Adam and Eve had two sons, Abel and Cain. This symbolism gives further insight into the dawn of modern human consciousness as it is transmitted to the next generation. Abel was a herder of animals and Cain was the tiller of the soil. Cain becomes jealous of Abel and kills him. When Cain kills Abel, this symbolism is about farming superseding herding; civilization begins. There are other subtle insights.

In terms of math and written language skills, these were far more intensive in farming, compared to herding. Herding was around even before written language. Farming was a new invention and was more complicated, requiring more math and procedural interaction. Math was needed for spacing crops, buying seeds, collecting products from each plant, the amount of water needed per row, manpower for harvesting, the timing of planting, processing materials to make flour, calculate loss, set price, give to the Gods, etc.,

The net affect was Cain, was far more involved with written language, than Abel, because of farming. Cain had become more repressed and impulsive, due to the dual memory storage of business and social law; sales and deeds. His jealousy was a calculation of value, with his impulse to act, a way to even the score; neutralize the divide. This impulse was from the repressed dark side of law. 

Abel who was favored by God, was far less repressed, since he followed the age old traditions of the pre-humans, which could be accomplished with only spoken language. The symbolism of Cain and Abel suggests  that the change in consciousness, that had occurred in Adam and Eve, was not transmitted biologically, to Cain or Abel. Rather it was a product of learning, free will and choice. Cain was born natural.

This is consistent with the warning to Adam and Eve, if you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; learn the written law, you shall die; you will lose your instincts. Cain, by the necessity of his occupation, needed to eat of the tree of knowledge. Cain loses his instinctive connection. One can see a similar affect, even in modern times, where different siblings have different political views of civil right and wrong. They may become distant and can lose their instincts for each other, as family. Abel's brain was not consciously wired for jealousy, which is why he had favor with God.

Cain's crime is discovered by God and Cain is sent away. When Cain gets his punishment, he becomes afraid and complains to God, whomever shall come upon him, shall kill him. So God gives him a sign for protection.

The question becomes, who are these whomever, if Adam and Eve are the first two humans and Cain is now the only son? Cain's fear suggests that there are other humans out there, whom he fears will get even with him for killing Abel; the other herders.

These others, were the pre-humans, evolving slowly by DNA as science suggests. They had not yet eaten of the written language of law. They were still natural and a continuation of the old ways of instinctive humans. The story of Adam and Eve is not about the biological evolution of humans. The beginning of Adam and Eve, is anything by normal biology. It was about the evolution of new type of man, who will stemmed from natural man. The change was based on learning, which would alter the mind and brain, so free will appears.

God gives Cain a sign for protection. Cain's fear was actually a projection. Cain was aware of right and wrong, due his knowledge of the written law. He felt self conscious of his actions due to his guilt. Guilt is taught by the law. Natural man; whom he felt would kill him, were still morally neutral, since they had yet to learn written law. They lived in harmony with nature in the outskirts, outside the settlement.

The sign given by God, was more to make Cain feel comfortable, so he would stop projecting his guilt to those, who do not judge right and wrong. Brothers fight and accidents happen. In tradition, Cain marries and he has children. His prodigy would play key roles helping to form some of the adjacent civilizations; This symbolism suggests that Cain taught his prehuman children, the new invention, in a more practical way. Cain learned his lesson.

Adam and Eve, then have a third son, Seth. Seth symbolized a better balance being struck between the needs of natural instinct and the needs of the modern human required for civilization. Cain and Abel were polarized; all or nothing. The polarization of Cain and Abel, suggests that Abel was much closer to Eve, and Cain much closer to Adam.  Eve was stressing natural instinct for her son, Abel, in response to her own guilt for willpower and choice. Cain learns from Adam, the ways of math, science and written invention. However, Cain is not close enough to God, to be on guard of the pitfalls. He is young and has to learn the hard way. After losing their two children, Seth becomes the son that both Adam and Eve will love, with Seth taught to strike a balance. The symbolism shows humans learning from mistakes how  find the sweet spot between willpower and instinct; secular and religion.

Sacrifices to the gods were a way to humble the ego and cut it down to size. The ego has plans and fears, so having to throw value away into the fire, messes with the ego. The ego see its things as an extension of itself. However, this is the way back to instinct. Instinct does not such plans or fears, but has trust in in nature to provide as it has done for eons of time. The rest of Genesis is about the pendulum swinging too far to willower and repression, where unnatural choices are made, compelled by Satan; subroutine stemming from collective laws.

In modern times, the left likes to male laws. In the US the left adds written law at a very high rate. If law causes the polarization of memory, instinctive repression, and unconscious compulsion from the dark side, one would expect the left to be more impulsive and more unnatural. Turning boys into girls is not natural. This is based on law and willpower and will not happen naturally. Humans should be reducing law to reduce the repression and compulsion, aiming for a smaller set of objective laws.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil, is symbolically connected to a special aspect of written language; law. Law specifies and divides behavior into what is socially acceptable and what is not acceptable; good and evil. It also specifics the rewards and consequences; reward for conformity and punishment for violation. Like a tree, law begins with a basic premise; we need clean water. It then branches out from this trunk as new conditions appear and new violations become manifest. The tax law may have begun with a single page, and is now a giant red wood tree with 70,000 pages all connected to a revenue trunk.

Natural instinct is morally neutral. Before written language, law was moldable, since it was not carved into stone. Law would be subject to misunderstanding, debate, forgetfulness and then forgotten, due to the inertia of instinct. Once the main pusher of a law, died, so might the law, in its old form. Once law was written down, and cast into stone for all to see, a repression of natural instinct would start to occur. Without written language ,the IRS tax code would never have gotten larger than a few pages of oral text due to the limits of memory. This was better for instinct while also allowing a modern system of organics rules to appear.

When memory is created, in general terms, an emotional tag is added to the sensory input, by the hypocampus. The hypocampus is a small region in the center of the brain connected to limbic system. The limbic system helps regulate emotions. The result is our oldest and strongest memories will have a strong emotional valance, due to this writing process.

Written law is unique with respect to the memory writing process, because law is binary and needs to be defined by the brain as two opposing emotions at the same time. Law tells us the good path that brings the feelings of satisfaction and peace. It also defines the bad path which brings the feelings of wrath, fear and pain. The net effect is the hypocampus divides law memories into two opposing emotional states, and stores each in different places. If law was stored as one averaging conflicting emotion, it would be hard to differentiate right and wrong; morally neutral. 

As an example, try to remember your favorite gal (guy) and your least favorite gal (guy) from dating years. Next, picture if your least favorite was also your most favorite. This paradox; was the best of times and worse of times, plays with the mind, differently.  Your mind would be trying to average the good with the bad; back to neutral. Before written language this was the end game for law; by the mind; neutral, due to neutral instinct. After written language, distinctions became clear and lasting, which was not natural.

