with – why this force forms.

Sir Isaac Newton then surmised that all particles attracted other particles in our universe. In this he was mistaken. There exists an energy variable within matter, and that variable is the heat energy contained within a mass. So, for a gravitational equation to be complete (the “why” of it) the value of “Q squared” would have to be determined for each mass. The value of “Q” here represents the heat energy within a mass. To understand the compounding effect this form of energy has upon surrounding mass we shall consider gravitational acceleration within our planet outward from its core point.

Were we to be standing at near sea level on our planet’s surface, we would be accelerating downward toward its core point at nearly twenty-two miles an hour. The further we were to travel downward the greater this relative speed (force) would become (the greater the amount of energy a hydroelectric plant could generate in each second). This is evidenced physically in the “Gutenberg discontinuity” at the 2,160 mile location from earth’s core point where mass density jumps form 6 to 9 grams per cubic centimeter. At his location secondary waves no longer penetrate and seismographs can no longer detect any mass movement. Mass at this location has begun to lose its outer electron tension and so it collapses into a closer shell where there is greater resistance to being compressed. The following are acceleration values for mass located at different positions outward from the core point of our planet:

1,500 miles from the core point of our planet mass would be accelerating downward at nearly 152 miles an hour. (Remembering that it is but the resistance of the mass below that keeps the mass above from actually, instantly accelerating to this speed within one second, for in physical actuality the mass is accelerating at that speed, just as you are actually accelerating at 22 mph at sea level, which is why you are kept where you are).

100 miles away from the core point acceleration would become 34,470 miles an hour.

10 miles away from the core point acceleration would become 957 MILES PER SECOND or 3,445,200 miles an hour.

Then at 0.717 miles from the core point of our planet mass in this location IS accelerating at 186,258 MILES PER SECOND. This speed is about 25 miles per second less than that of the speed of light. Were a mass to move just a fraction closer than this distance, to say 0.716 miles from the core point of our planet, then its downward acceleration would become 186,779 miles per second. The attractive force acting on the mass would cause it to accelerate to a speed greater than that of the speed of light in one second.

At this point a dilemma arises. What happens inward, beyond the 0.717 mile location within the core point of our planet? There are three options: The first option would be that there exists a new form of matter. This mass would have the ability to remain related to us at present while also remaining atomically accelerated to a speed far beyond that of the speed of light

The second option would be that matter as we know it, within the core of our planet, as that of our sun, is non-existent. At near the 400 mile location from the core point of our sun its mass would be accelerating atomically to a speed greater than that of the speed of light also, just as it does at the 0.716 distance within earth, so mass could not exist within that location either. This would mean that instead of there being an iron-nickel core, as projected exists within the core of our planet, there would be but lines of gravitational waves passing through that one and one-half mile location. And the hypothetical, hydrogen to helium furnace heating our sun’s core would change to that of a mass contraction furnace, which heat energy would further maintain the mass contraction. Remember that the sun must expend 665 pounds of matter in form of gravitational waves every second in order to keep the planets in place, and our planet expends 0.00444 kg. per second in order to keep us where we are. This gravity thing ain’t free.

The third possibility is that there is a mass that has formed within the core point area of our sun and planet having an alias of “Black hole”. It might sound sort of convenient to have a black hole with which our planet, due to necessity, would surround rather than empty space but, then, what would limit such a black hole size? Why would it not gobble up the surrounding mass of the sun and planets it was in the center of, and why would it not restrict the sun and earth’s rotation, and mess up our orbital movement? After all, such a black hole would be in position to exert the greatest breaking action possible on any solar body.

The obvious conclusion is that there is a distance within the center of all large solar bodies where mass cannot exist. Within this area there does exist “mass” but not in form as we think of it. It is in form of gravitational waves, which in turn are a form of mass (this E also equals m; m=E/c2). Then we can see why c2=E/m, c2 is a form of energy also – is it not? It is the most basic of all. This in turn is also able to be converted into mass and exist as waves of velocity instead of dimensional mass or electromagnetic energy.

Either there is an energy source forming the force of gravity (WORK), and gravity is the effect of that energy, or there is a continual creation of this force in all matter at all times. This is the “why” of gravity whether we like it or not.

An experiment you can help with

An Experiment You Can Help With

There is an interesting trilogy in physics relative to electromagnetic energy and its formation into mass. The first part of the trilogy you are sure to know, the other two parts you probably are not familiar with. The first part is E=mc2. All know this as the conversion of mass into energy. The second part of the trilogy is obvious though not popular. It is m=E/c2. The conversion of energy into mass. For a long while those who have an interest in these concepts have known about the equation for converting energy into mass but they cannot practically do anything about it. The concept is left largely alone by the public other than as an "Oh, hum" sort of a thing and it is then passed over. The third part of the trilogy is less obvious yet, in that the value of "c2" is not recognized for what it represents as a physical concept by itself. It is the "c2" representation that needs to be examined by empirical evidence - meaning an experiment needs to be performed to determine if it is a singular entity to itself as are energy and mass. The entire equation is c2=E/m. This value of velocity is that of a field of time, or that which accelerates one mass toward another through empty space, bonding planets to their orbits about the sun, and us to them. It is also the equation for earth's gravitational constant and is the basis of both mass and energy.

Newton first described the force of gravitation as to how the force acted instead of what it was. The force was described as, "F" (for the force of gravity) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one," times "mass two," divided by the distance times itself. The result of this equation was in giving a numerical value to the attractive force between earth and its moon. That is all Newton wanted at the time. But this equation does not tell a person what the force of gravitation would be if all the mass of the universe were to be a single mass, as some project once happened in the "big bang" theory. As you are aware, according this theory there would have been no second mass to compare with the first, so there could have been no gravitational equation formulated. All that could be known would be F=m (the force of gravitation is equal to the mass), and that's it. The present equation for a gravitational field is not wrong, it's just incomplete. It's like a person describing a house by the postal address. It isn't that a particular house address is incorrect information, but if you want to know what the house looks like physically it takes more than an address in order to learn that. In order for Newton's equation to be able to describe the force of gravitation both by what it does, as well as what it is, the equation would have to read "F" (the force of gravitation) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one, times its heat energy squared", times "mass two, times its heat energy squared", "divided by the distance multiplied times itself". (F = G x (m1 x Q2) x (m2 x Q2) / d2); "Q" here representing the heat energy within the mass. Using this concept, the equation for a single mass only would be (F = m x Q2). I'm sure you get the idea. Mass of itself is not capable of completing the equation for the force of gravitation, for mass is an entity to itself. There has to be something more. As things stand now, with the way the force of gravity has been represented, there must exist a perpetual creation of this force in all mass at all times in order for its presence to be explained. A continuous creation is the only manner the force of gravity can have perpetually existed through the supposed past eons of time and yet exist brand new at present. Those who seek to understand such things make no allowance for any natural energy source to form this force. They, by default, subscribe to the perpetual creation concept, even though they do not consciously state it. Consider, as we have seen in Appendix "B", that it takes the consumption of 0.00444 kg. per second, or 31.8 tons of mass, or its equivalent energy, converted into gravitational frequencies per year to maintain the energy level required for earth's gravitational field to remain standing. Our sun requires the continual breakdown of 10,485,720 tons of matter, or its equivalent energy, per year into gravitational frequencies in order to maintain orbiting planets in their positions. Does it not seem a wise act to be looking for the energy source that propagates this force?

The reason for going through all this is that I wish to show that the force of gravitation is part of a basic equation that is able to stand by itself (c2=E/m). The force of gravitational acceleration is in reality a physical field of what we loosely call time. Mankind does not think of time as being a physical reality, but it obviously must be just that in some fashion or the concept would not exist at all - i.e. the continual linear flow of past, present and future events, these always having the same unchangeable physical value. I wish to present a manner whereby the existence of physical time forming the force of gravitation may be conclusively examined, but it requires the assistance of others to do so.

There are three primary manners whereby we use energy in our physical world (discounting plasma, the fourth state of matter). Whenever any form of energy associates with a mass, then that energy must evidence itself in some manner. This will be either in linear movement of a mass, by angular movement, or as heat energy existing within a mass. There is a singular instance where an obvious energy expenditure does not appear, in what we would think of as being a "normal" manner. It is when there is a great deal of potential heat energy contained within a large mass, as found in our solar systems sun and planets. The heat energy contained within our planet does not obviously evidence itself to our senses in any manner other than by the occasional action of a volcano or thermo-spring. Why not?

The internal heat energy within our planet causes its mass to form into the shape of a sphere, compacting the mass of earth. It is the heat energy within our planet, forcing the mass to become compacted, that causes our gravitational field to form to the intense factor it does. Were there no internal heat energy within our planet then there could be no gravitational field. Were the internal heat energy within our planet to decrease in value, our planet's gravitational field would also decrease in intensity. The value velocity of "c" (c2=E/m) within earth's mass evidences itself apart from the mass containing it. In the past, the value of the time wave (c) has been ignored as having an existence at all when considering electromagnetic energy. Yet this velocity is the basis for the explanation of electromagnetic radiation (speed), and is itself formed of electromagnetic energy. The value of "c" is the common velocity that all clocks measure in some physical manner as being time, and we, ourselves, are composed of this value as is all else having physical existence. It is also this velocity that we relate with as being real time.

Having explained the basis for gravitation, take a look at how it may be proven whether the gravitational field of earth might have as its origin the internal heat energy within or not. The location in which the experiment needs to be performed is in outer space, where it would be free from earth's gravitational influence and surrounding, small gravitational fields are able to be well isolated. This, obviously, is the part others need to perform. The experiment would consist of three pairs of lead spheres, each set of two spheres being distant enough from any other surrounding mass that they could only influence and be influenced by each other.

The first set of spheres would each be heated to near six hundred degrees f. and placed a fixed distance apart in such manner they would be perfectly motionless relative to each other before the experiment began. Once the restraint on them was removed and they were free to move, each sphere would begin moving toward the other and they would meet at a midway point.

In the second set of spheres, one sphere would be heated to the same temperature as those of the first set while the second sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible, then the spheres would be distanced as were the first set. What would be observed once the spheres were released to freely move, is that the heated sphere would remain motionless while the frozen sphere would begin moving toward the heated one until they met. They then would begin sharing the heat energy and both would have a reduced gravitational field.

The third set of spheres would consist to two lead spheres set the same distance apart as the first and second set, but each sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible. That which would be observed once they were released to move freely, is that neither sphere would begin moving toward the other as in the first two sets. If each sphere had a temperature of absolute zero Kelvin, they would never move toward each other.

This simple experiment would demonstrate the force of gravitation to be or not to be a field of time (c2=E/m), whose origin is that of a particular form of energy and not of a continual creation. What do you think? Is it possible? Will it ever be known if it is not examined? It might be something to consider.

Forming and Collapsing a Gravitational Field

© 1983, D. Ertle

Gravitation being a product of mass plus heat energy is not a new concept. A gentleman by the name of Baily first carried out experiments in 1841 - 1842 that were compiled by Airy, a mathematician, who determined that the force of gravitation is a mass-energy relationship. Because Newton’s law of gravitational attraction does not leave room for resident heat energy to be figured into his equation, the results of Baily were explained away, i.e. convection currents, body proximity etc. I believe Baily and Airy were correct in their findings and would like to state a reason for the correctness of their work.

