If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you. -
Calvin Coolidge | ” |
Silent Cal is among my favorite
presidents because of that laid-back attitude. Due to exigencies
of today's politics, it's a nearly impossible leadership style to
emulate. The media, for example, adored Jimmy Carter for
micro managing every aspect of government (even scheduling White House
tennis court use), while portraying his successor Ronald Reagan
as a lazy gooftard, for his sang-froid during real crisis. Carter
created mountains and mountains of trouble; Reagan rid us of
nearly all.
But wait, this is not just another opportunity for me to
boorishly proclaim that liberal democrats are meddling assholes who,
more often than not, create problems where none existed, and ignore
real ones through cowardly ineptitude. No, this is a time for
science to do that.
“ | Forget about the threat that mankind poses to the Earth: our activities may be shortening the life of the universe too.
The startling claim is made by a pair of American cosmologists
investigating the consequences for the cosmos of quantum theory, the
most successful theory we have. Over the past few years, cosmologists
have taken this powerful theory of what happens at the level of
subatomic particles and tried to extend it to understand the universe,
since it began in the subatomic realm during the Big Bang.
Cosmologists claim by observing dark energy the universe has been nudged closer to its death
But there is an odd feature of the theory that philosophers and
scientists still argue about. In a nutshell, the theory suggests that
we change things simply by looking at them and theorists have puzzled
over the implications for years.
They often illustrate their concerns about what the theory means with
mind-boggling experiments, notably Schrodinger's cat in which, thanks
to a fancy experimental set up, the moggy is both alive and dead until
someone decides to look, when it either carries on living, or dies.
That is, by one interpretation (by another, the universe splits into
two, one with a live cat and one with a dead one.) - [ Mankind 'shortening the universe's life']

While
this theory focuses on the effect astronomer's "thoughts" may have, the
same physical law must also apply to other creations - like the "mad
caused" environmetal crisis. It's an accepted fact of life that,
while not all busy-body, pessimistic, envious, spineless
prevaricators are democrats, all democrats are all of that, and worse.
Democrats love discord, class envy, and continued crisis, so they
persistently cause them to be created. Every problem we have in
this great nation of people is created by their existence.
EVERY! But wait, there's a solution.
“ | But the bad is that quantum theory says that whenever we observe or measure something, we could stop it decaying due what is what is called the "quantum Zeno effect," which suggests that if
an "observer" makes repeated, quick observations of a microscopic
object undergoing change, the object can stop changing - just as a
watched kettle never boils.