The symbolism of the tree of knowledge, contains the serpent, Satan. A snake is phallic symbol; male creative principle,  and is also an animal that hugs the earth. Satan the snake symbolizes impulses of instinct; male is the dynamic principle. The conscious mind can only focus on one of the two aspects of law, at a time. Using the gal or guy example, say that person was both the best and the worse, we will remember the best times or the worse of times. It is not normal to superimpose the best and worse and remember the person that conflicting way. For example, she had the nicest smile, as she hit you on the head with an ashtray. If you remembered that way it would not be good for survival or good for enjoying beauty since each will extreme will be cancelled. The brain will separate this into two separate things to help keep each distinct.

Since law is divided into two memory locations and the conscious mind will try to think of one at a time, to maintain differentiation; left brain, the unconscious mind will take over the other side of law memory. Satan symbolizes the counter point of the unconscious mind, when mixed feelings become divided into two separated memory stacks. The result is the dark side of law, can take on a type of autonomy; Satan, as we consciously try to do good. Prohibition will create temptation due to the instinctive consolidation of the dark side of law.

In terms of a summary, a person learns the law, the brain divides this memory into two emotional places. The conscious mind will fixate on the good path to help maintain the needed distinctions for good social behavior. The bad side of the law is still part of the memory, but is now unconscious since we avoid evil. It also acts; one law, via repressed instinctive impulse. The temptation in an attempt to resolve the lack of neutrality. Written language was very useful for evolving modern consciousness; differentiate the universe. 

Adam and Eve, were trying to do good, but the repression of instinct and the unconscious autonomy of the dark side of law; part of one law, caused their dark side to act; temptation, in an attempt to restored instinctive neutrality, But writing made this impossible. Paradise is lost and a wall appears connected to law.

Tree of life is different. Life is morally neutral. It acts based on the laws of science, which are not dividing into good and evil, but rather divided based on cause and affect. The electron is not evil and the proton is not good. Both are part of the same atom which allows chemistry to appear. Merging cause with affect, does not change the emotions with respecting to keeping each separate. Moral and civil law created a  wall with objectivity. If Adam and Eve had also eating of the tree of tree, moral law would have been created that was very objective and scientific, which would made it last forever; bad for natural instinct. Instead the wall appears until law evolves to objectivity, while also allowing natural instinct. Even today law is not quite there, so paradise; natural  instinct, is closed or out of phase.

To symbolically extrapolate on the Creationist parallel to the invention of written language; one set of claims in Creationism is that Adam was made from the dust of the earth in the image of God. The dust of the earth is symbolic and attempts to express an analogy.

The ancient people were well aware of sex and reproduction; herding and breeding. The claim of Adam's formation from dust implies he was not a product by normal biological process, based on sex and DNA. Rather his rebirth was different. It was based on a type of repression, not hard wired into the DNA, nor transmitted by sex.

The dust of the earth is a boundless measure; like neurons. Earth is symbolic of instinct; repression of instinct. In the image of God, is about spirit and not about matter and cells and DNA. The entire symbolism is connected to an information or neural based transformation, instead of a physical one. The human imagination is not bound to the parameters of physical reality, but is limitless like the dust of the earth; neural connections. 

Adam is lonely in the garden, and Eve is made from Adam's ribs to be his helpmate. The invention of writing and the transformation of the personality that would result, relative to instinctive man, would isolate you, especially if you were the first and only person. You would become changed and would be out of phase with everyone, who is still connected to instinct; paradise.

Our ribs protect the heart/lungs The symbolism of Eve made from Adam's rib, is symbolic of empathy from Eve, who instinctively protects Adam's heart, in his fragile state via her love and maternal instincts. Being so close to Adam; protects his heart with positive reinforcement and love, she learns from Adam and she becomes symbolically transformed in spirit; apprenticeship of the mind.

The initial return to paradise for the young couple, seems to indicate that Eve helps Adam's overcome his repression, restoring his instincts. However, at the same time, Adam continues his work on the invention, which transforms Eve; both eventually lose instinctive paradise; self awareness.

https://sites.utexas.edu/dsb/tokens/the-evolution-of-writing/

the Mesopotamian cuneiform script, invented in Sumer, present-day Iraq, c. 3200 BC, can be traced without any discontinuity over a period of 10,000 years, from a prehistoric antecedent to the present-day alphabet. Its evolution is divided into four phases: (a) clay tokens representing units of goods were used for accounting (8000–3500 BC); (b) the three dimensional tokens were transformed into two-dimensional pictographic signs, and like the former tokens, the pictographic script served exclusively for accounting (3500–3000 BC); (c) phonetic signs, introduced to transcribe the name of individuals, marked the turning point when writing started emulating spoken language and, as a result, became applicable to all fields of human experience (3000–1500 BC); (d) with two dozen letters, each standing for a single sound of voice, the alphabet perfected the rendition of speech. After ideography, logographs and syllabaries, the alphabet represents a further segmentation of meaning.

An interesting observation is connected to the time parallel between the Creationist's view of the age of the universe and the evolution of written language; about 6000 years ago. This suggest that the invention of written language, had an impact on the human psyche, which changed humanity. "In the beginning was word and word was God." God may have been the first written name, inspired by the gods; unconscious mind. A name brings one into focus.

The importance of written language, with respect to differentiating modern human consciousness, can be seen with a simple example, Say you went to college, but there was no written language. You can't take notes, the teacher can lecture, but without projectors and textbooks. There are no written exams. It would not be easy to learn the same material, if we had no written language.

The main problem this would create is the members of the class may not agree on what was said and taught, since all has to be done by recollection. There is no record, and we all need to depend on our memory, which if you day dream or  doze off, will be blank. There is no easy way to get together and agree. The result will be the mighty and the confidence men will become the source of information, for the rest of the students. The mighty can back up his opinion with a fist and the confidence man sounds convincing; fake news. The result will be inner doubt or obsession, and a rapid loss of the memory. People will return to an instinctive routine, unless there is a one on one apprenticeship. 

Once a system of writing is in place, if the mind starts to doubt and forget and return to instinct, there is a way to refresh the memory in a consistent way for all, that is in contradiction to the inertia of instinct. The invention of writing caused a   type of instinctive repression. 

In other words, what was known in 3000 BC, was not the final reality, It was some of the first baby steps. To force the brain to remember that, which is not eternal or universal, like instinct, is repressive even of popular. The mind will want to extrapolate, but it is carved in stone and sacred; repeat. As the brain becomes dammed, neural energy is available that induces a secondary center of consciousness associated with choice and willpower.

Currently, the consensus of opinion believes you need language to think. This is true but only for the secondary center of consciousness. The primary or the original instinctive center got along for hundreds of thousands of years without it.  In tradition, Adam was good at math and sciences, with commerce math the originator of written language.