Gravitation is an energy structure. It performs work continuously and for work to be performed an energy expenditure must be exhibited in some manner. We recognize energy as existing in three primary manners when relating with a mass (discounting plasma, the fourth state of matter, which state of existence has too much heat energy contained within the minute mass for it to be physically touched and manipulated by mankind). These three forms of energy which mankind most commonly uses are linear movement, angular movement, and heat energy. They are the basic manners by which mass may evidence the presence of energy contained within. Gravitation gives evidence of an energy structure existing within a mass that is not compatible, by observation, with any of the three preceding kinds of energy. This means this particular force is a different exhibition of energy than how our minds normally conceive of energy as existing as.

In the cosmological sense (that which encompasses the whole of all physical existence) we are aware of the energy of time as being a universal factor in mass-energy relationships. It is this one particular manifestation, coupled to that of kinetic energy, which is used to demonstrate time retardation and time advancement. Although there are two other energy structures one might also consider in order to form a time change relative to mankind - angular movement and heat energy. But we know that angular movement will destroy the molecular bonding of a human body if the body is subjected to too great amounts of this force (like being on a two foot diameter merry-go-round whose outer circumference moves about at ten thousand miles an hour). The fact does exist, though, that this two dimensional expression of energy could be applied just as effectually to the human body and bring about the very same results as does kinetic energy if the body could tolerate the stress. The other manner of energy change within mass would be that of adding heat energy to a human body. The problem of adding energy to a body mass in this manner to bring about a time change is obvious - the human body would vaporize before it had heat energy applied to it which would equal the kinetic energy of a person in a speeding spaceship. The question arises, then, as to what kind of energy structure propagates the force of gravitation.

That force which forms a gravitational field is inverted kinetic energy. This means that internal heat energy is acting within mass in the same manner as does kinetic energy of a moving object. The immediate response of a mass when it has kinetic energy associated with it is to move in one direction. But this one directional movement may be converted directly into heat energy, as happens in the breaking system of your automobile, or when the nose cone of a reentry rocket hits the upper atmosphere of earth. While in outer space that vacuum isolates a spaceship as does a great mass having a large quantity of internal heat energy isolate those on its surface (e.g. moon or planet). Both systems protect mankind in such manner they are not destroyed by a vast energy presence.

The atomic structure of a speeding mass changes from that of having a spherical shape towards that of becoming a dimensionless entity as it nears the speed of light. This is evidenced in the equations for mass, energy and the constant velocity of light squared. As E=mc2 and m=E/c2, so also does c2=E/m (which is the expression for a pure field of time, or a field of gravity) indicating the c2 concept is that of a mass-energy relationship and is able to stand alone. As the energy factor becomes greater the mass factor must also become greater or decrease in value. This is exactly what happens in the movement of a spaceship. As a mass approaches the speed of light the entire object becomes invisible to a stationary observer due to its mass-energy imbalance. (Were a person stationary in outer space and all the while looking directly ahead, and a spaceship one mile in length passed by one inch from the face of that person while moving at near the speed of light, that person looking straight ahead would, visually, be totally unaware of the spaceship having ever passed by). If there were no mass (m) for energy (E) to relate with, then energy could not exist as other than a velocity (c). E and c are the same entity. E expresses itself only in the presence of m. Three-dimensional mass ceases to exist at c because it is one dimensional in structure and has no existence of itself (as mankind determines physical existence). Mass is a temporary reality God bound together that has no inherent existence of itself - mass cannot self-exist.

In outer space a spacecraft appears to be “going someplace” but the atomic structure in the core of earth, containing and retaining all its vast internal heat energy, is “going someplace” just as is the spacecraft, though not from point to point as is beneficial to mankind in his reasoning. The mass of the core of earth is all moving atomically toward one very small point with there existing a perfect balance of forces completely surrounding that point. A spaceship is but a balance of mass and energy headed in a single direction, that direction having a point of origin as large as is the circumference of the craft. As kinetic energy in a spacecraft is the acceleration of mass all focused parallel in a single direction, so gravitation is the acceleration of mass inward in three dimensions. This resulting velocity-frequency is focused toward perpetually spreading outward from the center of the mass, performing work purely in the fourth dimension. This means work is being performed apart from the direct association of the mass exerting the force.

Gravitational Experiment

By using two principles in an experiment, heat and pressure, (the heat energy within the core of our planet forms the pressure which in turn forms earth’s gravitational field) a person is able to form or collapse a gravitational field within a single mass. The original experiment consisted of an almost twelve foot long wooden beam enclosed within a one foot square box twelve feet long, having large windows on each end and side ends. The wooden beam (a one and one-half inch diameter handrail) had a one and one quarter inch, eight ounce spherical lead weight embedded in each end. These were held in place with a good quality silicone compound. The beam was supported by a fourteen pound “Strein” mono filament line passing through a small hole in the top center of the enclosing box and wrapped around the beam once and tied. By wrapping the other end of the mono filament line (the total length of the line was about two feet) around a large cotter pin and using another to pass through the hole of the one containing the line around it, the beam was able to be suspended mid-way in the box. By twisting the cotter pins together, proper sideways adjustment was made.

Once suspended by the line and balanced, it took a few days for the beam to become absolutely still in the box (at times I had to wait a month to get one balanced properly). Numerous adjustments must be made before a person is able to get the beam to stabilize so it does not touch the box at any point. Temperature is able to cause motion in a wooden beam because the beam flexes unevenly. (I believed later that it was the tension of the suspending mono filament at the tied knot that caused the beam to move during temperature change. Then, even later, I realized that beam motion was due to Foucault motion. The earth was moving faster than the beam was able to change direction in.) It still would be a good idea to have a stable temperature when doing this experiment.

The following is the material used to form a variable gravitational field. A six inch diameter stainless steel cylinder, six inches high, with a wall thickness of one-quarter inch, having three-eighths inch stainless steel ends welded on (I used all stainless steel to be sure no magnetic fields were present). This formed the basic container that would do the actual work of making the beam move. Two (2), two inch, by one-quarter inch, by thirty inch, stainless steel straps were welded to the top and bottom of the container, one on each side. These formed the support for the container. These two straps were then welded at their other end to opposite sides of a six inch, by six inch, by three-eighths inch steel plate. The plate formed a platform on the ground, suspending the cylinder in the air by the two straps (the larger the physical size of the jack used the larger the size the bottom plate will have to be).

The bottom of the cylinder, that which pointed toward earth when standing on the six inch square steel base, had a one-half inch hole drilled in the center of it. A piece of stainless steel stock one and one-half inches in diameter, and two inches long, with a one-half inch hole drilled lengthwise through it, was fitted over the one-half inch hole in the bottom plate so both holes matched up. The stainless steel stock was then welded and reinforced with sufficient weld so it could not be moved even when great stress was applied at a right angle to it. This was the guide for a stainless steel rod that would be forced into the lead.

Next, a three-quarter inch by twenty inch stainless steel rod was machined to a one-half inch diameter, seven inches back from one end. A slight continuous taper toward the end was used, an eighth inch or so taper in the seven inches. The opposite end was left unmachined, becoming the end the jack pushed against. The taper caused the lead, when pressure was applied to the rod, to be forced at a right angle to the direction of applied force. The tapered rod needs to be heated to at least the temperature of the molten lead and placed into the lead while in that state. If you try and drill a hole for the rod to fit into after the cylinder has been filled with lead the experiment will not work. (At the time I wrote this paper I thought the experiment would not work unless the rod and molten lead were joined at the same temperature, but now I believe it may). The metal must be solidly formed around the rod all the way to the wall of the cylinder. (Should you wish to heat the lead while it is in the cylinder, plan on taking an hour to do so. The heating must be done slowly or molten lead may spurt out the hole. Never try heating the cylinder with the rod already seated in the lead, or the lead at the bottom before the top is molten). The rod needs to be inserted about four inches inside the cylinder with approximately one and one-half inch of machined rod showing. This length leaves room for the rod to be driven into the lead. A five ton jack was set on the bottom platform to push against the stainless steel rod, forcing it upward into the cylinder of yet heated lead when this experiment was performed. Should you wish to remove the rod from the cylinder after having once used it, you shall need to brace the cylinder in a vice and twist the rod with a large pipe wrench while pulling it out at the same time.

Heat the cylinder to near the melting point of lead, then heat the rod and place it in the molten lead and adjust its length. Let it harden in place for a few seconds away from the heat source, then quench the whole cylinder in cold water for a few minutes. The water assures that the mass is no longer molten and that the sides of the cylinder are cool enough that as the rod is forced upward the lead does not just flow around the sides of the cylinder and move downward. Place an insulator between the beam box and cylinder (this should be in place before the cylinder is moved to the beam site to begin the experiment. I used aluminum foil and draped it over the side of the box facing the cylinder to assure there were no convection currents being formed because of the closeness of the heated cylinder.

The cylinder was placed only about one inch away from the side of the beam box). Once the cylinder is in position (the center of the cylinder should be level with the lead sphere on the end of the beam) begin jacking the rod upward slowly. You shall soon feel the stiff resistance of the lead. Jack it upward a little more so you know the rod is being forced tightly into the lead. (That’s why you a five ton or greater jack. I used as much pressure as possible, at times bending the stainless steel rod). Wait for the beam end to begin moving toward the cylinder. A minute or two should suffice for you to see it begin moving. (When I performed this experiment it took the beam end two minutes to move one-half the distance of the width of the beam box containing it). Before you have gotten this far you might wish to mark a spot on the front glass for a beam movement reference point. A thread was draped over the front of the glass in line with the beam to mark beam movement at one time, (unnecessary) also shadow movement inside the box was noted in order to establish beam movement.

After the beam has once begun to move it shall accelerate more and more quickly toward the cylinder. The movement at this time shall be easy to determine. (Another tip is to have the beam end as far to the opposite side of the box as possible when you begin, but not at any point where either end ever touches the side of the box. I waited until the beam had been in the same position for at least twenty-four hours without any movement at all before I began the experiment). After the beam end has begun moving toward the cylinder you shall probably wonder if the beam would have begun moving if you had not applied pressure to the stainless steel rod (the torsion of the mono filament line is great enough that if the cylinder is left next to the box without any pressure applied to it the beam will not visibly move). Release the pressure from the stainless steel rod and wait a minute. The beam shall begin to visibly slow down, then stop. Slowly it shall begin moving back in the direction from which it had come due to the torsion of the mono filament line.

Due to the shrinkage of lead as it passes from a molten to solid state, a pocket of gas, or a vacuum, may form at the top of the cylinder (if there was a contaminate present). You shall know if this happens. When pressure is applied to the lead in the cylinder there shall not be the normal resistance. Also, the lead mass may break loose from the walls of the cylinder after the beam has begun to move, and the beam may begin returning to its original position even though the pressure of the jack had not been lessened by yourself. Just force the rod upward again and when the lead meets the top of the cylinder it shall be compressed once again with the same results as before. Beam movement is very slow at first so be patient.

A GRAVITATIONAL EXPERIMENT PERFORMED WITHIN TWO HOURS

There is manner by which it may be quickly demonstrated that the force of gravity is that which has an energy source. In this experiment a transparent four-foot high cylinder has a 10# mono filament line suspended from its top by a hook hanging from a plate that completely covers the top of the tube. A two-inch long plastic swing is suspended near the bottom of the cylinder at the end of the mono filament line, having a small mirror attached to each end (by having a mirror on each side of the swing the laser may be operated from either side. If it is known which side of the swing the laser will be used, only one mirror is needed). Then, on the side of the swing that shall be facing the lead filled cylinder, a lead weight is attached to the swing. (the lead weight on one side of the swing makes it more torsion sensitive. The weight I used was sheet lead so it could be formed around the top and sides of the swing, and weighed 49 grams, or nearly two ounces).

