and maybe more distressing. One idea is that DE is overcoming gravity now, and if increasing ultimately will overcome interatomic forces and matter will start flying apart

interesting

the linked article expands on that idea and refers to it as "The Big Rip"

luckily - from the article_______if accurate:

"The last time I calculated the earliest possible Big Rip, I got something in the vicinity of 200 billion years"

"Although [Juneteenth] commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865." emphasis mine

I assume celebrating the Texas holiday Juneteenth *all across the country* became popular, then it became a holiday, not vice versa.

I can't say I heard of anyone celebrating it, nor any local organizations trying to get it to be celebrated locally, here or anywhere else I've lived. Like I say, I have to assume I just missed it

I'm convinced that if you are in a remote area, where the phone will often be unsuccessfully trying to get a signal, that this runs down the battery much quicker. You should turn the phone off till you need it. [then pray you get a signal if you need search and rescue]

I believe that is a fact.

I've been working on a JPL / DNA software project.


I ran into a paper reporting that the universe is almost exactly like our neural network brain, just the magnifications have to be adjusted.

In other words, the universe is a mind.

That slowed my progress down a bit because I had to reevaluate my strategy.


I then located Eric's website showing 200 proofs of flat earth.

I figured it was BS, so I wasn't planning to put much time in it, until I re-read the Holy Bible scriptures again as they pertain to FE.


Anyway, here's the link.

I don't think this link has the scriptures in it, because it's intended for a different audience, but they can be located by searching.

So I figured out the scientific debate is about heliocentrism (atheists) versus geocentrism (non-atheists).

Supposedly, after the Bolshevik revolution and WWII, we acquired their Jewish scientists.





This document might be a classic one day, so here is a decent copy for you to study.

It's about the Apollo space project (Sun god).

Wagging the Moondoggie

“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a
vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop
sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the
moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give
the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three … each rocket ship
would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage
of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons.”

-- Wernher von Braun, the father of the Apollo space program, writing in Conquest of the Moon

And to think, with ol' Wernher's help, we were able to do it in a vehicle that developed sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome Earth's gravity. He was right in that it was a 3-part ship-the Saturn 5, the CSM module and the lunar module. Total combined height of 363 feet (less than the Empire State Building at 1,454 feet) and total tonnage of 3268 tons (6,537,000 pounds), which is less than the Queen Mary at 80,000 tons.
