Awhile back I read about how scientists had created the Large Hadron Collider in hopes of creating the "God Particle". It is a particle that sort of proves nothing real exists. By that it mean, it explains why things that do not have mass, have mass. A famous scientist who wrote a book on the Higgs Boson or God Particle, has a line in his book, "Nothing exists except atoms and space, everything else is opinion". That is exactly what a scientist would say. I have said this before, to scientists we are the illusion.
Sentience does not make sense in a material world, to material world lovers and spiritual life haters. Self awareness eludes the physical world. They attempt to prove that the physical can exist and conceptually, it cannot. A "real" world is not a possibility for sentient beings. It is a joke, physical reality is the only illusion.
The Higgs Boson or God particle proves exists if they find it or not. The search for it logically proves nothing exists except spiritually, awareness wise. The scientists have said that they have already proved that mass should not exist. If mass should not exist than the physical world cannot exist except as a image in our mind. If they do create the particle, same problem. The particle proves that nothing physical can exist.
I apologize to the readers especially if they are not familiar with quantum physics. I am trying really hard to explain it as simply and directly as possible. The Big Bang only makes sense if you can explain how mass, matter came from nothing. The God Particle is the attempt at that explanation. That is why they call it the God Particle, it is the God that proves that a physical world can exist. If found it will only prove that the physical world cannot exist. It is a joke.
All of physics, as we know it, changes if the particle is found. It proves that reality cannot be physical. When they created the Large Hadron Collider to find the particle, everything that could go wrong did. Scientists working at the lab said it was as if God was coming from the future to stop us from finishing the collider.
The scientists have come to an end to the theories they have put forth and have no others. Quantum physics was a necessary farce. The problem that was encountered by scientists is that all of the most fundamental rules fail on a subatomic level. Quantum physics attempts to explain the reason for this. The God Particle is the end of the explanation.
Consider that the manner in which physical elements act on a subatomic level is different then the manner they interact on an atomic level and higher. As a consequence, we had to create a whole new field of science. Quantum physics. Now they have justify their existence and the God particle is the only way; however, once proven it violates all of regular physics no matter the answer.
The problem has always been gravity. It cannot be as weak as it is and have object react to it the way that they do. This has been known for a very long time. There is not enough mass, gravity, to justify planets, people or atoms from reacting to each other in the manner they do. Either everything should have stayed together (no big bang) or everything should be flying apart at a faster speed based on the amount of gravity exerted.
The scientist who wrote the book about it said they had wanted to call it that goddamn particle. There is a reason. Now let us consider the consequences. LOL.
What if tomorrow the world wakes up to the headline that science has proven that nothing physical can exist, heck it proved that bees could not fly. Given it's track record, science will probably prove that pigs could if they really want to. Descartes proved science silly, he said, "I think therefore I am". Logic is greater than all science. I am. The scientist says only matter is real. Having said that, no matter what anyone "proves" they cannot prove that I do not exist. Apparently the scientists can prove that reality does not. They will still be wrong.
Matter cannot be explained by science and the God Particle necessity to prove their scientific findings proves that. It proves that reality cannot be explained except on philosophical grounds. If they cannot explain why their rules contradict each other than they are left with the answer, "Because God made it that way". I don't think they like that answer, although, more quantum physicists are spiritual than non-quantum physicists. The physicists need to have a God Particle proves that we are spiritual beings having a perceived physical experience.
Now what happens when people discover they are spiritual beings and that this universe, this reality is not possible? How do we begin seeing ourselves? There will be a couple of main camps. One will say that we are all one, the same, split personalities. The other will say we are multiple, unique beings sharing an experience; but, still distinct.
Science has proudly proven that we cannot trust our sight, hearing, taste, smell or touch. They constantly tell us how these senses can be fooled and then attempt to prove that by using these senses they can prove such things. On a subatomic level, everything is as God wants it to act, it follows his rules, not science and can be explained no other way.