Resting the cylinder on a table, the mono filament hanging suspended from the top of it, adjust the cylinder as shown in illustration (the lead weight on the swing at a right angle to the lead filled cylinder). Directing the laser beam at a 30 degree angle to the mirror, or nearly so, focus it so the beam is reflected in a back and forth manner across the room you are in, mirror to mirror, for a total distance of 50 feet or more (the greater the distance the beam travels the greater the sensitivity). Set the experiment up in such manner you are able to see what is happening to the beam pattern and are able to make laser and mirror adjustments as necessary. If the laser beam were to be directed fifty feet away to a white surface, you would be too far away to accurately observe what was transpiring.

After the lead filled cylinder has been placed near the swing, and you are convinced that the mono filament will not twist due to the mutual attraction of the two lead masses, adjust the reflecting mirrors according to your individual situation. Set them in such manner that the beam is striking a white surface near you, (like plain white paper taped to the wall) so you may locate a specific light pattern. You will notice as you adjust the angle of the laser beam relative to the mirror that the light patterns on the white surface will change. What is happening is the laser beam is being refracted in the mirror so that reinforcement patterns develop. I deliberately cracked a small piece of mirror and used that location for a particular light design. The pattern continually changes with a change of mirror angle, so find a pattern you can recognize due to particular reenforcement traits and then let everything rest to be sure that the entire system is balanced.

Now, apply as much pressure as possible to the lead in the cylinder by use of a bottle jack (described in the previous experiment. During this experiment I used a 20 ton bottle jack). What you shall observe in the light pattern is an obvious shift in one direction. This obvious pattern shift should occur within a few minutes. After you are aware of the change, release the pressure on the lead contained within the cylinder and you shall soon see the pattern shift back to its original design. This, of course, is due to the tension of the mono filament returning the swing back to its original position.

What you have made by use of the small swing contained within the upright cylinder is a sensitive, horizontal gravimeter used in the detection of gravitational waves. There is nothing in the experiment that will set up a magnetic or electrostatic field that will account for the back and forth movement of the swing. Check it out for yourself. The only energy exerting a force at a right angle to the lead attached to the swing is that of the compressed lead. c2=E/m.

In the beginning ... (Story)

Beginning

There is nothing man uses that God did not create in the beginning.

"In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth." (Genesis 1:1). This is the beginning of beginnings for mankind and his thinking, and a fit way to see how the unexcelled wisdom of God prepared the physical world for man.

We take for granted the material world that is about us, along with the wisdom and understanding related to it. We consider the interrelating forces acting upon us as a part of normal living, but they are not forces brought into existence of themselves. Every force we use, and every force acting upon us, must have an origin. It is this concept that makes creation such an interesting event.

When God began creation it was with zero mass in existence, and zero electromagnetic energy (this latter form of energy covers all radiation from radio waves through visible light and on to cosmic radiation). God had to conceive the concept of mass before it could be made. He, who is Eternal, had to make something that was the opposite of what He is. This would be similar to you, by thought, forming a living, eternal being from nothing; not as a transient thought, but as an eternal fact all could see and examine. A more simple, leading act yet, would to be stand on the ceiling of the room you are in at present, having no physical means of support while doing so, instead of on the floor - which would also be similar to walking on water. Our inability to honestly perform a simple act as this shows how physically bound we are to this world that we did not make.

Created mass has to be a time entity, so it would not be eternal as is God. Were mass not a passing time structure, then mankind could not be redeemed from it. We would be as the angelic beings who fell from perfection due to evil intention, because Satan lied to them. Now these spirits have no manner by which they are able to be saved from an eternity of the same destruction as their leader faces. "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels..." Matthew 25:41.

The creature of God's creation (mankind) not only had to have limited existence, but had to be formed of diverse chemical properties so life could exist with all its complexity. Every chemical substance, many of which destroy or neutralize each other, must be composed of the same time factor as the rest of creation, even though they do not perform a function of equal energy, or time value. Man, being completely created of time, had to be composed of a like, single, inseparable, almost indivisible unit common to everything. Although it would appear diverse in appearance, in order for time, mass, and energy to function, it would be the basis of the physical universe.

Before creation could be brought about, the properties of energy forming mass, and then acting upon it, would have to be determined in an exact, precise manner, or the world which it was made up of would possibly destroy itself. This destruction could be due to too great a gravitational field forming, which field could force mass to compress too quickly into a planet or sun. (This would be a consideration were all things not instantly created in a moment of time). Inward compaction could cause the mass to fall inwardly at a rate that would convert it directly into electromagnetic energy in a large solar mass, thus forming a super atomic bomb (like a nova). The possibility would also exist that the destruction of mass could happen by too great a magnetic field. Or the end of earth might happen long after creation, when mankind tried out the first atomic and then hydrogen bombs. I suppose there are many such forces which, had mass not been carefully engineered, our physical world by now could have been destroyed.

Time has no limit to God, for He inhabits eternity apart from time. God spoke our world into existence, just as He spoke the trillions of stars into existence also. Instantaneously everything came into being. All creation was fully developed and with the right amount of light existent in limitless space so mankind could view that which had not existed but a second before, yet the time factor would be as though billions of years had elapsed since their beginning.

God does not do this to be deceitful, but man in time could not have waited for the light of creation to reach him or he would never have seen what had been done. The cosmic bodies, as the light between us and them does exist, for God is not deceitful. His Word says He knows the stars both by number and by name. This means He knows individual stars by what they are physically, as well as where they are spatially.

A person might say, "Why doesn't God reveal Himself physically, if it is His desire that we believe and trust His person?" God told Moses that no man would see His face and live. It is not a question of God being seen to realize His existence, it is one of us looking at what was created in the beginning of time and asking, was our world with its complex life forms brought about by chance, or were they designed; and if designed, then by whom?

Though God creates great galactic bodies of mass by speaking a word, so well does He know the scope of physical time relative to earth, every inhabitant who shall ever live was already known by Him before the act of creation took place, and He knows what they shall do upon Earth, and be in eternity. He also knows little things like the number of hairs on our heads! Thoughts as these become a constricting mental vice to man. In that we cannot comprehend such concepts, everything relative to them is subject to rejection. Our present reality allows us to perceive no further than the immediate jaws of physical realization allows, and we strain within that limitation. Do you think it is possible that the stars were created instantly on the fourth day of creation? Read the book of Genesis.

Mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. When this linear moving energy overlaps its own frequency it forms a minute speck called an electron. Multiples of electrons, or their multiple masses, then form protons and neutrons. The formation of mass by the existence of electromagnetic energy is the basis of mans physical existence (Christ was right when He called Himself the `light` of the world, for He is its Creator). Electromagnetic radiation gives all mass a common time bond. It is for this reason that this form of energy has an absolute velocity with there being no deviation from it (were a deviation of velocity to occur, then physical time would change at that location and the deviated mass would cease to exist in the time period it was in, but it would yet exist somewhere). This is the reason mass is considered to have its maximum velocity near the speed of light, but no greater than the speed of light. Moving at the speed of light, mass would convert into electromagnetic energy, losing two of its physical dimensions.

This brings us to the concept of time itself. What is time? What is it clocks measure so accurately, and yet men are so unaware of? Physical time is a velocity. It is a relationship between energy contained within mass and the velocity of the mass itself. A person is able to exchange time for energy if he wishes, in a small but very real sense. A person may go to work at thirty miles an hour and arrive in ten minutes, or they may drive at sixty miles an hour and arrive in five minutes. If a person moved at the speed of light, they could go around the world seven times and still arrive at work within one second. Furthermore, if a person went to the nearest star at the speed of light, and then immediately returned to Earth at the same speed, and they had begun the trip with warm coffee and warm toast, both would be just as warm when they returned nine years later as when they started. Time ceases to exist at the speed of light because physical existence is three dimensional, but the substance of it is one dimensional electromagnetic energy. Energy cannot associate with mass to give it any time or energy value other than what its basic value already is. So, then, physical time to mankind is always a velocity of some sort having an inherent time change by an increase or decrease of velocity.

A person is able to be slowed timewise by being within a moving spaceship. A person is able to be frozen timewise by being kept within liquid hydrogen also. Whereas in the speeding spaceship atomic movement is lessened due to energy being unable to function at right angles to the direction of travel, the body of a person frozen in liquid hydrogen has a change in time by a decrease of heat energy. (It is the same in concept as in a spaceship, but with heat energy time change is more localized). This is time change on a chemical level.

But once the body is thawed, atom vibration and interaction is free to take place once again, but instead of there being life in the body of a thawed out person, there shall only be rot. In the speeding spaceship, life does not leave the body, therefore deteroriation does not begin when a mass stops. So, we find the concept that heat energy is able to be equated with physical time also.

There is another kind of time system we do not consider as being such, but is so in the very purest form. This is the gravitational field of Earth. Our time field accelerates us toward the source of its point of origin at a rate of about twenty-two miles an hour at sea level. All acceleration of mass is due to an increase in frequency of mass in a particular direction. The greater the frequency and number of gravitons in a particular direction, the shorter the mass becomes in that direction of movement, for frequency forms the basis of energy as well as that of mass. It is for this reason the force of gravity attracts the heat energy within our planet toward its core point, as well as the mass. Were this condition not true, then our planet would become all one temperature throughout and everything would be incinerated. Energy is involved in producing the force of gravitation in earth just as energy is involved in accelerating a car. The energy within the core of earth is not seen performing its work in a direct manner, whereas the linear movement of a car evidences the kinetic energy within by evidence of its movement. Energy, itself, is never seen within any mass. Even what you consider as being visible heat energy is not such. What we observe is radiation given off by the heated mass, but the rapidly vibrating atoms within the mass, which are the actual energy actuators, are never seen.

It is this type of unseen energy that produces the force of gravity. This energy is never being expended within our planet so the gravitational field of earth does not change. The heat energy (though it is not really heat energy unless it has a heat sink to go to) in the core of earth draws the mass surrounding its great temperature into a spherical shape. It is for this reason stars, planets, and moons are spherical in shape. Were a mass to be large as our sun, and have no heat energy within its mass, it could assume any shape and maintain that shape until its mass was heated to a molten condition, at which time it would form into a sphere. The mass of earth is accelerating toward its core point atomically according to the increase of frequency, and yet the mass, to us, remains stationary. The inward acceleration of mass must be demonstrated in some manner though, so it is evidenced as a frequency-velocity wave apart from the electric and magnetic waves moving at right angles to its direction of travel. As this frequency of physical time (named a graviton) passes through a mass, its frequency acts as a time sink in the direction of its origin (which appears to be the reason why empty space is able to have a time value of its own, even apart from gravitons being existent within it). The graviton wave is less than one physical dimension as it relates with the world we know, which is the reason why it cannot be hindered or capped in any manner. Its energy value appears to be equal to one-third of the existence of the electromagnetic wave where it formed. It appears the magnetic, electric and velocity wave of a photon are all evidences of the same wave, and were the photon able to be at rest, it would be considered as being spherical also.

Earth's magnetic field was formed by giving our planet a spin. This unobtrusive force principally deflects small atomic particles arriving from our sun in order to help preserve life. (The spinning motion of earth generates a magnetic field, so does the spin of electrons. The direction of mass spin determines whether a pole will be negative or positive, in the electron the direction of its spin determines whether it shall be an electron or a positron).

