Science conjecture: does the big bang explode in both directions of time?

 

 I had a realization a while back. It is not really science, but rather, it is more like religious conjecture. I wondered about what happened before the big bang. What would cause a black hole the size of the universe to explode?

We know that in the world of tiny objects like particles, that every single thing that can happen needs to be reversible. So, if light hits an atom, and an electron jumps to a higher orbit, it must also be possible for an electron to fall to a lower orbit and emit light. The light 'particle' was absorbed by the atom because it had the difference in energies between the lower and the higher electron orbit. And, the light that is produced by the reciprocal degradation of the electrons orbit is of the same color or energy that was needed to boost it. 

There is only an arrow of time for collections of particles. You can see a video of an egg breaking, and know that you are viewing the video in the correct direction, because you never see eggs un-breaking. This is not the case on the particle scale. Every particle interaction can go in either direction, so you would not be able to tell if a video of a particle event is shown in the right direction.

A video of the last few bits of matter falling into a universe sized black hole would be going in the right direction, because black holes do not release matter [other than Hawking radiation]. However, once the last bit of matter had passed the event horizon, we have a different situation. While there is matter outside of the singularity, the hole has spin in reference to the matter outside. But, once there is nothing outside to compare with, the hole no longer spins or moves through space. There is a lot of matter inside the hole, but it can no longer store it's state and the arrow of time points in either direction. It is essentially a single particle, that is absolutely motionless and without spin. Even Hawking radiation would cease, because there are no atoms near the singularity to be torn apart into particles and antiparticles.

Once the hole has lost all of its personality, the arrow of time is not defined, and it is free to reverse and explode. There can not be an observer, of course, because any particle or object outside the hole would give it a proper motion and spin. The arrow of time would not be able to switch directions. there might not be any 'space' outside of the singularity during the 'interval' that it was entirely collapsed. I would use the word 'time', but time itself might not exist right 'then'. Time itself might require some matter outside of a single universe sized black hole.

Although there can be no observer, the particle that is the compressed universe explodes in both directions of times arrow. After it gets very large and cool, it may collapse again, to repeat endlessly. explode, collapse, explode, collapse... like breathing!

Another Hitler Olympics!

The first Hitler Olympics was held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany.
It was a showcase where the Nazis could demonstrate their genetic superiority, as well as their military might. The announcement that Trumps shock troops, [also called ICE], will be attending the Olympics in Italy has reminded me strongly of Hitlers rise to power.

ICE are not ordinary cops, that should be deployed in a city environment. They are would be mercenaries and pardoned Jan 6 rioters who have proved their worth in Minneapolis. They have killed and beaten undocumented immigrants and citizens alike, and then lied about each of their outbreaks of extreme violence.

 

It is quite chilling that these brutal thugs are heading to Europe. what good could US immigration possibly do in Europe? will they again be deployed to escalate peaceful protests into beatings and shootings?
Maybe Europe will decide to hand over Greenland after yet another demonstration of US brutality?

What benefits have the citizens of the US seen from Trumps authoritarian tactics and threats? 

1. instead of becoming a US state, Canada has stopped trading with us, and taken up with China instead.

2. Venezuela was attacked, and their leader kidnapped. Yet, no American company wants to drill for oil there. We have killed sailors and taken oil tankers, but really, what we did was wean the world from using the US dollar for trade. The US is no longer trusted, except to bore dignitaries with stupid, insulting, Trumpian diatribes.

3. The trump regime is lead by a child trafficker. Any Epstein papers that are released while one of the main offenders is president will have him blacked out. When he is finally deposed, Trump will amaze the world with the extent of his crimes, both sexual and fraudulent. Potus and his reliable cabinet will move from DC to various federal prisons. For now, the American people are skipping vaccines, getting much less medical and food help. Predatory corporations are being allowed to defraud them without any oversight. 


4. NATO has been effectively dissolved. In fact, Trump has proposed that we might start to grab parts of Europe. He has also told Europe that they are on their own, and no longer protected by the US. This effects US citizens because these policies will clearly lead to a US civil war, or a world war fought right here in the lower 48 states.

5 Having a convicted sex offender and scammer in the white house makes these types of crimes seem OK. When wealthy fraudsters or sex offenders are caught, they can buy a pardon after a short stay in jail. The whole US citizenry feels that it is slightly more OK to use violence, abuse or traffic women, or to cheat vulnerable people. When we are lead by a violent narcissist, we all become a little more like our leader.

