Pictures of the Universe

Behold! An image of the Universe, to go with my equations. The above image I took using this telescope. The colors are visible red and infrared. The thing you are looking at is New Galactic Catalog Object number 7596 or NGC 7596 for short. Beautiful isn't it.

More equations of the universe

Hidey ho! Its your resident quack here again. First a bit of laity. Click here. And don't forget to vote. Second, About them equation thinglies, if you're wonding which ones just click the tab for "Fundamentals of the Universe", there's a lot of them. Anyway, I've had some new thoughts on the matter. So let's recap. W=F*d, F=ma, it also is the derivative of momentum, I'll pursue that later. m=E/c^2 according to Einstein. Minkowski, Lorenz, and Einstein told us that space and time are related, d=t. a=dv/dt or as I am thinking of it, the change in course over time, dk/dt. Thus W=(E/c^2)(dk/dt)(t), Salvation is a product of works and faith or S=W*Fg*Fc. Combining it all S=FgFc(E/c^2)(dk/dt)(t) moving dt/t to the other side and dividing both sides by S we are left with dt/t=FgFc(E/c^2)(dk/S). However for this to work Salvation must not be 0. However the only ones for whom salvation is zero are the sons of perdition. For them time is eternal, yet nothing of Faith or God or things over come is with them. The other things of interest are that when we integrate the thing, we end up with Ln[[t]]=Integral(FgFc(E/c^2)(dk/S)). Taking the antilog of both sides we get the absolute value of time equaling some function. Wait, the absolute value of time--time only being positive--no time travel--no negative time. Yes this too is apparent in my equation. I am this time not going to assume Faith or energy are independent of the kourse of our lives. But 1/C^2 is. But is salvation? This is one of the fundamental points of questions of faith. is Salvation guaranteed for all, is it the same for all? Or, does salvation depend upon the life you live?

A comment

So earlier, I posted here. I thought the material was too good to stay hidden as reply. But also, the last and most powerful link got cut off.

http://www.barackobama.com/2006/06/28/call_to_renewal_keynote_address.php

Whether you are Democrat, Republican, or alien this is a powerful speech. It is worth your time to read.

Good luck all, please try not to kill each other over politics.

Obama and his birth certificate

So this site refutes an absurd claim that Barrack Obama forged his birth certificate. But let's consider what this would mean if he had. 1. He has connections to lots of people with varying backgrounds and skills. He produces a quality work able to satisfy most people. He is able to get the things he wants to done, done even if he has to do/make them himself.

Wait... aren't these the attributes of a leader we want in office? Moreover, if, and only if he really were forging it, that would be he wants so badly to be an American he is willing to go to great extents to get that--that would mean he is probably going to lead us well.

But this is a moot point, because his certificate is REAL! Make a difference. Vote Barrack!

Electronics isn't real!

So more and more of my beloved subject matters are falling by the waysides as being not real!
The latest subject to be voted off the reality island is sadly, electronics-- which means since modern society is based on electronics its not real either. Alright, here's my argument. Most of Electronics is based on circuits being either on or off. Math and English are intimately related. The entire field of physics is based on story problems--problems based on the English language. So if I say that a circuit is on. That is the same as saying that the circuit is ON! One simply a little more startling and energetic than the other, but the meanings conveyed are the same. The circuit is on. Similarly if the circuit is "off." or "OFF!" this too conveys the same meaning. Either way the circuit is on or off, we are just a little more excited about one than the other. The values for each are the same. Horse beaten, point made. Sure there are nuances, but the circuit is either on or off, even if we punctuated it with a question? Check. on=on!, off!=off. On is usually depicted in binary as 1, off is usually 0. Since on!=on 1!=1 and off!=0!=1 thus:

1=on=on!=1!=1=0!=0ff!=off=0.

Clearly a contradiction, thus because electronics is based on a contradiction, electronics must therefore be false. Q.E.D.

P.S. My wife wants to disown me for this proof. :)

Truck of the day

So if yesterday was the quote of the day, day should be the truck of the day.

Found on the side of a truck:

Merlin's Heating, Plumbing, Astrology, and Hypnotism.

Quote of THE day!

