Entropy
Stephen Hawking, in accordance with the formula for calculating the entropy of a black hole that he has discovered, follows that quantum gravity, in his own words “may exhibit the property called holography” and “information about quantum states in a region of spacetime can be encoded in some way on the border of that region, which has two dimensions less”. Well, we don´t panic, what he means is that somehow the second law of thermodynamics is true, despite the fact that the mere existence of black holes seem to prove otherwise, that is, the information which is apparently swallowed by black holes, actually does not evaporate or disappear but remains engraved on the edge of the event horizon, as is the case with holographic images, the full image information is encoded in its entirety in each of the pixels that compose it. Certainly it is a mere speculation, since quantum gravity is currently just a theory, although it has eminent and renowned advocates like Professor Michio Kaku.
Entropy is used to measure the disorder within any system and although it is an easily defined thing belongs to this class of concepts so abstract that seem to be completely useless. However it is a very practical idea that is not limited to the world of physics, in fact it is useful in many aspects of life, if we apply it to a closed system. For example you can say that unfortunately too people still prefers low-entropy political systems, inadvertently. The truth is that if you tell someone that he has a great mental entropy, he would might even feel grateful, it really is a word that sounds really well. Some use the term “chaos” instead of “disorder” and although are synonymous, there is a risk of being confused with Chaos Theory which is another matter. I’m not a fan of disorder but I recognize that the strict order gives me chills, I do not like the stiffness.
Is attributed to a physicist called Clausius the idea of quantifying disorder, although it seems that was not the first, according to cosmologist Sean Carroll, Latin author Lucrecius , around the year 70 before the current era, he speculated about the nature of entropy, although I bet to the Pythagoreans had outlined the idea, in any case the merit goes to, a long time after, Ludwig Boltzmann, who was able to give a mathematical form to the idea.
Low entropy defines a highly homogeneous system or what is the same, has a high degree of entropy when there is no order, ie the randomness of the component parts is very high. As you can see, the meanings of few, very, low or great is starting to stumble because we are talking about “depends” and “perhaps”, a quasi-esoteric things depending how you look. The truth is that the specialists since the last century, in front of the inability to provide accurate measurements, have been compelled to work with mere assumptions, ie, with probabilities.
The fundamental characteristic of all this is that closed systems do not exist, there is always a degree of interactivity or contact general scattering in function of time, I mean, the typical example of the glass on the table who falls and crashes to the ground, breaking into pieces. The glass on the table has low entropy and who is broken has a high entropy, but the same glass on the table in a room where there are children, has a higher entropy than if simply there are no children around. It is what is usually called prognosis.

Atlantis mon amour
Lost cities must have a lot, more than we imagine, of all the most famous, Atlantis. The only certainty is that everything we know about this mythical world is little, and we owe to the Greeks, not Disney how today some people might think. It was Plato who gave us a legend that has intrigued to curious and researchers more or less serious, like many specialists who abstain from show public interest to safeguard its reputation.
The Timaeus and Critias are two dialogues whose authenticity are confirmed, ie there are no significant differences between the Latin copies that have survived and historical references of classic and modern authors also confirm it, the authorship is beyond any doubt, all which is far more than what it can be said about other books, such as the Bible. There is no other source, whatever what Blavatsky and her circle of theosophical-mystical-just-for-initiated have said, there is no other except for some veiled mythological insinuations, and although that look too far into the complexity of the beliefs of the Greeks does not lead to a more profound comprehension of the question, it can be made some notes.
Going backwards until Hesiod times, we know through him that the Greeks believed that in ancient times there was a war between Gods and Titans. The Titans were the first generation of gods, sons of heaven and earth (Uranus and Gaia), the primordial gods. Atlas, among these Titans, was a character closely related to the far western Mediterranean, which is where I want to arrive. He was the son of the Titan Iapetus and as Apollodorus describes, Atlas’s mother was a Oceanid, which can be interpreted as a clue he was out of the Mediterranean. Daughters of Atlas were the Hesperides, three in number, with different eponyms, all interchangeable as, glow, red, sunset … more evidence pointing to the west, Strabo and other Latin authors place the Hesperides in front of Tartessos river , at least one of them, talking specifically about the Erytheia island (the red one), where the Phoenicians came to install a colony at the gates of the ocean, called Gades.
Atlas also had time to Pleione, another Oceanid, whose relationship the Pleiades were born, also called the Atlantides and they were converted into stars to escape of Orion the hunter and his dog Sirius, is a group of stars well known to ancient mariners, they show the west in the night sky during the season of go out to sea. Egyptians, outside the Greek ambient, if it is possible to consider this, becouse the Greek dependance of Egyptian culture is profound, they considered the West, as the place where live the gods and towards this place, they sent the souls of their deads Critias describes how after defeating the Titans, after the distribution of all the earth by lot, among the Olympian gods, Poseidon had got Atlantis, it seems clear he is a god without luck as the god Zeus, in many ways recalls the Sumerian ENKI.