Hypothetically, say you were the firs to invent written language. You practiced these skill for years, before everyone else has any need or curiosity. Your brain would shift to a new place; fixed structured memory. 

This is similar to modern times and the invention of the internet. As we practice this invention it detaches people from using their sensory systems, in a natural way, thereby atrophying natural skills. A new social person appears.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Why does low-dose alcohol gives me headaches?

« on: 14/02/2018 12:15:06 »

For some reasons, drinking small amounts of alcohol always gives me headaches the morning after.

My body and brain doesn't seem to tolerate alcohol very well.

What is the best way to prevent and mitigate this issue?

During alcohol distillation, not only is ethyl alcohol produced, but other unwanted side products are also produced due to the heat of distillation. Alcohol distillation can also produce ethyl ether, as well as something called fusel oils.

The higher end spirits; top shelf, tend to compensate better for these by-products. This can be done during distillation; take off the by-products as sides streams, via multiple distillations,  as well as through aging. The fusels oils, in particular, are often responsible for head aches.

Since you drink only small amounts, buy upper shelf booze, instead of inexpensive well brands. The higher and top shelf brands take the extra cleaning steps. But also before bed, drink a large glass of water. De-hydration is another cause for morning headache, since the body uses water to process the alcohol.

General Science / Re: Is it possible to have a sphere with infinite radius?

« on: 11/02/2018 12:54:22 »

Mathematics is not religion. You do not have to take mathematics on faith. It is mathematics where proofs are found. Now go and prove a religion in the same way. You might as well punch smoke.

Actually there is one very fundamental mathematical operation that needs to be taken with faith. This is division by fractions. If I have one gallon of gas and divide that by 1/10, I get 10 gallons of gas.  This operation violates energy conservation since it adds gas out of nowhere. If this violation of energy conservation was valid, then the operation would need to be a magic trick, with a hidden compartment, so we can add the extra nine gallons, when nobody is paying attention.

Let me look at this closer; If I have one gallon of gas and divide it by 10, I separate that one gallon into 10 equal parts, each with 1/10 gallon. This can be done in reality and makes perfect sense. If I apply this division logic to the one gallon divided by an 1/10, I separate the one gallon into 1/10 equal parts, to get a new total of 10 gallons? How is that done and how does it avoid violating energy conservation? Could it be done in the lab? Would dividing a gallon of high and low octane gas by a 1/10 takes different amounts of energy? The operation is based on a procedure that needs faith and cannot be done in the lab. It will have the same success, as making God appear in the lab.

The Lorenz factor in Special Relativity uses this faith procedure. The procedure, itself, could create devotion. The real point I am making is convention does not always have to make sense, if we all go along.  Math does not have to reflect the limits of reality, if we all agree to ignore the shortcomings. Imagine if science required all math operators and assumptions run a tangible experiment, to show the operation, by itself, can be done in reality.

This is subtle, but this magic in math is useful and is needed to escape reality, into the world of human imagination so we can make synthetics and improve on nature. A sky scraper is not natural but is helped by math.

@petelamanaI found your post very interesting.

Which is more than can be said for puppy’s ramblings. He still hasn’t explained 1/8 of infinity, im tempted to move his posts to new theories rather than clogging up bandwidth here.

The concept of infinity was original defined, based on a universe perspective of a singular universe. To solve the problem at hand, I needed to change the limits of infinity,  to reflect the newer premises in science. I worked under the assumption there are multi-universes. These others universes, are not side-by-side, defining part of original infinity in our universe.  I assume they all overlap, in their own dimension, where each universe is unconscious of the others and therefore each can be used to define infinity, based on itself. Each universe is self absorbed, and sets conventions for infinity as though it is all there is; all it can see. We can't see the other universes, so each assumes they are the matrix by which infinity has it limits. Again, when our infinity convention was first cast into some, this applied to our own self absorbed universe.

The analogy that I saw is like layers in Photoshop. With layers in Photoshop, each layer can define an entire picture by itself. No layer is a fraction of a full picture, since all layers are the same size. These multi-universe layers are all stacked, each independent of the other. They can also be blended, so they all superimpose  in part,  or whole.

Since infinity in each layer is the limit convention, seen by each layer, a radius of infinity already extends to the limits in each layer. Therefore, it is not possible to define a sphere of diameter of 2r in any one layer, since that would mean double infinity, which is a contradiction in terms of the convention in each layer. The story should end there.

However, since I have many layers, with the inhabitants of each layers, self absorbed and assuming they can hold a full infinity, I can get a sphere of diameter 2r, by placing a fraction of the sphere; each fraction is of infinity size, in each layer. I we use eights spherical arc of radius infinity, one on each layer.

I would then take the layers, rotate each, and then blend all the layers, until what appears is the double infinity, contained in all the layers, but which looks like an infinite sphere of radium 1/2 infinity, in our layer. When you blend layers some things can be reinforced, and others can cancel, until we get the final sphere.

Photoshop layers can blend light/energy. Light/energy is the same stuff 99.999% of the observations of the universe are based on. This layer technique should work. If nature had natural blending layers, between others dimensions and our own, the light and energy signals would not just add or subtract, they can also multiply. What we would see, would not be what is there, in one self absorbed universe. It is a team effort. This is why we need the C ground stat, since this is the same in all universes.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What would micro black-holes made at the large hadron collider (LHC) look like?

« on: 08/02/2018 13:37:57 »

A normal black hole forms under pressure.

I'm not being critical, but "forms" is present tense. Black holes are postulates of data gathered from observed phenomena light years away, and even then its a mathematical calculation. If our math is that good then "forms" is the right word.......and what is a "normal" black hole compared to an "abnormal" one given the observations of this term are based on the red shift effect and cosmic microwave background radiation rounded into this event without any elementary particle collider feature to be taken noted of in such experiments?

Black holes can theoretically form from collapsing stars or larger mass bodies. They can also theoretically be an ancient artifact of the original primordial atom singularity. There is nothing that says that the primordial atom singularity of the BB had to completely atomized all the way to sub particles. The primordial atom could have been an expansion that also allowed the formation of many ancient daughter black holes. Pressure would be needed for these daughter black hole  phases to remain.

The analogy would be say we had a huge neutron star that has enough mass to theoretically be equal to 100 smaller neutron stars. We rig this grand daddy neutron star to explode, but in a controlled way that allows it to break up into pieces. We try not to disrupt things too much so each piece can consolidate itself, to form daughter neutron stars. This break up is not perfect, so we also get a lot of debris in the process; lose part of the C to C- phase.

As the original mass density of the primordial atom lowers, by forming smaller neutrons stars and debris,  space-time expands and the pressure drops, even more. New phases appear, except in the blackhole areas, which maintain their nature.They move with space-time and the debris field.

