Cfr www.yoga6d.org/economy.htm. To get into anyone of the search entry points, click at the 'search now' drawing at the front of yoga6d.org, then click on the next image, the one about 'saving humanity', and you can search using ascii ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (upper as lowercase are the same), optionally with digits inside, for a selection of words found on top at the front of most webpages. As for how to anglify a word written in another language, you have to try out what works -- the rules for translation into the ascii set e.g. from something like the rather different russian language are simplistic and not done according to the context in which the letters appear. Once you learn how to work with this search engine, and learn how to do search-within-a-page when you get many results with the browser 'find-text-in-page' command, you will see that your overall productivity in all areas of life is enhanced, and the freedom from imposed simulations of 'contexts' (such as by boolean 'AND' across a lot of the internet) essentially turns out to be stimulating, because it is predictable, straightforward, and honest in a computer program mechanical way that you can and will learn to harness. But now, for the archive. In the archive, we keep the same type of sequence as in the economy.htm news section -- namely, the newest on top.

Or are there infinitely many? / There are not infinitely many. But there are a great many more than even the most sensitive instruments created by human beings are anywhere near detecting. : Is the universe expanding? And if so, is the rate of expansion shifting? / To speak of whether 'the universe' is expanding or not means that you are attempting to visualise the boundaries of a region which is so vastly beyond what typical human imagination can fathom, that it can be said that the question is best left unanswered if put in an impatient manner. Rather, with humility to the greatness beyond human knowledge you are attempting to intuit here -- is the manifest universe relatively constant in size? And if so, is there a sense in which there is a kind of expansion going on WITHIN that relative constancy? And then, is this expansion having rates, so that it itself is not constant but sometimes on the increase and sometimes on the decrease? Yes, yes, and yes -- to answer those three questions. : How, if the answers to the above is yes, can there be expansion? / There are greater patterns which apply than those found to apply locally within a solar system. There are subtle shifts of meaning of gravitation. The solar system is a 'super-model' pattern which keeps a coherence going, making some of these solar systems capable of supporting life on a suitable planet within them. Outside, in free space, there is on-going creation of matter. There are fluctuations to the rate and pervasiveness of this process. Such creation processes may lead to a flying apart, to some extent, of all galaxies in a region. That is logical, to give room for new creation processes. : How then do the boundaries arise? / It doesn't take all that much further deduction along the lines suggested when dimensions were relativised to each other, in what I claim to be a sketchy format (viz., that of Albert Einstein), to come to the point of view that the dimensions are organically entwined rather than mechanical holders of events. These dimensions do have natural circularities, they do not just extend. So space as such fall off and there is a sucking in of what touches these boundaries in a process reversely analogous to matter creation. Thus, there is an economy in the resirculation of the matter of the manifest universe. : How is this not bigbangism? / Where is the 'big bang'? It is an attempt to confine the creation processes to a spot by extrapolating a lot of unseen processes based on the scarce evidence picked up at one planet, using bits and pieces of technology which doesn't reach very far at all. It is an attempt to implant human rediculous simplicity on processes which, when seen in a more true, intelligent form, do not lend themselves to be described by such blank maps as in bigbangism. In addition, the initial lack of clarity in how Albert Einstein sought to put absolute continuity into the view of space has been propelled into a massive lack of clarity by tring to speak of 'infinitesimal points', whether as an assumed 'big bang' or as the much talked about -- but as yet not closely enquired into -- phenomena which have been attributed to match the theory of 'black holes'. : So there are no black holes? / What is correct is that when stars burn their light fuel up, a condensation into heavier stuff may happen after a socalled super-nova explosion, where contraction of the rest-matter of the star lead to the formation of a super-intense matter region. This intensity is a kind of peculiar piece of rock, around which certain almost lightening events occur -- I call them 'blue-black finitons'; this is near to some aspects of black hole theory except that no matter the size of the star will we not get into an eradication nor an inversion of the matter. The very structure of manifest matter is such as to allow a certain finite maximum intensity, and the curvature associated with gravitation is so as to allow a certain corresponding finite maximum intensity, and this cannot be challenged by any super-nova explosion. The result is no infinitesimal singularity but a finite structure, a finiton. However there are quantum fluctuations and so some effects emerge, so it is not black but blue-black (by using the metaphor of light). : What happens to matter sucked into such a finiton? / The finiton can absorb a certain amount but eventually new types of phenomena arise, as it doesn't have limitless room to tuck things away in it. : Darwinists have suggested that the universe is full of life, for the quantity of possible life-supporting planets may be so very vast. Many have further proposed that a segment of this life may have evolved into civilisations, with technology and so on. Is this wrong? / It is right that the universe is full of life but the whole approach of darwinism in ANY