It also specifies clearly that the island is “beyond the Pillars of Heracles”, a place that it has sought to identify with a temple of Melkart currently buried under a bulwark of the eighteenth century on the island of Sancti Petri. Heracles was associated with the god of the Tyrians, Melkart, in syncretistic thinking Greek. The temple probably included a pair of columns or Bethylidae, typical of the Phoenician mystical architecture. In any case, there is no doubt refers to the Strait of Gibraltar, although other locations have been proposed, from Peru to Antarctica, being the preferred one, the Greek island of Thera, while not by conventional is less capricious.
Finally, Herodotus speaks of the Atlantians, settled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa and they could possibly identify with the indigenous of Amazigh ethnia, splitted off between Algeria and Morocco and who still retain a language and writing distinct of Arabic.
Solon, the poet, the politician, the troublemaker of the seventh century before actual era, at one point of his life, decided to leave the Greek world for a period of time no less than ten years and direct their steps to different places including Egypt, where he became interested in democratic politics and administrative management of Amasis and at some point of the trip came to establish a relationship with priests of a temple of Neith at Sais, which first sermonized him mortally, yell at him that the Greeks are ignorants about the ancient events and then boasting about their old written records. Yet, through them, he had notice of the history, with which he later would regret having not written a poetic work, because as Critias says, it would have surpassed to Homer and Hesiod, in whatever poetic contest.
Apparently the condescending priests of Neith, had registered in their records, facts which dated back eight thousand years ago, about the sudden imperialist desire that seized Atlanteans and led them to try to conquer the world, shortly before the great cataclysm, which would have achieved if they would have not encountered with Athens, not the actual Athens but another that vanished as Atlantis. The priest mentioned the name of the arcane Athenian king, Cecrops and other familiar names to Solon, which probably fueled his interest. Indeed perhaps they just wanted to warm his ear to the poor Greek Robbersons by talking about how great were the people who populated the original Athens, how well they fought and how skillfully they save the world from the threat Atlantean, it should be noted that the Nile delta had a long tradition of trade with the north coast of the Mediterranean and especially in time of Amasis, when, in the economic background of this times, from power, the relations were intended to be more than cordial, clear policies and military, in short, getting along with the Greeks was State Policy.
In any case the fact is that Solon was apparently able to record accurate details of a lost civilization, perhaps to some, suspiciously accurate, such as measures, specific dimensions of the different areas, heights, quantities, a whole host of data seemingly impossible to remember but that he could have put in writing, although it makes no mention of this fact. It does not seem right on the other hand, putting in question the capacity of memorization of the poets of this time, do not forget that both the Odyssey and the Iliad, two bricks of significant size (12,000 and 15,693 lines respectively) were not designed to be written, but to be recited from memory, which should not surprise us, since before the existence of writing; legends, myths, knowledge, everything was recorded and transmitted mnemonically.
It has been wanted to attribute to Critias a symbolic sense, denying so any hint of veracity, so Atlantis described would be just as an archetypal of Persia, as invader enemy, face of the Athens of that time, ie only an emulated environment to discuss the uses and abuses of monarchies, a problem that was opressive in times of Solon, when the Athenians fought to escape the pressure of the Eupatrids (those pureblood), the dominant social class which was in favor of the establishment of the monarchy, the own Solon led some popular revolts, indeed.
Are many, at this point, the legends that have surpassed the general skepticism, and as in the case of Heinrich Schliemann‘s Troy, there are many topological and circumstantial data that suggest the story of Critias is not just a mere philosophical game, mainly because are data useless in a debate of this nature, I mean, at some point a question should be arise, what value has to mention the moat that surrounded the palace of Poseidon was 100 feet deep, if the issue is to expose where is virtue?. Also, if it is true that there are some parallelisms, really Persian rulers were feudal kings and they were immensely rich, as the rulers of Atlantis, on the other hand it is equally true that, being a continental people, were dreadful sailors, they depended entirely on the Spartan and Phoenician fleet primarily while the Atlanteans theoretically dominated the sea before it was discovered navigation .
Despite the inconsistencies, the theory of metaphysical excursus, linkable with other dialogues, especially with “The Republic”, has spread among the scientific community and the discovery of a supposed “sunken city” at 600 feet deep at one end of the island of Cuba has not moved a whit the mood of the staff, Atlantis is a taboo subject, like aliens or the chupacabra.
