Mileva And Certainty
Mileva loved him more than the Stars,
more than Time itself.
They both were physics majors
and dreamers who
wanted to take Newton
to new ground.
Both wanted Certainty:
he had his Cosmological Constant
and tried to prove that God does
not throw dice-
that the Universe was orderly.
She wanted Certainty, too,
and some say showed him how
and this is reflected in some of the ideas
which made him famous.
He got Quantum Physics
and The Theory of Uncertainty;
both then
had only Probabilities.
He divorced her
promising
his Nobel Prize money
and he spun away
into Relativity and Gravity;
both lost threads in the fabric
of Space and Time.
Both lost Certainty,
as we all now have,
we have now
only
Probabilities
and Relativities.

If you forsake a certainty and depend on an uncertainty, you will lose both the certainty and the uncertainty.
Warm Evening
A warm, smoky evening walked and ran,
Knowing has a certainty, of resentment.
I had thought of significant ideas and moments,
Inner thoughts destroyed me afterwards.
The new number of probabilities increased,
Inserting the longing of the soul,
The shortest way to home was through it,
It was the soul that mattered for the moon and stars.

Probability is expectation founded upon partial knowledge. A perfect acquaintance with all the circumstances affecting the occurrence of an event would change expectation into certainty, and leave nether room nor demand for a theory of probabilities.

Law[Earthing On Fire]
I dont want knowledge, I want certainty
I dont want knowledge, I want certainty
I dont want knowledge, I want certainty
In the street a man shouts out loud
A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
I dont want knowledge, I want certainty
I dont want knowledge, I want certainty
In a house a man drops dead
As he hits the floor he sighs
What a morning
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire (I dont want knowledge, I want certainty)
Earthlings on fire (I dont want knowledge, I want certainty)

Einstein and Society
Much of what Einstein had to say
remains unexplained
100 years later,
in terms of impact his ideas have on society.
First, we need to comprehend
he sought
to explain everything.
We know the familiar E=mc2;
what does it really mean?
Astounding at the time
but now common place;
the idea states that energy and matter interrelate;
and matter can be changed to energy and vice versa.
What's not understood well
by many is
that matter
in being transformed to energy
has a exponential multiplier.
For example a ball dropped from two feet
lands with 10 times the force of a ball
dropped from one foot.
Why?
Dense Uranium 235 has many many electrons
and matter released into energy has a mulitiplier effect
with interactive transmutation
and in the end
gives us the Atomic Bomb
which of course
draws us one step nearer the end.
But note,
the other little understood fact here-;
An atomic explosion is not matter expanding
but space itself multiplying!
Not stretching-growing;
New Space!
But how is this?
Space, hence, time is malleable.
Einstein Two;
If space itself expands then what about light?
This is where Einstein started.
What is the nature of light?
Newton said the speed of light can not be exceeded..
Einstein says yes it can. And we have black holes where light itself
is not only bent but extinguished
and objects do indeed exceed light speed.
More: Light and the photons light is composed of,
can be in two,
perhaps three places
at the same time.
astoundingly
the same is true too
for all matter.
Stop your head from spinning, sit back down
and ask how is this possible?
More; We use this too in everyday life, .
this given us by Einstein and quantum physics;
computers are quantum devices
based on electrons existing as 1's and 0's
off and on;
but, poorly understood
is that each positive electron 'knows'
whether its negative counterpart is off
or on.
What?
That is correct. Not only true for your computer,
but all electrons in All Of The Universe
knows whether its counter part
has switched signs
and will go
positive if it's counterpart goes negative.
This is happening right now
in this computer and
IN ALL THE
UNIVERSE.
Think of a magnet and iron shavings.
Now Space, Time and Electrons all exist in some medium,
which we Dark Energy and Dark Matter
which we now understand comprizes 90% of the universe
about which we know little or nothing.
This other Dark Universe
interracts with our universe everyday.
We can see the effects
on our planets and galaxies.
This is proven.
So what is going on here?
Enter Einsteins Theory of Gravity
Newton always said that the apple falls from the tree and hits the ground
because of gravity.
The earth pulls the apple down.
Not true.
The apple is not falling.
It is being pushed.
By Space itself.
The Sun is not pulling on Earth
The Sun is displacing Space
around the earth
causing it to fall toward the Sun
propelled by that same displaced space.
The train coming toward us is not being propelled,
the train engine moves through space displacing space
and space itself bends
pulling the train along.
The plane flies because space, not air, lifts it.
So space itself multiples and bends, so does time;
that is why I can leave earth
return years later
younger than when I left.
Time itself has been altered
and, because when I move though space
time is altered too.
Get another cup of tea
and come back, there's more.
Now;
If all this is true of gravity
explain
how can it be
that I pick up a pencil
and defy the full pull of Earth's gravity
Gravity must be very weak if this is so easy..
Am I stronger than Earth?
Patience: Here is Einstein's view:
If space is malleable and electrons know
and communicate with their kin
our universe therefore must not be round but flat and super thin.
For example, the universe of the fish, is separated by a super thin
surface, upon which a row boat floats;
these two different universes, occupy the same space,
and, one at least one
is is totally unaware of the other.
The row-boater is intelligent, and, of course is aware of the fish.
But the fish are not.
In the larger universe we are the fish.
Other universes exist in the same time and space
separated by super thin membranes.
Thus is born Membrane Theory, Son of Quantum Physics.
If this is all true,
then multiple universes perhaps millions can all exist
simultaneously.
Multiples of me and you, like our electrons exist
close by among Membrane Universes floating nearby.
That is why I can pick up the pencil
because the gravity here in my room-
in my universe-is being counteracted by gravity
from one nearby universe occupying the same space and time.
If, every so often, Membrane Universes collide
this is the Big Bang we all know so well.
That is how, likely,
our Universe began.
But how to prove these?
Most of this has already been proven, experimentally.
A Big Collider (Hayden) seeking final proof in all this
is being built in Switzerland.
It will offer proof
by speeding up photons to near light speeds,
letting them collide;
if one disappears from this universe
then it has gone
to the other universe close by;
or we can get unexpected results
and our universe is destroyed
and a black hole results
and eats us all alive.
Stay tuned.
Collision expected sometime in 2009.
But you know
if all of this is true,
then maybe there are ghosts
living near by too.
and please don't mention
UFO's.

