11Prompt - Timelessness /?q=taxonomy/term/110 en A Falsehood spread about God /?q=node/604 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>For many years, scientists have been propagating a falsehood about God. That falsehood is as follows: "The God-hypothesis does not predict anything that can be tested," or "The God-hypothesis does not have any observational consequences."</p> <p>But I showed back in 2001 that this is entirely false. I demonstrated that the God-hypothesis can predict something that has been tested and verified. I showed that if, at the very beginning of the universe, there existed a spaceless and timeless entity (God has always been described this way), then due to the presence of such a spaceless and timeless being, the values of space and time must necessarily be relative — and science has indeed shown that the values of space and time are relative.</p> <p>Because God is spaceless and timeless, the values of space and time in relation to God are absolutely zero. But in all other cases, the values of space and time are non-zero. Therefore, the values of space and time must be relative.</p> <p>However, this cannot be considered definitive proof of God's existence, because God's consciousness cannot be proven in this way. Even if, instead of God, there existed a spaceless and timeless unconscious entity, the values of space and time would still be relative.</p> <p>Scientists who are working on quantum gravity are now saying that space and time cannot be fundamental — they are emergent. If scientists ultimately conclude that space-time is emergent, it would mean that the source from which space-time emerged cannot itself be located within space-time, since space-time did not exist before its own emergence.</p> <p>And since nothing can exist without space-time, the source from which space-time originated can be identified as the root of all existence — and that source must be spaceless and timeless. Although scientists are not calling it "spaceless and timeless"; instead, they are calling it non-spatiotemporal.</p> <p>If scientists continue down the path they are currently on, they will eventually arrive not at a spaceless and timeless conscious being at the beginning of the universe, but rather at a non-spatiotemporal unconscious entity.</p> <p>However, I showed as early as 2012 that such an unconscious entity must possess consciousness — otherwise, the spacelessness and timelessness of light cannot be explained in any way.</p> <p>So there's no need for atheists to worry about proving God's existence. They can simply go on spreading the same falsehood — that "God-hypothesis does not predict anything."1</p> <p>Footnote:<br /> 1.

Below is the story:</p> <p> Athiest1</p> <p>I like how you pick apart the idea of timelessness and spacelessness. In the future, however, I think you could get a lot of further traction by pointing out how space and time are not even separate entities unto themselves. General relativity is very clear that space and time are linked into a single entity called spacetime. We also know that the nature of spacetime is not very well understood, and that there are all sorts of wacky things it could transform into or causally derive from---especially in the realm of ultra high energy and density like the Big Bang. So whenever these Christians speak of the universe just popping into existence, they are demonstrating very clearly that they simply don't understand the fundamental nature of spacetime and causality.</p> <p>Me to Athiest1</p> <p>Do you know one thing? Scientists who are working with the quantum theory of gravity are now saying unanimously that space and time are not fundamental entities at all, but epiphenomena arising from other yet more fundamental entities. Even string theorists are also saying the same thing that space and time are not fundamental. Below are some relevant quotes: </p> <p>1) While different approaches to quantum gravity are often based on rather different physical principles, many of them share an important suggestion: that in some way spacetime as we find it in our existing theories is not a fundamental ingredient of the world, but instead, like rainbows, plants or people, `emerges' from some deeper, non-spatiotemporal physics. What replaces spacetime and what aspects of spacetime remain in the ontology of fundamental physics differs, as one would expect, from approach to approach. But the idea that the universe and its material content might not, at bottom, be `in' space and time, that these seemingly fundamental ingredients are just appearances of something more fundamental, would, if borne out, shatter our conception of the universe as profoundly as any scientific revolution before.<br /> - The emergence of spacetime in quantum theories of gravity by Nick Huggett and Christian Wuthrich_ </p> <p>2) Nobel Laureate David Gross observed, “Everyone in string theory is convinced...that spacetime is doomed. But we don't know what it's replaced by.” Fields medalist Edward Witten also thought that space and time may be “doomed.” Nathan Seiberg of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton said, "I am almost certain that space and time are illusions. These are primitive notions that will be replaced by something more sophisticated."<br /> - Donald D. Hoffman in The Abdication Of Space-Time (Edge.org) </p> <p>3) “There aren’t many things in quantum gravity that everyone agrees on,” says Eleanor Knox, a philosopher at King’s College London who specializes in the philosophy of physics. “Yet the one thing many people seemed to agree on in quantum gravity was that we were going to have to cope with space and time not being fundamental.”<br /> - Are Space and Time Fundamental? – The nature of reality - PBS by Kate Becker, Mar 2012 </p> <p>Now what would be the consequences if space and time are not fundamental but emergent? Here are some thoughts: </p> <p>That space and time are emergent would have at least two implications. It would imply that those fundamental entities from which space and time have emerged cannot be within any space and time and it would also imply that they cannot be material. They cannot be within any space and time simply because space and time have emerged from them and therefore there was no space and time prior to the emergence of space and time. Thus they would be spaceless and timeless. However scientists are not describing these fundamental entities as spaceless and timeless, they are describing them as non-spatiotemporal. In whichever way they are described, the truth remains the same: those fundamental entities from which space and time have emerged cannot be within any space and time. Being thus spaceless and timeless (or non-spatiotemporal) they would also be immaterial. This is because GR has shown that space, time and matter are so interlinked that when there would be matter, there would be space and time as well. So, if those fundamental entities were material, then there would also be space and time along with those material entities. In that case there would already be space and time prior to the emergence of space and time, which would be an absurdity. </p> <p>That means the fundamental entities from which spacetime has emerged were spaceless, timeless and immaterial. However it can be shown that only one entity be there in spaceless and timeless condition which would further mean that spacetime has emerged from one single entity only that was spaceless, timeless (or, non-spatiotemporal) and immaterial.</p> <p>Atheist2 to Me</p> <p>"That means the fundamental entities from which spacetime has emerged were spaceless, timeless and immaterial. However it can be shown that only one entity be there in spaceless and timeless condition which would further mean that spacetime has emerged from one single entity only that was spaceless, timeless (or, non-spatiotemporal) and immaterial." </p> <p>Lol. xxxxxxx bullshit</p> <p>Me to Atheist2</p> <p>It is not me but the scientists working with the quantum theory of gravity who are saying that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent. If spacetime is not fundamental but emergent, then that will mean that there is something more fundamental than space-time from which space-time has emerged. This something more fundamental than space-time cannot be within any space-time because there cannot be any space-time prior to the emergence of space-time. This is nothing but simple common sense. </p> <p>Being not within any space-time it cannot be material, because GR forbids it. </p> <p>So, do you lack simple common sense and are you also anti-science that my argument appears to you as xxxxxxx bullshit?</p> <p>Atheist3 to Me</p> <p>I think he's upset because your confirmation bias is showing. </p> <p>You've skipped over this key part: "What replaces spacetime and what aspects of spacetime remain in the ontology of fundamental physics differs, as one would expect, from approach to approach." </p> <p>You want to see it as fitting the definition of your god, but that's not what they're saying. They're saying there's something 'below' our universe that has its own manifestation of energy. They're saying it is not OUR universe, but it still has laws nonetheless, only these laws dictate the manifestation of energy into universes. </p> <p>It is by no means evidence of a creator. If you did not intend to imply that, my apologies, but the correlation seemed strong.</p> <p>Atheist2 to Me </p> <p>"If spacetime is not fundamental but emergent, then that will mean that there is something more fundamental than space-time from which space-time has emerged" Citation xxxxxxx needed. Religious bullshit all over.</p> <p>Me to Atheist3 </p> <p>You have written: "You want to see it as fitting the definition of your god, but that's not what they are saying." </p> <p>You have also written: "It is by no means evidence of a creator." </p> <p>Can you show by any direct quote where I have mentioned god or a creator in my first comment? So, from where have you brought all these entities and accusing me unnecessarily? </p> <p>In my comment I have only tried to show what would be the logical consequences if spacetime is not fundamental but emergent. If my analysis appears to someone as xxxxxxx religious bullshit, then I will say 21st century physics is xxxxxxx religious bullshit that says that we will have to abandon the notion that spacetime is fundamental.</p> <p>Atheist3 to Me </p> <p>You said, "...spacetime has emerged from one single entity only that was spaceless, timeless (or, non-spatiotemporal) and immaterial." This is a common definition for a christian god.</p> <p>Me to Atheist3</p> <p>But the Christian God has got consciousness. Have I written in my comment that the entity from which space-time has emerged is a conscious entity?</p> <p>Atheist3 to Me </p> <p>As I stated before, if you did not mean to imply that, my apologies. You've asked for a reason for my interpretation of your intent, and I gave it to you. Maybe you can grow from this by understanding how other people may interpret your communications, and shape them accordingly.</p> <p>Me to Atheist3 </p> <p>It is okay. </p> <p>However I want to say one thing here. Actually theistic belief has two parts. In one part theists hold that life, mind and consciousness were already there before the beginning of the universe, because before the beginning there was God and God is life, mind and consciousness itself. In the second part they hold that there was no space and time before the beginning, because before the beginning there was God and that God is spaceless and timeless. So as per the theistic belief life, mind and consciousness are fundamental, because they were already there before the beginning of anything, but space and time are not, because there was no space and time before the beginning. Up till now scientists have refused to acknowledge the first part of the theistic belief as true and they still hold that life, mind and consciousness are emergent entities only. But forced by the circumstances they have been driven to the conclusion that the second part of the theistic belief is essentially true, that space and time are not fundamental, but emergent only. </p> <p>That is the reason as to why my final conclusion appears to you so similar to the definition of the theistic god. </p> <p>Here the story ends.</p> <p>Now we can say that the new physics of emergent spacetime has given such a marvelous twist to the ultimate reality that even an atheist now mistakes it for God.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Tags: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/123" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">God</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/53" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">space</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/54" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">time</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/109" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Spacelessness</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/110" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Timelessness</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-5" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/280" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Voltaire</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-6" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/281" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Bakunin</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-7" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/274" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Nick Huggett</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-8" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/282" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Christian Wuthrich</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-9" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/270" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">David Gross</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-10" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/271" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Edward Witten</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-11" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/272" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Nathan Seiberg</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-12" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/273" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Donald D.