For what follows, I am not even jesting in the least. Today's quote comes to you all directly from my mathematical modeling class. The assignment is to calculate how a flamingo's leg length will change with an increase in mass.

And now for the quote of the day, brought to you directly from my homework problem:

"Perhaps the best method would be to solve the problem of letting 20 lbs=∫ρ(Flamingo) dFlamingo Evaluated from 0 to flamingo. Where rho(flamingo) is the density function of the flamingo. Having found this function, and another similar one evaluated at 100 lbs it should be no trouble finding a limb generating function by comparing the ratio of the two."

And for your viewing pleasure here's the sequel, also from my assignment:
"...assume a spherical flamingo..."

The Latest

So it has been a while since I have posted. Time = 0. We'll start with some errata. Once upon a time I misspoke I stated that Work is force "Cross" distance. Its not, its force "DOT" distance. This is good though, it means I don't need to figure out faith vectors o.O (for those not versed in computer speak o.O is an emoticon--icon denoting emotions, for massive headache/confusion.) Anyrate because faith is a dot product rather than a cross product it means to be truly universal all that is required is addition of other terms phew that's easy "and add unto your faith ... and unto this add... and this... and this..." ITs a quote in one of them gospelly things somewheres. Also we have concluded that faith probably is a function and its evaluation is likely to involve n dimmensions, but more of that eventually...

But, now for the fun stuff. It is true. I did get married! It was wonderful!! On 08/08/08 in the salt lake temple I wed myself to one Charla Rose Mosier (now Boom). For our reception she was in a vibrant flaming red dress, myself full scout dress uniform. The main course 1.1 whopping butload of delicious heaven sent pizza, the guest book=quilt squares. THE party favor, magic 8 balls--hey what else did you expect we got married on 8-8-8 so we got 3 8 balls (we have since come to realize 1 is good 1 evil and 1 neutral and sometimes they secretly switch roles!) After this we went to Switzerland (Zermatt,UT) florence (OR), Paris& Moscow(ID), and George-Washington. Those were all places we saw, but the really cool places were Bowman Lake Montana--Beautiful, seculded and ripe with bald eagles, well, at least one. Oh and did we mention an hour by winding gravel dirt roads. I forgot to mention 1 thing, my wife and=/= sissies. We spent most of our 10 day honeymoon camping, and our wedding day--raining. It was awesome! More happened, but I have a romantic dinner to get to. Chiao!

New Gems from Ochem

Chemistry isn't real and I can prove it!

Ask any sufficiently knowledgeable chemistry professor (note: there is no actual guarantee of finding said professor) what are the fundamental concepts key to understanding all of organic chemistry, he/she will probably tell you transition states and resonance forms. If you can understand these you've got the rest made. But here's the problem, transition states are theoretical structures necessary to explain chemical reactions. These theoretical structures exist for 0 time, meaning they exist but are instantly converted into the next stage along the path to chemical nirvana. Similarly resonance forms are all possible other configurations of electrons that could give the same structure. The thing about resonance structures is that any given resonance structure doesn't exist. What we see is only a composite of all possible hypothetical other possibilities (this has interesting implications for the universe as a whole, but we'll get to that in a bit.), each possibility in an of itself does not exist. A scientist by the name of John Robert's likened resonance structures to a rhinoceros. If you were to describe a rhino to someone from fantasy land ( no- not chemistry, fairy tail fantasy land) you might describe a rhino as a cross between a dragon and a unicorn, it has the tough hide of a dragon, the bulk and temper of a dragon, but the horn and hooves of a unicorn. Neither the dragon nor the unicorn exist, but the composite, the ugly looking magical mule made by hybridizing the two does. The rhino is real, but the dragon and the unicorn aren't. (We spent 3 hours in class today discussing how we are all made out of dragons and unicorns.)