In the Critias is described in fairly general lines, the layout of the city, the capital of a feudal empire divided into ten kingdoms, one for each son of Poseidon and Clitus, who was human female. To the eldest, named Atlante, handed the capital and sovereignty over the rest of his brothers, while his twin brother, Eumelus in Greek, Gadirus in the language of origin, received an area at the other end of the island. Is the own narrator who speculates, this is the cause of the coasts of Tartessos carry the name of Gadiric region . At this point it should be noted that most of the maps that swarm over the network, erroneously place the city of Atlantis looking to Africa when should look to America, if we accept that the kingdom of Gadirus was at the antipodes of the kingdom of Atlante Another issue is the own name of Atlantis, I’m not a linguist but investigating a little, it results that the structure -tl is extremely rare in any known language except in the family Uto-Aztecan, derived from protonahuatl, splitted off by most of the western United States, Utah and Central America. The Nahuatl really does a use abusive of this particle, which as a suffix indicates singular . But this fact may or may not mean nothing, thousands of years separate the Central American cultures of Atlantis, nor even what we know about the Olmec culture reach an age so distant.
I’m not a fanatic of diffusionism, however I must admit the testimonies are numerous throughout the world, and somehow it would be expected to find in Plato’s account, the description of some Atlantean pyramid and may be so, although the description is very vague:
.
“… There was a temple to Poseidon of a stadium in length and three hundred feet wide, its height seemed proportional to these measures, since it had a shape somewhat barbarian…”
I know, I know, it’s a very short and dark passage, but it’s what we get, an almost square building or slightly rectangular, as preferred, however at the time to mention the height the text goes down the branches with a “seemed proportional” and then “had a shape somewhat barbarian” , it was not the typical Greek temple, come on. It may be helpful to clarify this, that the term “barbarian” had not then the current connotations related to the savage or brutality, really, “barbarian” was then synonymous foreigner. The Egyptian pyramids and the Babylonian ziggurats, in the eyes of the Greeks also probably were “somewhat barbarian.”
The Atlanteans were apparently, wise, cultivated and prudent people, in the end, virtuous and so on, under Plato said that Critias had told him, what his grandfather had told him, whom Solon had told what the Egyptians had explained him. Apparently, while generations were passing , the divine blood volume did go diluting itself because of the merge with human beings exclusively, so the spiritual quality was declining and the Atlanteans eventually turned fools and violent, ie humans. This sort of thing fascinated to certain part of the Germanic masonry, many centuries later, to the point of inciting to the sadly notorious Himmler to send expeditions around the world in search of the atlantean ancestors of the Aryans (?), While for their part the British took a look on the Azores.
A curious detail is the mention of the fact that even in historical times, the strait of gibraltar was impracticable because of the shallow and mud, remnants of the collapse, a fact that may well have been a fable, spreaded by Phoenician sailors, who was not interested in that other naval powers snooping around the pewter route or may well be true, given the continuing geological activity in the area, you can inquire about it to the inhabitants of the Hierro island.
It can also be said that the Atlanteans had an advanced technology, based on the “oricalchos” an unidentified metal and also they were capable to apply iron as painting to the walls, by an undetermined procedure,. On the other hand remained a feudal system, they celebrated sacrifices, during which they ritually drank blood from slaughtered animals, things particularly uncivilized for a supposedly highly evolved people. As for the disposition of the territory surrounding the city in concentric circles alternating land and water, at first it might seem bizarre and arrogant, considering the instability of the area, which should be at the level of Ecuador, in the surroundings or in the middle of Mid-Atlantic Ridge, that creepy scar that crosses the ocean from pole to pole. It is obvious that millions of people like to live dangerously, or they have no other choice, in the case of some islands of Japan, Los Angeles in the United States and many other places, famous for lack of future, surely the Atlanteans suspected something, because the place was provided with sources of hot and cold water, always a sure sign that the mantle magma is not far away. However the rings might serve as dikes against storm season, as those at present periodically devastate the Caribbean areas. The environment described is distinctly tropical, and the text states that the elephants were very numerous, a fact that automatically discards the American continent, where the closest thing to an elephant, are the mastodon fossils from 60,000 years ago.
Personally I am convinced that most legends have a background of reality, a logical explanation. In the case of Atlantis, I personally tend to think that it existed, especially because they are not impossible natural phenomena at a large-scale, especially when the event coincides chronologically with the period of thaw at the end of the last glaciation. Unfortunately the issue has fallen into the hands of esoteric and ufologists who have armed the powerful film industry, with all sorts of storylines that have coated the whole matter, with a dense web of dreams and fantasies from where will be difficult to rescue some truth, is what happens to the mythology in general, it wants to enlarge, embellish, expand their legends to such an extent, that along thousands of years, it loses the original meaning. If it would lose the work of Plato, the Atlanteans would have had zero-point technology, they would have flown in jumpers and would have not been decimated by nature, but they would have amounted to another spiritual level as Jesus Christ.
We will have to revisit the matter.