To understand how this works, we need to consider the reason for the geometric shape of Earth being a sphere. Should earth be rod or plate shaped, and should we rotate that mass, we should find the energy relationships remain the same throughout about the length of its axis, so the formation of any external energy field apart from its mass could not exist. A planet rod or plate shaped would have no magnetic field even though they had a great rate of spin. The formation of mass into a sphere implies a hot interior of that mass. When a sphere is rotated there is greater angular energy at the equator than at the poles. This energy change continually builds as one moves from either pole toward the equator. The greater energy at the equator is due to an increase of mass velocity at this location as compared with that of the poles.

Because mass and energy are not the same direct entity, even though they have the capacity to be interchangeable, they need not move in the same direction. When the energy of rotation of two hemispheres meet at an equator, as in earth, they are moving in opposite direction of rotation, for they are mirror images of each other. The force of rotation within our planet forms a fifty foot rise of mass in the southern hemisphere, at the equator, which does not exist in the northern hemisphere at the equator. The resistance mass offers to the movement of energy in the southern hemisphere is what causes this rise. It is much like a dam offering resistance to water coming down a river - the waters rise behind the dam's resistance to its movement.

The concept of two opposing forces extending from the poles to the equator, thus forming the Coriolis force, also becomes the basis of two other forces - the electric and the magnetic fields of earth. The electric field of earth is formed through the equator by the action of the Coriolis force. Because the core of earth is extremely hot (relative to ourselves) a plasma core is formed through part of it. The plasma segment cannot exist all the way through our planet, for the very inner core is too dense to allow for electron movement through that part of the equator. This internal potential heat energy forms a time state different than our own too. According to physical time difference, between ourselves and the core point of our planet, there exists a 15.4 day time variation. When opposing lines of force cut through a plasma, a vast electric current is generated. The electric current then generates a magnetic field at right angles to itself, which is why the north an south poles are formed as exact opposites. Were earth to spin the opposite direction from what it presently does, then the north and south poles of our planet would change positions. Were an electron to begin spinning in an opposite direction from what it presently does, the electron would become a positron.

It seems God has made the atom itself in an unusual manner, such as one would not expect. For it appears that for every 1836 electrons, or their mass equivalents, a proton is able to form. Once a proton is formed, then one electron has the ability to exist within the bounds of these 1836 bound waves, whose frequencies exactly match its own. There are four different possible electron spin states, which degree of spin determines the velocity of an electron as it moves about from node to node. (Degree of tilt is relative to the core point. The four spin states form the subshells, each with its own unique spin state being repeated over and over in every shell). Nodes of frequency hold the electron on its course at a right angle to the center point of the atom, the electron following a course from node to node. For every 1836 electron equivalent masses used to form a proton, a node is formed, which allows one more electron easy entry into the atom.

The interesting concept about this atomic theory is that the entire nucleus of an atom extends to its furthest reaches. As far outward from the core point as there are electrons, there is also the nucleus itself. This would mean there are electrons moving within the very innermost part of a heavy element, as uranium, with the same precision as do electrons in its very outermost location. It shall be interesting to see the different engineering principles God has already used, and can form, once we reach eternity. Though what he has made on Earth is great, God is eternal, and so is the wisdom and understanding He has used to create with.

Then, did you know Earth is hollow? So are the other planets, as is our moon, and the sun. The earth has a hollow within of approximately one and one-half miles across, while that of the sun is 800 miles across. This inner distance in a solar mass is where a gravitational field would accelerate a mass to, and then beyond the speed of light, in one second. The end result of this concept is that, because mass cannot exist in these regons, there never could have been a "big bang". Solar matter could not have formed into a mass much larger than the size of own moon without forming a hollow core within. The "big bang" is an impossibility. It could never have existed, and neither can there exist "black holes" within the universe, in order to explain the "90% missing mass". Were "black holes" to actually exist, there would, at present, be one within the core point of our planet, and most especially within our own sun.

We see, then, that in the beginning, God did a marvelous feat of engineering just in establishing the basis for our physical existence. He worked this out by use of a single entity - the photon, and using a single geometric shape - the sphere.

Man still must have a lot to learn about these two simple concepts. In our simplicity of thought we consider these things as a "must exist as is" entity, but that is not true. God says earth has different "foundations" and that He forms both the light and the darkness - how can that be? He sits on the circle of Earth beholding all the inhabitants - how is that done? I have no idea, but I do know that everything man learns he learns from that which was already done "In the beginning".

New idea about the formation or earth's magnetic field

2005-11-01T12:13:00.000-06:00

The new concept in explaining earth’s magnetic field is supposed to be found by allowing that an iron core within earth spins slightly faster than the planet itself. It’s supposed to come out in the magazine “Science” this coming month. Likely many people question the validity of this concept due to the natural breaking action due to friction between the two units.

The obvious reason for a planet having a magnetic field is found in the total mass of the planet having a spin. In The Bones of Time, © 1979, by Duane Ertle, we come across the following in the chapter concerning Magnetism:

“Because mass and energy are not always the same direct entity, even though they have the potential to be interchangeable, mass and energy need not move in the same direction in a single spherical mass. Illustrating that mass and energy do move in opposite directions within spinning, spherical mass may be seen by dividing a Styrofoam sphere in half through its equator, then marking each inner- face with arrows pointing in the direction the mass would be moving if joined back together as a sphere.

“Once a Styrofoam sphere has been divided, check the arrows to be sure they are pointing in the proper direction. Now take one hemisphere and place the face of it directly in front of the face of the other. You shall find the arrows are not pointing in the same direction but opposite each other. The ENERGY OF ROTATION of one hemisphere cannot directly take the place of the energy of rotation within the opposite hemispherical mass.

“So what?” may be your response. But there is a definite meaning to the arrows pointing in opposite directions. If we considered mass movement only then the concept of arrows pointing in opposite directions in order to indicate movement of angular energy would have no meaning. For a person could say the arrows were pointing the way they did because one hemisphere face was turned about so it was opposite to what it normally would be. But energy hemispheres (hemiforces) moving in apparent, opposite directions in a sphere are actually moving in the same direction as they relate face to face with each other.

“Our planet has two identical forces of the same magnitude moving toward the same plane passing through its equator, but from opposite directions. There at the equator the forces meet and mesh, with each hemisphere of energy having an opposite spin to the other, thus they form a strong shearing force throughout the plane of the equator. The shear force becomes greater as one moves outward from the core point due to the increased velocity of the spinning mass. When a strong shearing action occurs through the equator of our planet a great electrical current is generated through its plasma in the exact same area as the shear action. It is this electrical current, which is continuously being activated due to the spin of our planet, that generates the magnetic fields at right angles to it. Were earth to stop spinning then our planet's electrical fields would vanish. The spin of our planet also demonstrates why one pole is negatively charged and the other a direct opposite, positively charged. Our planet’s polarity is due to opposite forces of moving energy within each hemisphere. (A person can also see why planet Venus has such a small magnetic field compared to that of earth. Venus has almost no spin to its mass. Conversely, planet Jupiter, which has a great spin to its great mass, has a magnetic field that can be destructive to spacecraft that stay near it for too long a period of time). Furthermore, there is physical evidence that energy of rotation within the southern hemisphere moves opposite to that of the northern one. There is a fifty-foot rise in mass at the equator, in the southern hemisphere, that does not exist in the northern hemisphere at the equator. The rise of mass in the southern hemisphere is due to the resistance that that hemiforce offers the mass moving in opposition to it. It is interesting that God is able to make such massive forces, which are able to pass through us, that do us no harm, and yet act upon the vast mass of the entire planet and beyond.”

If the iron core of earth were to be spinning slightly faster than the mass of earth itself, and that iron core was requisite in the formation of our magnetic field, then what forms the overall magnetic field of our sun? According to the evolutionists, isn’t our sun supposed to have a hydrogen core, being converted into helium kind of motor, that drives the heating up of that mass? It can’t be both ways. Or can it be that there is more than one kind of magnetic generator in a large solar mass?

The cosmologists, so far as I know, still haven’t addressed what happens to the core mass of earth within the 0.717 mile location from the center of our planet, and the 400 mile point of that of our sun. In both of these bodies the inner location has gravitational forces, that were a mass to be dropped there, the mass would accelerate to a speed greater than the speed of light in one second. How can a mass exist where it would be greatly exceeding the speed of light? Have an instructor figure it out and then explain to you how it is possible!

Nope, it still doesn’t work. People who will not accept the obvious way things work are left only with that which obviously does not work. It’s like the complexity of mankind being left to accident. This would indicate that “random anything” (for that would be the basis of our existence according to evolution) is greater than design.

Time structure of the solar system

The Time Structure of the Solar System

(c) 1979, D. Ertle

Physical time is a physical reality. What clocks, watches, and our lives measure is an internal, common velocity existent between all objects, which objects ultimately relate directly to the speed of light. Because matter is composed of electromagnetic energy, and that inherent velocity is existent and maintained even when formed into mass, everything in our physical world relates directly to that speed and with each other. Were part of Earth’s mass composed of electromagnetic energy that moved a mile a second slower than that which our world is now composed of, then that mass could not relate to any part of our sensed universe. Even our present physical time, as we view it, does not exist as we conceive of our world existing from day to day and minute to minute. Reality exists no longer than that of a thought and then it exists no longer. Nor can it ever exist again exactly as it was. Time is continually being reformed even while we watch it. “Present time” passes from the future to the past, literally, at the speed of light. Were our universe to unravel, the entire starry host and all forms of matter would instantly become one dimensional by reason of their internal, linear motion. The heavenly host are in relation to physical time, one dimensional at present, but have the appearance of three dimensions, because that is what we who observe them are. Mass presents the illusion of a durable three-dimensional reality. Our world and universe were made to be destroyed with there being nothing left after its destruction that would have an eternal, enduring quality other than the souls and spirits of mankind, which are not formed of temporal mass.

This may seem sort of a pessimistic and fatalistic statement of itself but it is not meant to be. For those who have all their hope and joy in this world it can be nothing else. For those who believe in an eternal world to come it is what they would expect, and such people shall rejoice when a new Heaven and Earth are created at the end of the use of this one. “And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth: for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away and there was no more sea … And He that sat upon the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 21:1 & 21:5.

God does mention a few things about the formation of our present physical universe and world in sort of a passing manner. I would like to bring what I know of one of these comments to your attention, seeking to demonstrate through physical observation that what the Bible says is often verified in the world we see and learn about. I would like to point out that “scientists” who study the universe have determined that they are missing ninety percent of its observable mass. It has recently been thought that perhaps the missing mass was in form of “dark matter” so it could not be seen. The Hubble Telescope has not found the missing matter. This statement is not meant to ridicule the judgment of those who have been looking for the missing mass, for it, apparently, is missing. There just is not enough mass evidenced for the distance the furthest stars and galaxies are away from us. There are a lot of empty spaces that should have some mass in them, while galaxies appear to have too little mass for their rate of spin. But where is it? It is interesting this missing mass is one thing God does speak of in the book of Isaiah. It is as though He had it all planned out, that the newly realized missing mass and His answer in the following statement are for a wake up call to the people of this age. Before them is physical and Biblical evidence that we do live in a “created” world, which in turn fits into a “created” universe. “Thus saith God the LORD, He that created the heavens, and stretched them out; He that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; He that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein…” Isaiah 42:5. To take a look at the unlimited majesty of God by means of the written word, read the book of Isaiah all the way through some time.

