In Paris - URBAN BEES FLOURISH

Every once in awhile BS runs into a good sensible story getting coverage - this is an example.

A Puzzling Collapse of Earth's Upper Atmosphere

Yep; a NASA link to begin your day today - oh, notice on these graphs that are presented in this Barf Stew link that the `highs' keep getting less and the `lows' seem to get deeper. As the link says:"Something is going on that we do not understand," - http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/15jul_thermosphere/ - makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing that NASA is stumped, right?

And, speaking of collapse - Historian warns of sudden collapse of American ‘empire’ - http://www.aspendailynews.com/print/141349 - Stewed. BS does Politics.

And if that collapses - if TSHTF - What is Money When the System Collapses? - http://www.shtfplan.com/emergency-preparedness/what-is-money-when-the-system-collapses_12292009 -- From the link: - In disaster situations, the value of money as we know it now changes, especially if we are dealing with a hyperinflationary collapse of the system’s core currency. This article discusses money as a commodity in an event where the traditional currency (US Dollar) is no longer valuable.

In a collapse of the system, there will be multiple phases, with the first phase being the “crunch”, as discussed in James Rawles‘ book Patriots. The crunch is the period of time directly preceding a collapse and the collapse itself.

Traditional Currency
Initially, the traditional currency system will maintain some value, though it may be rapidly depreciating in buying power. For those with physical, non-precious metal denominated currency on hand (paper dollars, non-silver coins), spending it as rapidly as possible is the best approach.
It is during the crunch that ATM machines around the country will run out of currency as people aware of the rapidly devaluing dollar will be attempting to withdraw as much money as possible. This immediate increase in money supply, coupled with the population’s general knowledge of the currency depreciation in progress, will lead to instant price increases for goods, especially essential goods.
If your physical cash has not been converted into tangible assets, this would be the time to do so. Acquiring as much food, fuel, clothing and toiletry items as possible would be the ideal way to spend remaining cash before it completely collapses to zero, as it did in the Weimar inflation in 1930’s Germany, or Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation in recent years.Barf 00RR Stew?

 this book covers financial collapse too.

Now, the link above is about Hyperinflation - so is this one - Hyperinflationary Depression - No Way of Avoiding Financial Armageddon -  http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/hyperinflationary-depression-no-way-of-avoiding-financial-armageddon_12152009   -  Let us not forget that the US Treasury man (Paulson) - said during the breakdown in Sept. 2008 that `there may not be money in the ATM's on Monday' (in an effort to promote the bank bailout). Again, Barf or Stew?


BTW, that portable solar system I have on the sidebar might be real important too if TSHTF.

Blossom Goodchild's Latest Channeling

Yes, the lady that predicted that Alien Contact would happen on Oct. 14th, 2008 - hasn't went away. Indeed, just yesterday, another of her `channelings' hit the internet. (My take on Blossom was this in 2008 - http://theheavystuff.com/?p=85 The Federation Of Light, Prophet Yahweh, Used Car Lots, And, The 72 Hour Guarantee, and http://ufodisclosurecountdownclock.blogspot.com/2008/10/oct-14th-would-peaceful-aliens-pick.html ) -- here's some highlights of what Blossom `received' I assume - very recently:
We welcome you into this communication with us. We correspond with you in this way , yet we would say that there are many other interactive measures that we are taking with many in order to resume connections with those upon your planet. Your planet ... that not so long ago ... not as long as those of you upon it imagine at least ... was a thriving community of pleasure and abundant LOVE. Collect your thoughts for a moment and take yourselves back to a place where your rivers were pure crystal water , where your oceans were gleaming with life, ......We would like to express to you our thanks. We would care to add that we continue to evaluate all that is being done by you on your planet and the difference it is making even though you may not realise it in its fullness. But you are doing what you came to do. You are BEING who you are ... simply by breathing. And with each intake and outtake of that breath ... you are opening yourselves up to the New World ... to the New Way of Being ... for with each breath you are a step closer to what is to come.

We KNOW Blossom of your heart's feeling to greet us in your skies. It sometimes feels to you like an ongoing fairy story does it not?.....And yet we have never gone away and yes we understand what you are FEELING. That is why so much excitement builds as we draw ever closer to are reunion. It would be pointless would it not for us to be so close to you and then simply disappear? We are with you for a purpose. As we have said before , as we have promised, we will fulfil our mission and our mission is to bring you into the NEW WORLD . Once the connection is renewed with those upon your earth, once we reconnect and allow friendships to be rekindled, then shall we always be in your sights. These are times that we have all been waiting for.