A stream of Islamophobia roams in the media holders for quite some time, it’s not a casual thing, is in some ways a pathetic religious counteroffensive, facing the real danger of social and cultural regression on all orders of life. The doomsayers say, with wide array of elaborated studies and detailed statistics, that the decadent Western society, has birth rates well below average, especially compared with the Muslim world, which provides them a long-term tactical advantage. The fact is, this society, is moving only by and for the money, which consequently has led the majority to one disappointing conclusion: “there are already enough slaves in the world”, and then we allowed to us wasting for decades, a lot of money and resources irrationally, relying on the paradigm “They can’t take the fun away from me” I mean, “enjoy yourself while you can” or “Carpe Diem”.
After the “Cold War” since the 50′s, the triumphant capitalist society has rested on its laurels and instead of claiming for itself the ideal of a more just and egalitarian, who flourished at the beginning of last century, has seen itself dragged by ambition, love of luxury and most atrocious selfishness. Jaded, on the other hand, by the secular psychological and social pressure of religion, we have fallen into an materialism meaningless at all , and we have reduced our vital expectations just to produce in order to consume and vice versa, backs to the world, that is, of famines , epidemics and difficulties of the rest. Although some people believe, as the Jihadists, this is again, a new war of religion, no doubt the oil is behind all this. If oil runs out, as the media is foretelling for more than fifty years, radical Islam will end as also it will finish our post-welfare’s society , so that in reality the fate of all is intertwined . In fact Islamism as such, would not exist without the help of the Western world.Arguably, recently it jelled in Afghanistan, where the intention was, arming an army on the banks of the dying communist empire, in order to they can fight against the last bastions of state socialism. Funding border-states between two enemy countries is nothing new, is as old as cities. When the Soviet problem disappeared, it lost interest for that country, but the muhaidins, educated for war, and even exalted at the time by the West itself, they found in the Jihad and the opium at a large scale, a way of expressing his disappointment. We could go back to the ramshackle British decolonization of the Middle East, which has turned the area into a place that paradoxically, millions of tourists visit every year, despite following technically at war, while a band prepares for the establishment of the Third Temple of Solomon and the other organizes the Third Jihad. I think it was Goebbels who cynically stated that just is needed the collaboration of only ten percent of the population, to can drive the majority to slaughterhouse as cattle and although fortunately the Third Reich was over almost before it started, it was not possible to avoid the greatest bloodbath in history and complicate the life of generations of survivors. It occurs constantly.
This mediatic counteroffensive that puts the Arabs in the spotlight, is not false, ie it is not using false arguments, certainly a large part of Muslim society today is brutal and authoritarian, especially in the environment of Islamic organizations where it encourages hatred and cruelty from the earliest ages and in schools children are educated on intolerance as if it were a virtue. But basically everything is a huge farce, ie although this stuff catchs someone by surprise, at these very moments in which it talks about crisis, we really are at a crossroads, we are at the threshold of a new technological revolution, something never seen, a new physics, new materials and most importantly a new source of cheap and inexhaustible energy, fusion energy and this is only a first step to a world of future possibilities. Great, what a pretty … but the current power brokers want to keep their status and leading all changes necessary to pass from the old order (the current) to the new, with no fundamental changes in their interests. Therefore, they want to we believe that something as abstract as the mere selfishness has nothing to do with what happens and that the blame for everything is of those damn Moors. The worst thing is that in our case, ie the most of us, the hard faction of power, will not have scrupled to blow up the building with us inside, I mean they can push us to war as I can see them capable to convert themselves to Islam if were necessary, for these people we are little more than numbers, anonymous figures in an aseptic report and mainly we are too many numbers. We must be aware that after the war, those who survive, with some exceptions, generally tend to be much more docile, beset by hunger and needs, at this point I have no doubt that even regardless of social strata, there is much people who thinks in these terms.
Immigration in Europe is a phenomenon calculated, not an atmospheric phenomenon more or less unpredictable or unexpected as the media would have us believe. Since its beginning, during the 80′s, remember that we were told that although the majority of immigrants were entering “illegally” into the country of destination, while they were presented as a necessary evil to overcome lack of manpower , despite the millions of unemployed who have not stopped growing since. Obviously it was a blatant fallacy, a subterfuge for not recognizing that with the current guidelines can not compete against slavists economies, without wielding their own weapons, that is, without reducing to the accomodated middle class to slavery and misery. The point is, ultimately, to evade the fundamental problem, which is that capitalism has neither idea how or where to begin to urbanize the jungle. Everyone knows that in the free market dominates the pecking order, although it gets up on the squalid shoulders, of millions of insolvents. Lately there is the urban legend that’s the fault of the Chinese, as it once was before the Japanese and the Americans or the British and so on …
Truly the Western world does not need to defame the Islamic world, it is already doing very well without any help, but so does the Western world, in fact studies show that a significant proportion of the boom that is taking Islam in the U.S. comes directly from conversions made between the prison population. We should note that in the super liberal USA , prisons are an industry in the hands of private capital and the logic of the market system say that in order to get benefits must be imprisoned people, whether or not devil. Indeed this is a perverse order, though it would be absurd at a crucial time, once more, that entire humanity spend its energy in a new war for the benefit of a few.