If you were to sit in the middle of a daughter black hole, since the reference is very close to C and C-, as far as you are concerned, the primordial atom never appeared to do anything, since distances and time still appear so contracted. Distinction, as we know it, is only seen where space-time is much less contracted than C; space-time debris field.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: What would micro black-holes made at the large hadron collider (LHC) look like?

« on: 08/02/2018 12:29:03 »

This is my opinion, as to not mislead anyone.

A normal black hole forms under extreme pressure. This extreme pressure is typically caused by the collapse of a large mass body. Pressure is the main operating variable. High energy or high temperature, without extreme pressure for containment, will not form a black hole. High energy, without extreme pressure containment, is an expansion. In terms of colliders, the target area fluffs out. If we could contain the target with pressure, so all the generated particles remain contained in the same volume, new phases will appear. For example, if we used a small exploding A-bomb as the target, to get extreme internal pressure containment, we would see new things.

Pressure causes matter to undergo various phase transitions, with the blackhole composed of an exotic matter/energy equilibrium, that is neither matter or energy. Energy can't escape a black hole since the line between matter and energy is blurred. Energy is not exactly energy and matter is not exactly matter, so GR treats both as matter.

A neutron star is composed of a matter phase, that is maybe a one or two steps away from a blackhole. If we were to see binary neutrons or neutron pairs, we know we are heading in the right direction. The stability of the neutron, in the neutron star, is pressure dependent. The neutron start did not collapse into exotic sub particles due to the extreme pressure containment.

At the energy/matter equilibrium point of the black hole, this phase is neither matter or energy, but is a hybrid phase at the C and C- transition. The black hole forms a state, initiated by GR related pressures, that approaches the time dilation and distance contraction of the speed of light. In other words, GR and SR overlap near C.  GR induced space-time contraction is the same as SR space-time contraction.

To better describe this state, say we start with an electron. We add energy and caused it to approach C, We use kinetic energy and SR. If we tried to make the electron reach C, this would theoretically require infinite energy. On the other hand, if upon approaching C-, the electron spontaneously converted to a photon of energy, then the amount of energy to reach C would be way less.

If go the other way, and we start with a photon of energy at C, and if we could somehow slow the photon to C-, it would not longer be energy but inertial. It would become a form of inertial matter, so close to C, it would have required infinite energy forms to get it there in the lab; infinite energy matter state. This is not possible, since this would violate energy conservation. You can't get infinite energy matter, from a finite energy photon, by simply slowing down to C- to get an inertial particle very close to C.

Energy conservation dictates the need for a new phase, where transitions between C and C- can occur, but without an infinite energy requirement in either direction. Since both directions are in equilibrium, the line is blurred between energy and matter, as both move between C= energy and C- = inertial. There is a small finite activation energy.

If we could induce a slight pressure drop, this phase will not be possible. The result is the infinite energy constraint would reappear; boom as GR becomes SR.

General Science / Re: How Dense Can Water Get? Can water under pressure become a solid?

« on: 28/01/2018 12:30:16 »

Water expands when it freezes into solid ice. This is why ice floats on liquid water. When we add pressure, we cause liquid water to contract, which can prevent the water from expanding into ice. Liquid water can exist down to about -55F by adding pressure because the pressure will not allow the water to expand into ice. At -55F the lack of expansion is compensated by the slow mobility of the water molecules, such that it no longer has the entropy of a liquid. A metastable solid can form.

This strange behavior is due to the unique properties of hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding shows both covalent and polar character. As a polar bond, the EMF or electromagnetic force potential is lowered by the hydrogen bonds getting as close as possible; minimize charge potential. As a covalent bond, the hydrogen bond needs to expand, so the covalent bonding orbitals can overlap properly. Pressure keeps the hydrogen bonds from expanding, such that they remain more polar, unable to expand into the needed covalent orientations for ice.

This shift in hydrogen bonding between polar and covalent states is important to life. It allows high and low density water clusters to form in then continuous liquid water phase within life.  If the local water expands via a covalent dominate cluster, this can put the squeeze on a local enzyme, so it can't move property to function, If the cluster shifts more polar and thereby contracts, now the enzyme is loose and can react. Information moving through the water, via hydro bonding, has a physical consequence.

If we maintained pressure and continued to add heat,the heat will eventually cause the polar bonds to expand, allowing solid water to form at high temperatures and high pressures. If we continue to add temperature, eventually the hydrogen bonds start to break, such that the polar and covalent transition is moot. This water above its critical point. Hydrothermal water; above the critical point, is very corrosive to most minerals and grinds down organics to CO2.

If we continue to add even more temperature and pressure, water undergoes several additional phases changes into exotic phases. The first is superionic water, then ionic water, and then liquid metal water, and final solid metallic water, which has a density of about 3.5 grams/cc.

In metallic water, the oxygen atoms of water form the stationary matrix of the water metal. The hydrogen protons are able to move, similar to the way elections move in most metals. Along with the hydrogen protons, are mobile electrons. Metallic water is a metal composed of an oxygen matrix, that conducts electricity using a plasma of hydrogen protons and hydrogen atoms.

Metallic water can theoretically exist in the core of the earth. The conditions of the core are within the parameters of the metallic water phase. The hydrogen proton plasma current of liquid and metallic water would be very corrosive to the metallic iron in the core. The oxygen matrix can accommodate extra elections, with the plasma hydrogen fetching elections from the iron. The earth has large supply of natural internal energy, proportional to the amount of iron in the earth's core. The liquid and metallic water will attempt to amalgamate with the iron, with the hydrogen of metallic water putting irons elections into play. This is reflected in the slight negative charge of the oceans.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Does water on another planet or moon indicate life?

« on: 21/01/2018 13:16:10 »

Water is key to life. The most important reason is, water forms a unique hydrogen bonding environment that is needed for life. Other molecules, like ammonia, can form hydrogen bonds, but only water molecules can form a vast 3-D continuum of four hydrogen bonds, allowing it to mimic carbon, but via secondary bonding.

Diamond, for example, is based on each carbon atom forming four covalent bonds with other carbon atoms, to form a vast 3-D continuum, Water sort of does the same thing, with its four hydrogen bonds. However, water has a few tricks up its sleeve, so this looser 3-D water structure is very adaptable to dissolved surfaces.

The dynamics of life is based on secondary bonds, like hydrogen bonding. For example, the primary covalent structure of DNA is a very sturdy molecular structure, This does not undergo change, except under strong conditions. The activity of the DNA is based on forming and breaking hydrogen bonds. The tetrahedral natural of the hydrogen bonds of water, in the aqueous continuum, allows water to mimic the surface of the primary covalent structure of DNA, and act as a proxy. Ammonia is not symmetrical with respect to hydrogen bonds such that its hydrogen bonding network is limited in scope.  You cannot dissolve DNA in ammonia and expect life, since the hydrogen bond network is not vest enough to communicate properly.