God gives the order in which earth and the heavens were created but it isn’t what is taught in most schools today. First, He created Earth. Then, on the fourth day, (literal twenty-four hour period as we know it) He created the sun, moon and stars. After the stars had been created He stretched them out. He accelerated them all away from the point where they were created. The starry host is yet accelerating away from earth, as is evidenced by a longer shift of light frequency reaching us from them. It is because of the obvious indication of their movement away from us that the “Big Bang” theory has so much support. But God said four thousand years ago that he had stretched them out. The reason He accelerated them outward as He did I do not know. It may have been to give empty space a negative time value that would hide His Heaven from our sight, even though that world is before and about us at all times. If we are in a different mass frequency than the angelic host, and it is obvious we are in that condition in some manner, then to our senses that host of beings would not exist. Heaven, though, must exist having a time structure of some sort. If this were not true, then all things would happen at the same instant or they would not happen at all. Still, God is the Lord and He does with time and events as He wills, whether we understand them or not.

The second thing I would like to speak of is the time structure within the innermost core point of the large bodies of our solar system, and I am going to begin speaking of them in an unusual manner. If you remember in Luke 16:19-31, there is the story of Lazarus and the rich man. This story I believe to be literal for it is the only time Jesus used the proper name of a person in a story to teach others, and He, being God, knows all the names and facts.

These two men, the rich one likely revered for being so “successful” and the other poor one, the dogs licking his sores, being obviously despised, found after they had died that they were in reverse states of existence. It was not what others thought of them at that point that formed their opinions, it is what they realized of themselves. Lazarus was in Paradise with Abraham, whom all Jews declare to be their father, and where all Jews wish to be when they leave this life. We do not know if Lazarus was a Jew or gentile. He could have been either, for God allowed the gentiles to join the Jewish nation and come under the Abrahamic Covenant. The rich man was obviously a Jew for he called Abraham "Father Abraham". The point here is not the nationality of these two men, rather their position in the depth of earth and their relative relationship to each other. They were able to see each other and converse with each other. At least Abraham and the once, long ago, rich man did. The once rich man desired intently relief from the pain he was suffering, but Abraham said there was a great gulf between them so no person could pass from one place to the other in order to help another. This would imply that the force of gravitation could be an operative entity in keeping spirits, as well as our present bodies, where God wishes them to be. This is also seen in the book of Revelation when Satan is cast into the “bottomless pit” from whence he cannot escape because he is both bound and sealed (Revelation 20:1-3). It is to the prospect of there being a bottomless pit, or void space within earth where spirits are forced to exist, that I would like to speak to.

The following are acceleration values I got for the surface and core point locations of earth and other solar bodies, which values a person would not expect to find as they moved downward. Planet earth has a void within its core diameter, which void is about one and one-half miles in diameter, where physical mass cannot exist. This shall become evident when we find within our planet’s core, as all the others to be later mentioned, a space where physical mass would be accelerating beyond the speed of light were it to be in that particular location. Because mass cannot exceed the speed of light, and the possibility exists that electromagnetic energy may be torn into its smallest components due to gravitational shear force acting at all angles to its path of travel, the only entity capable of existing in such a void may be gravitons. These are themselves unaffected by any form of energy known to man, even an intense gravitational field. (This most basic form of energy, if it were indeed electromagnetic energy converted into its lowest possible form due to passing through the core point of our planet, would likely become an electric graviton and a magnetic graviton). You shall notice that there is a 15.4 day, physical real-time, time difference between the core point of earth and us who live on its surface. 15.4 days, is the actual, physical time relationship between these two points as measured relative to the speed of light. Then notice the time difference between the core point of the sun and a mass on that surface. It is measured in thousands of years! The core point void within our sun, where gravitons alone are likely able to exist, is 800 miles across, and there are stars much more massive than our sun, which stars inner void point area must be tremendous. This does mean, though, that stars have a limitation to their size in relation to their gravitational field, for the void point area within a mass cannot be greater than the mass itself. Having this concept in mind, it becomes obvious that it is physically impossible for the “Big Bang” theory, which attempts to explain the origin of our physical existence, to have ever occurred. That hypothetical event never did happen, nor can that great mass condition ever be brought to pass. Mass could not begin to form into such an object as is required for that event. The following is how acceleration values worked out for our planet, demonstrating how quickly these limiting acceleration values form in heavenly bodies:

· 3,950 miles outward from our core point, mass is accelerating at 32.4 feet every second per second.

· 1,500 miles outward from our core point, mass is accelerating at 224.7 feet every second per second.

· 100 miles outward from our core point, mass is accelerating at 50,557.91 feet every second per second.

· 10 miles outward from our core point, mass is accelerating 957.53 MILES PER SECOND PER SECOND. This is how fast a mass, ten miles from the very center of earth, would fall in a single second were it to be held up by someone and then let go.

· 0.717 miles outward from the core point of out planet, mass is accelerating at 186, 258.84 miles per second per second. At this distance from the core point of earth, were a mass released to fall, it would accelerate to almost the speed of light in one second. Mass is able to exist up to a point near the speed of light, but when the frequency force of the gravitons accelerating it cause that mass to attain a velocity equal to the speed of light, then that mass must convert into electromagnetic radiation. It, then, is no longer a mass.

At the very core point of earth, if a mass were able to exist there, which it cannot, that mass would be accelerating at 1.3093071 x 10 15 feet per second. But let’s carry this out to a workable conclusion. Dividing this number by 5,280 would give us physical time in relation to how many miles a mass at this location would accelerate in relation to us who live 3,950 miles above it in miles per second = 2.4797482 x 10 11. Dividing 2.4797482 x 10 11 by 186,284 gives in absolute time multiples how far light travels in a second in relation to us who reside on the surface = 1,331,154.57. Dividing this by 60 would tell us how many absolute physical minutes existed between earth point and ourselves = 22,186.09. This divided by 60 would give hours in absolute physical time = 369.76. Lastly, dividing this by 24 gives us the physical time difference in easily understood days between ourselves and the core point of earth = 15.4.

That isn’t all of it. At the very core point of earth, where all the gravitons pass through, this shear force of 15.4 days absolute physical time is tearing in every possible direction. Likely even electromagnetic energy could not exist within this small, physical, geometric area. That’s the amazing thing about God making gravitons. Because they pass through unlimited dimensions of mass and energy with no hindrance to their velocity, and they cannot interact with each other, they are able to exist within this region as easily as in outer space. Now consider the force that absolute physical time has when compounded, and how it is a physical entity - though always in passing.

The following are physical real-time values for different objects in our solar system and what their surface acceleration time is, then the acceleration value at their core point:

· Sun, surface acceleration is 892.13 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is a 13,903.87 years difference in absolute real-time.

· Mercury, surface acceleration is 10.88 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 20.30 hours.

· Venus, surface acceleration is 26.54 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 9.28 days.

· Earth, surface acceleration is 32.4 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 15.4 days.

· Earth moon, surface acceleration is 5.32 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 4.54 days

· Mars, surface acceleration is 11.85 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 1.64 days.

· Jupiter, surface acceleration is 79.88 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 13.27 years.

· Saturn, surface acceleration is 33.87 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 5.95 years.

· Uranus, surface acceleration is 26.45 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 221.86 days.

· Neptune, surface acceleration is 35.45 feet per second per second. The core point acceleration is 257.6 days.

· Pluto was not determined.

As great as the potential heat energy is within any of these bodies, it is only potential energy that is in balance. Our planet has a great deal of potential energy in relation to the mass of the sun and its attraction for us, but it is only a potential state. Also, the moon could fall on our planet and crush a large area of Earth’s surface, but it is only a potential. Mass atoms distorted in geometric shape to moving near the speed of light, exist as having no more potential heat energy resident with them, as they directly relate to each other, than we do with each other. But, were you to shake the hand of a visitor from the planet Pluto, you would vaporize that part of the person and they would instantly freeze that part of you because of the great heat potential between the two of you. Also, were you to be in a speeding spaceship in outer space, and be zipping along at the speed of light minus two miles per second, and were you to throw a rose petal out a spacecraft window, that soft object to you would be a potential atomic bomb to anything else it touched not moving at near its speed in the direction it was traveling. Potential heat energy within the core of the sun, as the core of earth, is all directly relative to the mass containing it. And, interestingly, the inner core mass of our solar systems’ planets are accelerating inward at the speed of our illustrated rose petal.

So, we’ve reached a conclusion. It can happen. There can be a bottomless pit, and God did know what He had His prophets write four thousand years ago. That shouldn’t really seem too strange. After all, He was the One who created it!

The limitation of time

2005-10-17T12:54:00.000-05:00

The Limitation of Time

The reason for writing this short paper is that people do not understand what time is.

There are three manners of considering time: 1. As a physical reality - that which is common to all mankind and his physical world. 2. Subjectively - considering time as it directly relates to us. 3. Eternal - that which continues to have existence after all else has ceased to exist as dimensional reality.

1. As physical reality all time is a velocity. It is the speed of common light (electromagnetic energy) in all its varied forms. The reason this value is so important is due to its being the foundation of all physical existence. When eme (electromagnetic energy) moves through empty space, it all moves with the same speed. When eme at very high frequency is formed into mass by the overlapping of its frequency upon itself, that same energy that was once free to move about the universe at a great speed now has as its place of movement a very small space. Because it is confined to a very small volume of space, does not mean it no longer moves at the same speed as when it was “free” to move in a straight line. Electrons are direct products of electromagnetic energy, and their being formed into neutrons and protons form our physical world. The unraveling of this state of existence is demonstrated when a nuclear bomb is detonated. That which is evidenced, is electromagnetic energy unraveling from its confinement. This energy in turn heats the air about the explosion and that outward expanding air forms the destructive wave blast that destroys objects. When an atomic bomb is detonated in outer space, though, there is only the release of electromagnetic energy and small atomic particles that did not have time to unravel - and that’s it.

Electromagnetic energy is able to form mass as well as come from it. This is seen when a high frequency eme wave nears the inner part of an atom and converts into a negative and positive electron. That which was once eme becomes dimensional mass. It is this inner speed of electrons, which in turn form neutrons and proton, that all clocks measure.

When a mass begins moving in any direction, it begins to attain to the speed of its existence. The speeds we move about at are so slow that all directions have little relevancy to the actual speed of light, and all objects are able to easily equate to a clock common to all mankind. All clocks measure existence in relation to the internal speed of light within a mass, which is why it matters not whether the clock is the sun, moon, earth’s rotation, a candle, hourglass, grandfather clock and on and on. In all instances, from the atomic frequency of a very accurate clock to an hourglass, everything in the physical world measures time relative to the speed of light, for light comprises all physical objects. It is for this reason that it is expressed that a person is able to travel to a distant star at the speed of light and then return back to their starting point with little physical "clock time" having lapsed. The person has moved to near the actual speed of physical light and so their physical time no longer has the same relevancy to others. For the moving person at near the speed of light, their existence becomes the standard by which all other masses relate to as being actual, ultimate, physical time. Which means that a person being composed of electromagnetic energy is really, also, themselves, physical time. If the physical composition of a person is physical time, it is easy to understand why they cannot escape to either the future or past.

Were a person to move to the speed of light, there would be no physical existence at all. That person and physical time would become one and the same entity. There would no longer exist any difference in time. All clocks at that speed, of any sort, would all read the same, and there would never be a time difference between any of them. Time everywhere and always would be the value of “c” and the hands and numbers (in reality hands and numbers could not really exist, nor could any physical concept) would never change - never. Of course, that would not be true if any of the energy were to be reformed into mass once again. For at that point the mass would be moving in any one direction at less than the value of “c” so it and all other objects could relate to each other once again in a three dimensional fashion at a speed less than that of eme. The once speeding linear energy would once again be susceptible to observable motion at less than that of the speed of light, and so could have clocks tell how it related to other masses as they mutually accelerated and decelerated in relation to the speed of light.

