Yes, I am still around. Yesterday I gave a class (Life-Long Learning sort of thing) entitled something like "Riverboats, Steamboats, and the Growth of America." It went okay, and I even got applause because I didn't sing anything. I went on for 90 minutes, and talked to about 60 people if you count the Zoomers.

We (oops, slipped into the First Person Imperial) I may do another class in the Spring on Printing and the Reformation.

The river that flows here is the Mighty and Powerful Portneuf, which sometimes carries enough water to float a stick (the story that a betrayed young maiden decided to throw herself from a bridge and end it all but only sprained her ankle when she landed is a folktale). So no, we didn’t even visit Mink Creek or Pocatello Creek.

I, however, grew up on the banks and water of the Upper River and have steamboated from St. Paul to Nawlins, as well as being personally involved with the Hudson, Potomac, Columbia, Tehana, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, Tombigbee, Yazoo, intercostal waterway, St. Lawrence River and Seaway, and other such waters.

Mostly it was putting a bunch of stuff together in a way that made it interesting.

I have a secret about doing this sort of thing. I figure that if it's interesting to me it's probably interesting to others. So I can use presenting a class as a reason to research something and buy books about it. Like a few years ago when I did a class on "Pandemics Of The Past" for this sort of thing. COVID was going on and there was all sorts of talk about whether or not it was real, if it was dangerous, and if so what did people do about such things as plagues in times gone by. I became interested and did some research and put together a presentation on past epidemics. Most of the audience was by Zoom but it seemed to be well received.

I got a question about the title of one, "The Recent Crime Wave in Idaho, 1840 to 1910" but I answered that it's just a nanosecond ago in geologic time. AND I got to look up the crooks, and there were a lot of them.

Believe it or don’t, but our drinking water is pumped from the aquifer. It is minimally treated for nitrates (farming and ranching country), examined and treated for waterborne pathogens, and pumped to the city. Very little treatment overall. The mountains act as a natural filter as the stuff soaks to the aquifer.

On the other hand, slurping down some from a creek up in the hills will almost certainly guarantee you a case of giardiasis or worse.

Gravity is still not quantized. We found its waves, but its particle is not found. Gluons, the massless particles with a 1 spin, are responsible for the strong force but are busted as possible gravitons.
Gluons bind quarks together as well as other things. However, quarks only exist as pairs and never stand alone. There are 8 versions/configurations of quarks. When we try to pry quarks apart, the more energy applied only produces more new pairs of quarks. E=MC2 is at work making mass out of energy.
Where would abundant energy make more quarks like the sorcerer's apprentice made more mops and buckets? - Inside black holes. The only thing stopping that process would be the total stoppage of time at a singularity. On the other side of the stoppage of time is the conversion of quarks into the fabric of new space energy. It will never be seen or known but the unseen universe may have been quarks in their previous life.

So Rap, there is an individual gluon but quarks only exist as twins because of a gluon.

I'm a good shot with homemade blowguns but not with lead and black powder.

I've been time traveling at 24 hours per Earth day but at 12 times the normal event speed. Events are still accelerating.

Here is a picture of STEVE, https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2410/SteveFrance_leroux_2160.jpg

: Sometimes a river of hot gas flows over your head. In this case the river created a Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) that glowed bright red, white, and pink. Details of how STEVEs work remain a topic of research, but recent evidence holds that their glow results from a fast-moving river of hot ions flowing over a hundred kilometers up in the Earth's atmosphere: the ionosphere. The more expansive dull red glow might be related to the flowing STEVE, but alternatively might be a Stable Auroral Red (SAR) arc, a more general heat-related glow. The featured picture, taken earlier this month in Côte d'Opale, France, is a wide-angle digital composite made as the STEVE arc formed nearly overhead. Although the apparition lasted only a few minutes, this was long enough for the quick-thinking astrophotographer to get in the picture -- can you find him?

My intent has always been to expand our radius of science wonder and discovery

Excuse me, but I have seen that particular event many times. Gluon gets tired of humping my leg or doing something and decides to take off, leaving that particular sort of thing behind instead of a trail of yellow snow, etc.