 

6 Some immigrants have been removed from the US, but so far, it has been the day laborers and nannies that have been picked like low hanging fruits. We actually need all the gardeners and roofers and fruit pickers. We had hoped to get rid of rapists and murderers, but they can resist ICE very easily. The cost of a small number of removals is too high. We now have a huge army of thugs that answer only to Trump. They are tearing through democratic cities. Can you beat and threaten the democracy right out of people? I guess that we will see during the midterms. If Minnesota votes republican, I will eat some very dirty socks as well as my hat.

7. The stupid tariffs are just a way for Trump to get a huge amount of tax-payer money to spend on his private army and his golden ballroom. They have not worked at all, except to empower china, and force European companies from the US. At one point, we even goaded China into offering to stop shipments of rare earth elements to the US. OOOPs! That would kill the biggest scam that we have now. 

8. The biggest scam ever attempted is the AI bubble. AI investment is making the US economy look OK by pouring money into data centers that are not needed or desired. You may remember China building fake cities to falsely inflate their economy. Data centers are being rammed down Americas throat. The tech bros stood behind trump after they helped elect him. Now, he is returning the favor by letting them totally defraud us. The US economy is collapsing FAST! This will be quite obvious when the AI bubble pops. The various companies are not developing true artificial intelligence. Current AI is more of a tool for fraud and surveillance. Large language models were never a path to general AI. They will be used by the government to further control every aspect of American life. Every keystroke made, and photo kept by each citizen will be stored in those data centers, and they will be organized by AI agents so that dissidents can be quickly and secretly disappeared.


What can we do, you may ask! I would say that we can vote with our wallets, even if the voting system is lost to the authoritarian regime. But, our wallets have already been pinched with hidden taxes so that many more Americans are living hand to mouth. It is hard to purchase with high ideals when you cant buy the food that you need, or see a doctor when you are ill. It is our responsibility to watch events very carefully. We can try not to give in to hatred while the folks who have given in make the world dangerous and miserable. And, just like in the period after the Hitler Olympics, we can settle in for a very long period of disruption with war, famine, disasters and pandemics the whole way. In 1936, they still had a few years of troubled peace, followed by 5 years of war. You will remember that Hitler conquered the first few countries before war was declared. It will bring to mind our poke at Venezuela and our greed for Canada and Greenland. Like Hitler, Trump can move into a few nearby countries before our expansion triggers some larger countries to declare war.

 

The course of a world war seems predictable if we look back. We get our Czechoslovakia, and maybe our Poland. When we move into our 'France'  to capture the resources there [Greenland?], many countries will fight us. At first, they will be reluctant, and will loose badly. Just little incidents of fighting will occur on US soil. Most of the bombing runs, and the land and sea battles will take place elsewhere. Then, we will need to make more parts for the ships and planes, and we will find out that we are very dependent on the countries that we are fighting. Later, more countries will join our foes [likely we will betray some, like Germany betrayed the Soviets.] Just like it did in ww2, the fighting will come to be entirely within the instigating country. That means the bombing of American cities until most lie in rubble, and eventually, the landing of a multinational armada that works it's way slowly across the US. And, that prediction is for the case where the Nukes are left in their happy silos and submarines. Since Nukes exist in such great numbers, we can not rest assured that they will never be used.

 

Putin threatened to use nukes a lot of times, but he never actually came close to using nukes in his war with the former soviet state that is now the country of Ukraine. In fact, he has only used a few of his vast stockpile of hyper-sonic missiles. Drones and Russian young men are way cheaper. I do not feel the same about Donald Trump. you could hurt his feelings too much, by [for example] withholding a peace prize after he had instantly resolved 253 wars that have been going for well over 2000 years.

 

No, Donald will do anything, and no one can stop him [other than his super strong conscience, wink wink]. He might be the perfect storm, that ends American control of the world and American prosperity right along with the American economy.

 

i will end on a good note:

butterflies and rainbows for everyone! 

 

An explainer for my Asian and European and African friends, what is going on in the United States?

You guys must be quite confused about what is going on in the United States! Have no fear, most American Citizens are equally confused!

Yes, we did elect a sexual predator and real estate fraudster to the highest office, TWICE! I am not libeling Trump, but simply stating that He was convicted of sexually assaulting at least one woman, and he was also convicted of running long standing real estate scams.

As to why we elected him even after he was convicted of a felony, this is a little complicated. It seems that the majority of Americans believe that the US has been ill treated. It is a little like the Germans after they had lost WW1, and felt that  they had been ill treated by the victors.

Who has abused Americans? Really, no one has abused us. We have injured ourselves. Roughly half of Americans are Obese [not just overweight]. About 10% are morbidly obese. The reason for this is that the government has allowed monopolistic corporations to target Americans. Anti Trust laws were softened after corporations gained the right to spend any amount of money on electing candidates. So, American statesman and stateswomen are now elected largely by US companies.