We now have all of necessary pieces, lets now construct our argument shall we. Organic Chemistry is founded upon the ideas of transition states and resonance forms. Yet, neither transition states, nor resonance forms are real. Both exist for 0 time! Oh yeah, and you can't see them either. So if I were to tell you the world runs because of really tiny things you can't see powered and explained by things that don't really exist, would you believe me or lock me up in a loony bin? Chemistry is no better than a treatise on gnome physics. (and while you're looking up that you can also check out http://gijoe.wikia.com/wiki/Joepedia_-_The_G.I._Joe_Wiki)

So we've established that chemistry isn't real, but its seems to work. Maybe we can extrapolate something useful from this information after all. For kicks, lets see where our thought processes take us if we apply the ideas of chemistry to religion. Physics says that there could be infinitely many possible universes, chemistry says there could be infinitely many resonance structures. In chemistry we learn that the actual structure of a compound is roughly the average of all possible resonance states. Maybe there really only is one universe, but it is an average of all possible other universes, maybe that is why our universe is the best of all possible universes. This could explain the curvature of the universe and why it is so precisely tuned--because it is an average, an average of universes that theoretically could have worked, some that didn't these being akin to the minor resonance structures, representing a smaller contribution. And the result is just one with some aspects of many, potentially infinitely many others. If our universe is a resonance structure of other universes maybe we can somehow use Fourier analysis to see how many components are universe is comprised of?

That's the first thing I pondered today while the teacher told us of unicorns and dragons. The second thing came about when he suggested that our drawings of resonance structures are purely a human construction, an artefact of the human mind if you will. This got me thinking about a form of microscopy called atomic force microscopy. A common artefact of this form of microscopy is imaging of the tip. The cantilever that creates the images will occasionally run into something that will produce and image of the thing supposed to be producing the image. Its like taking a picture of the camera, but on accident, and on the atomic scale. Regardless, of how its done occasionally an image of the imager is captured within the image itself. And here's where the spiritual side comes in. The Bible says that man is made in God's image. The LDS scriptures extend this in the Book of Moses 6:63 citing that all things bear testimony of God. If this is true, this then is the becomes THE purpose for science--To learn all we can of this universe, and by doing so study the very face of God himself! So why do we study astronomy? Because "darkness moved upon the face of the deep!" God is watching us, and if we are watching, we are in turn watching him.

Peace. The Ultimate Big Brother is watching!

Ochem's Razor

The semester is half over (or only half started :( ) so in celebration, here are some of the things I have learned in Ochem. In case you don't know, ochem is the science of spilling smelly things. Organic compounds come in two varieties; white powdery cancer causing compounds, and clear colorless cancer causing liquid compounds. Compounds may be further divided into: things you boil, and things you mix before boiling.

While taking organic chemistry it is important to be safe, and to understand the substances you are working with. As such, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets, or more aptly, Magnificently Stupid Danger Signs) have become my life. Here are some gems of wisdom I have found while reading real live MSDS's (Yes, they were alive at the time I read them.)

Spearmint can be quite toxic in quantities greater than 1650 mg/kg. This is not that funny until you realize that in order to die of a spearmint over dose you will need to consume more than 1.6 times your own body weight! Poor rat. Oh and standard clean up methods may be inadequate to deal with spilling an industrial vat of spearmint. IF you do, however spill an industrial vat it is advised that a full body chemical suit be worn while cleaning. Incidently, this is also the same precaution necesary for large water spills as well!

Along the lines of things you can overdose on, Orange oil is also one of them. However, this may prove difficult as 160 grams of orange yield 0.017 g of "Orange Oil" a yield of 0.01%

And the best one:
I found this under potatssium permanganate.
Early symptoms include sluggishness, sleepiness, and weakness in the legs. Advanced cases have shown symptoms of fixed facial expression, emotional disturbances, spastic gait, and falling. Wait! I thought ALL of chemistry caused this, especially 20 hours a day of it!

But enough about safety, ochem surprisingly has has some really interesting parts. Such as borazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borazine) its an organic ring without any carbons! so cool. And then there's hexahelicene it rotates light 3700 degrees! (that's rotation not temperature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexahelicene)

Cool stuff-good luck gotta go.

Light

Contrary to popular opinion, I am not dead. It is true I have not posted in ages, but I blame that on 20 hours a day of ochem. But my thought of the while is this: Heaven is supposed to be a higher state that we are in currently. God, Christ, angels, etc will on occasion drop from this higher state to visit us mere mortals. When they do, they are often described as being wreathed in a halo of brilliant light. Now consider this, an electron will also emit light as it drops from a higher to lower state. Different states have different colors. My religion says that there are different levels within heaven. If descending from heaven is akin to electron de-excitation then visitors from the different planes might have different colors. Energy evaluations using Planck's constant, C, and the Rydeberg equation to follow.

