Dead Zones and Dark Energies
June 23rd 2009 17:11
Scientists have found the least populated place on the face of the earth. As you might imagine, it's under water. A lot of water. A place miles beneath the waves where even the decayed flesh of a rotting whale carcass rarely puts in an appearance. A place where the only thing to eat is the errant bubble of hydrogen gas expelled by the decaying bones of the very earth.
Dead Zone
While surfing the TV channels before bed last night I came across the biggest fudge factor in the history of mankind.
Mind you, we have had some pretty big fudge factors of late. Barrack Hussein Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are printing trillions of dollars and using it to monetize the national debt and the fudge factor there is the notion that this will not turn the dollar in to toilet paper. Such behavior trashed the currency in Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic, but it won't hurt us. That is world class bull hockey.
But a bigger fudge factor has been found. Astrophysicists have noticed that their equations don't balance. Hey, I'm easy. When they said, our equations don't balance so 20% of the universe or thereabouts is made of "dark matter," I said cool. A fudge factor they've never seen--in fact they can't see it. 'Cause it's well, dark.
But now the space cadets have gone too far. Dark matter isn't enough. Their equations are really, really, really bad! Now they need 75% of the universe to be composed of dark energy. Something even more elusive and harder to see in order the keep the pinwheeled galaxies from spinning themselves apart.
Bull hockey! Bull hockey I say. Hey if we can just make something up to balance out our equations, why didn't let us do that in school. What is the value of X, dark matter, dark energy. Whatever, don't bother me.
First they come up with string theory and say it's largely untestable. Then dark matter and now dark energy. And by the way, there are an infinite number of universes but you can't see them because you can't see out of our own universe. Also there are 11 dimensions, but you have a damned hard time seeing even 4 dimensions.
I say we are in desperate need of a break through of some kind. It appears that our present tools and and present world view have led us into a cul de sac.
Maybe instead of creating a black hole that destroys the world, the Large Hadron Collider will provide us with some clues as to what is really going on here. We need some new bread crumbs to lead us out of this maze. It appears that something ate that last batch we put down and now we can't find our way out.