This was highlighted openly, with the owners of the largest tech monopolies standing physically right behind D Trump at his inauguration. The government now concentrates on protecting these monopolies instead of US and world consumers. This means that we are fed very bad food, sold crappy goods with a fake warranty, and proscribed drugs that we don't actually need by a profit oriented health system. Rich people are allowed to do crimes, and if they are ever locked up, they can buy a pardon from our orange haired despot.

We also have a somewhat unresolved civil war. That's right! It did not end in 1886. Looking back, the North should have allowed the south to leave the US like they wanted to. There might still be slavery in the confederate states, but the US to the north would be much easier to govern. As it is, we can not agree on anything: Is it OK for Americans to carry guns? Should people of color vote? should women make their own medical decisions, and cast their own vote, or are women more like farm animals, who give birth on command, and are owned by a hu{man}?

You may also have noticed that political violence and race based violence are back in fashion in the US. Trump famously offered to pay the legal fees if some of his supporters would attack and hurt Anti Trump protesters at a rally. He forgave white counter protesters when they shot into crowds of peaceful black lives matter protesters. He caused numerous attacks on Asians when he foolishly blamed China and [in effect] all of Asia for causing the COVID pandemic. And, he rallied his supporters to invade the capitol after he lost the 2020 election. They actually did break in, and made some attempts to stop the counting of the electoral votes so that Biden could never take office. In fact, Trump was about to be imprisoned for his attempt to upset an election that he lost, when the trial was cancelled by his re-election.

The Maga republicans, like the Nazis before them, scapegoated a group so that they could be united by hate for a common enemy. It was decided that our economic and drug problems were actually caused by trans people and undocumented immigrants. It was easy to get rid of the trans people. We just declared that they do not exist, and forced them back to their birth gender. 

We still needed a despicable enemy, so that we could also have secret police and concentration camps. So, we drastically expanded our immigration police, and used them to attack democratic run cities. Making believe that they are rounding up drug dealers and rapists, they actually captured the lowest hanging fruit: gardeners mowing lawns, laborers waiting for day labor, and mothers bringing their American born children to school. During this 'operation', we saw the Trump administration ignore the courts, continue to fill the concentration camps, and deport the captured people to any country that would take them. El Salvador had already set up a mega prison, and we paid them to accept shipments of concentration camp prisoners that were not from El Salvador.


It seems that ICE is not getting the 'criminals' that they had targeted. Those folks are still at large. Instead, they stalk immigration courts to net the law abiding ones that do attend every immigration hearing. Since this new regime took power, 140,000 'illegals' have been shipped off, and around 65,000 sit in the concentration camps. In these facilities, they are deprived of medical attention, tortured, and given inedible food. It is hoped that they will give up their legal struggles to attain citizenship here, and will go back to their own country voluntarily.

Is this deportation campaign working? It is estimated that around 14 million people are here without a visa or green card. 140,000 is 1% of the estimated total, so it is likely that more than this number entered in the same time period. The round up is not working, because the number of illegals is likely still going up. The whole war is thus an attack on democratic run cities, that are seen as sanctuaries for illegal immigration.

We have twice elected someone who is quite mentally ill. He does not reward people for good behavior [unless they pay him a few million for a pardon]. Instead, he 'cuts the grass'. This is a term coined in Israel to allow genocide to proceed. When 'cutting the grass', one ceaselessly attacks ones dehumanized enemies, harming or killing them if possible. [calling them blades of grass makes it easy to kill lots of them] So, we have placed absurd tariffs on trade with the rest of the world. This has made us poorer, but has allowed Trump to charge vast bribes if a country wants their tariff lifted. He pockets the bribe, which actually comes in part from US wallets. The best example of this is the luxury jet that was given to him personally.

You may wonder where all of this is going? The US has never started a world war, but that is where a country goes after the concentration camps. It goes like this: after we get used to torturing and deporting illegals, we will find another group to lock up in there. [concentration camps need inmates] it is possible that Trump will pick the Jews again, because he is pretty much following the Hitler playbook. Germany had around a half million Jews prior to ww2. they were not illegal immigrants, but citizens with high paying jobs and their own totally legal businesses. About half of these fled when the Nazis starting to trouble them. A quarter of a million or so remained to be shot in the street or fed into ovens in the German concentration camps. As the Germans moved into Europe and eventually Russia, they slaughtered the Jews who lived there as well.