The second reason is water is at the bottom of the chemical energy well, with respect to most of the other proposed molecules for alternate life. In other words, if you burn ammonia, methane, alcohols, etc., water is one of the final products. Say you were to form life in ammonia, for the sake of argument, what prevents this life from evolving to where it can burn or metabolize it own solvent; ammonia, for energy. That solvent can be burned since is is not at minimum energy. If that life form found a way, it would burst into flames, and make water. Once life reaches water, it has reached the floor and stops trying to burnt itself.

Say hypothetically, that ammonia based life developed a fail safe so it did not spontaneously combust. The energy bandwidth, for ammonia based life, would always be much smaller than that of water based life, due to the water having the lowest energy floor. Water life would be more vigorous and could extract extra more energy from the same food, due to the higher energy potential between the water floor and all organic food materials. If formed side by side, life in water would have big selective advantages, due to its lowest energy floor.

The last key reason for water, which is critical to the formation of life, in the first place, can be seen with the analogy of water and oil. If you mix water and oil, instead of a randomization due to oil and water dissolving, you will get order, as the system forms two layers. Water's self hydrogen bonding environment is so vast and strong, that organics tend to be excluded and often need to segregate, resulting in a reverse of entropy, needed to the order within life.

Other solvents tend to dissolve organics. Ammonia is a good degreaser, which means it will discourage organic clustering and will attempt to dissolve and randomize/dissolve any organic structures that try to form. Water, on the other hand,  will self hydrogen bond and induce some organics to segregate and cluster into organelles and others, like lipids to cluster into membrane, allowing life to form.

The search for water, is about the search for the solvent with all the natural selective advantages needed for the fastest forming and most energy vigorous forms of life. We are looking for the A-team, that will not self combust by eating its own solvent in hard times.

Note: Hydrogen bonding is required for life. A much deeper reason is, hydrogen bonds are very unique in that these bonds show both covalent and polar characteristics. The DNA is covalently bonded together, while ions like sodium and potassium interact with polar interactions. Water, via its hydrogen bonds, can bridge this gap, since it can go both ways.

The binary nature of hydrogen bonds also allows water to communicate with anything in the cell, using the hydrogen bonding as a binary switch. The clustering structures of water can flip hydrogen bonding switches, in various sequences, between the two states. This type of binary communication, goes way beyond semi-conductor switches. This is not as simple as on-off, since each state of each binary switch has distinct physical values in terms of enthalpy, entropy and volume/pressure. What that means is information, is more than just data, it also has physical force and energy behind it.

For example, water clusters have been shown in the lab to have both high and low density configurations. This loosely analogous to going between liquid water and ice; contract and expand. Each state is based on the proportion of the hydrogen bonds; polar or covalent. The cluster stays stable, but can alter shape based on the distribution of polar or covalent switches.This means the cluster can get skinny or get fatter. These physics changes, to information, can muscle adjacent things, based on how the information received translates into the cluster. Not only is a pressure being exerted; plus or minus, but with that pressure comes changes in enthalpy and entropy, since each state of the binary is different. The water cluster can push or pull an enzyme, and then give or take away free energy, This is shown in the link below.

As an example, if you flipped the hydrogen bonding water switches to the covalent sides, all the water clusters in the cell will expand and the cell's water will gel. The cell gets very viscous. If we flip the switches the other way, all the clusters contract and the viscosity goes down and the cell is loose. This type of communication would be global, but it can also be induced locally; gel one gene.

General Science / Re: Is recalling dreams linked to mental illness?

« on: 18/01/2018 13:15:50 »

Neural memory is different from computer memory. Neural memory is defined based on specific chemical potentials assigned to memory. Computer memory is defined by a human convention, based on a binary system of on-off semi-conductor switches.

For example, the recall of a neural memory of a car accident, can bring on stress, due to the emotional tagging. This memory recall generates more brain energy, than a memory of patting fuzzy bunnies. Computer memory of these two events are not much different in terms of computer energy level. A computer will not use more electrical power recalling the accident over the bunnies. However, the brain will use more power.

Dreams are sort of a way for the brain to redistribute its stored memory energy, to coincide with an optimized internal neutral set point. If the brain potential is too high, such as due to memory based repressions by the conscious mind,  there will be a redistribution of the potential, via memory, with the result being a dream. From this dream output, one can infer the original potential and the source of potential, if one is aware of the internal set point; reverse engineering the source of the dream. This is done in dream analysis.

As an analogy of the brain energy flow, say we had a stream that flows down the mountain. It has carved a path over eons. This os the natural brain. One day we place a dam in the stream. This will build up potential with a pool of water forming behind the dam.  Eventually, the water in the pool will get high enough to where a potential forms to find a way around or over the dam. It will overflow or detour the dam and meander down a new path, until hooks back up with the original stream. The intensity of the dream and its content is based on the potential cause by the dam and the meandering path through our memory needed to remove the potential.

In the olden days of the American Indians, the chief of a tribe would have special dreams that would become part of the tribes cultural identity. Since the chief are in charge of the group, the impact of group's behavior and its results, would impact the collective via formed habits, attitudes, and results. If this is off center, it can cause a collective repression or damming of the natural flow, for the entire tribe.  Since the chief carries the responsibility weight of the tribe, he may have a dream that lowers the potential. This dream is not just for him, but also for his group. Since old habits can be hard to  break, the dream of the chief may not solve the problem, in one sitting. However, it may serve as a conscious template; from the gods, to help identify the problem, as well as a possible solution to get his collective tribe back on the path back to nature.

In my experience, dreams are in layers. The most conscious layering of dreams are connected to the personal unconscious; personal memories and habits that form dams. This is due to willpower and choice. The next layer has to do with the cultural superego. This is connected to group think, which may not be optimized in terms of brain energy. Group behavior may create a need to feel part of the group, to remove one source of stress; collective censor, but this can create a personal problem. The last layer is connected to the collective unconscious, which is natural human propensity common to all humans. These type of dreams deal with the longest term cultural perturbations, that can extend over generations and even longer. Humans are no longer natural, and the brain remembers this, based on our DNA from the days of natural humans. It would be very difficult to remain natural in culture, since you would be odd and group pressure will force you to repress.

The title of this topic is, are dreams linked to mental illness. This concern would have the affect of maintaining the damming repressions, by making the natural brain solution, appear suspect. For example, if you look at the anti-Trump movement, there is a lot of anger and fear. The members are mad all the time while other are afraid of all types of scenarios. This is high potential memory damming caused by group think. It is deeper than the personal unconscious since it involves group dynamics; peer pressure and security. If you assume dreams are connected to mental illness there is no antidote to this mental poison, since the propaganda aims one layer below the personal unconscious, which is two layers below conscious. The opposite is actually true.