2. The second part of time is that which we are most acquainted with. The problem with expressing this segment to people at large is that every person is a universe unto himself or herself. That which is common to one person’s thinking is not to another. Every one is one. Every world is different in thought to that of the next. There are individual values placed upon every person from time of birth to that of death, which places them as different from all others. Because of this kind of existence, it is impossible for any one manner of thought to be acceptable to all, for all do not understand and relate to our world as do others. Some focus on color, some sound, some feel, some exist in a world of their own making - such as drugs afford, which form of thought-reality is destructive to the person using them. A drug addict exists in a “real” physical world but under a delusion that makes their mind think outside of physical reality. They “think” in a world not common to all, and their delusion becomes destructive because it physically rubs against reality. It is commonly expressed that those who use alcohol cause half of the fatal car accidents. Such people act stupid and drive stupid because that is the stupid world they are in when they drink and drive

This kind of different thinking is also seen in a different manner through the lives of those that look at the real world and decide to examine and live within specific limitations of it. Those interested in music and art, study what actually exists, and seek to form what is a delight to them and present it as a common experience that will be of benefit to others. In this manner their examination of the real world becomes a delight to others because they, having also had common experience of the physical world, are able to directly relate to what they learn that is newly expressed. Music is the expression of the soul, and if the person writing the music has a disturbed soul, then that is what the music will sound like. If the person relates music to the harmony of nature, and they express that flow of thought in a mutually understood manner, the music will be music to all.

Years ago I wrote a book, “To Share Thoughts …” in which I wrote of the influence nature has as being a form of music. I am going to quote that work:

Music
Were a person to meet an alien, much could be determined about it by the kind of music it liked.

Music is an expression of the soul of man. People who are in a hurry, and who are active, enjoy the fast beat of traveling music. The rapid tempo, the louder volume, and perhaps extra beats thrown in, all add up to produce an excitement of the moment in the mind and emotions of a person. Because music moves one's emotions, people wish to express that which they feel within, so they begin clapping their hands or tapping their foot in time to the music. Often, as people become older, and their energy level decreases, the fast music is not as appealing as are the slower works they once thought very mundane. Their thoughts, as their natural expression of body, are a reflection of the decreased inner drive that can be portrayed by music. But, whether young or old, the pure enjoyment of inwardly participating in different kinds of music is a manner by which all people express themselves.

Music, though, is not always that of an instrument found in the band or orchestra. For what is music to mankind other than his relationship with waves of sound transmitted by air? Man responds, through the medium of air, to the instrument that produces waves of "music".

But God has instruments and an orchestra too, that are played in a manner most amazing. We find this in the wind section of a hurricane as it is accompanied by the rolling thunder of the drums, keeping cadence to the flashing baton of lightning strokes, as the black, green-grey garbed audience of majestic clouds witness the scene and silently applaud. The procession passes over the waters, the persuasive notes causing waves to raise their white-gloved hands in unison, then crash together according to the tempo and force of the music which so intensely arouses them to action. The tempo after a time drops, the waves no longer respond to the inner calling of the Song of The Wind. The players that had such an interest in the score before them suddenly have an interest in a promenade found in another part of the world, and they, as their audience, depart.

Then begins a Song of Serenity. The sea becomes quiet and the air still; the only motion being that found in the reflection of sunlight from a wavelet whose origin is unknown. Soon the surface of the ocean is completely still. The Sound of Serenity is reverberating its single, lasting magical note. Rest and quiet cover all. Everything intensely listens to the single note that sends out its continuing, languid presence to all the world about it.

Then, above these majestic displays of music and musical art, God plays The Music of The Universe. The brilliance of our sun completely dominates our world just as music fills a room, or space, with its delicate bits of fleeting existence. Planets, moons, and asteroids move about the stage of our solar system according to the dictates of this warming, life-giving orb that has become the head conductor of all attuned to its waves of time. They, being ordered by a baton seen clearly but by themselves, play notes heard only by an attuned ear. Waters rise, plants grow and other forms of life perform their assigned movement to its melody as long as they are encouraged to do so by its presence. Then, when darkness and winter arrive, these rest. Waters freeze and plants retire to the wing rooms of deep earth, as other forms of life, too, seek places of quiet repose.

The song of The Long Winter's Night then begins. The risen, crystal clear curtains open one's view to the cold light of brilliant, distant stars whose tremulous, feeble notes reflect the divine-sent message from the surface of graceful, white drifts of snow. While rising with quiet dignity, the Luminous Monarch of The Night sounds forth his lines above his fellow musicians, playing a concerto of hope and love especially sent for the young.

Man plays instruments he understands due to his ability to manipulate them, and man plays songs according to his understanding and emotions. God also plays instruments according to His understanding and His ability. Man plays a few notes at a time; God directs orchestras by the trillions at the same instant. Yet, there is not one note played that clashes with another while yet maintaining harmonic beauty and perfection of time. Each song is to the beat perfect in its own time, and the ever changing score endless. From noon to midnight, then back to noon, there are numerous Songs of Perfection, all being played at the same time, serenading those willing to listen. But should those who listen not catch all the notes, nor understand at what moment they are to applaud, the lack of musical appreciation lies with the audience and not the Conductor. Later, I believe later, He shall teach both.

It is not that the reality is nonexistent, it is that we need to perceive what exists and then translate that correctly into what has common meaning and actual reality to all. In this sense it is easy to see that each of us is a world to ourselves. Each has their own manner of thought. Each their own idea as to what reality and time is. What fills your mind is what your reality is, or is becoming. Proverbs 16:3 states “Commit (roll) your works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Being in tune with this world, in a way that includes God, will cause your thoughts to begin being settled (established) in a correct manner. This thought now leads to the third part of time. That as it relates to that of eternity.

3. Time and eternity - how do they relate? Physical, real time, is surrounded by the eternal. Time is like a small boat upon an endless ocean that goes on forever and ever, no matter what direction a person takes. Of course for this to be accurate in the literal sense, that same ocean would have to extend above and below the boat as well, but it is easier to think in terms of a flat ocean.

In that time fits into that of eternity, eternity is the greater of the two. Eternity was before that of time. This is evident in that time has limitation by its very definition while that of eternal does not. In that the eternal was before that of time, and time has come from the eternal, it is a wise thing to consider what values the eternal may have upon that of time. As we have value placed upon that of time, what value may the eternal have upon ourselves? Are we here by accident? Has the creation of our world, and mankind upon it, been an exercise in futility?

Let’s consider where the boat upon the face of the waters is headed. No matter what direction it goes the end of it is the same. Whether it is a speedboat or a raft, it would make no difference. If it were to go a million miles or stay where it originally was, it would still be in the same place. This is the position of mankind at present. No matter what is done, the result is going to be the same - every one of us is going to leave this life and return to the Eternal existence. Time is going to be destroyed - whether “now or then” it’s all the same. If we become ruler of a great land, or if we wind up as the lowest of the low, time ends for all. Whether at a young age or old age, we are as the boat upon the waters. No matter what is done in what manner, the end is but a curtain call from the beginning.

We have been made intelligent beings. The most common garden variety mind of a human being is still greater than the best computer today. How is it possible that a thing so well engineered as ourselves is able to have no meaning other than our eventual destruction? We have been made to relate to the Eternal at present. Then pass onto that eternal state and forever remain there, as would a mass remain in an eternal state of “no time” were it to reach the speed of light. There have been limitations and restrictions placed upon mankind for his own good, and where mankind refuses to acknowledge these restrictions, he becomes as the alcoholic that lives in a world of his own making, to the destruction of himself and others. The message from that which is Eternal has not been silent, and mankind has not been silent in proving the Eternal as being correct.

How long have wars been waged, and what has been the eventual outcome of all of the warring? Where are the winners and losers of the war of 1776? How about the Civil War of the early 1860’s? Both sides have had their “boats” disappear into eternity. All that remains is the influence they had for good and evil imprinted upon us at present. But they, themselves, are gone. Was what they gained and lost worth what they had to do in order to get it? Were their acts in tune with that of eternity, as they existed in time, so that when they reached the eternal state they found that they were in agreement with the laws of the Creator and not directly opposing Him?

There are three quick thoughts that will help you to understand how to relate to that which is eternal at present, and live according to the dictates of the Creator:

1. Read your Bible. It is the source book of Wisdom and understanding. Nations have risen and fallen according to the prophecy of this book.
2. Love God (your Creator) first. The greater this is accomplished in your life, the more content you shall find yourself with the thought of your eventual passing into eternity.
3. Treat others as you would like them to treat you.

This is like an overview of what and why physical time is. The rest has to be filled by each one.

The problem and repair of relativity

2005-10-17T12:51:00.000-05:00

THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR OF RELATIVITY (C) 2004, Duane Ertle

In order to introduce the problem, I am going to quote a few sentences from a book "The Universe and Dr. Einstein," by Lincoln Barnett, published in 1960 by Mentor Books. The quotes are from pages 61 and 63 respectively.

The first concept involves that of mass.

"In its popular sense, mass is just another word for weight. But used by the physicist, it denotes a rather different and more fundamental property of matter: namely, resistance to a change of motion. A greater force is necessary to move or stop a freight car than a velocipede; the freight car resists a change in its motion more stubbornly than the velocipede because it has greater mass. ... But Relativity asserts that the mass of a moving body is by no means constant, but increases with its velocity relative to an observer. In short, energy has mass!"

Next, we need to look at the reason for this belief.

"By further deduction from his principle of Relativity of mass, Einstein arrived at a conclusion of incalculable importance to the world. His train of reasoning ran somewhat as follows: since the mass of a moving body increases as its motion increases, and since motion is a form of energy (kinetic energy), then the increased mass of a moving body comes from its increased energy. ..."

Now I am going to quote a paragraph from "The Bones of Time," copyrighted in 1978 by Duane Ertle, it is from the chapter "Flexible Time."

"The reason a fast moving mass is so difficult to stop, or have a direction change in, is due to its becoming frozen in a linear manner so energy cannot pass through its total volume as happens when it is at rest. When a mass moves at one-hundred thousand miles a second, the energy existent and having potential movement at right angles to its direction of travel could be at most a distance of eighty-six thousand miles a second. When moving at the speed of light minus two feet per second, the potential energy existent at right angles to its forward motion would only be two feet in one second. At the speed of light the mass would convert from being a three-dimensional object and would become a single beam of high energy photons streaking through space, all existing in only one dimension. Obviously there would be zero energy potential at right angles to the direction of travel."

Moving mass does not acquire additional mass as it moves. Atomic matter is composed of waveform. As electromagnetic energy (a wave) has differing energy values so, also, does mass at different speeds have an overall differing waveform. The waveform is derived from the moving mass itself, as energy at right angles to direction of travel decreases in line density with movement, and transfers a proportional amount of that frequency toward the direction of travel. In this sense greater mass is being added to the forward motion of the mass at the expense of the energy/mass at right angles to it.