Square Root of Seventeen

Me: ...And what does that equal?
Tutee: Some weird crazy number
Me: Good! And is that a rational function?
Tutee: No, crazy numbers cannot be rational!

And now for the big news...

Figure 1--The Ring
Figure 2--The Knight
Figure 3--Dinner+Knight+Ring=Fiance'

As you might have guessed from the figures1-3, I am engaged!! I asked my lovely now fiance' Charla Rose to marry me on April 4th 2008. We met in a planetarium, so I took her to the planetarium. We saw the show I produced. This one.
We danced under the stars. I then took her to a romantic restaurant.
I did all of this in a tuxedo. Dinner was excellent! And after we had finished before the ticket was fully covered I excused myself to use the restroom, and after 14 of the world's longest minutes according to my date, I emerged in a full suit of armor. Ala
Figures 2 and 3. Where on Earth did you get the suit of armor you might be asking? Well, first I tried EVERY costume store in Utah. Nothing. I tried my armored friends, (Yes I actually have friends with armor). Still nothing. I tried ordering/renting one online 5 grand! So I decided to make it. For those of you who are interested in a recipe for baking 1 suit of armor here's how:
many yards of several varieties of silver colored fabric. (about 2.5 of each in my case) $30
1 pair of silver painted plumbers boots (Oh yeah when I dropped the hint that I would be asking to marry her in plumber's boots you should have seen the look on my girl friend's face) $13.95
1 pair of bike kneepads of awesome knightness $7
1.1 pile of home depot accessories $20
Shake, spray paint, sew, sharpie, velcro, chain, forge, weld etc and after about a week of work you have a totally awesome suit of armor and a priceless look on your girlfriends face.
So I clanked out to meet her. Knelt, asked her if she would let me be her knight in shinning armor. Presented her with a ring (figure 1--Its actually a ruby, not some weird black thing) tied to a bouquet of flowers (Calil Lillies with orchids). She said Yes! I Hugged her and whisked her off after almost locking the keys in the car. So I am now no longer single. So far its been great!

Oh and you should also know there where some really ironic parts about the story too. go back to figure 3--The one where I am kneeling. Do you see the guy in the corner to the right of us, the one in black. Yeah, that's Charla's brother, coincidently on a business luncheon at the same restaurant at the same time I proposed to her! It gets better. I mentioned I tied the ring to the bouquet. I didn't mention that my scout skills served me a little to well and it was in a knot the both of us had trouble undoing. But the best part was later that night. She wanted to show me off and share the good news with some of her friends. I am still in my suit of armor at this point. Into the apartment of her neighbors we strode. On the back of the door is a sign. It reads: Put on the full armor of God! In all good times.

The picture of the while...



And in case you're wondering, the sign says: Stop! Be careful! Do not enter, wild predators are running loose. And for the bilingual predators, it also has it in Spanish.

A bit of an elaboration...

So I have been asked to elaborate upon my previous post. If you look carefully in the background is a romantic duck pond. If closer you looked you might actually see that the wonderous thing I am wrapped around, is in fact a girl! Now this is no ordinary girl, this is a girl to put all other girls to shame! Now a claim so adacious needs backing. The following is what I like to call, THE LIST. I have known her less than 1 month and we have more than 158 things in common! Behold! THE LIST!

There are a couple I would like to especially point out:21, 22,127 and 151! Heaven. She tells jokes. She has as much random knowledge as I do! She's a total environmental nut :) AND she competes in calculus competitions with me!
Math, puns, trivia, environementalist, I am the luckiest guy in the world! Clearly you should all stayed tuned, a word with gianormous capital "M" should be in the works soon!

Oh and before I go, I should also point out as exhibited by the previous post, she's also gorgeous too! Well I hope this was enough of an elaboration. Till next time, take luck.

Qoute of the days

"Congratulations, your having a baby! Do you know what its name will be yet?"
" No we're not going to worry about little details like that!"