However, only time can tell whether that will really happen or not.</p> <p>Atheist2<br /> "Do you know one thing"<br /> I can tell you one thing: the claim you make following that is bunk.</p> <p>Me to Atheist2<br /> Once scientists have admitted that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent, now atheists can no longer hold their position without denouncing science. And here you have just done that which is expected from a dogmatic atheist.</p> <p>Atheist1 to Me</p> <p>"Once scientists have admitted that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent, now atheists can no longer hold their position without denouncing science." </p> <p>The only atheist position there is is clear in the word "atheism" it's self. That is we are without theism, "A" - without, "theism" - a belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe. We lack a god belief and/or we lack a conviction in the existence in any deities whatsoever, it's nothing more than that. Explain to me how your claim that scientists "admitted that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent" makes it so atheist denounce science by stating we don't have a god belief? Explain to me the logic in that.</p> <p>Me to Atheist1 </p> <p>It is not that there is only one reason due to which atheists have a lack of belief in the existence of god/gods; there are several reasons. Out of these several reasons two reasons are that as per atheists nothing can be spaceless and timeless and that nothing can be immaterial. Atheists can no longer deny the existence of god/gods on the basis of these two reasons without denouncing science. The case is closed for them forever. </p> <p>However there are other reasons also. Does the universe need any god? No, because everything in the universe, including its origin also, can be explained by natural means without invoking any kind of god/gods. At least this has been claimed by the atheistic scientists in general. But this is not true. There are some controversial cases also. Two such cases are origin of the universe and fine-tuning problem. </p> <p>Here atheists will say that fine-tuning problem is not at all a problem, because eternal inflation would give rise to infinite number of universes and fine-tuning problem can be solved very easily with multiverse hypothesis. But two scientists have raised serious doubt about the efficacy of multiverse hypothesis for solving the fine-tuning problem. </p> <p>Ethan Siegel in his article Yes, The Multiverse Is Real, But It Won't Fix Physics1 has written that ‘If cosmic inflation, General Relativity, and quantum field theory are all correct, the Multiverse likely is real, and we're living in it.’ But he has also added this reminder that ‘Just don't expect it to solve your most burning questions about the Universe. For that, you need physics you can put to an experimental or observable test. Until that day arrives, the consequences of a Multiverse will likely remain in the realm of science fiction: where they presently belong…The Multiverse is real, but provides the answer to absolutely nothing.’ </p> <p>But Hyun Seok Yang in his article Emergent Spacetime: Reality or Illusion?2 is more radical in his approach than Ethan Siegel, because as per him there would be no multiverse at all even if there would be inflation. Inflation theory was developed based on the assumption that spacetime was fundamental. But in case of emergent spacetime there would be no eternal inflation and so, there would be no multiverse. </p> <p>If multiverse is gone forever due to emergent spacetime, how will the scientists solve the fine-tuning problem without invoking some sort of intelligence behind the beginning of everything? </p> <p>And what will the atheists do then? Will they still cling to the multiverse hypothesis by denouncing science? </p> <p>Atheist1 to Me </p> <p>"It is not that there is only one reason due to which atheists have a lack of belief in the existence of god/gods; there are several reasons." </p> <p>Well if you actually comprehended my comment I spoke of atheists positions, not reasons. The position being "That is we are without theism, "A" - without, "theism" - a belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe." But since you mention it there IS only one reason, it would be the fact that atheists lack a conviction in God because of insufficient evidence. If you were to PROVE the existence of gods beyond a shadow of a doubt to an atheist then they wouldn't be an atheist anymore because belief isn't a choice. </p> <p>The claim that you make that atheists can no longer lack the conviction in god or gods without denouncing science on the basis that "scientists have admitted that spacetime is not fundamental but emergent" or that our universe is finely tuned is an unbridled and incredibly obvious logical fallacy. Nothing about these two claims PROVE definitively or uncover or point to or even suggest or hint in the slightest to the existence of a god or gods AT ALL, zero, nothing, nada. I challenge you to find me one legitimate piece of scientific literature that is peer reviewed and that is testable, repeatable, falsifiable, independently verifiable and has been published in a reputable scientific journal that states that deities are real, just one. Until you do so you're nothing but a snake oil salesman making logical fallacies, misrepresenting legitimate science and jumping to moronic conclusions to fit your agenda. I state this one more time, show me one piece of peer reviewed, scientific literature proving gods are real. I'll spoil it for you now, you will not be successful.</p> <p>Me to Atheist1 </p> <p>Suppose I put some simple questions to you. Will you please answer those questions? </p> <p>My first question will be: if there has never been any unicorn on this Earth, then should science give any evidence in support of its existence?</p> <p>Atheist1 to Me</p> <p>Science has never given evidence of unicorns or Gods/deities because there is no evidence for either. What you presented and asserted was evidence for deities a WAS NOT EVIDENCE FOR DEITIES. Stop wasting my time with nonsense. Now I will ask you show me peer reviewed scientific literature of testable, falsifiable, repeatable, demonstrable, concrete, independently verifiable evidence of god published in a scientific journal. Can you do that?? No? Then you have no evidence for god and you have no reason to believe. Now go away and stop wasting my time.</p> <p>Me to Atheist1 </p> <p>Do you have a nervous breakdown? Are you having a previous history of hysteria? Otherwise why such a violent reaction against a very simple question from my side?</p> <p>You have asked about some peer-reviewed evidence for God. May I ask you one question here? Are you still in your infancy that you require constant spoon-feeding from the peers? </p> <p>Do you know one bitter truth about these peers? These peers are very good in physics, but at the same time they are very bad in philosophy; actually they are some coarse-headed bad logicians. That is why they have taken more than hundred years of time for arriving at a conclusion that they could have arrived at very easily almost hundred years earlier when Einstein has proposed his special theory of relativity. In SR it has been shown that at the speed of light time totally stops and that even infinite distance becomes zero for light. The first one is the scientific explanation for timelessness and the second one is the same for spacelessness. As God has been called spaceless and timeless for thousands of years, so here either science was flawed, or if science could not be flawed, then definitely there was something objectively real in man’s imagination of God; God could not be purely imaginary. If they have argued like that at that time, then they could have very easily come to the conclusion that even if there was no God, still there was something spaceless and timeless in the universe for which SR had provided requisite explanation. So they could have said the same thing hundred years earlier what they are saying now that there is something non-spatiotemporal in the universe. </p> <p>And you want to depend on these peers for scientific proof of God! I am telling you very frankly that as they have taken almost hundred years for coming to such a simple conclusion, so they will take another hundred or two hundred years for coming to the conclusion that life, mind and consciousness are indeed fundamental and not emergent.</p> <p>Reference:<br /> 1. <a href=" /> 2. <a href="; </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Tags: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/113" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Universe</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/157" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Multiverse</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/53" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">space</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/54" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">time</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/109" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Spacelessness</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-5" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/110" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Timelessness</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-6" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/168" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Einstein</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-7" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/270" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">David Gross</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-8" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/271" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Edward Witten</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-9" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/272" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Nathan Seiberg</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-10" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/273" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Donald D.

I like Zeus... Can I study his word as the one and only truth? Odds are he's as right as Yahweh is or Allah or Odin or Shiva or Osiris or... You get the point' </p> <p>So the most crucial question is: which god? Because there are thousands of gods which man has imagined so far. Out of so many gods, which one is the true god? </p> <p>Actually there can be only one true God, a God who has created the universe. The answer is as simple as that. </p> <p>But how do we come to know that out of these thousands of gods which particular god has actually created the universe?</p> <p>There is an easy way out. First determine what will be the attributes of a creator god. Then find out which god out of these thousands of gods has these particular attributes of a creator god. Then that god will be the true god. </p> <p>So our next question will be: what are the attributes of this creator God? </p> <p>Anybody can find out what will be the attributes of this creator God if he/she is intelligent enough and if he/she can use his/her brain and logic properly. </p> <p>Here no spoon-feeding from the big peers is required at all. One's own intelligence is sufficient for this purpose. </p> <p>Universe has been created by God. </p> <p>Universe primarily means its space, time, matter and energy. </p> <p>So universe created by God will mean its space, time, matter and energy has been created by God. </p> <p>That will further mean that before creation by God there was no space, no time, no matter and no energy. </p> <p>That will again mean that before creation God was in no space and time and that God did not contain any matter and energy. </p> <p>That is the reason as to why theists always describe their God as spaceless, timeless and immaterial. </p> <p>So a creator God will always be spaceless, timeless and immaterial, because this is the one and the only one logically possible consequence of being the creator of a universe. </p> <p>Now let us ask ourselves this question: have Zeus, Ganesha, Poseidon, Santa, Easter Bunny, Odin, Thor, Shiva, Appollo, Osiris or any other mythical gods that we can think of, ever been described as spaceless, timeless and immaterial? </p> <p>If not, then none of these mythical gods can qualify himself as a probable candidate for the post of this creator God, because logic dictates that a creator God will always be spaceless, timeless and immaterial. </p> <p>But God of almost all the major religions all over the world has been repeatedly described as spaceless and timeless. </p> <p>Actually spacelessness and timelessness are the two most common major attributes of God of the religions throughout the world. Mystics who claim that they have direct encounter with God have also described their God as spaceless and timeless. </p> <p>But where is the evidence that there is such a creator God?</p> <p>Scientists have also faithfully served the purpose of this creator God by showing as to how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless (SR), whereas they could also have shown just the opposite, that no one or nothing could be spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>Yes, they could also have shown that no one or nothing could be spaceless and timeless if it was the job of the scientists to manufacture truth.</p> <p>In that case they could have very easily falsified science and shown that no one or nothing could be spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>In that case all our arguments for a creator God would have stopped then and there.</p> <p>But it is not the job of the scientists to manufacture truth but to discover it. So they had to show what they were supposed to show: THE TRUTH AS IT IS.</p> <p>So they had to show how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>Thus they have failed to suppress the truth that it is really possible to be spaceless and timeless. </p> <p>It is most important for us believers that science has failed to suppress the truth that it is possible to be spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>[Here, am I not insulting the whole scientific community by suggesting that they can even think of suppressing any scientific truth? </p> <p>No, hereby I am merely uttering one bitter truth about some modern day scientists who so vehemently deny the existence of God that practically nothing is impossible for them, not even suppressing some scientific truth that may eventually point to a creator God.]</p> <p>By showing how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless, science has actually given its validation to our concept of a spaceless and timeless God. It has indirectly said here that from the scientific point of view it is not impossible for someone to be spaceless and timeless. </p> <p>Logic dictates that a creator God will always be spaceless and timeless and science has also given its full support to this logical conclusion by showing as to how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless. </p> <p>Thus both logic and science converge here and point to a single entity: creator God. </p> <p>Based on this fact alone it can safely be said that mathematics of SR points to a creator God whose two major attributes are his spacelessness and timelessness. </p> <p>If atheists deny the existence of this spaceless and timeless God, then they will have to answer this question: if no one or nothing in this universe is spaceless and timeless, then why was it necessary for science to show as to how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless?</p> <p>When I have pointed out to some atheists that God is called spaceless and timeless and that in SR science has also shown how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless, they have desperately tried to falsify science.