form is a concoction which is made in total ignorance of the coherence pervading universe nonlocally as one can easily philosophically surmise may be the case by looking into the phenomena -- not the theory, but the phenomena -- discussed in laboratories also working on quantum physics in the 20th century and onwards. Darwinism tries to make the whole by throwing pieces around and injecting millions or billions of years. But even trillions of years would not properly groom the coherence aspects of even one single healthy adult human being. You see the billionaires on Earth trying to buy themselves out of their decay -- buying organs ripped from the bodies of poor people -- this is the real trash status of life science on Earth. Life, to human scientists, is a total mystery: and especially human life. To tamper with life is easy: but to tamper with life is no proof whatosever of having a proper theory of it. And most of the life of the human being is in terms of matter and energies which are more subtle than that which can be measured -- but hinted at, if one in a relaxed way, a philosophical way, muses over nonlocality and such. : When you say 'more subtle forms of matter', are you saying that there is a great deal more to the universe than that which is observable? / The word 'observable' is a giant one, I wouldn't easily use that. Even in some forms of cosmological quantum theory it is surmised that manifest matter -- the universe of stars and galaxies and planets and such -- is a mere surface scratch on top of an ocean of energy. I assert that this is the intuitively appropriate position to take; but I go further than that, and suggest that there is a higher order to the subtle aspects of the universe. This is prior to experienced flow of time, prior to the imagined billions of years before Earth's manifestation of life, and this asserts something about human beings from a divine source. A NEW LOW AS FAR AS SCIENTIFIC JOURNALISM GOES -- In San Francisco Chronicle, which -- apart from that piece -- is one of the more reflective news channels [As of 2011:5:6 (early morning, as for GMT hours)] Author of comment can contacted at atiroal@yoga6d.org] It could be a joke -- a kind of piece a student in the theory of science could have written just to see how many points one can get seriously wrong in one single short article on science. For the sake of argument, I'll suppose it is. You can read the joke in the acknowledgements, if you consult the site Sfgate.com, a rather worthy world news channel, apart from the fact it is owned by the tycoon Hearst and that they forgot to put the date April 1st to this one. Since it is a joke, as I take it, from their side, I will not spend very much time on dismantling it. It is done fairly simply. For further reading, look around in my own works. * We will first note that it is part of the THEORY, not the prediction of the theory, of the general relativity theory (GRT) made by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century, that the dimensions of time and space are curved wherever there is gravitation; * And that there have been numerous INSTANCES OF CONFIRMATION of the general view that processes involving time are affected by gravitation in a way similar to how acceleration affects them; * While these instances of confirmation -- which also, many decades ago, concerned Earth's gravitation -- the more dramatic view which is the core tenet of GRT that the very dimensions themselves are altered, obviously cannot itself be confirmed. * Rather, what has been and still is confirmed is that there are numerical correlations connecting, among other things, duration, gravitation and acceleration * The theory that puts TIME ITSELF to the fourth dimension in GRT is but one of a whole set of possible theories to account for such a correlation. * A less drastic theory would say, for instance, that there is a dimension of something like process duration -- not TIME ITSELF -- which is woven together somehow with space and that this is curved somehow where energy and matter persists, as in my own super-model theory * But even if one does believe in the very drastic view of GRT, Einstein was not among the believers that this should imply whether black holes nor big bangs; * In order to see clearly why alternatives to GRT are important, one must realise that GRT as postulated by Einstein cannot even be formulated without a certain idea, let us call it Z, which may be a mathematical fiction, indeed even a fiction which is incoherent * As for this idea Z there have been some key thinkers in mathematics who has doubted its clarity. I have produced reductio ad absurdum proofs showing that it is an incoherent idea. * This idea Z was used by Einstein in formulating GRT but it is even more used, and over-zealously so, in formulating the singularity idea, without which both Black Hole theory and Big Bang theory is nought. * A certain group of theory-of-science-ignorant scientists, dominating the present substandard state of cosmological physics along the lines that Stephen Hawking initiated, have consistently avoided exploring alternative interpretations to the numerical data involving cosmos, and got away with it, so far, only because there are so few in the field who has got any insight into anything they say * These people need money and get money by purporting that their expensive experiments touch on core insights into reality -- and so they need journalists who, unlike Sfgate.com, do not joke with them, but take them seriously * This idea Z is that of the infinitely small, which is nevertheless not nothing. * So, SfGate, your Z Z Z . . apparent slumber was perhaps a bit funny, but now wake up, get the April 1 labels right, and please for the future learn to indicate to your readers that which you know very well: that, on the one hand, ideological poppygock by dogmatic folks needing money in the name of science, and, on the other hand, the art of wonder and scepticism over any too-quick interpretation of empirical research data called 'science', are two widely different things to all thinking people (for further reading, see also what I term 'neopopperian science').