Lady Gaga
I bet you never thought I would have a post on Lady Gaga. It isn't really about her as you will see. Before I get to the point, I do need to write some preface. I have heard Lady Gaga, I have seen her pictures and even heard her do an interview. She seems like a fairly nice girl with a perspective I am not entirely in agreement with. She is 24, a child.
Lady Gaga is the biggest new celebrity, she wears outlandish costumes and writes her own music. I have to give her credit for writing her own music, it is dance music (which I do not particularly care for) and is very popular. She studied music and is very much into fashion and art. Artist should be. Someone said she is a cross between performance art and pop music. I think I can agree with that.
If I have an issue with Lady Gaga, it is with her message. I understand she is personally against violence; but, her message is of the hopelessness of finding love. This is not a message I agree with or condone. Still, I would fight for her right to write her songs and have people decide for themselves.
The short of it is, I know who she is, believe she has a kind heart and believe her message is bad. I regularly talk to people in their 20s and I am sure she would be quite a lot of fun to talk to. We would probably discuss her music and its message rather than her clothes. Heck, if I ever did meet her I would want her to be dressed in her costume. I am sure it would be fun and amusing for both of us.
We have now got the general garbage out of the way. Recently, Lady Gaga was given a lot of grief over her attending a baseball game in New York. Some claimed they were shocked and offended by her outrageous behaviour. This is utter nonsense. The press complained that she showed up at the game in a revealing outfit. This is a sport that promotes men being half naked and painting themselves with their teams colors while getting drunk and into fights. Lets not forget that they invited Lady Gaga and then expected her not to wear something to be noticed. Am I to believe that the owner of the Mets is retarded and didn't know who she was?
It is also claimed that Lady Gaga flipped off some reporters, yeah, like that has never happened before and this is worthy of international news? A 24 year old at a baseball game was scantily clad and flipped off some paparazzi. Hang her, make it international news, draw and quarter her. Give me a frickin break. Why and how is this news?
The truth of the matter is that the Mets wanted the publicity and so did Lady Gaga. She is big news and everything she does gets reported so the Mets invited her and hoped to get a news story out of it. I guarantee that they did not invite her so that she could show up in a summer dress and quietly come and go. They wanted the publicity. When the San Diego Padres invited Roseanne Barr to sing the National Anthem, do you really believe they thought she could sing? Plenty of singers out there and Roseanne was not know for singing, she was a comedian.
Artificial dramas are created for publicity, that is all this is. The dramas are used to get people to take positions on silly things. Publicity is a drug and all the junkies come out to get their fix. Jerry Seinfeld decided to publicly talk about how Lady Gaga had talent but not class. If he wants publicity all he has to do is put on a show. How lame. Hey, Jerry, why don't you talk about how you were involved with a child and things that matter like the economy or the wars. Oh or talk about how your friend, Larry David, pissed on a cross on television, I guess you don't find that offensive.
The media only makes money when people are outraged or we are at war. Check out the days on when newspapers and television watching were at their highest. Conflict, controversy and bs are the trade of the media. Lady Gaga is merely the lightening rod of the moment. Stop being led into stupid discussions over meaningless things while the economy is being destroyed and our way of life is coming to an end. Focus on what matters.

BS of the Day
Two items to amuse and irritate.
Google Voice.
Google Voice is a internet call service. If someone calls one of your phone numbers, the service will automatically call all of your phone numbers. If someone leaves a message, it will convert the message to an e-mail. Guess that means it has the capability of converting all of your conversations to written form. Same technology.
BP oil spill costs public pensions in the United States $1.4 Billion and Calpers lost $285 million. How much more will the pensions lose if the oil keeps spilling?

I lied, one more thing
My attorney is the best in the world. I paid her when my taxes came in; but, she had one thing left to do. She had to send in paperwork so my retirement would be split with the ex. She sent me the paperwork and no bill. She said, when I paid her, she still had to do that thing and it would only be a couple of hours.
The law may be an ass and the system may suck (I did not cuss); but, I have nothing but the greatest respect for my attorney and my ex's attorney. They did their job and it was a job that had to be done. I cannot blame my ex's attorney for doing her job and do not. I cannot be mad that my attorney charged me for her time, it's her job. I would have been agreeable with paying them both if the court so ordered.
How many people will tell you that they appreciate their ex's attorney for doing their job? I understand the system, heck, I told both attorneys how things would turn our, they were wrong and I was right. To make any process work, you must have professionals, people who do their job and leave their personal feelings out of it, that is for judges and legislators.
I thank my attorney and my ex's attorney for doing their jobs. Neither was responsible for the outcome and I would, and have, recommended both to people I know. I have lost half my retirement and a couple of thousand a month; but, that is just what it is. Attorneys can be decent people and I am fortunate that I can say that both were.
If and when I remarry, I may even invite my ex's attorney, just to let her know that everything is all right. Respect professionals for being professional and know that many attorneys become such to make sure the process works. I don't want doctors judging their patients and I don't want attorneys to act as judges. I want professionals to be professionals. We should worry that the process is working.