Recently I have come across another instance of this. </p> <p>In one YouTube video comment section one person has written that theists are hilarious because they demand evidence for a multiverse, although they cannot provide any evidence for their God. He has also written that at least multiverse has intensely strong mathematical support behind it. </p> <p>In reply I have to write to him that if multiverse has mathematical support behind it, then God also has mathematical support behind him, because two equations of SR have already shown how it is possible to be spaceless, timeless and immortal. I also write to him that scientists are heavily biased and partial in their search for truth, because they consider multiverse as highly probable based on the mathematics of inflation theory, but these same scientists totally ignore God as probable, although there is mathematical support behind God also. </p> <p>Here comes another person saying that I am kidding and that there is no math that even hints at the existence of my particular God and that a fair amount of shoehorning is going on there.</p> <p>As he has commented that there is no math that hints at the existence of my particular God, so I have to explain to him in detail that the two equations of SR shows how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless. As God is called spaceless and timeless and as SR has also shown how a state of spacelessness and timelessness can obtain, so from this it can be said that mathematics of SR suggests it is highly probable there is a God.</p> <p>But this fails to convince him and he sticks to his opinion that I am shoehorning God into science. He also says that if I claim the probable existence of my God in this way, then in a similar way one can also claim the probable existence of other gods like the Greek Primordial Entity Chaos or the Hindu gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, or the Egyptian god Atum, any of which could be this Universe's creator instead of my particular God. </p> <p>So I have to write to him that in the whole history of mankind only one God has been described as spaceless and timeless and that this God is the traditional God of almost all the religions all over the world. I also mention that even mystics have described their God as spaceless and timeless. I also write to him that if one wants to put all the other mythical gods in the same bracket with this traditional God, then one will definitely be mistaken. I also request him to mention one single god other than the traditional God of the religions who has been described as spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>But he does not comply. Rather he asks me to point to the text in my Bible that contains the terms 'timeless' and 'spaceless'. </p> <p>Below are the two replies of mine that have been deleted:</p> <p>Reply one: Perhaps you are not much educated. That is why you think that every person who believes in God is a Christian and that the Bible is his/her religious text. I am a Hindu, but I do not depend on any religious text for my belief. </p> <p>Here is a quote from Dr. William Lane Craig who is well known as a Christian apologist and a good debater: </p> <p>“And then on the rest of the page it’s fairly obvious how I deduce the remainder of these attributes which form the central core of the theistic notion of God: a personal Creator, uncaused, beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, enormously powerful, and intelligent. In the words of Thomas Aquinas, this is what everybody means by God.”1 </p> <p>Ref:<br /> 1. <a href="; </p> <p>In the above quote it has been mentioned that God is spaceless and timeless.</p> <p>Reply 2: You can also read the book ‘Mysticism and Philosophy’ by W. T. Stace, Chapter 2, Section 11: Conclusions, pages 131-132, by google search. </p> <p>Ref: WT Stace: Mysticism and Philosophy-wudhi.com</p> <p>As the above two replies of mine have been deleted, so the impression one will get after going through the whole dialogue is that I have failed to establish my point because I could not produce the required text from the Bible which will further imply that the atheist has the last laugh here.</p> <p>The truth is that atheists cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that one scientific theory (SR) has shown how it is possible to be spaceless and timeless and that at the same time religions have also described their God as spaceless and timeless. So either they try to show that SR is not a valid scientific theory2, or they try to show that mystics’ timelessness and scientists’ timelessness are not the same3, or when they cannot do anything of these, they directly suppress their opponent’s voice.</p> <p>Reference:<br /> 1. <a href=" /> 2. <a href=" /> 3. <a href="; </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Tags: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/123" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">God</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/121" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Spaceless</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/122" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Timeless</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/148" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Immortal</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/208" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Uncaused</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-5" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/209" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Beginningless</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-6" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/147" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Changeless</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-7" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/149" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Immaterial</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-8" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/210" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Intelligent</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-9" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/?q=taxonomy/term/109&q

Don’t forget your Osterhase Eggs!!EostreThe Easter Bunny, ah, is not ‘bunny’ or 'Bunnywabbit' at all, but is actually an Hare.The Hare was the sacred animal of Eostre [or Oestra or Ostera], the ancient Teutonic Goddess of the Spring Moon. At the time of the vernal equinox [March or April] the hares are famed for going ‘mad as a March Hare', and it was at this time of the year that out of character for its species, one of Eostre’s hares laid an egg.Not just any old egg, for this was the Egg of a New Life - the Eostre Egg.From Kit Williams - Masquerade, that made me and 1000's of others dig up country Manor lawns, golf courses and wherever we thought the "Golden hare" was buried!Though isn't Easter a Christian festival marking Jesus Christ’s resurrection after dying on the cross, and not a ceremony to a Pagan hare-headed goddess?Well of course it is, as actually it’s both.[Please note, for some reason 'advertising', certain words seem to be getting highlighted in red and underlined. - I have tried erasing them and retyping and again in edit mode, but them it seems to randomly select another word? - So do ignore them, as you'll see if you place your cursor on the word, up pops an advert, which has fuck all to do with me, and I'm not on any commission!]Synod of WhitbyAfter much debate at the Synod of Whitby in the 5th Century, the ‘Christian Easter’ is destined to fall roughly around the same time as the ‘Pagan Easter’ due to its association to the Judaic Passover, - which is also fixed by the lunar cycle.Both these festivals could also be said to reflect new life, either Christ’s return from the dead or the blossom and birth of Spring. So with that in mind, it was not too much of a stretch of the imagination for the "Christian Church" to merge both festivals together.And this is what is known as ‘assimilation’ and was a habit frequently employed in those times to ease and encourage, rather than to force it down the throats in their conversion of wild heathens that trod these lands.Easter - The East-Star, is all about fertility, reborn, rebirth and the Lions Paw and all that; “...the raising of Hiram Abif” in Freemasonry, - what Faberge's eggs symbolise and why Lady Gaga came on stage in an “egg”.Rebirth of Hiram AbifLady Gaga goes to work in an Egg Like I say, it's not really a Rabbit, as pagan tradition fits more comfortably with the Hare, for “eggs”, like hares and rabbits are also fertility symbols of ancient times.  Since birds lay eggs and hares and rabbits give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox.  The Vernal EquinoxThe origins of an egg-laying bunny wabbit in the USA came about in the 18th century, when German immigrants in the Pennsylvania Dutch area told their children about the "Osterhas",  also spelt “Osterhase", ‘Hase’ means "hare", and in Northwest European folklore, the "Easter Bunny" indeed is a hare, not a rabbit.Has, Has, Osterhas - Musik: Volkslied - Text: Paula Dehmel [1862-1918]Has, Has, Easter Bunny, We do not want to wait any longer. The crocus and daisies, Forget-me-nots and tulips stand been long in unser'm garden.Father ChristmasFather Christmas is a combination of both the Holly King [of Hollywood], the personification of the Pagan winter festival of Yule-Tide and Santa Claus, and the Eastern Saint Nicholas who represents the Christian Advent-Tide.He is both these things and more, a curious conglomerate of various Heathen and Christian motifs. He was once accompanied by strange and ill-tempered dwarves such as Knecht Ruprecht and Balck Peter, who would whip impatient, greedy and badly-behaved children with birch-wood canes.St. Nicholas and Black Peter..."Dave, is that you Dave, Dave..."Papa Lazarous - "Hello Dave" from the series 'League of Gentlemen'Knecht RuprechtIn America and in modern day in general, there’s been what we could call a rather misconception about the Christmas character that is largely unrecognised, as Knecht Ruprecht, is the scary and even sinister companion to Saint Nicholas.  The red cloak of Saint NichlosWhat does Ruprecht do with that rod of his? Is this not where the origins and traditions of corporal punishment, such as the Birch on the Isle of Man, or the Cane at school came from?As he beats children who have been bad, naughty and not that very nice!Knecht RuprechtKnecht Ruprecht, who has different personas in different nations.  In some eastern European countries Knecht Ruprecht is called "Krampus", an horned beast, - and perhaps where we get the term; "He's got the horn", or is that a gun in his pocket"?Bush and other world leaders love giving it the Krampus greeting!!The KallikantzaroiThe Kallikantzaroi, are a kind of deformed Greek fairy/ies that appear during the 12 days of Christmas '...my true love said to me...; At night they make a procession through the streets in good old Rodeo fashion riding on animals or chickens backs.  They are the size of small children, but monstrous little buggers with oversized heads, tusks and other attributes of animals - and the film; Gremlins comes to mind.  They will torment those they encounter, though they finally leave at the Epiphany, to return the following Christmas!"Only Coca-Cola" - "That dam Cocaine goes everywhere...slurp!Modern day Santa Claus has been so watered down, it's like American beer, as we actually love the old toad, so much so my aunty Bess often helps "Santa" empty his sack, as he's been known to have the odin, I mean odd accident, and could often be seen to shed his load!From an Odin archetype, we now have a fat Coca-Cola styled jolly old chap alongside his frightening little helper, who has been transformed into a harmless elf toy maker of Lapland, "We had to sell-out, we had no choice, have you seen the price of Raindeers" Odin KingYet there is something primal about the combination of the original version of the European Saint Nicholas and old Knecht Ruprecht, though it's said there’s a true-life message behind all this folklore, and after all it’s what gives fairy tales their influence.  Children are taught that life does not always provide gifts and joy.  Side by side with happiness is desperation and despair, and that on that one day we might have plenty to eat, when the next we may be starving. Appreciate it when there is plenty, for hard times are always lurking nearby, like Ruprecht with his rod of punishment, - life’s duality is indeed a hard lesson and bitter Blue or Red pill to swallow.According to the legend, and like that of Santa Claus, it’s only good children who receive “coloured eggs” in the nests they made in the form of their caps and bonnets before Easter, and like at Christmas time when an old stocking or sock is used.One of the Brothers Grimm, Jacob, wrote in 1835, of a long-standing myth in Germany itself. Grimm suggested that these derived from legends of the reconstructed continental Germanic goddess Ostara.Jacob with Shriner like Fez [1785 - 1803] & brother Wilhel Grimm [1786 - 1859]      Ostara, Bunnies and Eggs; 'Sanctuaries without Walls'That it’s hardly surprising that rabbits and hares should become fertility symbols, or that their springtime mating antics should enter into realms of Easter folklore.Chocolate Easter BilbyThe Aussies have Easter Bilby’s, - Bilbies are native Australian marsupial, as they had no "European" rabbits until some idiot introduced them into the wild, and they did what they do, which is breed like rabbit's and ravaged the continent for decades.Myxomatosis is a disease discovered in 1896, in Uruguay, where it causes sporadic lethal infections in the American cottontail species (Sylvilagus sp.). The virus has spread over the entire American continent, and has become endemic in some regions.It was soon discovered that the European rabbit, (Oryctolagus cuniculi) was very sensitive to this virus, causing severe skin abscesses, infections, and ultimately death.In the 1950se, the myxomatosis virus was introduced and spread among wild rabbits in Australia, in order to reduce its population.This operation decimated almost all the wild rabbit population, except a few individuals that seemed resistant to this virus. The surviving rabbits started to reproduce offspring and colonised the country anew. In Europe, the virus spread rapidly and has now become endemic in some regions, which are populated by the European rabbit.Many Christians to this day typically dye their Easter eggs red, in recognition of the blood of the Christ, thus the renewal of life in springtime. If green in colour, it’s in honour of the new leaves and foliage emerging after the dead of winter.German Protestants wanted to retain the Catholic custom of eating coloured eggs for Easter, but did not want to introduce their children to the Catholic rite of fasting. Eggs were forbidden to Catholics during the fast of Lent, which was the reason for the abundance of eggs at Easter time, the end of Lent.Many of my Catholic "friends", do this each year, then they scoff their little appy faces off with chocey running all down their chiny chin-chins as soon as the time arrives!However my droogs, if we are trying to uncover the truth of the matter, we have to go back even further and before the likes of “Christ” was even contemplated and created by man.The “Eastern Star” in Christian tradition, is the same Star of Bethlehem, also called the Christmas Star, which revealed the birth of Jesus to the Magi, that later led them onto old Bether’s. The star appears in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where Magi "from the East" are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem.  