Go Figure...H2O

A long time ago, like during the Jurassic, I took a class with a Professor who could prove the Existence of God by applying, of all things, Thermodynamic Equations.

The First Law of Thermodynamics holds that there is Conservation of Energy; it can neither be Created nor Destroyed, only Converted from one form to another. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, while not violating the First Law, holds that Entropy always Increases, such that the amount of usable energy in a system dissipates over time. The Second Law is a unique law of physics in that it deals with Time and its Direction. The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that as a system approaches Absolute Zero the Entropy of the System approaches a well-defined Minimum (a Constant, but not Zero). {Absolute Zero, the thermodynamic null point, is the point at which atoms transmit no thermal energy, or are completely at rest and cannot get any colder. This is defined as 0 K, where K is the thermodynamic absolute temperature Kelvin scale.}

APageInTheLife deals with selected topics, but the main idea behind almost every post has to do with Language and Meaning (and of course, God), so it would not be surprising to find that Thermodynamics also drives or applies to Linguistics.

In a recent paper Nature, Evolution, Culture, Free will and Morals: A Thermodynamic Singularity, Charles H.M. Beck, Professor Emiretus Dept. of Psychology, University of Alberta- Edmonton, Canada writes:

"Human cultural activity in the form of artistic
expression and aesthetic appreciation may be viewed as manifestations
of the Second Law. The evolution of human
language provided a basis for the accumulation, storage and transmission
of information and is widely regarded as a key element in the
development of human culture.

The concept of the transformation of energy has been successfully
applied to linguistic communication. Art forms, encapsulated
universally in ritualized communal celebrations involving decoration,
storytelling, music, dance/drama performance, and feasting,
serve to increase the rate of energy transfer in human groups
compared to the group member working individually.

....To sum up, salient features of human culture
including language, artistic expression and appreciation,
spiritual experiences and life satisfaction may be seen as a manifestations of effective energy transformation."

What does this preamble about linguistics, thermodynamics, and God have to do with the subject of this post, Water, you might wonder?

It leads us to Question how we can be in any position to Say anything about God, when we don't even have a very good understanding about the most abundant substance found on Earth--Water (H20).
Since the late 1940's scientists, either through simulations or experiments, have noticed that bulk water, when supercooled below its melting temperature (TM) at about 235 K (below which it crystallizes), approaches a Thermodynamic Singularity (TS) at 228K. It is during its supercooled metastable state that the anomalies in water's thermodynamic properties become pronounced, showing a power law divergence toward the singular temperature 228 K.

Now, we don't have to cool water down that far to observe 'anomolous' behavior, since we are all familiar with its other 'anomalous property' of becoming less dense, not more, when it is cooled down to its solid form, ice. Water expands to occupy 9% more volume as ice, which is why ice floats on liquid water.

But what is remarkable at this critical triple point, 228 K, is that supercooled metastable water undergoes large structural fluctuations and fragile-to-strong dynamic cross-over (FST). The fragile-to-strong dynamic transition (FST) of bulk liquid water at about 228 K results from the structure change at the thermodynamic liquid-liquid phase transition from normal H2O to strongly tetrahedral H2O.

Surah 2 Al-Baqara (The Calf)
وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُوَءٍ
وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَن يَكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ فِي أَرْحَامِهِنَّ
إِن كُنَّ يُؤْمِنَّ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ
وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ إِنْ أَرَادُواْ إِصْلاَحًا
وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ
وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكُيمٌ 2:228

Seemingly, Sign 2:228 deals with family law in that it mentions divorcing women, while awaiting a divorce, are expected to يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ 'lie in wait' for 3 periods (3 menstrual cylces) prior to finalizing the divorce in the event that the woman may be carrying a viable pregnancy, in which case the couple should wait until the child is born and the pregancy should not be concealed just to get on with the divorce. If she decides she wants a reconciliation, it is expected that she and her husband work things out, but while both the man and the woman have the same rights in finalizing the divorce, the man is said to have "a precedent," in the matter; literally stated وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ as "a degree above her (the devorcee/not women in general)" (which brings us back to cooking, but not so fast).

But, if family issues are not a concern for the rest of us, Sign 2:228 is still germane to our experience here on Earth; because let's face it, not everything on Earth has to be about men and women and their relationships; there is a whole bunch of other stuff out there--like Water. And Sign 2:228, while on the surface is setting out procedures during divorce, is simultaneously propounding everything to do with metastable water and its supercooled anomolies at 228 K, by specifically mentioning مُطَلَّقَاتُ 'absolute', بِرَدِّ 'chillness/coldness/refrigeration,' ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُوَءٍ 'triple point/period', أَرْحَامِهِنَّ 'matrices' and a host of other terms connected with metastable H2O under investigation in confined spaces such as nano pores,* including that during certain simulations the number of successful molecular transfers for liquid-liquid equilibrium at this thermodynamic singularity (228 K) is about 2 N whereas it is at least 10 N or greater at higher temperatures for liquid-vapor equilibrium (N is the total number of molecules in the simulation; for liquid-vapor and liquid-liquid equilibrium in the cited reference, N was 850 and 1600, respectively).