One last thing on the Lord
Well, not quite, the Lords. I recently posted on Kings and Queens and discussed how we were considered commoners and therefore, in England they have the House of Commons. England has a two part legislature, the other is the House of Lords.
The House of Lords, what an interesting name. The House of Lords includes religious, church leaders. How can a Christian refer to himself as a Lord? What sort of Christian allows themselves to be called Lord? Who creates two legislatures, one for commoners and one for Lords?
Too many of us wish to be Masters and Lords and, well basically, our own God and the God over others. The Queen appoints people as Lords. It does not sound very democratic, sounds pretty totalitarian regardless of the laws they pass.

It is not like George Orwell said, we are not living in a new totalitarian world. Modern people wouldn't do that to each other. Certainly, not in the western, civilized world.

Why are we so ignorant?
I hope this a fair question. Why are Americans so ignorant? Not stupid, ignorant. Stupid has to do with ability, ignorant is a choice. It is the choice not to see what is around us or learn what the truth may be.
Lets look at this another way. How much more of this world would you be aware of if you tried? How much are you capable of being aware of? How often when presenting and argument do you quote an expert rather than the source?
Part of the answer is that some people are incapable of understanding anything, it is a small amount. Truly retarded or mentally disabled are a small fraction of the population. One does not need an IQ of 130 to read the newspaper or retain what is read. That means the vast majority of us are ignorant for other reasons.
Some people have limited or no access to information. Some people live in the depths of the Amazon or Papua New Guinea, the vast majority of us do not. To again ask my question another way, why do so many Americans know as little about the way the world works who are not mentally disabled and have access to news, books and the Internet?
Now some people will complain that they don't have the time. I guarantee that if you spent less than one hour a day reading you would begin to understand the world better. One hour well spent will change your world and I am not talking about your local paper. How many hours a day do you spend playing video games, exercising, watching television?
We are over occupied and call it entertainment or leisure. This is a symptom not the cause of our ignorance. We are ignorant by choice. We choose not to spend the time or choose not to investigate. We want the answers rather than to work through the facts to determine our own answers. We want an expert to tell us so that we don't have to do the work.
Another reason we remain ignorant is because we like to believe that the world is simple that things are the way we have been taught. As we grow older we become biased and begin ignoring things that go against our ego and our own agenda, we only want to know what we need to in order to get what we want, we think we get it all.
The older I get the more I do know that what I know is severely limited in scope and in depth. That has been how people have historically felt; but, not anymore. Now people get older and think they understand everything. They do not even want to consider that the world is not as they believe. Challenge their beliefs with facts and they become indignant, challenge their view of themselves and they become irate.
I began this blog with a question about existence. The only thing we can really know is that we exist, the rest is perceived. That single statement condemns all other beliefs to be conjecture, not fact, conjecture. Science teaches the opposite. It teaches that all we perceive is real and that we are momentary. Up is down and down is up.
Our ability to perceive, even with all the tools and science in the world, is so pitifully limited as to be laughable. We are ants looking at a world and can never understand that we are part of a universe. Do you really believe we understand the universe, do you then believe that we will not learn more about it in the future?
There are people who claim that we are going into the Age of Aquarius, they say we are on the verge of a great "spiritual awakening". If we are, we are unprepared. Most of us don't even know what the Lisbon Treaty is or what the Council on Foreign Relations is, how can we hope to understand more when we don't even understand the basics?
A child being exposed to trigonometry is incapable of understanding it if he does not understand basic math. I often ask very intelligent systems people, "Who owns the internet?" None have answered me correctly. I previously posted about this and it is still on the blog, so I will not repeat it. They don't know because they believe it is not relevant to what they do. It doesn't get them anymore cookies and people only want information that will get them cookies. Relevance.
Relevance is shorthand for, "Will it get me what I want". My response is that all knowledge has value. A philosopher is a lover of knowledge, a scientist is a lover of answers. They lie, scientists do, they tell us that in order for something to be accepted as truth it must be repeatable and then they tell us that the big bang theory is true. Yet, it is not repeatable. I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the big bang theory, it is the lie that I question.
Eventually all science and all experts reach the end of their understanding, of understanding things through their single lens. Egyptologists cannot explain why the Sphinx is at least 5,000 years old and predates dynastic egypt (geologists versus egyptologists, experts against each other with no common ground). At some point in time, true understanding requires challenging precepts as our understanding of other things grows. Well, I have to cut this short and snore. Nobody to hear so it doesn't matter. Be well.