Death is a certainty;
But ‘when’ and ‘how’

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Awareness
Bible code predicts all possible futures in
accordance with Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle - not only one, but a myriad
possible futures are waiting ahead
Quantum physics describe various possible
outcomes and how likely each is; defining a
being outside the system is too limiting, think
of intelligent, loving energy
Manifesting a universe and living things while
continuing beyond our three dimensional world,
transcending space and time by encoding a text
to illustrate quantum physics applied
Magnetic, electric energy brings forth individuals
as conscious tools to operate within reality where
everything possesses a form of awareness - from
the primitive will to exist
Fighting against non-being - to the amazing
diversity of thinking, feeling, seeking, dreaming
human beings…

Nicolson,1997 -

Now I preach not to do, what I did
I wanted money
I got it
I wasted it
I lost it
I wanted education,
I got it
I wanted more of it
But did not work hard for it
I could not get it
I wanted love from everybody
I got it
I lived with hate
Nobody loved me
I wanted a good healthy body
I got it
I did not care for my health
I became sick
Everybody listened to me
I did not listen to any body
Nobody bothered
What I said
I kept complaining
Nobody listened
I am a lonely, sick, broken man
Wiser after the event
I know what to do
Now I preach not to do
What I did
To do, what I did not do

I Wanted Everything
I heard about the Easter bunny
Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy
There was no Mom or Daddy
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I had the world on my shoulder
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it
Some kind of employment
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
All day working on a truck
Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary
No tip for the delivery
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
There's no success for me
Involved in a robbery
There's money in the supermarket
And I'm goin' after it
I wanted everything.

Just To See You Smile
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from bein made of gold
I dont know how that I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leavin amarillo
To take that new job in tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I cant forget the way you looked at me
Chorus:
Just to see you smile
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cuz leavin didnt hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance Id lie again
(repeat chorus)
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile

Einsein's Magic
If I can by the weight of my mind
affect the frequencies between
you and I
and mere proximity
can gravitationally
bend light and the space between
you and I
approaching
each with smooth intents
then we each
exhibit Einstein.
If space and time bend
due to our mental fields
and our mutual gravities
then what we all suspect
was proven true
by the theory of general relativity.
Thus, everything by extension
is indeed connected to everything
because a ripple in the time-space
continuum passes all along the fabric
to it's furtherest corners.
But what is practicable from all of this;
what meanings can we draw?
Well, one is the possibility that if
we find a way to amplify the effect
upon the fabric from our individual
effects upon it-
our individual signatures so to speak-
we have just defined
the very definition of Magic.
To be clear:
If gravity
alters time and space
then the apple does not fall to the ground
the apple is pulled down by the time and space
surrounding it which get altered by the gravity of objects.
Humm, look at it this way:
Take a bed-sheet, put a marble in the middle
shift the bed-sheet and the marble moves because
you have altered the fabric of time space which the
bed-sheet represents.
Now think further:
You and I have a small amount of gravitational pull
as well thus, individually, we too alter time-space
albeit very slightly in this bedsheet world;
and thereby affect everything and each other.
From this is born Einsteinian magic
which is the ability to bend time-space
transmitted through frequencies which are
generated by motion and movement in the time-
space continuum.
I promise you all of this is true
and is the basis of all magic
mine Einsteins and yours..

In choosing a theory, one should pay attention to simplicity in hypotheses only. Simplicity in computation can be of no weight in the balance of probabilities. Nature is not embarrassed by difficulties of analysis. She avoids complication only in means. Nature seems to have proposed to do much with little: it is a principle that the development of physics constantly supports by new evidence.

All She Wanted
She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
Shed had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin, lovin man
There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin out for someone to hold
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin, lovin man
A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
All she wanted was a lovin man
Who was tryin to do the best that he can

Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin man

Man is half blind.
Hope is not a certainty;
Guess is not a certainty.
So are perception and prediction.
Intuition is an illusion.
Yet they are the only aids
With which man walks, half blind.