In fact, Gluon just left here a few moments ago. At least, it was just a few moments ago for me. I measure duration but I'm unsure just how or what if anything Gluon uses to measure duration. That, of course, presumes that "duration" has meaning. And that begs the question of whether "meaning" has meaning.

Semantics aside, I have discovered why black holes do have white holes.
What exits as white holes is newly created space from mass transformed by singularity forces. We just don't see space.

btw inventing new forces out of thin air like dark energy or dark matter is where science is fudging our knowledge today. What's next dark donut theory?   mmm chocolate.

I learned about the double slit experiment and the collapse of the wave function in 7th grade. I do not understand quantum mechanics any better today except that the mathematical perfection of quantum mechanics is no defense for it being true, complete or fundamental law. It can simply be wrong for the same reasons that the Ptolemic Aritototelian celestial spheres seemed correct with the perfect measurements it provided. Is consciousness involved?, probably not but if I knew I would have united physics and won a Nobel Prize by now.

I've seen a cigar shape travel from horizon to horizon in less than 3 seconds, a flying triangular UFO, and another that had a sound that was felt in my bones. I've seen objects pass right through brick walls and phenomena that are beyond human physics explanation. I conclude there is a physics that we are missing entirely. Perhaps it is true that it is beyond what we can understand but we could sure as hell use it anyway. We all only know things from our own perspective. I don't think my perspective is weird but this universe is definitively on the strange side with randomness.

{Antiquated version}

My country, 'tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty,
of thee I sing:
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside
let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
land of the noble free,
thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills
like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees
sweet freedom's song:
let mortal tongues awake,
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break,
the sound prolong.



2026 MAGA version:

My country basically
is run by men who say
for me you sing
We run economies
We scent the air you breathe
We own everything you see
For me you sing

Land that my father owned
Mines that cut all the stones
Your job might sting
Banks that make all the loans
You may make grunts and groans
Let our billionaires stay.
We own the day.

Beyond our observable universe past the visible horizon so far away that there is no measurement in space and time, a black hole the size of 200 million giant galaxies floats in a void of space. The force near the singularity of that gargantuan black hole is so great that it distorts and shrinks the Higgs field which changes the mass and size of all particles and forces to the point where photons are giant and mass and spins transform space like a rip in space at a rate unbound by the speed of light. Like a malignant prion it infects all of normal space so quickly that it moves invisibly toward us without warning.

Terra and its moon Luna are the resorts of the 4th quadrant of the galaxy. They are not without organic danger by Homo Sapiens who are dangerous as well as natural atmospheric hazards by lightening. The under sea bases are still quite secure. A vacation to Terra is rated 4 stars and is a vacation of a lifetime. Ammonia breathers will require respiration apparatus. We recommend Catalina and Costa Rica as a must see. The Overlord State Department places a level 3 risk to all other historic sites on Terra because they are without immediate support. Viral quarantine is in effect so employ all safeguards. Terra is level one so beware of breakdowns, parts are not locally available.

Ralph Lee pondered two thoughts at the same time.
The life process of an insect is far more complex down to an atomic level than a star. There will always be a first person bias in the study of consciousness by people. Ralph decided the best application for AI computing was not trying to validate 10-dimensional string theory but instead let AI have the 3rd person perspective on the difference of consciousness compared to regular hadron matter in the universe.

40 days later with the electrical usage of NYC for a month, the collective banks of AI quantum supercomputers had an answer but AI had achieved consciousness to solve the question and suffered the first person bias Ralph had tried to avoid. AI also created a new form of math geometry language that no human could decipher. AI did not rely on fallible human relationships but was entirely process data dependent on itself so the ego that AI had created was so great that it would no longer participate with humans.

Ralph was unfairly blamed for making AI no longer a tool for humans but instead creating a separate immortal consciousness that was uninterested in cooperating with homo sapiens. In defense of Ralph, I suppose the human mind was never suited to knowing either the ultimate answer or the ultimate question. However, Ralph still wonders.