The Magi [and where surely the origins the word Magic derives from], are also referred to as the Three Wise Men, or Three Kings, or Kings from the East or Orient, okay droogs let's pump up the volume;"We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light". The only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, states that they came "from the East" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews."Though in the East, the “Magi” traditionally number twelve, and their identification as “Kings” in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, “May all kings fall down before him”.  Which is rather a nice and convenient way and clause to then slip into the writings of the Bible, that makes it perfectly acceptable that “Kings” should rule “us” on “behalf” of thy “Lord”, - how dumber can you get, yet around a billion people love to play this game, - though I don’t blame them, as they have been lied to after all.The Star of Ishtar from Al Manning's "The Magic of New Ishtar Power"All droogs have to know, as it was a long time ago and before baby Jesus was even invented; there were these bad boys and girls:Bast"What the hell you talking about, it's the Virgin Mary and Child", - well actually it's Isis and baby HorusNergalRAIshtarOsirisMardukThoth as IbisTo understand ancient “Star” symbolism, and let’s not forget the Sun is a star, our Sun is our major Star, that without it we’d all be brown bread, - is to understand the major religions. In the ancient world they used one particular symbol for the Sun’s journey through the year.  And this is still a fundamental symbol used by the Babylonian Masonic Brotherhood whom too are of course part of the Catholic Church.  It symbolised both the Phoenician depictions of Barati and was on the shield of her British expression – Britannia, which found its way on that countries coinage.The ancients took the circle of the zodiac [a Greek word meaning animal circle] and inserted a cross to mark the four seasons.   At the centre of the cross, they placed a symbol of the Sun.   Many of the pre-Christian deities were also said to have been born on December 25th merely because of this symbolism, which is between December 2lst-22nd, we have the winter solstice when in the northern hemisphere, the Sun is at the lowest point of its power in the annual cycle.  The ancients see this as the Sun had symbolically ‘died’.  Then by December 25th, the Sun had demonstrably begun its symbolic journey back towards spring, then summer the peak period of its power.  Ra the Sun GodThe ancients therefore said that the ‘Sun was born’ [the Sun of God, the Son God, which to the Egyptians is Ra], on December 25th.  The Christian Christmas the ‘Son was born’ is merely a renamed Pagan festival, as indeed are all the Christian festivals.  Easter is another one, as around March 25th, the old fixed date for Easter, the Sun enters the astrological sign of Aries the Ram or the Lamb, ready for the slaughter, for its this time the ancients used to sacrifice lambs because they believed this would appease and please the gods, most notably the “Sun God”, thus ensuring an abundant harvest and a jolly spring.TammuzIn ancient Babylon, Tammuz, the son of Queen Semiramis was said to have been ‘crucified’ with a lamb at his feet and his body was placed in a cave.  It was through the merger of Sun worship and Christianity that the day of worship was moved to Sun-day. Every day of the week in our Roman calendar is devoted to a different pagan deity:Sun-day: the Sun Mon-day: the Moon Tues-day: Tiews (The Nordic equivalent of Mars) Wednes-day: Woden (equivalent to Mercury) Thurs-day: Thor (Equivalent to Jupiter) Fri-day: Freya (Equivalent to Venus and Aphrodite) Satur-day: Saturn Because Constantine was a Sun worshiper, he moved all worship to Sunday, forbidding Christians and Jews to worship on the Sabbath. Today the church has been so indoctrinated into this practice that they refer to Sunday as the Sabbath day. This is but one more example of the corruptions of Babylon. The corruptions of Christianity due to its merger with Sun worship are many, and few realise the extent of them. Many Christians speak of “Sun-day worship” and “Sun-day school,” not realising the origin and meaning of what it is they are saying. Even depictions of the Christ bear the marks of Sun worship. Jesus - No, it's Apollo This above picture is easily mistaken as a painting of Christ, I always thought that's who it must be, or some Saint. It is actually a painting of Apollo. The “solar halo,” also called a nimbus, was very common in depictions of deities that were related to the Sun and Sun worship.ApolloDue to Catholicism’s deep ties to Sun worship, symbols of the Sun are found in its abundance This is a picture of the Pope carrying what is very obviously an image of the Sun. The sacrament of the Mass observed by Catholics is rife with Sun images. Even the wafer that is supposed to represent the body of Christ is in the shape of a solar disk. It is this which is held in the center of the image above. These solar wafers were used in the observance of pagan rites. In contrast, at the Passover supper the Lord took unleavened bread and "broke" it, he tore it to pieces, and didn't not carve it into neat little thin circles that represent the Sun and pass it out to all his buddies and say; “This is My body broken for you. Eat this in remembrance of Me.” Nor did they mark this observance on Sun-day. That fish symbol you see on the back of many a "believers" car, had long been employed in pagan religions, for it was a symbol of Venus [yes that lil ol planet often refered to as the Morning Star, - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, or just good ol Lucifer to others], as well as Bacchus. In The Two Babylons, Alexander Hyslop writes, "Icthus, or the Fish, was one of the names of Bacchus." Bacchus was another name for Tammuz, the Sun-deity. The worship of the fish deity is found in Scripture as we read of Dagon, the fish god of the Philistines. The priests of Dagon wore fish shaped hats. It is from this that the Catholics obtained the Mitre. Note that this priest of Dagon is sprinkling water, just like the Catholics do in their rituals. Did you ever stop to question where the Catholic Church gets all of its costumes and symbols? The Catholics say they trace the lineage of the popes back to Peter, yet you show me where Peter can be found dressed in such a way.   Remember droogs, I'm an agnostic borderline atheist, so don't give a toss what he wore, I'm here to help you seek the truth that's all. Regarding the appearance of the Ichthus symbol in Christianity, Alexander Hyslop writes: About the very time that the Bishop of Rome was invested with the pagan title of Pontifex, the Savior began to be called Ichthys, or “the Fish,” thereby identifying Him with Dagon, or the fish-god; and that, ever since, advancing step by step, as circumstances would permit, what has gone under the name of the worship of Christ, has just been the worship of that same Babylonian divinity, with all its rites and pomp and ceremonies, precisely as in ancient Babylon. - Source: The Two Babylons, page 370. So why is it the Catholic church eats fish every Friday?Where did this custom come from?When the Constellation of the Bull [Taurus] was rising at the Equinox, folks were “washed in the blood of the bull” - The Egyptians also annually slew a sacred bull in atonement for the sins of the realm. The concept was that the blood of one god, or the symbol of that god, could cleanse the sins of many.  However, after two thousand or so years the spring equinox slipped from Taurus, the Bull, into Aries, The Ram, and this heralded the birth of yet another new god, this time emerging from the Israelites.Aries taking the Bull by its horn and nose; the most sensative part of this beast of an animal and why the 'ring' it.They distinguished themselves from the bull-worshippers by using the blood of the lamb as a sacred fluid and symbol. For Moses was leading his people,chosen with lamb’s blood, to a new religion. This was the new world age marked by Aries and thus a new god was required.Let's take a bucthers hook at the Romans, they worshiped Aphrodite Salacia.Pisces began the lead position in the Zodiac around 2,000 years ago when the spring equinox heliacal rising slipped from Aries the Ram to Pisces the Fishes. However this was never a clear distinction, as Pisces is such a large constellation and its two fish reaching through the sky actually encompass the stars of Aries.The coming of the age of Pisces, the "new world order", was eagerly awaited as it was heralded by a triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces in the year 6 BCE and Virgil, in his Fourth Eclogue, announced it would be the return of the Golden Age. This conjunction was the astronomical highlight of the time, eagerly awaited and then watched and was later named, in Christian mythology, the Star of Bethlehem. But the fish was an ancient symbol long before it was adopted by the new god. The Greeks incorporated the Fish as a sacred symbol through Aphrodite in her form as a fish-goddess called Aphrodite Salacia. Aphrodite Salacia - "Fish anyone?"Freya was the Scandinavian equivalent of Aphrodite.Aphrodite Salacia was a fertility goddess. The worshipers of Aphrodite ate fish on Fridays and engaged in orgies, alright some it could be argued. Fish is considered an “aphrodisiac.”, any Oysters and Champange come to mind, as does a line of Charlie, - from the name of 'Aphrodite Salacia' we also get the word “salacious,” which is defined as “intended to arouse people sexually", as one can easily get a boner under such conditions. Outside the oldest Roman Catholic church in Macon, Georgia, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. This shrine outside the church contains the Pyramid and All Seeing Eye of Freemasonry [note the sunburst behind the cross.] It includes the cross, which is a symbol of Tammuz, who is Nimrod reborn, the god of the Sun. This is signified also by the solar burst behind the Tau-cross. It has an image of Mary, who is modeled after Semiramis, the Queen of Heaven, the mother of Tammuz and wife of Nimrod. "Macon" is the French word for Mason. Both Freemasonry and Roman Catholicism trace their roots back to Babylon. The city of Macon was laid out by its Masonic founders after the street design of ancient Babylon, a fact attested on the local Chamber of Commerce, but isn't that what they say about the layout of Washington and London among many other cities."Owl! What Owl? I see no bloody Owl on the layout of Washington, you talk a load of Molochs, - must be some crazed conspiracy theorist!" When one opens ones eyes, they can clearly see the incredible influence of the Babylonians within the Catholic church, as it's found everywhere, though strange how a billion or so can't?The Rock that was Rolled from Jesus' tombRolling StonesJay Z's RocawearRockefeller, Rock n Roll, Roll Away the Stone, the Rolling Stones and even Rocawear comes to mind, as it's said that a rock was rolled away from the cave’s entrance three days later, and his body had disappeared, but no I’m not talking about “Jesus”, this is the legend of Tammuz, as that's what allegedlly happened to them as well!! You really couldn't make this kind of shit up, you really couldn't, well surely you wouldn't be able to get away with such a farce, - could you?Circa 400BCThe ancients also symbolised the Sun as a newborn baby in December, as a youth at Easter time and as an immensely powerful and strong man in the summer, whilst becoming an ageing olded man losing his power in the autumn period, then an actual old man by the time of the winter solstice.Old Father time present New Blood for the SpringThe modern depiction of ‘Old Father Time’ is a version of this event.  They also symbolised the Sun as having long golden hair, the ‘rays of the sun’ which got shorter as he lost his power in the months of autumn.  Now look again at the Old Testament story of ‘Samson’ = ‘Sam-sun’, he was incredibly strong and had long hair, but he lost his power when his hair was cut. Samson bringing the Masonic pillars to the ground... Samson about to lose his bacon from DelilahHis problems started when he entered the House of Delilah - the astrological ‘house’ of Virgo, the virgin, through which the Sun passes as autumn approaches, summoning his last burst of power, ‘Sam-the-Sun’, pushes down the two pillars, which are classic Masonic Brotherhood symbolism going back at least to ancient Egypt and are still used by the Freemasons today.  