John W. Moffat - God Wrote Back!?

Experimentalists dream of some spectacular discovery such as proof of the existence of black holes to justify the more than eight billion dollars it has cost to build the LHC.
John W. Moffat, Reinventing Gravity, p. 88

Life is sometimes so ironic that it is painful. When I first heard on the BBC News that the OPERA experiment may have detected muon nuetrinos traveling faster than the speed of light, guess which book I had in my lap? John W. Moffats Reinventing Gravity!! You just can't make this stuff up. This is the second time I believe that this has happened. Each time it was fudged over in my humble opinion! I call the LHC, the Hardon Collider! Save for the two accidental measurements at over the speed of light, and that very scary accidental creation of microscopic blackholes that just scared the shit out of everybody, this thing is really built for and exists not to prove anything but it is rather a monument to the imperialism of Big Physics.

Lets get back to the basics?

Cosmology has been dead to me since the death of Fred Hoyle. And just who happened to be John W. Moffats doctoral advisor? Yep, Fred Hoyle! Who is going to proved out to have the greatest sense of smell since Einstein? Fred Hoyle and John W. Moffat!! It seems in retrospect that the absolute power hard-on of building atomic weapons corrupted the whole science. And it is still continuing to suffer from it... It appears to me that all the right answers have been around and ignored for years! The solutions are not what is being sought but the next cycle of budgeting! Find something that sounds sexy, that can neither be proved or disproved and you are on your way! Gravity wave detectors anyone??

Inflation itself proceeds at a speed faster than the measured speed of light.

So says John W. Moffat on page 102 of Reinventing Gravity. For some reason this makes perfect sense to me! The reason I say this is I have just recently read Kip S. Thornes book "Black Holes & Time Warps". Now the one part of the book that really stayed with me is the part where he went and found all the early papers by Einstein and had them translated into English and then read them himself. While at the the Chapters flag store in Ottawa recently I saw a book of the complete early papers by Einstein in English! And the jacket stated that this was the first time that this had been undertaken! Well! I dipped in and I could not believe that the whole world was turned over by such elegant and straight forward papers. You could drop a lot of them on high school students and they would get it, or at least most of it! Another guy that was like this was Georg Cantor.

So with regards to John W. Moffats VSL (Variable Speed of Light) theory let us go back to the basics? Energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. Let us solve for the speed of light. The speed of light will be equal to the square root of the energy divided by the mass. Let us now set the Universe to t = 0. We essentially have at this point of time infinite energy with an infinitesimal amount of mass... So what is going to be the speed of light at t = 0 + one infinitesimal increment? (Damn fast!!)  The speed of light from t = 0 at the beginning of the universe simply a logarithmic function!! An ultimate display of Benfords Law! As we step out from t = 0 at the "beginning" of the universe and more mass "materializes" the speed of light will rapidly come to a stable value. Over the life of the universe as energy depletes and mass accretes, the speed of light will continue to slow down ever so slowly...The only question left to ask now is which Universe Cycle are we presently in?

A little background, sniff, sniff... Do you smell a Nobel??

Life, the Universe and everything...

Preamble:
It hit me this afternoon as I was driving from Ottawa to a favorite bookshop in Carleton Place, right across from the Tim Hortons..As I was cruising down Highway 7 in my honking big Chrysler automobile enjoying the wicked nice day, it hit me! A philosophy of  Life, the Universe and everything.. Maybe this is my one Good Idea! We are here to simply transmit and absorb entropy! Our existence is a scalable copy of the Universe in the small. All matter wants to evolve to something more complex..and if that is not possible all matter then prefers to just fart around! Think of the life and death of stars. They are born, and they burn, the hydrogen turns to helium and so on up the periodic table, until it becomes a red giant and then it collapses into itself and explodes into a super nova. The liberated gas plasma and vapors and all the created elements just fart around waiting for the next gravity source that will allow all the parts to form a new star and eventually change into something more complex. Now think of people forming into groups and then nations..In there efforts to create there world they must transmit entropy., but as they are doing so they absorb entropy. well in plain English they grow old and weary..We are nothing really but Entropy-Bots! Now of course some nations will be better at transmitting entropy then other nations. These nations will become Empires.. but alas only for a little while.. So what ya think? It needs a little spit and entropy but I smell a Noble...

Economy:
The earth has stopped moving in Ottawa the day after the municipal elections, there are now just a few shocked tremors. Eleven of, what is it, twenty seven seats at the table are new faces! This is history! This has never happened before, seriously. I put this done to my earlier post on how to pick a candidate; see how well it works? And they are a much better looking lot then the bums on the run! The surviving right wingers such as Jan Hardon are just soiling there panty's! With Larry as Mayor they looked like absolute intellectual giants. Now it is back to the laundry. They are going to be seen as the morons they really are.. Bummer...We even had a Mr. Dibbs goes to town!! Mathieu Fleury was working for the City of Ottawa in the Parks Department all 25 years old of him! He runs in Beacon Hill (broken hill...) and blows an incumbent out that served what, three terms! What a story! The pundits of the vulgar capitalist media (CTV) were going on about all in all the counsel is a little more to the right!  EXCUSE ME! David Chernesenko won! formerly of the Green Party! With just him there the whole counsel could enter chambers dim the lights and raise Karl Marx and Trotsky from the dead! This group will provide blogging material for all time. Hold on to your seats folks.

Media:
God I miss Yurgen Goth so much. If you want to have your car radio on while driving home and not want to have one neuron of  your brain fire just listen to Bitch Stirfry on the CBC radio....Buck Fifty Nine? He ain't worth a nickel... The only reason he got this job is not for how he makes you and I feel, but rather how he makes a certain program executive feel.... (Squeel.... you ready to some praying boy?)
Then when you get home you can watch what used to be the award winning program Politics on CBC Newsworld. God I miss John Neumann. Now I got to suffer I-even Soldaman. A Tory love in. The little thumpers have the answers, but they don't understand the questions! But it's alright. What did Steve Harpers right bower at the University of Calgary say in one of his books? NO ONE RUNS CANADA!! This show is now the proof of that!!