Finally, after swallowing, with great difficulty, several chapters of Islam-for-all on Youtube, I thought I glimpsed in the ways you have to adopt in front of the divinity, as the Salat, a remaining encryption much older shapes, such as is seen in the Akkadian and Sumerian votive offering, which at that time, I found very interesting, apart from this, it is clear that Islam far from helping any spiritual growth, gives letter of favor to an absurd string of psychological disfunctionalities and ridiculous prejudices, getting to deify the concept of authority, in short, a sort of mystical fascism, of absolute obedience, all strewn with severe rules, strict rituals and macabre punishments . A joy.

Probabilities
Flocks of gulls and other birds passed about the same hour, every day, over the roof of my house, at dusk, sometimes on a column, all in the same direction. Through the news, the whole world knew about the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the movement of the crust that caused the fateful tsunami that toppled a few degrees, the Earth’s axis . The birds now spend over a neighbor’s house, about sixty or seventy meters away.
Everything is in motion, but we choose to ignore it. In fact surrounds us from the inside even though we have the impression of stand stopped for example when we stand motionless at a stoplight, but obviously this is just an impression, because around us vehicles and pedestrians flow, and within us, our organs shed certain substances into the bloodstream, boosted by the too often monotonous mechanical movements of the mind, all without taking into account that the Earth and all that it contains, moves in space at the crazy speed of 30 km per second, a barbarity if compare with the insignificant 350 m / s of a bullet. Seen this way, peace is more of a mood.
Memory neither is static, it is not like the hard disk of a PC, not a file or a warehouse, is a mental process reconstructive, we never will get an exact copy of what once was and that from that moment on, passed to be automatically deconstructed, in a certain number of aspects that are encrypted separately, in different brain areas. When we remember, all the ingredients needed to compose the memory are selectively collected and combined as a cocktail, liberally seasoned with our emotional and gastrointestinal state, at that particular time and therefore does not seem advisable to rely too much on our memories. And is that the brain constantly deceives us, not only through our senses, but at the same time works surreptitiously in the background, which to breathing is fine, but that makes it responsible of, for example, that our body accumulate unnecessary fat, in response of opaques survival protocols, ie giving priority to the faculty to dispose of reserves, at the expense of our self-esteem, regardless of whatever it is our opinion or What about pain? is supposed to be only an alarm signal, but will not stop ringing even though we have already noticed ourselves the damage. Yet the brain is the only tool we have to discern reality. And the information, always is have thought that the ignorance is the guilty to the world’s ills, lack of information, but things have not changed, so it means that we prefer not to know, there are things much more fun.
Often called reality to everything that is visible, but in the universe, the amount of matter that is likely to be affected in some way by the light, is only slightly more than 5% of all existing matter, so that whatever we usually consider important, in practice is fairly anodyne, but life, understood as an abstract concept, it certainly has value, a low worth in quantitative terms, but very significant probabilistically speaking.
Some researchers are drawing conclusions from their findings and at this point there is no doubt that everything is interconnected at a subatomic scale and is part of something that is to be defined. The fact is that usually what we call reality is simply the result of an intricate web of interactions starring by ghostly probabilities of different wave functions, scientists now, have practically given up all hope of finding the particle that would provide mass to the matter, the hypothetical Higgs boson, after to have unsuccessly analyzed the 95% of the particles obtained through the Tavatron at the Fermilab in Chicago after twenty years of continuous work. Our materialist society, we ourselves, have forgotten what the tribes call “primitive” intuit, the notion of being one with nature and the whole. In many respects it is the basis of the traditional magic of what we now understand as “shamanism,” Witchcraft, and it can be traced to the spells and chthonic rituals from the cultures of the Holocene. Intuition is a mental phenomenon insufficiently studied.
On the planet, every day, a good part of humanity temporarily disappears from circulation, while the rest strives. Sleep steals third of our lives. We prefer to ignore than life and death can be sides of a coin, at the molecular scale, step by step, imperceptibly, we die and we reborn in some way, because our cells are constantly renewed throughout life a lot of times, but of course, we all prefer to be definitively absent better after than before, in contrast to many other aspects of life, where we want everything for yesterday. In any case, the fact is that we live from back to death, focusing our efforts on what our senses show us, we accept the obtained image as if were real and then we boldly brandish it, against the authentic general reality. Our human eyes tell us that color exists, although is only one effect of the interaction of light with the surface of something, and it is our brains who qualifies it, which does not necessarily mean that is the real color, the information of the light can be perceived by other beings differently. We have much to learn from the living beings, not just how to eat them.
Researchers tell us now, that the probability reflects the reality better than the certainty and that the act to observe determines the outcome of the observation. This is very difficult to understand even for most of us now, so it does not affect in any way in our lives or in society, although it was on the twenties of last century when were ruminated all these things, if not even before. The same has happened many times, in Galileo’s time is believed in Aristotle and now we are with Newton yet. We delay to update our software. We are reluctant to abandon old patterns and dogmas.