Samson is ‘Sam Sun’ – a symbolic story of the Sun’s annual cycle.  The Bibles version of Samson is purely fictitious there wasn’t really any such person.  In Hebrew, Samson = the ‘God of the Sun’.     To the orthodox Christian, Jesus is the only begotten Son of God who died so our Sins could be forgiven.  But you will find exactly the same claims for a stream of other ‘gods’ in the ancient world ‘long before’ the name of ‘Jesus’ was even heard of.  Indeed, we know his name wasn’t Jesus because that’s a Greek translation of a Hebrew name.  The term ‘Son of God’ would seem to originate at least as far back as the Aryan Gothic kings of Cilicia who took the title ‘Son of the Sun God’, a tradition adopted by the Pharaohs of Egypt.  ‘Jesus’ to others he was claiming to be the King of the ‘Jews’ by right of his King David bloodline.  But did Jesus, Moses, Solomon and King David actually ever exist, anymore than that of Alice in Wonderland?  Apart from the texts in the bible, there is not much credible evidence they actually did, so if this is the case where perhaps did they spring from and more importantly were they not more metaphoric symbols, as it’s much easier for the ‘common man’ to be able relate to by simply putting a name to a person ‘in the image of man’, than it is to name and describe a celestial body such as the Sun, as a deity or God to man, and then count on non educated people to be expected to understand complex issues such as astrology and astronomy, it far more easier to put it across as a, metaphor disguised as ‘fable, tale and story’ with the ‘once upon a time there were three kings, a virgin mother and an immaculate birth as opposed to trying and explain Equinox’s, various dates, seasons, centres of the cross, solstices etc. etc. and besides they didn’t want the ‘low life scum’ to know the truth, in fact they still don’t want ‘us’ to know the truth!And why many will scoff at this article, like as if I'm worried ;-)"Can you see Alice?" - Said the Mad March HareAh what a wonderful wonderland we live in, so with all this in mind my fellow droogs, have a lovely Eastern Star this Ēostre, though try not to go too mad!See More]]> Sun, 31 Mar 2024 15:44:03 +0000 1135140809 Exposure favorited DTOM's discussion British Govt caught 'censoring' report that suggests it’s using drones to assassinate people Exposure favorited DTOM's discussion British Govt caught 'censoring' report that suggests it’s using drones to assassinate people]]> Thu, 28 Dec 2023 23:20:57 +0000 1134071556 Exposure's blog post was featured Exposure's blog post was featuredCANNIBALISM - 21st CENTURY FINE DINING...Most folks think of cannibalism as something straight out of a B-Movie or Mayan and Polynesian ancient cultures and that the practice died out long ago.  Though many more will be shocked to see that it’s probably as prolific today as it was when both Queen Mary II and her uncle King Charles II first too participated in such “fine cuisine.”   Accounts of cannibalism date back as far as Biblical times and it’s quite obvious cannibalism was common in human societies and has been taking place since “man” first stepped onto the earth.   Like many others, I too have had my share of fine dining, done the Ritz, Hilton, Ivy, Kettner’s.  So I’ve tasted all types of cuisines; from sheep’s eyes to testicles, insects, snakes, eels, and basically most kinds of meats and fish dishes from around the world.  Now I’ve never quite sat around a dining table and discussed what human meat would taste like, nor ever enquired for a ’Special Fried Leg.’  Though the conversation of eating another “person” has on occasion come up, say following watching a film about the survivors of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, also known as the Andes flight disaster, in South America.  On 13 October 1972, a chartered flight carrying 45 passengers crashed in the Andes. Only 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972.  Faced with starvation, the survivors ate some of the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow.   So, it’s at times like this I’ve talked about it, and questioned myself ‘What would I do in a similar life or death situation?’   I assume I would have succumbed to what those survivors of Flight 571 had to. It’s a hard call to make, and until you're in such dire straits, how can you possibly tell?  But hey, this is far from sitting around a candlelight table and wondering what the hell a baby’s arm or leg may taste like - and how would it be best to prepare and cook?  Suckling pig, when cooked to perfection, is indeed very succulent and tasty.  And following on from what some folk, like William Seabrook, have said about what human flesh tastes like and that the Cannibal Club recommends, “The meat we serve is selected only from the young and healthy,” - then I suppose the suckling pig route would perhaps be the best way to go.  But that’s just discussing the matter here;  Would I want to actually eat another person? Then I’m not so sure. ‘Not so sure!’ You may gasp and ask.  The reason I have to be totally honest and open is that this taboo subject of cannibalism is indeed very real, so I’m putting the questions to myself to save others from having to do so.  Have I ever wondered what we [humans] taste like? - Yes.  Have I ever tasted one of us? -  No.  Would I? - No, but... ....in particular circumstances, such as those on Flight 571, then yes, I probably would.  Though I'm sure I'd feel sick in the process, as it’s more in the mind than in the taste.  I understand there is a morality issue here and that's one of the reasons I decided to take a look closer at the subject.  Though if someone cooked you a dish and told you it was pork or veal, then you’d very likely be none the wiser and enjoy it, unless, of course, you were a vegetarian. The Royals and Elites have long been famed for their love of lavish banquets and rich recipes.  Though what is less well known, according to Dr Sugg, in his book Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires, which delves into the dark world of medicinal cannibalism, the British royals loved the taste of human flesh.  As recently as the end of the 18th century, British royalty swallowed and ate parts of the human body.However, this was not a practice reserved for the monarchy only, no, as it was widespread among the well-to-do in Europe, and I take it the rest of the world, and why and when would they have stopped this practice?It's hardly as if someone is policing this "underworld" of "fine cuisine" - and that no one has stood up and declared such practices ought to be abolished. And like said, ‘Why would they stop this practice today?’Despite they were denouncing those ‘barbaric cannibals’ of the New World and calling them savages, they were themselves feasting, drinking, or wearing ground-down Egyptian mummies, human fat, flesh, bone, blood, brains or skin; -'...the finest thinnest of crackling.'  Dr Sugg said, ‘The human body has been widely used as a therapeutic agent with the most popular treatments involving flesh, bone or blood.’  Whilst James I had refused to take the human skull, his grandson Charles II loved the idea so much so that he bought the recipe.  Having paid £6,000 for this, he often distilled human skull himself in his private laboratory. Dr Sugg's research was featured in a Channel 4 Time Team documentary with Tony Robinson, in which they reconstructed versions of older cannibalistic medicines with the help of pigs' brains, blood, and skull, when surely all they had to do was go to The Cannibal Club.   In the Channel 4 documentary - Cannibals of Stone Age: - It showed us that in the German Hamlet of Herxheim, archaeologists excavating a 7000-year-old mass grave of up to 1000 Stone Age people have concluded that the site was not a Neolithic graveyard, as previously assumed, but a killing field where hundreds of men, women, and children met a grisly fate.Scholars now believe that Stone Age Europe was much more violent than previously thought, and some scientists believe the bodies in Herxheim were murdered, cooked, and cannibalised in sacrificial rites that drew participants from hundreds of miles away.It's a possibility that calls into question much of what we thought we knew about civilisation and forces us to face the fact that cannibalism and human sacrifice may be undeniable parts of our human history.The Cannibal Club According to an article in the Financial Times by Gillian Tett, December 1, 2017In 1863, a group of Victorian men assembled in a London club. They were there to create the Cannibal Club, a so-called anthropological society that, its members hoped, would explore far-flung cultures to uncover what made humans tick, even cannibals.This might seem like a strange snapshot of long-forgotten Victorian history, but it has considerable relevance today. The club was not composed purely of professors with an academic interest in exploration. Many members belonged to the so-called Corporation of Foreign Bondholders, which was linked to the London Stock Exchange. In the 19th century, the British Empire was expanding, creating new trade and business opportunities around the globe. That prompted London financiers to extend credit to remote parts of Asia, Latin America, and Africa, as well as parts of North America."The Cannibal Club is such a source of shame that its existence has been airbrushed from most university courses." - Gillian Tett.The creepy truth of cannibalism is that it‘s never gone away.  Knowing that many of the elites and royalty love to tuck into a medium-rare human butt-cheek or thigh, one can't help but wonder if following the French Revolution. (One must ponder: - 'Did any of the royals or elites get eaten in revenge, necessity, or sheer want during this period in time?) In WWI and WWII, the "food" available for their banquets must have been abundant and immense, though they are hardly going to step forward and admit that’s what they have done and still do so today.  Modern-day Cannibal Club According to the proprietor of the Cannibal Club, Elspeth Blake (seen below), she states, “Cannibalism, as traditionally practised, usually shows respect to the deceased, who is desired to be reborn into the living, or offered as a worthy sacrifice to some deity. It is never our practice to debase or objectify human life. Arguments against cannibalism are typically grounded in ignorance, cultural prejudice, and nonsensical spiritual beliefs.” So, like most things in this world, it’s kept well secret and hidden behind guarded doors.   Until now, that is and with the resurrection of places like the Cannibal Club, which has already been trading for over six years.  We know how some folk are particular about everything in life, they want the best of this and the finest of that; that’s why the best cuts of meat of an animal can be extremely expensive.  To give you an idea as to what the rich are willing to pay for "everyday" food dressed up, here's an American example: A day spent indulging in the world's most expensive meals will set you back a stonking $95,065 more than the average American household's annual income.In New York City, The Big Apple, it will cost $1,000 for a frittata at Norma's Restaurant, made with potatoes, a pound of lobster, and ten ounces of caviar.  Other items on the menu include sushi wrapped in 24k gold leaf and topped with pearls, truffle salad and 'bacon-bling' - a sandwich served with black truffles, gold leaf, gold dust, and saffron.Some of the foods have such a hefty price tag because they are rare or "difficult to source" - like the Wagyu ribeye lunch at Craftsteak restaurant in New York City.  This expensive cut, which costs $2,800, comes from cows raised in Hyogo, Japan, which are fed beer and are regularly massaged to make their meat extra tender.And Albarragena Jamón Iberico de Bellota, a ham that can be purchased at a London restaurant for an incredible $2,682, is made from pigs fed exclusively on acorns and roots. The pigs are then slaughtered and cured for three years before consumed by diners.  The bill for all the breakfast items amounts to $5,200, and the total cost of the five-course lunch - including appetiser, first course, soup, second course and dessert - would be $63,670.The decadent dinner would cost you $31,395, and the total cost of all the dishes adds up to an eye-watering $95,065.  SourceEvery meat has its own texture, flavour, aroma and taste.  Smoked, and it will produce a strong, potent, full-bodied flavour that can be altered in taste according to which type of wood you use to smoke it.  Slaughtered - then cooked-smoked Gorilla Bush-Meat. The same must be said about “Bush-Meat” and where there’s a huge black-market for animal meat from the jungle-bush, and of every species of animal, including primates, are slaughtered and sold.  The Vietnamese and Chinese have long loved the delicacy of Monkey brains as much as many an African loves the taste of Gorilla or Chimpanzee meat.So it must go without saying; if human meat is supposed to be the sweetest and tender of all meats, especially if young, then they are going to want to prefer to eat that, as opposed to the fillet steak they have long grown weary of.   Though we can see it’s a very small sector of society who participate in cannibalism, as otherwise, we wouldn’t have such mass burial sites and graveyards all over the world; and you’ll probably find it’s those who live in remote parts of the world, psychopathic serial killers or the elite who do so.    Take Sagawa, a Japanese student completing an English Literature degree in Paris. He met a fellow student, shot her on June 11, 1981. After her death, he proceeded to cannibalise her over the next two days. Due to an alleged paperwork error, it allowed Sagawa to simply check himself out of a mental institution after a little more than a year in confinement.He is now a free man living in Japan!The counter argument and those in favour of cannibalism think we should eat our loved ones; that as a direct result, we wouldn’t need to produce so much meat, beef, lamb or pork, thus it will reduce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and ozone.  