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.

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.

Election 2024

The November 2024 election presents a significant challenge, transcending the traditional Democrat versus Republican divide. This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

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%.