The result would be different if the group disagreement was based on logic, data and reason, since, like Mr Spock, this uses lower potential; rational calmness. But the propaganda induction induces the highest potential memory dams. This is not healthy for a human to sustain, day after day. However, the shackles of choice are connected to group dynamics which has it own sweet spot. The ideal culture works well fro the both the group and individual.

General Science / Re: Social science, looks, and names for outcasts...

« on: 16/01/2018 12:00:52 »

<font color="blue">Around the world we have some idea of North American terms which describe people, favourably and noteably disfavourably. Such as Nerd, screwball, dork, chock, dweeb, freak and geek...

What makes a nerd and what makes a dweeb...? I hear it relates to looks and social behaviour. What effects does it have on the outcast to be named such?

In Australia we seldom use those terms and what of England? We call some people "dags" here.

What are these American terms?</font id="blue">

<font color="green">Titanscape</font id="green">

In the more masculine societies of old, men often made sport of each other, using these and other words. This was all part of a pack mentality, pointing out superficial differences, until they no longer made a difference with respect to the pack. If you enlisted into the army, your comrades will come from all parts of the country. In battle, you will work as a team in spite of these shallow differences. But in peace time and training, you will spar and compete, with the goal of toughen each other up, so you can work as a team when needed.

I remember when I lived down south in the USA, I was called a Yankee by the indigenous males, while my southern friends were called the red necks. It was not done in anger or hate, but in humor. The clever insults from both sides and the group laughter, made us all friends. This is natural male behavior and is part of organizing.

Many of the terms you mentioned were originally coined in American colleges, among guys making friends and forming packs. Nerd was originally spelled, " knurd ", which was "drunk" spelled backwards. It was originally a friendly insult giving to a friend, who wanted to study, when there was a party. It was peer pressure, with a limited amount of pressure. The spelling was changed to nerd, remove this play on words. PC made it an insult.

As culture became more feminine, the original male pack banter got lost in the shuffle; locker room talk. Women are more concerned with their surface appearance, which is why they spend so much time on make up. This may be due to the fact this is how they attract males, since men tend notice female secondary sexual characteristics and many will not see much deeper.

The problem with living in a world more concerned with the needs of the surface, than the strength of the pack, is it does not take much for someone to smear your eye liner and degrade the perfection of your look. There is no foundation in the depths.The change from depth to shallows changed the entire dynamics of these words. If you add to this, broken homes where mothers raise sons, then many boys lose access to that friendly banter, among their dad and his male peers. The boys starts to think like mom, more concerned about makeup, less she/he become less desirable to suiters  like employers.

President Trump is an old school male. He was born at the end of WWII, when culture as still very masculine. He is  not feminized or PC, but is an old fashion male pack mate. His words appeal to the more masculine on the right, who look at this differently. The more feminized political left has a cow, because even though President Trump is trying to make the American pack strong, all the left can see is their make-up is being smudged. Even a hand gesture runs the risk of the lip stick being smeared and the whole look is ruined.

We may not be able to change male and female human nature, but we can show boys how to be men, who can spar with words, to strengthen packs, while having respect for the ladies who are concerned with makeup.

Just Chat! / Re: Non theist but not atheist? What do you believe?

« on: 25/12/2017 12:42:31 »

Being a person of very limited understanding, I cannot accept that a just and loving deity invented congenital syphilis.

This has to do with laws of nature versus the unnatural choices of human willpower. If you choose the natural path, this will not be a problem. There are natural paths which allow one to avoid this. The problem is, atheism believes the ego is like a god, and therefore should be able to make any choice it wants, since as god, it makes the rules. If these choices do not turn out well, you blame god for not caring. The real dynamics of God is, there are natural laws which if followed, allow all things to be fine. It is up to us to find the path of natural living.   

As an example, we have the laws of gravity. If we choose to play god and jump off the bridge so we can fly, we may be injured. Some will blame God for allowing us to crash land. In God's plan it is up to humans to learn the limits of natural law, through science in this case, so we can exist in safety and peace.  The theists will not blame god for their own ignorance and crash landing, since we have a choice or learn the laws and not be ignorant.

What is Religion?

If look at Buddhism, this is a major world religion that has no gods. But it is still considered a religion. Deities are not the deciding factor in terms of defining religion, in a universal way. If you compare Buddhism to Atheism neither worships deities. One may ask, why are both not considered religions or why are not both considered not religions?

The main difference between Buddhism and Atheism, is Atheism is extroverted and bases its judgements and philosophy on that which enters the sensory systems from the external environment. The Atheist has to see, smell, touch, hear and taste, to believe.

Buddhism is introverted and bases its judgements and philosophy on what comes to awareness from the inside. It is the same human brain, but each uses a different portal to self and universal awareness. As an example, innovation begins as an idea within the imagination of one person. If this is new, it can't be seen from the outside by others. To the atheists it does not exist, until the innovator makes a physical copy so the atheist can see, touch, hear, taste and smell to verify its existence. But to the introvert, it exists upon its conception even before we see it.

Theist type religions are more similar to Buddhism, than to Atheism, in the sense they do not depend entirely on their sensory systems for verification. The God or gods of theism are based on faith, which is a  type of internal awareness that cannot be seen from the outside. It uses an internal instead of external portal to the brain. Jesus makes this distinction, similar to Buddha, of there being the inner and outer man; introspection versus extroversion portals to the brain. The  outer man wants to look good, to be seen by others for his feedback. The inner man tries to feel good about themselves; self generated.

The human brain is the most advance and complicated computer on earth. It has a natural operating system, as well as firmware which define our instincts and human nature. Religion is more about a software approach to this natural computer, whereas atheism is more about a hardware approach, that is less abstract and more tangible to the senses. Introspection is needed to discover the firmware coding and to learn how to program. Whereas extroversion is needed to do a similar thing, but with hardware tweaks like medicine. Both can be useful, so they are complementary. The witch doctor uses nothing physical, that should make a difference, so his actions seems hogwash to the atheists. However, he is using props to stimulate the senses, to help the person make internal software changes, which can also lead to useful results.

As a more practical example, in computers we can attach a sound board to the mother board to improve the sound of the computer. The sound board is a physical thing you can see, touch, smell and taste. We can also improve the sound of the computer, with a software solution, which uses abstract code. Religion came before science and it learned to use what was already there, which is the human brain and self awareness of  internal coding and command lines. Prayers are commands lines, which mean more to programmers, than to hardware engineers.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Is 'time' fundamental?