The mystery of the double slit, not yet elucidated, has led to generations of scientists to the idea that the act of observing, determines the result of observation, as I mentioned, technically this was described by Schrodinger to the formula:
And… guys, we need a new Carl Sagan to put it easier to us , is sufficient to know that the algorithm was somewhat “improved” by Paul Dirac:
Paradoxically, these concepts and others depend on the limit set by Einstein, the premise that “nothing can travel faster than light” and very recently seems to have proven that particles called neutrinos can travel above the speed of light, but of course before starting to talk about time travels, will have to corroborate the results of the measurements, check the measuring equipment and all such trifles, which seems a thing of geeks but it is the point of science, do not take anything for granted just like that .
There are books, where one expects to find more complete information on all this stuff, as surely the written with the suggestive title “The Road to Reality” by Roger Penrose, which I do not recommend to anyone that is not an initiated into the cryptic language of current physical, to say this I refer to this link and because I am rereading an earlier book by the same author, “The emperor’s New Mind” a work supposedly less arid and friendly, from which I sincerely doubt that is able to understand just anything in a near future. Nevertheless, the mathematical formulas are not without beauty, but of course this is not important, but are able to respond to the expectations and also predict phenomena, even before they have been observed and that from that time come in the laboratory. This dynamic gives scientists a very large capacity of certainty and what they are saying us right now is amazing, something like that inside the duality between “road” and “reality” there is more of “road” than of “reality”, at this point we may then ask: does end the “road” when we die?, think for yourselves.
“If, when you think about the whole made up of fragments considered independent, your mind tends to work the same way, but if you can include things in a coherent and harmonious, into a comprehensive whole that is continuous, not fragmented, and without any borders (for every border is a division or break), then your mind will tend to move in a similar way and it will flow from itself an action coherent with the whole.” David Bohm (Wholeness and the implicate order).
Nothing less.

Constantinism
The Pope in his popemobile seems an old relic in a glass case, carefully conditioned, so that moisture and temperature levels do not spoil it. The deployment of the 10,000 “effective” (note that in journalistic jargon, does not seem to talk about people, human beings, but of “units” of a measurement system, as if they could be bought by weight or so), it seems logical, considering the instability of the current situation, is merely a reflection of profound fear that the “authorities” feel of that the plum escapes of their hands, so all of them have spoken overwhelmingly in favor of the visit Benedict Ratzinger, ones to do not to lose votes, and others to be recognized as true sons of Mother Church and its more than questionable oeuvre. The touch of color have been put by the military, as usual, the Legion parading and besides have been effectuated aerial displays, the typical epic paraphernalia of this particular mysticism, that characterizes the Church of Rome from before of the Crusades , the show is served, if we do not have enough with football.
There is whom seems irrelevant that the Pope has recovered the tradition of wearing red shoes, interrupted by his predecessor with the sole purpose to get away from a symbology that identified the head of the Church with the pomp of emperors and kings of antiquity, but it is well known that Ratzinger has expressed willingness to retake decrepit concepts and dogmas, we must not forget this.
Now has come and has talked about the economy in a critical tone in front of the cameras, and then I tell myself, What is this?, Does the Vatican have fear, “the Institute of Pity” that someone stealing its leadership over the oppressed?, no wonder that the “outraged people” be pissed off, because have swiped the message to them and what is more serious, has separate the young “believers” from the rest of others. What this plethora of “volunteers”,who have volunteered to assist in the staging, ignores, is how much is going to be swelled the figures of expenditure, in order to that the organizers may deduct from the income tax, a substantial figure. The young “believers” in contradistinction to the “Outraged people”, unfortunately, are very poorly informed, they just “believe..”, “trust” …., they have been educated in that way, not their fault that their minds have been programmed, and of course, do not realize that the Church really has little or nothing to do with “Christianity”, naively I would recommend that read more in general and at least the “Bible”, I say “naive” because I doubt that it going to happen. This is one of the major flaws of Catholicism, the little relevance that has, between the so-called “Catholic”, the direct knowledge of their own holy book, even centuries after that the prohibition to read it is over, but is also a fact that neither Lutherans or Jews or Muslims have build fairer societies, even though some of them have come to learn their texts by heart.
It is grotesque how the Power strives to incorporate what represents a threat to the status quo, from punk more radical to Gandhi, I mean, today you can buy a shirt of Che Guevara “made in USA” (of course, after to be executed by the same U.S. Army) or even of Stalin, so freedom of expression is also quite profitable, so that everything, anything, however revolutionary it is, just being a product labeled, cataloged and ready for consumption. They have this special tool able to channel for its own benefit virtually any social movement, a virtual instrument that works like a magic wand and we call money, although unfortunately seems to have the power to corrupt what it touches, but when eventually along the history, the magic disappears from the pockets of the majority, then one way or another war comes, the more profitable business of all time, sometimes with the connivance of any of the above confessions.
