EBBG - 0 views

  • "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."
  • The original conference was held at the Hotel de Bilderberg, near Arnhem in the Netherlands, from 29 to 31 May 1954. It was initiated by several people, including Polish politicians Józef Retinger and Andrew Nielsen, concerned about the growth of anti-Americanism in Western Europe, who proposed an international conference at which leaders from European countries and the United States would be brought together with the aim of promoting Atlanticism – better understanding between the cultures of the United States and Western Europe to foster cooperation on political, economic, and defense issues.[3]

Researchers produce first complete computer model of an organism - 0 views

  • Researchers produce first complete computer model of an organism July 20, 2012 By Max McClure
  • (Phys.org) -- In a breakthrough effort for computational biology, the world's first complete computer model of an organism has been completed, Stanford researchers reported in the journal Cell.
  • team led by Stanford bioengineering Professor Markus Covert used data from more than 900 scientific papers to account for every molecular interaction that takes place in the life cycle of Mycoplasma genitalium – the world's smallest free-living bacterium.

Heliophysics nugget: Riding the plasma wave - 0 views

  • Throughout the universe more than 99 percent of matter looks nothing like what's on Earth.
  • This material that pervades the universe, making up the stars and our sun, and also – far less densely, of course – the vast interstellar spaces in between, is called plasma. Plasmas are similar to gases, and indeed are made of familiar stuff such as hydrogen, helium, and even heavier elements like iron, but each particle carries electrical charge and the particles tend to move together as they do in a fluid.
  • "Which particles are moving, what is the source of energy for the motion, how does a moving wave interact with the particles themselves, do the wave fields rotate to the right or to the left – all of these get classified," says Lynn Wilson who is a space plasma physicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.

      Ce tableau, donne le nombre de milliers de barils par jour qui sont importés par les US. En ordre décroissant nous voyons les pays producteurs et les quantités quotidiennes qu'elles exportent vers le marché américain.
  • Monthly data on the origins of crude oil imports in June 2013 has been released and it shows that two countries exported more than 1 million barrels per day to the United States
  • Canada remained the largest exporter of total petroleum in June; exporting 2,864 thousand barrels per day to the United States. The second largest exporter of total petroleum was Saudi Arabia with 1,431 thousand barrels per day.

  • Planck Units
  • Planck units are largely based upon three fundamental units, h, G, and c.
  • The gravitational constant is given the symbol "G".   It is a measured value used in the force equation for gravity (see below). F = Gm1m2 / r2 The m units are masses of two bodies which are separated by a distance r.   By rearranging the equation, we have G (see below). G = Fr2 / m1m2 The gravitational force, F, was measured between two masses to arrive at G.   At various times, the laboratory equipment and methods were improved to arrive at more accurate values for G.   The physics texts were not usually updated for the new values because (1) the changes were not great enough to justify the added expense to the texts, and (2) the changes were happening frequently enough to make each text obsolete before it arrived in the hands of students.   Consequently, there are numerous variations of G to be found, but the differences between them are slight. There are many systems of weights and measures used in physics.   Fundamental constants such as G often have two values according to the measuring system used.   When two such units are mixed to arrive at subsidiary units such as the planck length, the result is a completely erroneous value along with units of measure which do not apply.   Consequently, it is important to convert the various units of the fundamental constants used to the same system of units.   In may instances of late, this has not been done. Finally, there is human error involved in copying from an old text to create a new next.   This means that it is wise to check various texts to see if they all agree (they usually don't), and decide what is correct and what is not correct.   For G, the following was discovered.

  • The Craziest Reason Why A Company Would Boost Its Dividend
  • Arguments for dividend growth typically emphasize 1) strong balance sheets and 2) track records of dividend growth.
  • how the senior management teams of the companies they are analyzing are variably compensated, as those with restricted stock and not options are much more likely to increase dividends. The principle? People rarely intentionally damage their own net worth. Absolutely fascinating.

Chaos - 0 views

  • In the framework of complex dynamical systems we can view the world at the beginning of this century as loosely connected with clusters of highly complex trouble spots and the number of people with a global perspective and fast connections was very small. Today we have multiple systems of global information exchange together with impressive data and information systems accessible for a rapidly growing number of people. We claim that the a global computer network will have a much more dramatic impact on global issues than other networks of global communication systems like television or telephone. In the first case we obtain many features that we can associate with the development of biological brains whereas in the two latter cases many essential features are missing. The most relevant one is the creation of the analog of cell assemblies.

Scientists suggest spacetime has no time dimension - 0 views

  • Scientists propose that clocks measure the numerical order of material change in space, where space is a fundamental entity; time itself is not a fundamental physical entity.
  • They propose to replace these concepts of time with a view that corresponds more accurately to the physical world: time as a measure of the numerical order of change.
  • No time dimension

  • “Einstein said, ‘Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it,’”
  • “Newton theory on absolute time is not falsifiable, you cannot prove it or disprove it, you have to believe in it,” Sorli said. “The theory of time as the fourth dimension of space is falsifiable and in our last article we prove there are strong indications that it might be wrong. On the basis of experimental data, time is what we measure with clocks: with clocks we measure the numerical order of material change, i.e., motion in space.”