« on: 09/12/2017 12:15:29 »

Regarding DNA, its origin is the inevitable consequence of carbon chemistry and the hydrogen bond, which are universal, and the particular temperature and mass of one planet being suitable for the self-replication of the molecule. It's entirely possible though very unlikely that other selfreplicating molecules have evolved on planets without liquid water, and both probable and rather more likely that something very similar to DNA has evolved on planets like ours.

The fact that casinos make a profit is entirely due to the existence of free will. In a wholly deterministic universe we would all bet on the right number every time and the joint would go bust in one evening. "Faites vos jeux" and "rien ne va plus" determines the sequence of events and hence the irreversibility of time.

Random is a concept that is more associated with manmade things, instead of natural things. Dice and cards are manmade things that are designed not to follow natural laws. These inventions were a type of free will thing. For example, a six sided dice is equally weighed on all sides, so the odds of each side appearing, are all equal. This is not how quantum states work in nature. In nature, each quantum state; side of the natural dice, will have a distinct energy level or energy equivalence. It cannot roll in a random way, like the artificial dice, since the natural dice is loaded, based on the free energy differences of each side. The hydrogen atom has distinct quantum energy levels, and will not roll between levels in a random way, like dice. The background energy makes these dice roll a specific way.

The cards in a deck of cards are all the same in terms of size, shape, weight, and heat of combustion. The difference, connected to randomness, is arbitrary based on the decorations decided on by man.

Random and statistic has been so useful in factories and for the casino sciences of manmade things, it has been wrongfully extrapolated to natural; blindman's prophesy. Before the age of enlightenment, its was assumed the universe was ruled by the whim of the gods. This is early random theory. This was put to rest with the dawn of modern science. It was reintroduced when man started playing god; atheism, and making the universe subject to his whims; artificial. 

Take a perfect cube of ivory. Drill holes into each side, so it looks like a dice. Since we have removed different amounts of material from each side, the dice is now loaded and weighs differently in each side. It will no longer follow the expected rules of dice. To make it follow those rules for the casino, we need or tool the dice so random can appear. We can do this by manufacturing a slightly loaded cube, which will become uniform, after we drill out the holes. Now the random universe can appear; manmade. It is willful illusion.

If you look at water and DNA, water is composed of Hydrogen and Oxygen. Hydrogen is the most abundant element of the universe, while oxygen is number three, behind number two helium. Oxygen is number three, because of its nuclear stability. In terms of chemical reactivity, oxygen and hydrogen are the two most reactive atoms, of the top three, making oxygen and hydrogen; abundance and reactivity, the chemical potential foundation of the universe.

It is not coincidence that life's energy bandwidth is within the range of oxygen and hydrogen. There are only a few species of bacteria that can use the entire bandwidth.This bandwidth was, itself, defined by the extrapolation of elementary particles. It is not random. The number four atom of the universe is carbon. In terms of molecules, the three most abundant molecules in the universe are H2, H2O and CO, which is the foundation of life.

Relative to water and organic life, what makes water special, beyond its prominent place in the universe, is connected to the water and oil affect; hydrogen bonding and van der Waals bonding. Water and oil do not mix. Instead these will phase separate into two layers. The value of this, in terms of carbon based life, is water and organics can induce each other into lower entropy. Water allows the organic system to go from random into order, driven by free energy.

Other solvents tend to dissolve organics better or become more dissolved into organics, meaning they maintain a more random chemistry for carbon, which is not natural to the needs of forming life, beyond the the manmade theory factory.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: Is 'time' fundamental?

« on: 30/11/2017 12:14:35 »

One source of confusion about time is we don't measure time in a way that parallels the nature of time. Time moves in one direction, to the future. However, we measure time using clocks that are based on a cycling phenomena. Clocks do not measure time in a way that parallels the observed behavior of time. It is like measuring the weight of an elephant with a meter stick. I suppose if we artificially define a convention and everyone plays along this may seem correct.

Cyclic clocks measure waves, which is more appropriate to energy, which is composed of a time plus a distance parameter; frequency and wavelength. One parameter is assumed by the other. We conceptually use something with the parameters of space-time, to measure time, leading to conceptual confusion. We take this tradition for granted. 

A concept, already in use, that better parallels the working nature of time is entropy. Like time, entropy spontaneously moves in one direction; increases, according to the second law. Time moves forward. This is a better conceptual fit than an energy/wave clock.

A possible measuring tool, which simulates time, would be the dead fish clock. With the dead fish clock, we start with a fresh fish from the market and place it on the counter. When it starts to stink, this is a basic unit of entropy time. Just as time cannot spontaneously reverse and repeat itself every twelve hours, like a wave based clock, the dead fish clock can only go to the future and cannot un-stink itself and start as fresh fish. This is where we need to begin so we can conceptualize the question of time being fundamental.

What is interesting about the dead fish clock is the rate of measured time propagation will be dependent on hot and cold. The fish will last much longer when refrigerated, than at room temperature. The time dilation; time until it stinks, will be energy dependent. This makes sense since entropy needs energy to increase.

If we start with a dust cloud, in space, and let it collapse into a star, space-time will contract. We go from higher gravitational energy potential to lower gravitational energy potential. Time slows because the dead fish clock becomes refrigerated due to less energy potential. If we want the stink time to speed up, all need at add energy much as expanding against gravity.

One of the earliest entropy clocks was the hour glass, where the sands of time, flowed. This entropy clock was not spontaneously cyclic, but needs a human to make it cycle. This led to need for labor saving wave/energy clocks. The sands of time continued to have an entropy connection, since the sand is shuffled, each time it is turned, never to perfectly repeat like a wave clock. Eventually, even that was taken away when we started to measure time as though it was space-time; wave.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: How do we determine if an emotion is authentic?

« on: 23/11/2017 13:59:40 »

One aspect of human willpower and free choice, is connected to being able to generate the same brain chemicals as natural emotions, thereby recreating emotions, willfully.

You are making the assumption the repeat of the same chemicals will produce the same effect every time, bad assumption. You have a lot of pretty words wound into a conclusion that is spurious at best.

Let me give an example. Members of the anti-Trump movement in the USA, will treat all Trump supporters the same way, as though everyone is a threatening clone. The reason for this one-sided emotional perception, that is not in touch with realty, is an underlying brain chemical loop that is repeating itself; fight and flight. The result is such people will react, emotionally, in a predictable and singular way, in spite of all the emotional nuances that stem from individual human beings. They have emotions, but it is not a genuine reflection to the environment.

A repeatable one sided emotional reaction, uses a chemical loop to self generate internal emotions. You will feel what you feel. This is projected outward, until your emotion appear to stem from the outside environment. The unconscious person will assume the other person is inducing these feeling, so it feels natural and justified. However, the loops starts inside their own brain. It is not reacting properly, to the real time stimulus.

