BUILDING (CON)SENSUS HAPPENS THOUGH PUBLIC SPENDING IN SCIENCE*GEOPOLITICS*SPIN*HISTORY & ECONOMICS. THIS BLOG FOLLOWS THE MONEY TO UNTANGLE THE MOTIVES OF THOSE SPECIAL INTERESTS THAT CRAFT CONVENTIONAL WISDOM SO THAT WE CAN GET A SENSE OF WHERE SOME AGENDA IS WASTING YOUR TIME, ENERGY & RESOURCES.
Did you know that there is no such thing as a gravitational force? Nothing is "at rest" And nothing "attracts" anything else as if it were a magnet, everything simply moves through on a straight line on a geodesic. Before this can be grasped you have to check out this super-cool video on frames of reference below, made in 1960. The sound takes a few seconds to kick in.
It can be expanded upon in thought experiment.
If if there was only a single particle in a universe with no fields, would it be still or moving? The answer is that it's not knowable or relevant. The one particle universe has no space. Movement t is not possible and time cannot pass because causality requires a sequence of particle events.
Add another particle. The two particle universe only allows the particles to move closer to each other or further apart. Even if you imagine the space around them in your mind to be 3 Dimensional it is irrelevant, that's just the way we think, only the space between the particles matters, other dimensions don't exist there. Time can at least now pass.
In a three particle universe all the complexities of our universe emerge as per the above video.
But we still need to add fields! And we still need to add a fabric framework for spacetime. What is it? It boils down to the path light takes travelling through spacetime, but there is a massive difference (so to speak) between trapping a moon into orbit and trapping a bean of light.
Hopefully you will be interested enough to watch the 5 series of clips below to resolve the finer points of this topic.
If you think you've thought this issue through, I put it to you that you probably haven't. If this topic interests you at all I suggest watching the whole clip resisting the urge to skip the parts you think you've paid mind to already.
My idea to make science as open source as media gets a great boost when you stumble accross great ideas from people on social media.
Thinking in absolutes on charge is a paradigm, there is no intrinsic need beyond labels to think of negative charge as fundamentally negative , we could call the charge we name "negative" positive, it's just a label and the field prevailing in the entire universe may even have universally frozen on these particular values somewhat arbitrarily, but it goes beyond that.
"Glenn Swart Just looked at your other blogs ref infinity. My theory is a colourless flat pixel lies beneath the curved edge of the event horizon of a black hole, the Zero Squared [-1+1][+1-1]. It may also solve the problem ref dark energy and dark matter.
Under conventional thinking, some-thing can't come from no-thing. But if no-thing is 100% of everything (all negative and positive charges cancelled out) and some-thing is less than 100% (some of both the positive and negative charges remain separate) it simply answers that problem. No-thing of the Zero Squared (100% of everything). It's there but undetectable because it hasn't separated and thus hasn't released any energy beyond its flat surface. Energy is released once the supersymmetry is lost (curvature/warping begins) and the simultaneous Big Bang AND Big Freeze occurs. If the Big Freeze doesn't occur neither can the Big Bang and visa versa. Fire and Ice. This allows for the Universe to both contract and expand at the SAME time. At least TWO open systems but mutually closed into each other. Both stiring into each other and thus entropy doesn't occur. This solves Newton's problem of a close system suffering entropy. Because the Universe is a 'virtual' closed system consisting of two open one's. This is my theory. Quite radical but it works. Not saying it's right but equally it isn't wrong too."
"And just to add, I should have cited Cardot instead of Newton ref Entropy"
For PDF electronic copies of thousands of interesting Federal Government documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Fascinating historical documents, reports on items in the news, oddities and fun stuff and government bloopers, they're all here. Think of browsing this site as rummaging through the Government's Attic -- hence their name. "Our motto: Videre licet."
I'm offering up these resources as one potentially of the most liberating experiences a person can go through. Few people engage with and debate issues as widely on all corners of the Internet as I do, and since I've had the same discussions over and over, I've also heard the counterpoints over and over, so I've been able to identify a type of sheparding of thought, "groupthink" if you will, and very often it manifests in people who are actuality free thinkers.
How can this be? These people, for the most part use the Internet, many have grown up with it. We trust it because it never lies about sports scores, song lyrics or how fat Kim Kardashians ass is these days. But there is one bottleneck I've identified as the source of all the misplaced trust that is associated with this freedom of information when it comes to manufacturing consent in areas where powerful political and economic interests have a stake. So-called "fluid" facts. The type of thing you don't need to lie outright about but can spin to controll a narrative.
It's Google. It's even become synonymous for "search" to just "Google it" I know that Facebook and YouTube and Twitter and Instagram have their issues, but in my experience all of these still offer diversity experience to some extent, whereas Google, particularly in the last few years, has been marshaling a sanitized and monolithic narrative to point where I've now noticed that particular groupthink signature manifesting itself it the patterns and progressions of rational in discussion and debate in important issues.
I can't tell you how insidious this is and how much harm it could potentially do. It goes beyond affecting the outcome of elections etc, it speaks to affecting who we are as a species. Imagine a nation of zombies believing itself a society of enlightened free thinkers? It's evident very much in the polarization of the left/right Partisan divide happening now in society. Google is the chief architect of "Divide & Conquer, Divide & Rule" In the world today.
Before implementing solutions download Tor Browser for the dark web and alleged anonymity although there is evidence that there are still backdoors to intelligence agencies and even funding, but only if you are a big time kingpin in a crime syndicate. You will at least have firewall tools and escape advertising profiling. https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Or Orford in the Google Play Store or Apples Tor equivalent.
SOLUTIONS:
Don't abandon Google altogether, (I still check out CNN and GOOGLE to keep a sense of what I'm required to think, and what many may think. It helps me understand why.
An alternative is Start Page which is enhanced by Google, giving the same sanitized results but with your privacy completely protected.
https://www.startpage.com
Don't bother with Bing etc, they aren't much better than Google in sanitized quotient, but the search quality is very advertising centered which also has shades of big brother. Duck duck go is marginally better.
Good Gopher is much better, it has two filters, one for Independent Media and another for Academia. I would like to add that "academia" is by no means any guarantee. Science is not a vote and even scientific consensus is regularly overturned.
https://www.goodgopher.com
One site that gives a nice blend of both mainstream and independent results that also respects privacy is SearX. It's a decent search engine.
https://searx.me
On the cutting edge is an innovative peer to peer decentralized engine called YaCy it's a great portal worth checking out.

If you ready to make the jump and leave https altogether then do so. I think a revolution is coming so get the jump on things and check out the ipfs protocol. I'll even give you an https starting point.

I'll leave you with one last thought in case you feel the algorithm is simply a commerce tool, or that it's not worth getting to bothered about, you're sure it's quite benign, check out the clip below. Did you know Google AI is actively complicit in drone strikes?