There is an expression that deals with frequency density and an increase of energy as the lines of frequency increase. The expression in question says that E=hf. The energy of an electromagnetic wave is equal to that of a very small numerical constant times the frequency of the wave. The greater the frequency of the wave, the more energy the electromagnetic wave would have. Radio waves may have very long peak-to-peak distances of thousands of meters, while cosmic radiation is able to have its frequency so compressed that it acts as dimensional mass, and there may be trillions of frequencies, or waves within a single meter. Now consider how the frequency at right angles to direction of movement changes from having great potential in those directions, toward having less, thus giving up mass/energy potential. Energy, in form of greater frequency, converts to an overall change of mass, or as some would say, "... resistance to a change of motion."

The concept of E=hf is an equation that works for three different elements of nature:

1. E=hf, is an equation that describes why electromagnetic energy has greater and lesser energy values. Radio waves have very little energy value, while gamma and cosmic radiation have a great deal. And it all is dependent upon wave frequency and the density of that wave in a particular space.

2. mk=hf, (mass kinetic energy, equals hf) describes why mass shrinks to an observer as it moves. Because mass is composed of electromagnetic energy, it has the same wave values as electromagnetic energy, but in a very condensed manner. Electromagnetic energy remains in three-dimensional space in form of standing waves, yet having the same linear value of 186,000 mps all the while. Like a runner on a racetrack traveling all the while at that great speed. The same distance is traveled, just not in a straight line. As long as the velocity value within mass maintains the value of "c" it does not matter how small the "race track" becomes.

The, mk=hf, value demonstrates that the shrinkage of a moving mass is constant with frequency change. There are no sudden changes in mass/energy values. It also explains why the energy transfer takes place as frequency converts at right angles to that of forward motion. Just as sound waves have greater frequency with greater mass speed (thus the lines of frequency shrink, or become compressed) so, also, mass in the direction of travel shrinks in proportion to a greater or lesser internal frequency or energy values.

3. c=hf, is that for the relationship of a gravitational field and its frequency. It is possible that a "graviton," a single gravitational wave, has the same frequency as all other gravitational waves, no matter where they form; and what we consider as field of gravity has to do with quantity and not quality. Even though it might be either way, at present it appears that a gravitational field is formed of a quantity of waves (a greater multitude of waves all exactly the same no matter where in earth they formed) and not their frequency; although the c=hf concept would be valid in either sense.

Dr. Einstein understood moving mass from the perspective of how it related directly to that of energy - and it worked for him. He arrived at E=mc2! But the same result is able to be found by understanding that mass is composed of waves, and the moving mass undergoes a change from being greater in mass in three dimensions toward that of becoming greater in waveform in one direction and less in the other two dimensions.

In order that the reader may understand the thinking of today concerning the potential ramification of compounding mass, I am going to quote a paragraph found in a book entitled "Asimov's Guide to Science," (c) 1972; published by Basic Books Inc..

"... When Oppenheimer worked out the properties of the neutron star in 1939, he predicted also that it was possible for a star that was massive enough and cool enough, to collapse altogether to nothingness. When such collapse proceeded past the neutron star stage, the gravitational field would become so intense that no matter what, no light could escape from it. Nothing could be seen of it; it would simply be a "black hole" in space."

To which concept I would say; Oppenheimer did not realize that the force of gravity is a field of energy, c2=E/m, initiated by the heat energy within a solar mass. No heat - no energy.

Black holes today are an attempt to explain why so much mass is missing from creation - 90%. The galaxies have been stretched out, and there is not enough mass in empty space to account for distances outward and their being so far apart from each other. But, that condition is not really new news. In the book of Isaiah 45:12 God said 2700 years ago that the heavens had been stretched out. "I have made the earth, and created man upon it, I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded." So, then, it is not 'black holes" that mankind needs to find, but God.

The conclusion is this. Because moving mass has increased frequency change in direction of movement until it reaches the speed of light, it then converts into radiation; there is no manner by which a black hole is able to form under any condition. There is no manner whereby the mass in question may be anything other than the original mass converted into what it already, intrinsically, was. This means, if it is impossible for a black hole to form, then it is just as impossible for the "big bang" to have happened. Neither of these events ever did exist nor shall they. They both soon shall disappear with a "little poof" into an obscure page somewhere in antiquity.

An Experiment You Can Help With

There is an interesting trilogy in physics relative to electromagnetic energy and its formation into mass. The first part of the trilogy you are sure to know, the other two parts you probably are not familiar with. The first part is E=mc2. All know this as the conversion of mass into energy. The second part of the trilogy is obvious though not popular. It is m=E/c2. The conversion of energy into mass. For a long while those who have an interest in these concepts have known about the equation for converting energy into mass but they cannot practically do anything about it. The concept is left largely alone by the public other than as an "Oh, hum" sort of a thing and it is then passed over. The third part of the trilogy is less obvious yet, in that the value of "c2" is not recognized for what it represents as a physical concept by itself. It is the "c2" representation that needs to be examined by empirical evidence - meaning an experiment needs to be performed to determine if it is a singular entity to itself as are energy and mass. The entire equation is c2=E/m. This value of velocity is that of a field of time, or that which accelerates one mass toward another through empty space, bonding planets to their orbits about the sun, and us to them. It is also the equation for earth's gravitational constant and is the basis of both mass and energy.

Newton first described the force of gravitation as to how the force acted instead of what it was. The force was described as, "F" (for the force of gravity) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one," times "mass two," divided by the distance times itself. The result of this equation was in giving a numerical value to the attractive force between earth and its moon. That is all Newton wanted at the time. But this equation does not tell a person what the force of gravitation would be if all the mass of the universe were to be a single mass, as some project once happened in the "big bang" theory. As you are aware, according this theory there would have been no second mass to compare with the first, so there could have been no gravitational equation formulated. All that could be known would be F=m (the force of gravitation is equal to the mass), and that's it. The present equation for a gravitational field is not wrong, it's just incomplete. It's like a person describing a house by the postal address. It isn't that a particular house address is incorrect information, but if you want to know what the house looks like physically it takes more than an address in order to learn that. In order for Newton's equation to be able to describe the force of gravitation both by what it does, as well as what it is, the equation would have to read "F" (the force of gravitation) = "G" the gravitational constant, times "mass one, times its heat energy squared", times "mass two, times its heat energy squared", "divided by the distance multiplied times itself". (F = G x (m1 x Q2) x (m2 x Q2) / d2); "Q" here representing the heat energy within the mass. Using this concept, the equation for a single mass only would be (F = m x Q2). I'm sure you get the idea. Mass of itself is not capable of completing the equation for the force of gravitation, for mass is an entity to itself. There has to be something more. As things stand now, with the way the force of gravity has been represented, there must exist a perpetual creation of this force in all mass at all times in order for its presence to be explained. A continuous creation is the only manner the force of gravity can have perpetually existed through the supposed past eons of time and yet exist brand new at present. Those who seek to understand such things make no allowance for any natural energy source to form this force. They, by default, subscribe to the perpetual creation concept, even though they do not consciously state it. Consider, as we have seen in Appendix "B", that it takes the consumption of 0.00444 kg. per second, or 31.8 tons of mass, or its equivalent energy, converted into gravitational frequencies per year to maintain the energy level required for earth's gravitational field to remain standing. Our sun requires the continual breakdown of 10,485,720 tons of matter, or its equivalent energy, per year into gravitational frequencies in order to maintain orbiting planets in their positions. Does it not seem a wise act to be looking for the energy source that propagates this force?

The reason for going through all this is that I wish to show that the force of gravitation is part of a basic equation that is able to stand by itself (c2=E/m). The force of gravitational acceleration is in reality a physical field of what we loosely call time. Mankind does not think of time as being a physical reality, but it obviously must be just that in some fashion or the concept would not exist at all - i.e. the continual linear flow of past, present and future events, these always having the same unchangeable physical value. I wish to present a manner whereby the existence of physical time forming the force of gravitation may be conclusively examined, but it requires the assistance of others to do so.

There are three primary manners whereby we use energy in our physical world (discounting plasma, the fourth state of matter). Whenever any form of energy associates with a mass, then that energy must evidence itself in some manner. This will be either in linear movement of a mass, by angular movement, or as heat energy existing within a mass. There is a singular instance where an obvious energy expenditure does not appear, in what we would think of as being a "normal" manner. It is when there is a great deal of potential heat energy contained within a large mass, as found in our solar systems sun and planets. The heat energy contained within our planet does not obviously evidence itself to our senses in any manner other than by the occasional action of a volcano or thermo-spring. Why not?

The internal heat energy within our planet causes its mass to form into the shape of a sphere, compacting the mass of earth. It is the heat energy within our planet, forcing the mass to become compacted, that causes our gravitational field to form to the intense factor it does. Were there no internal heat energy within our planet then there could be no gravitational field. Were the internal heat energy within our planet to decrease in value, our planet's gravitational field would also decrease in intensity. The value velocity of "c" (c2=E/m) within earth's mass evidences itself apart from the mass containing it. In the past, the value of the time wave (c) has been ignored as having an existence at all when considering electromagnetic energy. Yet this velocity is the basis for the explanation of electromagnetic radiation (speed), and is itself formed of electromagnetic energy. The value of "c" is the common velocity that all clocks measure in some physical manner as being time, and we, ourselves, are composed of this value as is all else having physical existence. It is also this velocity that we relate with as being real time.

Having explained the basis for gravitation, take a look at how it may be proven whether the gravitational field of earth might have as its origin the internal heat energy within or not. The location in which the experiment needs to be performed is in outer space, where it would be free from earth's gravitational influence and surrounding, small gravitational fields are able to be well isolated. This, obviously, is the part others need to perform. The experiment would consist of three pairs of lead spheres, each set of two spheres being distant enough from any other surrounding mass that they could only influence and be influenced by each other.

The first set of spheres would each be heated to near six hundred degrees f. and placed a fixed distance apart in such manner they would be perfectly motionless relative to each other before the experiment began. Once the restraint on them was removed and they were free to move, each sphere would begin moving toward the other and they would meet at a midway point.

In the second set of spheres, one sphere would be heated to the same temperature as those of the first set while the second sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible, then the spheres would be distanced as were the first set. What would be observed once the spheres were released to freely move, is that the heated sphere would remain motionless while the frozen sphere would begin moving toward the heated one until they met. They then would begin sharing the heat energy and both would have a reduced gravitational field.

The third set of spheres would consist to two lead spheres set the same distance apart as the first and second set, but each sphere would be frozen to as near absolute zero Kelvin as possible. That which would be observed once they were released to move freely, is that neither sphere would begin moving toward the other as in the first two sets. If each sphere had a temperature of absolute zero Kelvin, they would never move toward each other.

This simple experiment would demonstrate the force of gravitation to be or not to be a field of time (c2=E/m), whose origin is that of a particular form of energy and not of a continual creation. What do you think? Is it possible? Will it ever be known if it is not examined? It might be something to consider.

The magnetic field of earth

The Magnetic Field of Earth

(c) 2005, Duane Ertle

It is thought that one day the poles of earth will change places - the north pole becoming the south one, and the south one becoming the north. A reason for this is due to the wandering of the north magnetic pole. It changes location about the geographic north pole. This can be disconcerting to a person who relies on such a thing as it remaining in one location. Especially when using it for navigation purposes. But there is a reason for its wandering nature, and that reason is found in the dense core of our planet.

There is an imaginary line passing from the south pole of the spinning axis of our planet to that of the north pole. It is upon this imaginary axis that our planet spins, the same as when a wheel of your moving automobile turns about the axle that supports it. There is also a secondary axis to our planet that does not run parallel to the axis of rotation. It is the magnetic axis. It is this area that your compass points to when you wish to find a north or south direction when out in the woods and there is no evidence of civilization in any direction. It is this axis that we are interested in - the axis of magnetic lines.