As an analogy, I can touch your arm and you will feel it. It is also possible for you to have an internally induced muscle twitch, spasm, pain or itch. If you are not aware, these can be internally generated, you may think it happened by me touching you, while you were not looking. The feelings will be very similar. If one is not aware of the source, there can be confusion in terms of how you react to the other person.

Objectivity is connected to lower levels of emotional brain chemicals. Mr Spock had few emotions. His fictional brain was not generating much in the way of emotional chemicals. This is in contrast to the stronger internal linear chemical background, in the above example. With a lower level of brain chemicals, it is easier to be induced in real time, by the environment; react to people with genuine emotions.

The brain chemicals, behind emotions, flow into the cerebral spinal fluid, which circulates, triggers neurons, and eventually is removed. Genuine emotions come and go, using lower level concentrations. This allows quick and subtle adaption to stimulus. Emotions in his case can be a very useful orientating function. To achieve this natural state, one has to work on ego and superego induced loops, so these do not drown out the needs of emotional objectivity; genuine feelings, using projected background noise.

Looping can also be natural, when it stems from the personality firmware. For example, the firmware of romantic love; induces one to fall in love, can induce a very enjoyable brain chemical cocktail loop, than can linger for months. One will see the world though rose colored glasses. The world has not changed, only the internal chemical environment that colors our emotional perception. The beloved becomes perfect. Once the firmware stops the loop, we see things differently ,due to less love noise.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: How do we determine if an emotion is authentic?

« on: 22/11/2017 12:15:35 »

One aspect of human willpower and free choice, is connected to being able to generate the same brain chemicals as natural emotions, thereby recreating emotions, willfully. This can be done with either a hardware and/or a software approach. The most popular hardware approach is by using drugs; recreational and prescription.

The software approach is based on using the imagination, to recreate memories, which have been engrained, with the chosen emotional valence. For example, the person who dwells on their glory days, uses these memories to trigger the release of the parallel neurotransmitter concentrations, so they can relive the emotions, again and again. This may be boring to outside,  but the inducer gets a buzz.

The reason this is possible is during the writing of memory, to the cerebral matter, emotional tags are added by the core regions of the brain. Our memories have both form and emotional valence. If you can recreate a past experience through memory, where the emotions were strong, you can use the emotional tagging, to trick the brain into generating the same brain chemicals. These brain chemicals are natural, as is their affect. However,  they originate using willpower instead of through environmental or natural internal inductions.

A good example is an actor who plays a role. He/she will first research and then attempt to empathize with the life of the character. This is done to generate and organize their own personal memories, to take advantage of the emotional tagging. The brain chemicals, so generated, recreate the emotions and all the physical  parallels that accompany these emotions. The audience sees what appears to be a real person dealing with life's emotions.

There is a special case of this affect. This is where, through repetition, the induction of the emotions, over time, triggers the personalty firmware. This has the impact of creating a self standing loop, that may appear, to the untrained eye, to be due to a hardware problem.

For example, post traumatic stress is often connected to recreating the traumatic memories until the brain starts the loop; constant release of chemicals. Sometimes recreational drugs can help distract the mind and imagination, so the loop is not reinforced. Other drugs go right to the source of the chemical release. However, this has the problem of not addressing willpower and software control. This can be chemical company bonanza, since one may need to use the chemicals forever, at a premium price.

One thing I have noticed, is more and more people are using the software approach to emotions. This often occurs through social media, where people engage in self aggrandizing fantasy,  due to the immediate gratification and reactions one can get on the internet, extrapolated by emotional driven imagination. This is useful practice if done with science in mind. It can provide a portal by which one can use willpower to tweak the personality firmware.

General Science / Re: Why are mental health problems so common?

« on: 21/11/2017 12:04:21 »

One variable that explains many common mental health problems is the rate of time perception. Time flies when you are having fun, while time appears to drag when one is bored or stressed. One can look at the same reality, using various time filters, and perceive it in different ways. For example, in fight/flight, the clock appears to slow, because the mind has sped up. This speeding up of the mind, allows one to make split second decisions, that may be needed for survival.

Someone with ADHD has a mind that has sped up. The brain is idling too fast for the speed of the normal social environment. The drugs given attempt to slow the brain; stupor. Back in the old days, ADHD was treated with a spanking. This was effective, because a spanking works in the same time frame as ADHD; quick. The modern time out, is too slow because it is spread out the treatment over too much time. The time out is more effective if the mind is moving slower. The slowed mind can move larger blocks of data, while the faster mind can move smaller blocks but much faster. Each has its use.

A good analogy is when we speed up the brain, it becomes a microscope. With a microscope we tend to focus close and can lose track of the forest; bigger picture. When the brain is slowed, we have a telescope, that allows us to see the bigger picture. However, may not  be as effective with the details.

Many of the modern time problems are connected to the internet, social media, TV and marketing. These can create a fantasy reality centered on immediate gratification. The change of time perception is similar to watching a TV show that solves major problems in one hour. This might be possible if the brain was sped up. However, this may not jive with physical reality, which tends to move slower. When the brain is on a different time page, than realty, there can be conflict and stresses due to a reference problem.

A soldier who has post traumatic stress syndrome, was induced to speed up their brain, due to the environmental stresses of war. The soldier in war, has to live in the second, to stay alive. This faster idle speed, although good on the battle field, does not translate well into society, where things are designed to be at a more casual pace. It is not always easy to slow the brain, after it is has been induced to idle higher.

Religions tend to make one think in the longer term; eternity, instead of in the short term; immediate gratification. The loss of religion has removed a social mechanism for slowing the brain.

Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Re: Where does the geometry of a cell come from?

« on: 12/11/2017 14:44:34 »

I am going to change direction somewhat with an idea that came to me years ago, but reappeared last night. This is connected to unique aspects of DNA geometry. There appears to be an extrapolation of the genetic code that is not discussed. If you notice, in the figure below, there are two hydrogen bonding pairings between the fours bases; GC have three hydrogen bonds and AT has two hydrogen bonds. This is well known.

This is not the whole story, If we include water. G has 4 hydrogen bonded water and C has 2.  While Adenine has 3 hydrogen bonded water and T has 2.

This can be broken down further, with G having two hydrogen proton donor waters and two receiver hydrogen protons.   C has one donor and one receiver. Adenine has two donors and one receiver, while T has only two donors.

All the four bases are different in terms of the number plus donor/receiver orientation of the attached water. This means blended with the binary coding of the base pairings, is a quaternary type of water coding. This extra coding makes practical sense for several key applications. The first application is connected to improper based pairing. This may not necessarily change the water coding in a bad way. Or the water coding can be induced resulting in the needed improper base pairing used for further genetic change.

This water coding also makes sense, in areas of the DNA, where there are no coding genes, but only noncoding genes along with plenty of coding water. This offers a command platform for shape shifting on the DNA; active and deactivate coding genes, and allows the DNA stay in to touch with the cellular water.