Christianity became part of the system at the time of Constantine, and curiously in less than a year (313-314 AD) the followers of Christ changed from persecuted to persecutors, from marginalized to excluders, from martyrs, to sophisticated torturers, and murderers.
More than 1500 years later, after centuries of religious wars, Inquisitorial terrorism and psychological confiscation , the French Revolution gave the bourgeoisie the ability to free themselves from the privileges of the Church and so it was, among other things, until in 1929 was put a stop to the confiscation when Benito Mussolini created the Vatican State. Whoever wants to understand who understands.

Read between the lines
It is curious how the language, like any code, encrypts complex concepts which in some cases can be intuited even after thousands of years and although it is not difficult to fall into pure speculation, it always is a valuable exercise in imagination. In the Sumerian pre-Sargonic pictographic language from the third millennium, (I know, I Know, sounds very pedantic…) we may see some examples. For purely technical issues along the third millennium, the vertical glyph is oriented horizontally, probably the generalization of the method forced the adoption of a standard font that schools spread, during generations. We already can start to guess:
In some cases, during the process, the original meaning is lost to give us an unexpected source of information about human behaviours, several millennia ago. In the case of the word “lamb” radically changes the shape of the pictogram, integrating two specific concepts, the word “recipient, container” and the word “inspector in charge,” framing the second inside the first. I’ll stick with the theory that when was fixed the influence of cities in rural spaces, was established some link between livestock producers and the temple so that the lambs, not sheeps themselves, passed to stay “reserved for the inspector,” ie the temple.
Perhaps under the guise of some ritual, they took advantage of to select the fattest, or maybe not. In any case it is known that at these times, if someone had news of the birth of a deformed animal, with several heads, or whatever, should communicated immediately to the temple where the fact was duly registered, dating it and documented it in detail; the Sumerians became a hardened bureaucrats who had faith in that some kind of events like this was intrinsically linked with the fate of the powerful men and nations. In addition, like other contemporary peoples, sumerians liked to poke into the guts of some specimens strictly selected, eager to find into them, with so repulsive labor, you know, signs, omens, in short this kind of bullshit.

ENK1 v26.01
Potpourri of effects such as Glow and SpaceWarps as Ripple and Gravity. The modeling of the logo or the path of Glow did not take a long, nor the use of the Unwrap modifier for the text neither modifier Flex, but the final rendering has had occupied over six hours to my Pc for a scene of just twelve seconds.
Actually all this that sounds complicated, it is not at all, is a bit laborious but not difficult. I have no very clear why the logo (this specie of eye) came out blurred and obviously crystal balls have not the corresponding effect of sloshing in and out of the water. Lighting approaches what I sought, perhaps should have put some Omni lights scattered around the scene, to enhance the depth of the result.
Lighting is not easy, I mean it’s not as simple as putting a spotlight here and there, mainly because any change in intensity or position for example, affects the objects in the scene in general and in particular to each depending on material parameters, texture or map.
It was our Gaztetxe, years before I knew that there were places like that anywhere else. We met in what had been the home of the doorkeeper, under the stairs of a building of the time when there were still doorkeepers, on a narrow side street with no exit ,next to the St. George’s Anglican Church, in the Paseo de Reding, an alley then feinted to climb the steep hill to Gibralfaro through a hidden door with an arch, blinded by thorns, a remnant of the wall forgotten by the tourist routes, and urbanism plans.
For a time, in one of the rooms of that hole that reeked of cat and musty, there slept the Tabletom group instruments’. Then, I was begining to play guitar and still only dreamed of squeezing an electric guitar, so sneaking I dared to fumble the guitar of Perico, a pretty Fender Mustang, I think. Pepillo spent some afternoons with his flute, but Roberto, I do not remember having ever seen him over there, of course that the only pot we had, proceeded from the seeds that are mixed as food for birds.
When I found out from local newspapers that Rockberto had died, I could have remembered to that guy of Antequera Rock the seventies, shouting to the “Grays”(*), unintelligible things to the rhythm of reggae-jazz-rock, however, was the sweet memory of that house what came to me, I dedicate it to him.
(*)The grays were the Police, because they wore this colour.

ENK1v.26
This month there is no anti-system verbiage, so for who has the desire, can to see the new docu-denunciation “ZEITGEIST moving forward“. There is also no scientific speculations or winks at the past unknown and strange. This month I have been studying, I have dedicated myself to follow some of the tutorials that it can be found on youtube.
… Tutorial texporter
… Tutorial Particle Systems
… Tutorial Spacewarps
… Tutorial Unwrap Modifier
As a stimulant, I had proposed myself to develop a small cartoon that had started in Flash, but without storyboard, it is very difficult, so for the moment, I will leave aside the production of content and continue learning the intricacies of these monstrous programs crammed of parameters.