As a marker of how vivid such visions can seem, almost a third of the people reported that they spoke in response to their experiences. In other words, these weren’t just peripheral illusions: they could evoke the very essence of the deceased.

Why Murdered Grandfather `Time Paradox' Being Solved - Doesn't Matter

Just two days ago here at Barf Stew - I blasted the idea of Time Travelers - http://barfstew.blogspot.com/2010/07/time-travel-is-impossible.html presenting many reasons why it was impossible. Not only that I didn't even use the ONE REASON the simple thinkers always trot out - the one that says - IF you could go back in time you could end up killing off your ancestry (ie:killing your father, or grandfather - why is it never your mother?) and therefore making one's own existence impossible to occur.

Well, it seems the mathematicians have finally, possibly, figured out a way for their `time equations' to filter actions like that out of the equations. Time travel theory avoids grandfather paradox - http://www.physorg.com/news198948917.html (my thanks to Bruce Duensing for sending me this link yesterday). And, if you go to the link - you can see the equations and hear the convoluted logic employed to justify the mathematical possibility.

But, I am here to say this - IT DOESN'T MATTER - that math provides such a scenario. And, the reason is tangled up in two of the reasons I presented two days ago: 1) we live on a planet 2) actualization provides realness as Phenomenology overrides `math potentials'. ---------- Let me explain the best I can.

First, let me say that IF we didn't live ON a planet - that I'd probably be willing to accept `math answers' to the time-traveler saga - but we do live on a planet. OUR space (body) is directly tied to this other object - our planet. But, if it didn't - if somehow we were a `freely occurring space' (maybe like we will be AFTER we are DEAD) - with NO TIES to outside phenomena (the entire motion of our galaxy in our particular location) - then, and only then, perhaps `time' wouldn't matter.

But, Phenomenology provides a basis for actualization of space - a determinism to spaces - turning our local reality for a singular observer (like a human) into a `not-able-to-not-be' AS the moment of NOW. Indeed, EVERY actualized space-moment is `not-able-to-not-be'. And that `not-able-to-not-be' is what `provides realness' to our experience; and to even the `sperm' of  our grandfathers.

We simply - CAN'T GO BACK - to realness. Realness IS ONLY an attribute of the NOW; of the `not-able-to-not-be' for the observer-experiencer. The not-able-to-not-be's of the past EXISTED but DO NOT EXIST (to return to). `Closed time-like curves' - do not reverse the Earth's motion in some sort of `running the film backwards'. Earth's motion is in a `frame of reference' to `other spaces' and ONLY has NOW as it's attribute.

The `Earth', and placement of that Earth to our grandfather, is not only NOT HERE - it is NOT NOW. That here and that now - RAN OFF the structure of phenomenology as it provided `realness' to existence. And, the fact that mathematicians can use equations to show that the past has/had areas that prohibit CHANGING THE REAL is hardly surprising to a Phenomenologist as myself - as the actualized, determined, past WAS the real.

So, I will end today's post the same way I ended the post two days ago - It is good that the past can't be changed - because - IF it could - it wouldn't have been real. And, since REAL is only an attribute of NOW - the fact that mathematicians have solved the Grandfather Paradox - Doesn't Matter.

Time Travel Is Impossible

(Link to picture - http://worldsstrongestlibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/time_travel.jpg)

Time Travel - the subject so esoteric - it is every science and science fiction readers -  favorite subject. And, as Barf Stew readers know, in `time travel' - characters can be thrust `forward in time' (to our Jetson's future) - `backward in time' (historical or ancient Earth; but always to a REAL reality that was `happening then') - or - even to `parallel times' of realities that `could' have happened in the past, present, or future. The reality where there is Freewill. The reality where one can change history - to not have Lincoln at the theater that night - to change Kennedy's plans on Nov. 22nd. - you get the point.

Indeed, many people like to believe that `time travelers from our future' may be the `answer' to UFO's and any number of `wo-wo' subjects. And, like many esoteric subjects, the ideas that surround `time travel', have just the right science foundation of `relativity' to give everyone a license to stand on for their conjectures.

Meaning, because Einstein was able to convey to the public - that a `spaceman' could leave in a ship going nearly the speed of light and return to Earth in what would seem to be - say 8 Earth Years to the `astronaut', could `return' to Earth and find all his relatives dead for decades to centuries. It is the common `time traveler' that we all have grown up knowing is true.

That `spaceman' `traveled' into the `future'. And, indeed, the spaceman did travel `around' the fabric of space-time in a manner that `for him' - gave him a presence in a here-now time-cone that would have been unthinkable at his birth. So, in that way - time travel is possible - in theory.

