The Light Barrier

Sometime in the next 100 years, aeronautical engineers will face the challenge of the light barrier in much the same way they did the sound barrier in the 50s.

To get there, it seems likely, engineers will have to make hands on trials and demonstrate errors in cosmological conjecture. Much of the conjecture today resembles the imbedded philosophical beliefs of the past, steeped in personality and mathematical certainty. It is just when we are the most certain, history demonstrates that we know the least. Newtonian physics and the nature of matter are good examples. The particle nature of gravity and the reconciliation of quantum mechanics with relativity may be next, but after that comes dimensions and the immutable speed of light.

A German Physicist, Burkhard Heim (1925-2001) proposed not only a unified theory but a scheme for penetrating hyperspace. His was an interesting story, leading to the kind of obscurity that history seems to favor. Heim’s association with Lorentz, Heisenberg and the Plank Institute lend credibility to his unified theory, as did the unique agreement of his equations to experimental particle behavior. His work was not published in English, nor was it properly peer reviewed. The lost works of Heim bubble to the surface in 2005 in the prize winning paper presented at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) in the category of nuclear and future flight.

Crossing the light barrier will be the most exciting single challenge for aviation engineers in years to come.

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.

Inflation

The Fed containing inflation with intrest rates to the point of unemployment, is like treating pneumonia with blood letting. Try treating inflation by reducing the number of government employees. With weekly layoffs, the Fed could adjust the numbers of layoffs from week to week to achieve what higher interest rates could not. Newly ununemployed would be less willing to pay inflated prices. The Fed could thus achieve an end to inflation, and lower interst rates as well. A lower ratio of government employees versus productive employees in the private sector could be a plus as well.

Utopia

The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.