Elspeth BlakeThe Cannibal Club specialises in the serving-up of human flesh, described on their website, “Specialising in the preparation of human meat, the Cannibal Club in Los Angeles brings ‘the cutting edge of experimental cuisine’ to the refined palates of L.A.’s cultural elite.  We celebrate artistic excellence as the natural and inevitable expression of the unbridled human spirit.” Their master chefs hail from around the world for the opportunity to practice their craft free of compromise and unbounded by convention.  Their exclusive clientele includes noted filmmakers, intellectuals, and celebrities who have embraced the Enlightenment ideals of free expression and rationalism.  On event nights, avant-garde performance artists, celebrated literary figures, and ground-breaking musicians entertain their guests, such as Diamanda Galas (above video), whom musicologist Susan McClary writes that, “Galas heralds a new moment in the history of musical representation.” Focusing on themes of suffering, injustice, and despair, her works are characterised by visceral shrieks and wails reminiscent of glossolalia or “tongues.” She has collaborated with Led Zeppelin and her work has appeared in such mainstream films as Natural Born Killer and Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula. Galas, trained in the Wagner school of opera, calls her work, “…a very, very ancient form of Satanism”. The other staff of the Cannibal Club is Chef de Cuisine, Sophie Laffite (above), who regularly updates their menu with “new and daring dishes.” It’s said she gained notoriety in culinary circles when she prepared Ortolan, an endangered bird thought to represent the soul of France, for the last meal of President Francois Mitterrand in 1996, and one can’t help but wonder: what was next on the menu? Procurement; Raven Chan (above) is known as the “Service Manager and worked with Elspeth Blake and Vincent Sardi, Jr. in New York before travelling to L.A. with Blake to start Cannibal Club.  As service manager, she actually procures the bodies that will be eaten. Apart from Raven Chan doing her bit, according to Elspeth Blake, their avenues of procurement vary.  Most of the businesses and institutions that supply them prefer to keep those relationships discreet. On the individual level, bodies are often bequeathed to them. For some, this is a way to supplement life insurance and offset funeral expenses.  For others, such as Cannibal Club member Gwendoline Fenwick, who was served to her friends and relatives at the Club in January of 2008.  Blake said; “…being prepared as a meal, and thereby reborn into the bodies of the living, is an attractive alternative to the more than traditional practices; some folk bury their dead, others cremate them, - whereas in some pagan traditions they ate them in the belief they are reincarnated into the bodies of those who have eaten them and where they can continue to live and experience not just one life, but multiples. The more who eats you, the more your “own” life is expanded.”  Moloch- Bohemian Grove Bohemian Grove comes to mind, though, as Satan does not exist in Judaism, Moloch does.  Moloch was the pagan God of the Ammonites and Phoenicians to whom parents sacrificed their children; “extra relish on that, sir?”  Though I shan’t start raising the topic of Cabalist Talmudism and blood-curdling rituals. This is strictly looking at the fundamentals of fine dining!  One of the club's regular dishes is Placenta Lasagna, described as: “an otherwise traditional Lasagna with one layer of cheese substituted by minced placenta in heirloom tomato sauce, seasoned with garlic, onion, and oregano.”  Without a doubt, full of nutrition.Human Placenta Apart from Sweeney Todd coming to mind, one can only guess the contents of the country cottage sounding Mrs Lovett's Meat Pies; "A delectable pot pie in a genuine puff pastry crust with locally-grown vegetables - and tender strips of meat.” Blake says, "Human flesh, the Chefs gush, and blush, when prepared by them, tastes unbelievable. Of the meats you are likely to find in stores, pork is the closest match." "The club insists that they take care to ensure that all of their meat is produced legally and ethically, with some correctness in older, more primitive cultures, that cannibalism, as traditionally practised, usually showed respect to the deceased, who is desired to be reborn into the living, or offered as a worthy sacrifice to some deity." She further states that: “It is never our practice to debase or objectify human life. Arguments against cannibalism are typically grounded in ignorance, cultural prejudice, and nonsensical spiritual beliefs.” The Question of Real Procurement? My main question to the Cannibal Club is: Under what circumstances does a person qualify to be the type of meat you wish to serve; "…selected only from the young and healthy.” Cancer of the Human Liver After all, if a person is dying and riddled with disease or pumped with intoxicating drugs or radiation, then that’s the last thing anyone would wish to digest.  The same could be said about older meat, mutton dressed up as lamb.  Old muscles would perhaps take on the same toughness and darkness as chicken legs can do, and that's why they’re normally sold as ‘Boilers’.  So it makes me wonder, who are these people, such as Gwendoline Fenwick, making up the dishes?  I appreciate that you prefer to keep those relationships discreet, though I don’t expect names.

tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298Wed, 21 Feb 2024 00:24:03 +0000123 Wiki123 Wiki is a working summary of key wiki developments. A wiki is a type of web site designed for quick, collaborative, egalitarian composition. Any group member can make instant edits within a web page. A group can be as public or private as they choose. Today, wiki means team text composition. Tomorrow will this include audio, video and more? Will wikis, discussion groups, email, blogs and static web pages morph, integrate, or harmonize? Stay tuned.noreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)Blogger14125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-112174668977426897Tue, 19 Jul 2005 04:16:00 +00002006-01-02T19:27:40.430-05:00Last UpdateSite elements were last updated January 2, 2006 at 7:30 pm.

In contrast to private composition and the comment thread debates of blogging and discussion groups, wiki work is about performing in public to some degree. A wiki requires going beyond arguing about it, or thinking about or reflecting about it. Just do it. Make the change; edit the page; and then wait. The tension can be high in anticipation of approval or of further edits by others. Collaborative editing came of age with the birth of wiki servers. So, when does wiki use apply and not apply? Is it sufficient for all editing needs, or are there partner applications that are essential? Are there privacy and blocking features to control the throttle of editing accessibility? This blog summarizes key wiki developments.2005/06/wiki-thinking.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998684407567805Tue, 28 Jun 2005 19:00:00 +00002006-03-31T04:19:00.296-05:00Interesting Wiki ExamplesThe premier example of wiki power is <a href=";, a world class encyclopedia. In June 28 around 640,000 articles had been created over 4.5 years, as compared with some 70,000 to 100,000 articles in major commercial encyclopedias. By March 3, 2006, half year later, the 1 million article goal had been reached.<br /><br />Other interesting wikis are emerging in many areas, but many wikis are not yet well established, with significant portions of them incomplete, trivial or lacking in useful information. Here are some of the more substantial wikis:<br /><br />Education: <a href=" Literacy Education</a><br />Reading/Writing: <a href="; ; <a href=" </a>; <a href=" 242 Romantic Writing Project</a><br />Science: <a href=";; <a href=" />Mathematics: <a href=" />Multimedia: <a href=" /><br />Merely visiting and reading a Wiki misses what makes them unique. To understand their power you must edit them. Wiki's are not designed as a spectator sport. Don't be a couch potato; play the game. In Wikipedia.org, <a href="; target="_blank">visit the sandbox</a>, a special set of pages with tutorials that teach and encourage editing in Wikipedia. There are numerous similarities between wikis yet editing procedures may not be exactly the same as one moves from one wiki to the next. Look for the help features in each wiki to review basic edit procedures.<br /><br />Comments with rationale about the value of other wikis are encouraged.2005/06/interesting-wiki-examples.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998745232970401Tue, 28 Jun 2005 18:40:00 +00002005-06-30T12:39:05.653-04:00Free or Fee Wiki ToolsTo wiki requires wiki style software running on a local networked computer of your own or a hosted service. Long lists of wiki hosting services or wikiware applications themselves are readily available. Just as there are web server and blog servers providing free file storage and Internet sharing services, there are also wiki servers providing free hosting services. Users have taken to calling these wiki farms. Some wiki farms are free and some charge. There are many pages with lists of wiki farms: <a href="; target="_blank">Wikipedia/wiki farms</a>; <a href="; target="_blank">Google Directory</a>; <a href=" Directory</a>. However, searches for comparisons, reviews or evaluations of wiki farm services have yet to be successful.<br /><br />Others have focused on the software applications that run wiki services and have made comparison tables of wikiware options (<a href="; target="_blank">splitbrain</a>; <a href=";). Choices and features change frequently, so doing your own research is essential to having current information. Narrowing these choices from the over 100 available wiki applications can be helped by referring to <a href=" ten lists</a>. Even the top ten lists have trouble staying current. One of the most recent developments in the wiki universe is the concept of an enterprise wiki, a set of intranet documents that anyone in the organization can edit or annotate, such as provided by <a href=" </a>and <a href="; which function like wikis but add additional structure.<br /><br />Free services include free hosting services and free wiki server software, in contrast to paying a fee for more features or buying wiki server software.<br /><br />Still open to debate is the early leadership in wiki hosting. Just as there are variations in blog software depending on the hosting service, so is the case with wiki servers. The features you want will determine the choice of wiki farm. One of those critical features is RSS service for notification of wiki page changes. This includes: <a href="</a>; <a href=";; <a href=" Wiki</a>; and <a href=" Wiki</a>.<br /><br />For a quick experimentation with the wiki way, follow this link get your first wiki page posted at <a href=";.2005/06/free-or-fee-wiki-tools.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998783606713617Tue, 28 Jun 2005 18:20:00 +00002005-07-02T11:37:09.363-04:00Search Engines for Wiki ContentWiki content changes very rapidly, even more frequently than blog sites. However, RSS notification services of page changes only began to appear in 2004. Beyond the problem of getting wikis to make it standard to send notifications of page changes, another part of the problem is volume. The volume of change in high volume wikis has been too great for global search systems to stay current. However, constructing a localized search engine is within the ability of many programmers.<br /><br />Gobal<br /><br />General purpose wiki search engine <a href=" /><br />Search just wikipedia <a href=" /><br />Local<br /><br />Computer Programming <a href=" a Wiki Search Engine</a>2005/06/search-engines-for-wiki-content.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998804129548260Tue, 28 Jun 2005 18:00:00 +00002005-07-19T09:09:28.123-04:00Unique Values of the Wiki WayAs compared with a word processor, classic static web site, or blog design, what gives wiki design its value?<br /><br />By definition a wiki is visible across a network, whether a local network or the global Internet. It is by definition a tool designed for collaborative composition and instant change. This is a fundamental value. Its application needs to fit settings and situations in which collaboration and rapid change is relevant. Not all writing is or should be collaborative. Wiki composition also fosters dispute, negotiation, and space for multiple divergent points of view as legitimate perspectives whether right or wrong. Though rapid change is basic, wiki design includes several ways to protect different versions of a composition, a concept that will be addressed in greater detail elsewhere.<br /><br />Debate<br /><br />Different wikis can each develop their own dispute policies, but Wikipedia's <a href="; target="_blank">Dispute resolution</a> page serves as an outstanding and well-tested model. Disputes must be seen as having both productive and nonproductive potential. The heat of disputes can generate new ideas and improved understanding. Balancing the tough resolution that thoroughly defends a concept with the humility that one person cannot know everything is an important part of growing one's art at being human. Of some interest would be an analysis of what percentage of wiki projects move to some of dispute resolution. In the massive global Wikipedia project, the numbers of cases going to arbitration are extremely small. Reagle (2004) reported some 125 cases out of 390,000 over 3 years had gone to arbitration, a figure impacting around .0003 percent of all articles.<br /><br />Collaboration<br /><br />Collaborative needs are ubiquitous. These needs include learning environments with writing partners and teams. They also include enterprise or organizational needs. Most of us function in a social group, sharing information, rules and guidelines that evolve as the team or group deals with its environment. The more rapid the changing environment, the more the team's knowledge base changes. <a href="; target="_blank">Heterarchy</a> increasingly trumps hierarchy as complexity and rate of change increase.