Germany did not start with Jews. They first imprisoned blacks and gays. You can not start with such a large group. Who will we pick for our major scapegoat in the US? Even though Hitler picked the Jews, and this group is numbered around 7.5 million in the US, there are some things that work against choosing Jews to murder. For one thing, we just joined with Israel to attempt to kill or drive out all Palestinians. It also takes a while to make a population hate a subgroup enough to wipe them out. It took Hitler about 10 years to do this in Germany. Trump made some attempts to stir up antisemitism during his attacks on US colleges, but I dont think that it did much. Americans dont hate Jews enough to kill them.

What will be our Czechoslovakia and Poland? The US will need a nearby country to invade to kick off ww3. We have chosen Venezuela as the first country to invade, blaming them for the fentanyl trade. Actually, it is their oil that we need to seize, and they actually do cocaine rather than fentanyl. The opioid is mostly made for us in Mexico, using chemicals from China. This is now the common practice in the US. We attacked Iraq to seize their oil, claiming [incorrectly] that they were building weapons.

Because the US government decisions must benefit our oil companies and our other extractive businesses, The current administration has stopped new solar and wind installs. This leaves us attacking one oil rich nation after another. Most Americans would prefer to switch to rooftop solar and electric cars. But, the citizens are not free to choose. The companies pay to elect their lackeys to government positions. And these lackeys, who are often executives from these same industries, choose the new laws.

Also, the US military has grown so large that it is like a large separate country within the US. It is a creature that has to eat. And it eats by using expensive weapons. So, we need excuses to shoot off missiles and to drop bombs, and to invade other oil rich countries. And because we have a military that rivals the combined military might of the rest of the world, it is tempting to just take over the entire world by force. We have attempted to destabilize the world by suddenly withdrawing all foreign aid, and by imposing huge tariffs intended to curtail international trade. We have threatened to take over the Panama canal and Iceland and even Canada!

So, that is our plan. To select a group to dehumanize and imprison within the US. To start taking nearby countries that have oil and minerals. And finally, to take over the world using battleships, nuclear weapons, and our vast army.

Can we be stopped? Countries and corporations are bending the knee to the Maga movement. As happened in Czechoslovakia and Poland, the world will let us seize a few small countries. [we have already invaded Iraq and Afghanistan for made up reasons] When we attack a larger country, the UN will try to stop us, and we will attack the UN. Then, member nations will join to fight us. If Trump remains in office despite his obvious mental decline, we will make huge errors in this war. We may make the exact error that Hitler made, by suddenly attacking our strongest ally.

I think that we can not be stopped, short of destroying all US cities, and causing us to use up most of the missiles and bullets and soldiers that we have. Unfortunately, due to the power of modern weapons, the earth will be affected permanently. There may be no people and few plants and animals on some continents. All the surviving humans may live in Australia and new Zealand, where the air is more breathable, and crops can still be grown.

Sadly, i do not offer a solution to this. the Magas seem to be loosing power and popular support. But, if they can remain in power, we will almost certainly have the world war. Further, there will be no rules. We will be bombing hospitals and schools, destroying crops, and poisoning water supplies. We have troupes that are practicing for this war in democratic sanctuary US cities. It will be very very hard to defeat US forces at first. They will fight well, using great weapons. But, after a few years of war crimes many will stop fighting so hard, and many will kill themselves. We have seen how cowardly fighting techniques like bombings and drone attacks eventually cause our soldiers to go crazy and take their own life. We have stopped many types of disease prevention, and remember that we are very very fat and entitled people. So, while the US fights the entire world, We will also be engaged in a civil war over scant resources. US citizens will die by the millions of pandemics and simple starvation. We are just great at blaming others for our lack of education, our poor nutrition, and our collapsing economy. This will get much worse during a long war. So, while we are taking over one country after another, the US will also be fighting itself. Many troops will be needed to stop the race riots, the food riots, and the other types of riots that we have.

I don't want this. I never considered voting for trump. What he and his minions have done is directly against what I wish for. I live on 100% solar electricity, and wish ardently for an electric car so i can quit fossil fuel entirely. I am a scientist, trained at NMT, who believes in climate change. I believe this from carefully reviewed science, and from my own observations of the weather. I am the first member of my family [immigrants!] that has not fought in a major US war. I believe in Karma, so this makes me think that we will have to pay for supplying bombs for the Gaza genocide, the stupid blockade against Venezuela, the tariffs and the cessation of humanitarian aid. WE will pay for the bunker busters that we put on Iran, and for killing hundreds of thousands in the middle east so that we could have their oil and minerals.

I predict that the US will be destroyed if the Maga republicans keep attacking countries as well as US cities. The US is not strong enough to defeat the entire world while encouraging poverty, ill health, political division and civil war at home. But, like Hitlers efforts, there is probably no way to derail Trumps plan for a world war. 

I am sorry if this did not cheer you up.