The magnetic axis is formed due to the spin of our planet. As the spin of a solar body increases so, also, does the magnetic field of that body. That is, the magnetic lines form if that solar body is large enough, and has sufficient heat energy within its mass so that there is a plasma location within. The reason for the spin of a large solar mass, and for a plasma area, is that the energy of rotation increases as one approaches the equator of a large solar body, thus its magnetic energy potential also increases and a strong shearing action occurs. Because of the shearing action through the plasma, a great electrical current is formed through the equator of a solar mass. And as always happens, a magnetic field forms at a right angle to that of the electrical field. The magnetic fields of our planet, earth, are opposites because the energy spin (hemiforce) of each hemisphere is opposite. Also, magnetic fields always form with opposite polarity to one another - (other than in the electron where the southern magnetic field is formed into "mass" instead of magnetic lines. Both the lines of magnetic force and that of electron "southern mass," though, are equal. The magnetic lines of an electron cannot change unless the bonded area of the southern part of that mass, and the electrical frequency forming its equator, changes. So, because of its small size, and its being composed of electromagnetic waves, the inherent magnetic properties are unchangeable by mankind).

Our planet does not have the same stability as does the electron. Our planet has differing energy values throughout its mass. These changes are due to its rotation, and heat values, as our planet moves about the sun and through the Milky Way galaxy. The area of greatest stability within our planet is within its core area. In this location there is a great deal of relative heat energy (relative to ourselves in that were a mass of it to be brought up to the surface intact, it would have as much potential destructive power as any bomb conceived by mankind). This potential energy exists because of the mass within that location being compacted to such an extent that the area inward, past the 0.717 mile location from the core point of our planet, converts directly into electromagnetic radiation, and these waves, are possibly, then, reduced into gravitational waves.

The problem of planet spin forming a magnetic field in this dense mass location is due to there being no manner for a plasma to form. The electrons cannot exist apart from the atom to form an electrical field, because the mass is compacted to the degree that little movement is able to exist at a right angle to the direction of compression. Due to this condition, it is impossible for a magnetic axis to form here. A magnetic axis is unable to form into a negative and positive polarity when it is divided. The same as when a stable magnet is divided or cracked all the way through. Each half forms new north and south poles. In order for our planet to have a north pole form and then remain in existence, it must have an equal south pole form and remain as the mirror image of the other. And the manner in which this is done is that the magnetic axis forms beside the dense area where plasma is lacking. This causes the dense core area of a large solar mass to act as a teeter-totter, the dense mass nearest the core point acting as a fulcrum, or balance point, that the magnetic field balances itself against.

Of course, it is easily seen why this causes problems. It is like trying to balance a wiggling dog on top of one's head without the use of any support. The load shifts as the forces change. Were our planet to be stationary in space, not moving about our sun, and were there no outside forces acting upon it, as our moon, it appears that the magnetic field of our planet would remain more stationary, and would not change locations as happens at present.

The forces we observe and understand have been existent from the beginning of our planet's creation. We think of them as existing as they do because they must, but that is not the truth. They must exist because, were they not formed as they presently are, mankind would quickly perish. God designed our planet to be inhabited by ourselves and He would not allow the total destruction of what has been created. Our magnetic field protects us from the solar particles streaming off from the sun. Were it not for our magnetic field, it appears we of earth would soon be cooked due to the excess heat energy imparted to ourselves by the sun when solar flares formed.

It is amazing that there exists about us engineering principles that are very subtle, that were they not to be functioning as they do, we as a species would perish. And yet they are accredited to chance. What is the chance of you finding a living, self replicating computer while digging into earth, or within the mass of a mountain range somewhere? Why is it thought that the roll of the dice of "stuff" does that which reason cannot? Were it not for the concept of evolution being taught to children, and they being raised up with that continual reinforcement, the concept would have died out long ago. It takes more "faith" to believe in this THEORY, than in that of an intelligent Creator acting through creation for the good of mankind.

I Believe ...

I Believe ...

It is thought by many people that the theory of evolution is a factual concept. In school you have likely been presented with the thought that evolution is "science". The two words "science" and "evolution" likely have been often put together by your teacher when spoken of. How often have any of your teachers coupled the word "evolution" to that of "theory"? Has it ever happened?

The concept of evolution is not a scientific fact. It is taught in the classroom and often presented on television as being a fact, but it is not. It is a theory. The truth of this statement is often verified when there is a public debate before a large audience. Those promoting the theory of evolution are careful to state it, at that time, as being a theory. They realize this has to be done because the facts cannot be replicated. There is no manner by which a person may start from the beginning of time and move forward from that time to the present and all the while observe the process. If it cannot be duplicated, then it is only theory - it is not "science".

For those of you seeking to understand the truth between creation and evolution, you must consider the foundation of each. It is from the foundation that the shape of the superstructure exists. We see what the concept of evolution offers today, because we are the result of some process, but is it creation or evolution? Let’s see what the foundation of evolution offers in way of explanation.

This concept has to begin with a single cell. The cell has to be completely formed in order to have any function. This means there has to be a cell wall that keeps the nucleus and all other parts where they belong to the exclusion of all the other atoms about the cell seeking to enter in due to an abundance of their kinetic energy. There has to be a food source also or the cell cannot divide, and the cell must have the propensity to assimilate the “food.” There has to exist a “life” within the cell that would remain long enough for it to reproduce. It could not reproduce just once and then die, or all that would ever exist would be just one cell, if that kind cell process were to keep on.

So, how could a super-cell be formed with the quality of having a cell wall of exactly the right thickness and encompassing exactly the right chemicals to form a cell? Even if all the right chemicals in correct proportion were in a closed system, a cell would not (and will not) form (like putting all the parts of a watch in a box and hoping they will form into a watch due to it being shaken up). The cell is of very small proportions, and the possibility of having just the right chemicals form into an enclosed volume with all the parts that form a cell intact, are less than zero (less than zero because it is a total impossible impossibility).

Then, how long is the life span of a cell that exists alone in a hostile environment? What would be the life span if there were two such cells? What would cause the first cell to divide? Why would it want to - division would only mean less chance for its own survival and “survival of the fittest” is the basic tenant of natural selection - is it not? If not this propensity in the first cell, why in the complex structure formed of it? For all life is a property of cell division.

The DNA structure is what determines the nature of a new cell. Where did the DNA come from in the first cell? It is obvious, due to size and complexity, that DNA was not formed by accident. And were there no DNA in the first cell, then there could be none in the second, and all the other times the original one would have to divide, because that is the blueprint for the original cell and all the ones following. Take a look at the DNA strand. Consider its size. Then consider that all the individual atoms forming it would have to moving in a solution in random directions when it was formed. Not only for the DNA, but also for the entire cell. Do you believe all the atoms required to be in one location, all moving in random directions could suddenly form into a living cell? If the concept of evolution were correct, then there must have been zillions of trials before this one came into existence, because evolution is a process of selection. Where are the others? Why just one good cell?

Build something as simple as a model airplane or boat. Were your project to be short ten-percent of its pieces, would it work? What would happen if ten-percent of unrelated items were added to it: like sand, an unwanted table, or cast-away clothes? What would happen to the first cell if it were not exactly right in all aspects? Would it live? Could it reproduce if any of the DNA were missing? How long do you think it would exist as a living entity if just one-percent had gone wrong?

The foundation of evolution is messed up. There is no manner by which actively moving elements in solution could by any means form into a living cell. The greater the heat such a make-believe cell was subjected to, the greater and more energetic would be the random motion of the parts, and less potential there would be for the selected atoms of meeting in one location at one time. The colder the environment that such atoms were in, the more likely they would distill into different levels, making their meeting in one location at one point in time just as remote. There is no mechanism by which a “first cell” is able to form under any condition. If you don’t have the first cell, you don’t have evolution.

We cannot deny the presence of ourselves. This is the major point evolution draws a person’s attention to - we exist. What is ignored is the engineering involved in our existence. How can there be male and female of the species so that each contributes toward the formation of a new single life? How is it that our bodies have lungs, a heart, liver, and brain - each if it were missing would cause the death of the whole? Which of the listed came first, and why were the others not necessary. Why is it that the most common variety of brain grown from dust becomes more complex than the best of computers, even though billions of man-hours have been spent on them? Could it be a case of “randomness” being more intelligent than reason and design?

It is at this point that I would like to consider creation. This manner of existence accounts for what evolution cannot. We are superior prior to what is required of us. We design our future instead of the physical world about us forcing us to act and live in a particular manner. This is, of course, contrary to what evolution would teach. According to that theory, mankind is a product of his environment. But in reality, there is no limit as to how we may project our lives. We have this ability, and have had it through the ages, due to having been given it. Having been made in the “image” of the Creator, we have attributes not ascribable to environment. Laughter, and contemplation of our world, and others about our sun, are manifestations of that gift. The ability to make sense of chemistry, mathematics, and music demonstrate an elevation of thought different from animals. Our capacity has been passed on generation to generation through the same DNA value as would the first cell to have had within it. If this were not true, the first cell was not that which formed all mankind, according to evolution. But there is a problem. What about all the other animals, fish and birds etc. How is it that they have a DNA value different from ours?

Here is a problem. Everything seems to have been made with a ready-to-run motor within, but they are of different kinds. Where did the divergence come from? What happened to the first cell and the cells that were supposed to have come from it? Did the first cell become a mouse all by itself, or a cockroach? According to the DNA strand, all that it could have made would be other cells like itself. This concept is seen in the endangered species of our world. Once one of them is gone, they don’t return. Species follows species because the DNA does not allow one to take place of another, or to merge with another. They have been created, each with their own code. Were the concept of evolution to be true, all that would be existent on our planet would be a host of single cells, each the same. But, you might say that the cells became lumped together, and so what. All they would form would be more cells of the same.

Creation makes sense because it matches reality. We were created as something special in thought and moral values. We understand the concept of creation because we realize the Wisdom and Understanding necessary to form a solar system like ours, and then to make living creatures exist on one of the planets. Like making a model airplane or boat, we know it requires intelligence to make them. They are not found apart from the active will of someone working out the problems and then using design to fashion them. God does the same, only His problems and solutions are on a greater scale. A scale that the observer understands that only a Creator could comprehend and carry out.

Lastly, a problem arises even more basic than that of the origin of the first cell for the evolutionist. The problem concerns the origin of mass itself. Where did it come from? A person might say that it “just was,” sort of like the first cell, but mass itself is of design. It has been formed of electromagnetic energy. This form of energy is the basis of all mass, which is why the time value of “c” relates to everything in our physical world. This even deepens the problem. Where did the electromagnetic energy come from? How was it able to be formed into electrons and then these into neutrons and protons? In that all our physical creation was created of electromagnetic energy, if the Creator were limited to time, He would have had to have created all matter at the same instant only. (There were creative acts of Jesus where He proved he was the Creator and not subject to time). Where this not true, what was not created in our universe at one instant in time, at the value of “c”, would have been created in another, therefore it would not exist to us, but would exist as another universe in another time. Who would be mighty enough, by man’s standards, to have created our universe in the very same instant of time? Obviously man didn’t do it, nor did any Entity that we are able to comprehend. It would be better for the reader to seek to the Creator and honor Him for His work than scorn what He has created as being an accident. Evolution digs a ditch in a person’s understanding that prohibits one from looking about themselves and giving thanks to their Creator.