<br /><br />Wikis also provide a fast way to organize or link bits and pieces of information as it develops, a work-in-progress concept map, which has as much value for individuals as for groups and organizations. Just as static web pages can have links, so wiki pages can link to other pages. The immediate nature of wiki editing means the start up of a web page editor is not needed to make new links, nor does the file need to be saved and uploaded to a web site. This provides real advantages over the standard model for web site work.<br /><br />One of the basic ongoing problems in effectiveness of every project team or group at whatever scale is communication and maintaining a common set of shared facts and ideas. "The majority of today’s organizational knowledge still exists outside of organizational information repositories, and often only in people’s heads" (Wagner, 2005). Prior tools for communication have relied on email, but email glut and non-public storage have begun to turn email into an organizational bottleneck that blogs and wikis can help relieve.<br /><br />Blog design provides greatly simplified web page design but it is more a design to stimulate dialog and track debate, not forge group consensus. The blog owner just provides content and displays comments not new design to serve other purposes. The team is still dependent on the blog owner to update the information, which can slow further developments unnecessarily. Wiki's advantage is the power to immediately change the current posting.<br /><br />Wiki editing makes direct incremental improvement on information. Other collaborative designs do not. Blog sites comment reflect on the original posting but do not change it. Though there are millions of discussion groups on various topics with email threads playing a valuable role, the original thread to the email is also never edited. Further, later comments often focus on one element of the thread, not summarizing the collective thought to that point. A coherent, collated and updated summation of incoming information is just not part of either blog or discussion group design concepts. As a consequence, blog authors and discussion groups often build web sites to put their accumulated knowledge in FAQ files and other web page structures. Unless there is sufficient interest to pay someone to maintain these static files, this information often decays quickly losing accuracy and because of this inaccuracy often costs the organization or team big-time with misdirected activity and wasted motion.<br /><br />Wikis provide motivation simply building on the basic human need for accurate information. There is no better evidence of this than the <a href=" chart of wikipedia</a>, moving from 0 articles in January, 2001 to over 600,000 articles in four years, achieving an overall level of quality that has astonished many.2005/06/unique-values-of-wiki-way.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-112174908800745205Tue, 28 Jun 2005 17:50:00 +00002005-07-19T00:59:34.363-04:00Wiki Ideology<p>The unique features and values of wiki design are also part of a deeper intellectual tradition and debate. John M. Unsworth, Dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, saw wiki design as part of an ideology with a long tradition, a meme of Liberation Technology clashing with the meme of Command and Control (2004). This is also characterized in other ways including open source versus proprietary, and free information systems versus safe information systems. Unsworth wrote as spokesperson for the liberation technology point of view. His adversarial approach to the situation may also obscure other paths to solution.</p><p>A different perspective might seek harmony. The creative tension between heterarchy and hierarchy is as old as human history and as old as life itself. Command and control has been well established technically and culturally. One might see the apparent conflict as merely the growing pains of making room for technological designs that better harmonize cultural forces. Wiki designs are long overdue, and are likely to further modify best practices to be more open to creative developments and flexible management.</p>2005/06/wiki-ideology.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998757240786808Tue, 28 Jun 2005 17:40:00 +00002005-07-02T11:39:04.433-04:00Private or Protected Wiki CollaborationWhen the fundamental wiki concept of open editing over a network is first shared, a look of shock appears on the faces of some as they try to fathom how the the benefits of high currency are to be balanced with the need for accuracy in the information. However, to say that someone can edit a page at any time, does not mean that anyone can edit or that the edits will remain. There are many levels of information control including notification of interested readers, version control, and access control. Further, sometimes what passes for accuracy is a matter of opinion and this in turn requires negotiation control methods such as voting.<br /><br />Notification services are very important. A fundamental wiki concept is that developments which occur in the public eye have many eyes watching and therefore lead to better results. Democracy counts on the fourth estate (jounalism) to keep things out in the open and therefore honestly managed. Wiki sites can can count on the eyes of many interested readers. The reader/editor of a particular page can provide the wiki site with an email address and page identification. Almost anyone who edits a wiki page wants to know if someone else has changed it. Many request page change notification even if they never edit as a way to get the latest thinking on a topic. Those writers and readers most interested in the page become the wiki page watchdogs. Open access is, after all, an underlying principle of democracy.<br /><br />Even wikis that run wide open and allow public editing by anyone also use version control and access control. With version control, a dated list of every change is maintained. One can return to an earlier version with two clicks in some wikis.<br /><br />Access control can be implemented universally or page by page. The home page of a wiki might be locked but all other pages that descend from it may not be. A wiki site owner or multiple administrators make those decisions.<br /><br />Universal access control means that there are passwords, attribution and validation. A university or a corporation might create a wiki for employees, but its use would require a login username and password. Once logged in, any comments or edit work has the editor's name attached, providing attribution. Some systems allow email to be sent to a wiki page using the CC field and will appear as a comment on the bottom page. Later editors can synthesize the collecting comments and revise the page. Notification of changes to interested employees or team members provides validation of the content.2005/06/private-or-protected-wiki.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111998949064003863Tue, 28 Jun 2005 17:20:00 +00002005-07-06T23:07:34.220-04:00Multimedia Wikis- Collaborative Media EditorsThe concept of multimedia wikis pose special issues. One issue is confusion. There are wiki sites that provide access to multimedia compositions, such as the <a href=" Commons project</a> and also wiki sites that will discuss multimedia developments. A different meaning for multimedia wikis is intended here. What if one could edit an audio file or a picture the same way one can immediately edit text? Could collaborative composition be extended to other media?<br /><br />Editing text on the fly and reposting changes to a web site is well understood and easy; the code to carry out this text manipulation is standard across browsers. Wiki editing of text about audio, video, animation and other forms of media would also be easy to do. Editing media however depends on having the media tools themselves. Audio files pose fundamental challenges and video files require great computer processing power and signficant telecommunication bandwidth, while photography and other graphic manipulations within video could require even more bandwidth.<br /><br />Audio could allow the replacement of one voice with another, but not the editing of the same voice. Currently, it is not possible for anyone to edit someone else's talking without having their exact same voice. That is, it can't be done with voice, including a speech, a conversation, or an audio conference. One could re-write or edit the script of the speech but then the voices would have to perform the script again to re-record the unique nature of voices.<br /><br />Music can be different. Though in one sense music suffers from the same problem as the human voice; each musical voice or instrument is so unique. Music editing depends on access to access to a musical instrument's unique sound. MIDI music however was designed with a set of digital instrument sounds being universal on every computer. MIDI wikis would be technology possible, but have not yet come to my attention.<br /><br />Photo and video wikis share similar problems. Photo wikis and video wikis could mean downloading a multi-layered image or multi-element video segment, editing and reposting by the same file name, while keeping a reversion record of the previous creations. More advanced web editing could provide the editing within the web browser itself, but currently web editing are not designed to have the code to carry out such work for images and video. Such form of editing would be very appropriate research projects for the emerging Internet2 system where the high bandwidth rates and data storage are available at the needed scale.<br /><br />In summary, though new developments are possible, currently the wiki concept only applies to text editing.2005/06/multimedia-wikis-collaborative-media.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111999412520002075Tue, 28 Jun 2005 17:00:00 +00002005-06-28T17:28:45.203-04:00Wiki SyndicationMuch of the thinking about wiki work is done in the context of sections of text, whether definitions, sentences, paragraphs and large documents. Network RSS notification of change can easily be done with Wikis. Notification of change is a critical feature for wikis to not only function, but to address the issue of quality of product. As there is no centralized point of control, wiki quality control comes from its virtue of openness. Everyone and anyone can choose to see the changes. The more people watching, the greater the tendency towards public good. That concept in fact lies at the heart of democracy too.<br /><br /> Creative thinkers have also taken RSS syndication to another level, using RSS for project management, but wiki based project management has yet to appear. Very large projects can scale up to thousands of participants, each needing to know about goals, guidelines, schedules, meetings and the constant change in all of them that evolves with any project. Universal RSS standards for project management timelines using the Internet for communication will prove to be an excellent concept. <br /><br />Wiki project management that anyone could edit might be seen as a recipe for chaos. This thumbsucking comfort in the blanket of hierarchical control has dogged wiki inventors from the beginning. At every step critics have raised the issue of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) when someone has begun a wiki dictionary, encyclopedia, animal inventory or other concept. Given the current number of massive wiki projects of growing quality, a wait and see attitude would be appropriate for project management.<br /><br />What other variations might evolve with wiki syndication?2005/06/wiki-syndication.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111999418946043666Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:40:00 +00002006-01-02T21:21:51.753-05:00Wiki Limitations?A system designed to do all things well ends up doing little or nothing well. Wiki design seeks highly interactive and quick collaboration, but not every situation needs that. Wiki design allows totally open public editing, but not every situation needs that. This does not mean that wiki design has failed because all wiki features cannot be used for all situations. <a href="2005/06/private-or-protecting-collaboration-in.html">Wiki values</a> must be appropriately applied and this includes knowledge of the limitations. Both technical and social factors need consideration.<br /><br />Technical Factors<br /><br />The public nature of wiki editing means that page vandalism, and intentional distortion and lies and inadequately edited grammar are a risk that must be balanced against speedy change and the capacity for more public control that was discussed under <a href="2005/06/private-or-protected-wiki.html">wiki controls</a>.<br /><br />Wiki design is constantly improving, but currently many of the features of common word processors such as the creation of tables and the easy insertion of media is not possible with all versions. It must be understand that one of the motivations of wiki design is to not add complexity and so it is likely that even though such features can be technically added, they should not be and might not ever be. There is a trade-off between speed and complexity and users must decide which they need most in different situations.<br /><br />Social Factors<br /><br />Involving a group of people in a new way of thinking requires some group socialization. Wiki environments by default seem designed for those with little or no ego issues. The concept of egalitarianism needs discussion and acceptance by the players. This may not be the best tool to use to achieve peace and harmony with highly controversial topics. Further, it is a stretch for some to accept shared ownership, often without attribution. Those with status and reputation concerns may not play well in wiki environments. There are many forms of passive resistance and ways around a wiki team, either using email to keep information out of the loop or simply inattention to the wiki content. How much is at stake and how socialized the group has become with a collaborative project will have a great impact on wiki newbies. Beginners considering a wiki project should consider low impact projects to try out a wiki system and their skills before pressure intensive time or public exposure elements are increased. Regular use of notification by participants so that they know what has changed and when is critical to socializing all to wiki norms.