Do meditate damned!!!
The Board of Elections a bit in a ramshackle way, decided to ban the concentrations from the 15M during the day of reflection (the previous day of the votes day), political parties agreed to declare unlawful the crowds in public spaces, something unusual for those who boast of Democratic , fortunately someone moved the case to the Court ultimately and the party system in that way achieved get out unscathed, obviously when the courts were to pronounce will have spent the day of reflection. But, what kind of reflection is possible when all the public space is wallpapered, ad nauseum, with electoral propaganda?
Politicians are there, wrapped in his little world of methodical verbal confrontations and bombastic campaigns, hoping to pass the tide, while people looks out the world like years ago looked out through the window, they start listening to each other and make decisions without consulting to “the authorities”, among other things because they have lost the authority that only gives the respect.
If the situation goes to more, we will see unexpected situations in a state of law, as is seen in other parts of the world, but although each country is trying to link the demonstrations effects just to its own surroundings, are now, and indeed thus is how should be, a phenomenon that transcends borders, apparently oblivious to any policy guidelines and with the potential to become something more than a sophisticated way of saying that we are up to the hilt.
At the end, the urns’ spectacle is like Eurovision, people vote more to the flag, than to the song or artist and more against than in favor of anyone, perhaps for that reason the more capable do not present themselves for election. In any case the result was more a big punch in the face for the government that an election result. People like this system, is comfortable and although these rudder strokes greatly slows our social evolution, they demarcate the direction and width of the floor, like the sticks of a blind from one side to another, while we are moving towards not really is known where. In general other choices, other paths are ignored, remain hidden, as if they were not there, as if the only truth will be found delimited between the increasingly narrow line that separates the current political choices.
The burden of comfort is intense, somebody called poetically to the absurd becoming of the world, “the wind of time”, because it takes people from one place to another as fallen leaves, referring to the patent fact that nobody owns your circumstances , a detestable comment, because gives beauty to something of which we perhaps should be ashamed.

A few days ago Mr. Botín gave the starting shot, by saying publicly that “the Brand Spain ” was hurting him, because his larger volume of business, is abroad, which is a way of saying: I have enough money, to go out of here. Then Telefónica has manifested itself in similar terms and other multinationals such as Nokia have been encouraged to swell the numbers of unemployed in pro the common good of them. Some people, very, very Spaniards, Surf into the flagship of the Spain that are ready to strip, Since a former Labor Minister of Aznar’s time, to a son-in-law of the king.
In general, public opinion has spoken out against such actions for much that publicly traded, largely concerned about the cost that can represent for their own pockets, although it is true that we have paid the financial outrages of Banking without murmur, so I think is a meanness worry about how much goes to cost maintain tens of thousands of unemployed besides of the more than four million. Even the Church, which until recently considered the authorities must be obeyed blindly like a sacred duty and which, until a bit ago, blessed guns to kill “reds” (leftists in general), in multitudinous religious acts, now, it is dropping by the press with verbal “ear pullings”, against capitalism and governments. The majority unions, on the other hand, languish for decades, prey to a deadly slumber, lulled by the siren chants of “permanent negotiation” and “social peace” and obviously the thunderous number of unemployed has not yet reached the point of representing a risk to their candid rest. Finally, politicians wash their hands like Pilate, while the powerful macroeconomic sons, strip their mothers, exposing them to the voracity of the subcontractors. If you make a movie of the situation might be called “Take the Money and Run”, unfortunately the title is already taken but could not be expressed better the future expectations for “the brand Spain. “
Interestingly, countries seemingly unimportant like Norway, exploit properly its resources and enjoy in its studied anonymity, social and economic conditions enviable, while boastful neighborhood countries, potentially rich, they collapse in the maelstrom of financial engineering, amid cheers to billionaires sport players. Hopefully, the Apocalypse of the doomsayers of 2012 falling on the heads of the entrepreneurs and their major shareholders, banks, though I fear, given the apathy that dominates Europe; it seems that ultimately we will know, serviles as cattle, to provide the hump to charge, once again, their indolent asses.
I do not want to be uncouth, but sterile arguments as the “labor meritocracy” (sic), I mean, earn more if we produce more, which is ultimately what is sought, is not going to get us out of this crisis and certainly it will deepen social differences. As individuals frankly we have some right to make mistakes, as a species, definitely not.
I do not want to leave this post without referring to Fukushima, which has been, is and will be, because the radiation does not disappear just like that, an unfortunate disaster and those who felt it was worth the risk of using uranium and its derivatives to produce energy, they are directly responsible, ie all the world’s governments, irresponsible politicians advised by unscrupulous businessmen, in Spain we still pay the tax-blackmail by the nuclear moratorium. Personally I think the international project of hydrogen fusion power plant (is not an irony) based in France and should open in 2015 will not be affected because if successful, will be able to solve the real global problem, which is the energy issue.