In theory. Because, of course, in the intervening period while the spaceman was traveling == the Earth could have blown up. There is NO guarantee that the local-space of a location to `return to' will ---- be there for return. (Well, the space itself would be there but it may not be on the surface of a planet.)

But, let's not deal with that messy stuff.

But, you see the problem, right? Any `future' that we are to `go to' - needs to be a location on a planet - preferably our planet. Not only that - preferably in a temperate zone on the planet, preferably on land, preferably in a place with mobility (not a prison), preferably in places we are familiar with (our hometown) and ideally in a specific location (our home or future home).

Let's say we only wanted to go 20 minutes into the past or future.

Now, we know that the `specific location' (our room) will be on a rotating planet - so factor that in. On a planet that is moving around a star (our sun). Whose's star is moving around a galaxy (milky way) - and whose's galaxy is - itself - moving in a `direction' (with other galaxies close to it). Oh, btw, make sure to factor EACH of these effects as meaning factoring more movement (space) than the previous one. (Earth's rotation is slower than the Earth's movement around the sun, etc.).

So, getting to THIS ROOM, just 15 minutes before - or in the future - is going to take a `projection' that is perhaps `millions of miles' - from our `current' location. And, not only that, if we are lucky enough to get the general area - everything has to be perfect for us to land in our ROOM. Seems to be getting a little cumbersome, right?

We haven't even begun.

One of the best reasons why Time Travel Is Impossible is the GREAT article in the archives of The Anomalist. http://www.anomalist.com/afiles/timetravel.html from the link:

this TOP LEVEL HEAVY link that will enable you for ONCE and for all to understand WHY time-travel is impossible as described in the movies. Indeed; this link goes way way beyond that -- this link tells what is going on at the cellular level of humans --- how every electron we have is replaced over time by other electrons. How cells are made perhaps of the smoke of your uncles pipe from 2 years ago. THAT is how weird `life' is at the time-space level of cells.

The above link suggests to me that EVEN if you were able to account for the exact location in the future to travel to - with the `guarantees' above (still a Earth to land upon) - how would you arrive from NOW to the next instant (years in the future) without acquiring your uncles pipe smoke for your body cells that will have replaced those electrons? Would the `time traveler' even be YOU?

But, let's not deal with that messy stuff. That Barf Stew.

Indeed, time travel makes the parts of the `paranormal' run; - ghosts from the past, Guru's from our future, Or Mystic Wisdoms that are channeled from today's (the current) always ascended Masters. It's almost irresistible evidently. And, if it isn't `time travelers' it's interdimensional beings. (That are sharing our space - right here and right now.)

For example, recently there was an internet sensation of a `time traveler' - a `too hip dresser' in an old-time picture.

(picture link - http://forgetomori.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ABYC000a00fa_thumb.jpg)

And, obviously, this hipster - would have went from our current into the past - instead of our current, into our future (which science allows with speed near the speed of light - however science doesn't allow travel into the past at any speed). But, as you know, if that was possible - we'd have seen  many pictures over the last 175 years that would have `travelers' embedded in them. (But, remember, that `space', with that Earth, isn't HERE at all - that Earth would have been perhaps several light years from here - and would have had to have been traveled for that picture in a moment.)

But, at least the past EXISTED (as opposed to the future) so, it just seems more accessible. Even if equally impossible. That said, it hasn't prevented links like this - http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-2912-Seattle-Exopolitics-Examiner~y2010m5d1-Why-is-Hawking-affirming-time-travel-theory-and-appearing-ignorant-of-DARPA-secret-time-travel which purports to have a picture of a current living man in an old photo from 1863 (this is vital to the proof this man offers of government cover-ups of ufo's btw).

How loud can you say - Barf Stew?

However, there does exist some reasonable blog posts about time travelers too - such as - http://highstrangeness.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-time-travel-possible-analysis-by.html or Hyperluminal Spaceship, Tachyons and Time Travel - http://weirdsciences.net/2010/06/27/hyperluminal-spaceship-tachyons-and-time-travel/ .

But, even these `possibilities' normally call for harnessing - the energy of a solar system or sun or black hole. AND, normally arent' taking YOU to the past or future - but to a distant NOW somewhere.

And, isn't it GOOD that the past can't be changed? Because IF the past could be changed - would it have EVEN BEEN REAL? And, finally, if you remember the phrase from the late 1960's of Be Here Now - I suggest my blog called The Heavy Stuff - where I just published my latest post `Be Here Nowish'. http://theheavystuff.com/?p=135