<br /><br />Two cases of distorted wiki articles have been widely reported in the press, dealing with a particular kind of wiki, the publicly created and edited wiki. In the first, the Los Angeles Times experimented in 2005 with a wiki for debate on the controversial topic of Iraq and was overwhelming with porn messages and images and over the top criticism (Lee, 2005). In the second case of 2005, John Seigenthaler Sr., a journalist and former assistant to Attorney General Robert Kennedy, discovered a Wikipedia article in which a prankster falsely accused him in an article of plotting the Kennedy assassinations (Blakely, 2005).<br /><p>More scientific tests have shown that these headliner cases are the exception, not the rule, even with a publicly edited wiki. In a test by the Editor-at-large A. Jacobs of Esquire magazine in 2005, he put deliberate <a href=" in a wikipedia article</a>. Within three days there were 576 edits, fixing all but one of the errors. <a href=";, the scientific journal</a>, used independent reviewers in 2005 to compare 42 articles on the same topics in both Wikipedia and in the <em>Encyclopaedia Britannica</em>, the gold standard for encyclopedias. The Wikipedias encyclopedia was discovered in general to have just a slightly higher error rate than Britannica.<br /></p><span class="textcopy"></span>Beyond the issues of deliberate or accidental distortion, any degree of editing of one person's composition by another has a tendency to be seen by the first composer as ruthless, insensitive or ignorant of some detail. There is a reason that publishers hire editors. Wiki participants must accept the two phases of writing, focusing on content and focusing on editing. Participants need to discuss their capacity to accept developments with good humor and some appreciation that editing is a specialty too. Potential emotional concerns should always be addressed before work begins and this one is well known. Those who cannot accept the good faith effort of others should find other roles to play in the overall sequence of completing a project besides the wiki effort. There is always much to do.<br /><br />In short, the technical tools exist to exercise social control in effective ways in a highly mixed population. Whether these are applied or not depends on a number of social factors, but it has been successful done. However, wiki editing can be reserved by only those with the proper password, which allows groups of any size to take advantage of wiki design without worrying about outsiders manipulating the composition.2005/06/wiki-limitations.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111999447714054368Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:20:00 +00002005-07-18T23:43:36.586-04:00Educational Uses for WikiWhat best summarizes the educational uses of wikis? New uses continually emerge, but some uses already have received serious attention: collaborative composition of student essays and projects; assembly and organization of large bodies of information; development of organizational documents for policy and planning; and annotation of existing documents.<br /><br />There are many places that educators can take advantage of the unique values of wikis. The language arts area has long experimented with collaborative composition. By running their own servers with password protection, schools can protect their students from the public at large. At the same time, the potential for collaborative parent-child and school personnel projects is significant and wikis would be a very relevant tool to use. Educators in every content area from time to time require students to carry out team projects which involve writing which would further build on the wiki concept. On a global scale, adults have used this concept to create a number of encyclopedic and dictionary projects which have made impressive progress (<a href="2005/06/interesting-wiki-examples.html" target="_blank">see wiki examples</a>). Dennis et al (2004) used the wiki concept to help manage the team teaching of a divergent course design that mixed diverse faculty and fields of study: history, journalism, computer science, and educational technology.<br /><br />Many educators are also deeply involved in policy development and curriculum development, which require the collaboration of many participants. One example is professional adult literacy group whose wiki currently is collating information on <a href=" of distance education delivery </a>that are currently in use. Another group, <a href=" </a>created an extensive outline for participants to expand but open to ideas from anyone onthe net. Wikis will certainly be explored for such uses.<br /><br />The wiki concept is also useful for pentrating a poem, passage of literature, policy paper or technical writing. Any word or phrase can quickly be turned into a link to a new web page which provides more in-depth analysis. Each of those pages can contain additional or follow-up links to expansions of thinking by other authors, a sort of chain of footnotes and annotation. For example, Phillipson's teaching of poetry required students to respond to or provide passages of text and then develop their own fine grained interpretation through linking selected words and phrases (Brock, 2005).<br /><br />Examples of many uses may never be public and therefore not indexed by search engines such as Google. News of any wiki projects is sought and will be used to update this posting.2005/06/educational-uses-for-wiki.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-111999451838646257Tue, 28 Jun 2005 16:00:00 +00002005-06-30T16:38:25.970-04:00Wiki FuturesWhat will the next levels of Wiki development look like? One would expect that further evolution on networked software will be forthcoming. Sequencing and integrating discussion groups, blogs, wikis and static web pages would hold the most value today and be necessary to capture the unique role of each. But the times, they may be changing. In time, will static web pages be seen as the tip of the information iceberg, giving lift and visibility from these other underlying web elements, or will the growing pace of change and the power of egalitarian teamwork move wiki design to the visible tip of the iceberg? Will some new design synthesize the current pieces?<br /><br />Fraser's (2005) perspective on the <a href=" tools for a new Internet</a> imply that the answers will not be long in coming.2005/06/wiki-futures.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bob Houghton)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14031298.post-112000591910538951Tue, 28 Jun 2005 15:40:00 +00002006-01-02T21:22:53.956-05:00Wiki BibliographyBlakely, Rhys ( December 30, 2005). <span style="font-weight: bold;">Identity question for world's encyclopaedia</span>.

El fallo podría haber permitido a un atacante hacerse pasar por administrador y ejecutar consultas SQL sin autorización. Según las estimaciones de 'Faav', el entorno afectado almacenaba unos 17,3 billones de filas distribuidas en 17 bases de datos analíticas conectadas entre sí. Explicó que durante el último año ha estado "hackeando a Microsoft intermitentemente en sus estudios", además de buscar vulnerabilidades en productos de Amazon, Google, Adobe y otras compañías. Para automatizar parte de este trabajo, creó Antares, un bot de inteligencia artificial capaz de realizar tareas de análisis y seguridad. El proceso comenzó cuando Antares detectó una página web de Titan que requería una conexión segura (VPN) para entrar. Al investigar más a fondo, Antares encontró una página secundaria en la nube de Microsoft (Azure) y un archivo que funcionaba como un "mapa de carreteras" (Swagger) que mostraba cuatro caminos para entrar al sistema. Tres de estos caminos exigían una contraseña, pero uno de ellos, llamado '/v2/Query', estaba completamente desprotegido y permitía hacer preguntas directas a la base de datos. Para saber qué información buscar, Faav usó un archivo histórico de Internet (Wayback Machine) y descubrió un documento antiguo que revelaba exactamente cómo estaba organizada la base de datos por dentro.

Según la investigación, publicada en la revista JGR Solid Earth, estas pequeñas tensiones periódicas podrían activar movimientos sísmicos mediante un mecanismo parecido a la resonancia, es decir, cuando una fuerza débil actúa con el ritmo preciso sobre un sistema vulnerable. El trabajo parte de una observación conocida desde hace tiempo: además de provocar mareas en los océanos, el Sol y la Luna también generan pequeñas deformaciones en la corteza terrestre. Estas fuerzas son muy débiles, pero en algunos lugares ya se había visto que coincidían con episodios de "terremotos lentos", movimientos telúricos que liberan energía de manera gradual y que no se perciben como un sismo convencional. Para explorar cómo podría producirse este efecto, los científicos recurrieron a simulaciones sobre el deslizamiento y la fricción en fallas tectónicas, modelando cómo reaccionaría un segmento de falla sometido a pequeñas perturbaciones repetidas.

La joven de 23 años resultó ser hija de José Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias 'Fito', líder de la organización criminal ecuatoriana Los Choneros. Macías fue detenida junto con su madre, Inda Mariela Peñarrieta Tuárez, esposa de 'Fito', durante un operativo desarrollado por autoridades colombianas con cooperación de organismos de Ecuador y EU. Ambas eran requeridas por la Justicia ecuatoriana por presunto lavado de activos y tenían notificaciones rojas de Interpol. Según informó El Tiempo, madre e hija llevaban cerca de cuatro meses viviendo en una finca de Sabana de Torres y anteriormente habían pasado por las ciudades de Bucaramanga y Medellín.

En junio, las autoridades informaron que un menor había fallecido mediante este procedimiento a finales del año anterior. En aquel momento, se limitaron a señalar que se trataba del primer caso de muerte asistida aplicado a un menor de 12 años, sin ofrecer más detalles. De acuerdo con el informe, el niño nació de forma prematura a las 26 semanas de gestación, lo que derivó en complicaciones "muy graves", entre ellas múltiples infecciones que evolucionaron hacia una sepsis (una respuesta extrema del organismo frente a una infección, capaz de dañar tejidos y órganos). A los cuatro meses y medio fue diagnosticado con un "daño cerebral muy extenso" y, a los ocho meses, con síndrome de espasmos epilépticos infantiles, una forma grave de epilepsia. "En los meses previos al fallecimiento del niño, las convulsiones aumentaron significativamente cuando comía", señala el documento publicado por el Comité de Evaluación para la Interrupción Tardía del Embarazo y la Interrupción de la Vida en Recién Nacidos y Niños de uno a 12 años.

El subsecretario de Derechos Humanos, Arturo Medina, y el fiscal especial Mauricio Pazarán explicaron que la indagatoria reanalizó documentos y registros telefónicos acumulados durante 12 años mediante nuevas tecnologías. El reanálisis telefónico de las comunicaciones ocurridas en septiembre de 2014 identificó a 17 nuevos objetivos que conectan a integrantes del grupo delictivo Guerreros Unidos con policías locales y empresarios funerarios. Las autoridades señalaron que el propietario de la Funeraria El Ángel utilizó el teléfono celular del estudiante Julio César Mondragón Fontes pocos días después de su desaparición. Los cateos realizados en la funeraria y en el Servicio Médico Forense de Iguala revelaron la existencia de un horno crematorio clandestino, restos óseos en un colchón y certificados de defunción firmados en blanco.

La investigación realizada por NYT abarca desde las minas del sur de Venezuela hasta la Casa Blanca y las casas comerciales de Europa y las fuentes anónimas consultadas afirman, haciendo referencia a la captura del expresidente venezolano por parte de Washington en enero, que Trump conectó a Estados Unidos con una industria que "todavía está plagada por la misma criminalidad que él decía estar combatiendo al arrestar a (Nicolás) Maduro". "Financieros estadounidenses están invirtiendo en una mina vinculada a miembros del crimen organizado como parte de un acuerdo negociado por la administración Trump", revela el amplio reportaje. "Aviones transportaron oro fuera de Venezuela incluso antes de que las empresas visitaran las minas y parte de ese oro está vinculado a mineros que pagan sobornos a las pandillas", afirma el rotativo estadounidense. Sin embargo, y pese a que hay partidas de oro venezolano que ya ha llegado a Estados Unidos, los envíos, valorados en cientos de millones de dólares, permanecen intactos en almacenes, dice NYT.

Citlali Hernández Mora, presidenta de la Comisión Nacional de Elecciones, precisó que San Luis Potosí constituyó la única entidad de la jornada donde Morena no pactó coalición con el Partido del Trabajo ni con el Partido Verde Ecologista de México. La dirigente explicó que el movimiento buscará organizar y fortalecer la fuerza propia en el territorio para alcanzar el triunfo electoral. Este lunes se definirán los abanderados en Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Sonora y Tlaxcala. Como es habitual en este proceso de Morena no se presentaron resultados de encuestas, números o cualquier elemento para sostener el nombramiento de Cervantes Rojas. La Comisión Nacional de Elecciones procesó el nombramiento mediante un acuerdo de consenso alcanzado entre los aspirantes y la militancia potosina, aunque el diario Reforma informó que el elegido no se inscribió en el proceso interno. Ariadna Montiel Reyes, presidenta del Comité Ejecutivo Nacional, recordó que el consenso representa la primera opción estatutaria del partido para la toma de definiciones.