With this approach, Sign 2:228 may be understood in a less anthropologic standpoint. For instance, the word مُطَلَّقَاتُ with a primary meaning 'divorcees' or 'females about to have a marriage annulled or get absolutely/completely seperated/detached/distanced/liberated/freed from an existing relationship/connection' may lead to the consideration that 'female' in engineering terms describes a part that has a recess, designed to receive a corresponding projecting part; and in botany the 'female' is the part of the flower that has carpels and no stamens, and produces seeds.


The words 'divorce' and 'absoluteness' are related in that the Latin 'absolutum' means 'loosened from' or 'seperated,' and this is an important connection to make since in mathematical logic the word مُطَلَّقَاتُ , in addition to meaning 'absolute', also means 'complete' such that what is being discussed is not 'partial absoluteness' in a mathematical sense. And while something is said to be absolute if it has the same truth value in each of some class of structures (or models; where structure consists of a set along with a collection of finitary functions and relations which are defined on it), the many meanings of the word مُطَلَّقَاتُ (mutliqat) also include: unbounded, unconditional and infinite. And it is the word 'infinite' which points to the special 'infinatiry" case usually found in "the logic proposed for quantum mechanics, which depending on the use of subspaces of Hilbert space as propositions, operations such as taking the intersection of subspaces are used," since in general this fails as a finitary operation.

Having described these 'divorcees' as 'recessed' particles (holes?) in this manner/matter, Sign 2:228 proscribes that they ' يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ' (yatarbssna bianfusihin), which literally means 'sneak/lurk by/within themselves.' Taken in context, the meaning is clearly that they 'lie in waiting by themselves' or have no 'intercourse/contact/communication' for a 3-month period prior to 'divorcing'.

The root word 'tarbas' also means 'thrips' which is a very small insect, one of whose defining characteristics is that it is very small and likes to hide in confined spaces, making it very difficult to detect. So, this can also be understood as a defining characteristic of the subject here.

It is interesting to note that another meaning to the word yatarbas is 'ambush' which points to a property of a 'surprise attack' or 'trap unexpectedly' as well as to 'enmesh' or 'entangle.' That they 'yatarbassn bianfusihn' is reflexive, which means that they 'conceal themselves.'

So, moving right along, the alotted time for this type of 'furtive' behavior concerning 'divorcing women' is 3-menstrual cycles. For the non-anthropologic counterpart discussed here, it is to be '3-periods' or cycles. That menstruation is mentioned with the deliberate use of the word ' قُرُوَءٍ' (quruwatin) is intriguing since a 'period' not only pertains to 'time' and a 'cycle' or 'phase,' but menstruation is very much tied in with the 'lunar orbit'. This indicates that a physical entity is going around a center, much like the Moon orbits the Earth, experiencing regular displacement and not just that of it being a time cycle as would be expected in, say, a sine function.

Knowing that the Moon is strongly associated with tides, what's being described here is also related to tidal effects. Tides can be described very effectively using gravitational forces and friction, and tidal levels may be successfully forecast using chaos theory (local models).

'a bump/kick up' etc., which seems to indicate that this activity leads to raising the 'male' a step/quantum up to the 'female' level that had been established when the matter under consideration 'restructured' or 'reformed'...} This begs the question, 'Is there a Mathematician in the House?'

...not exactly what I need a Mathematician for, but Thanks!

And I'm almost certain the lesson is not lost on physicists working with condensed matter, since the male/female mentioned throughtout 2:228, while indexed to water's supercooled liquid-liquid equilibrium at 228k, behave like 'excitons' in other systems which at low temperature and low pressure have anticorellated entropy and specific volume fluctuations, like semiconductors SiO2 and GeO2, and other tetrahedrally-coordinated liquids.

In conclusion, the Attributes of the 'Most Dominant Force (Allah)' mentioned here are:

وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكُيمٌ
'hakim' and '3aziz' which indicate that It Reinforces (Boosts) Discreetly (in a Subtle/Judicious way).

A Day At The Beach

Sometime in 2001

Him: Look at you, waving at that helicopter as if they can see you!

Her: They came out of nowhere--I was just letting them know that I can see them.

Him: To them you look like a drop of rain in an Ocean…do you mind if I ask why you are just sitting in your car, why you don’t step out and walk down to the beach. It’s a beautiful day!

Her: Not feeling well.

Him: Why? You don’t look like there is anything wrong with you.

(Protracted silence)

Him: What exactly is wrong with you?

Her: I had a toxic exposure… I have a headache…they say it’s asthma…it feels more like seizures. (With every packet of information she is forced to relay her agitation grows more evident; she had come here to withdraw and not have to deal with people only to find this random passerby with nothing better to do but engage in conversation).

Him: Oh…I see…where was the explosion?

Her: There was no explosion, just a slow chronic buildup of toxins in a tight building where I work…

Him: Yes, but when was the explosion? There is usually an explosion in these cases (he says pensively).

Her: (slowly shaking her head No).

Him: Where do you work?

Her: Government office.

Him: (Nods knowingly) I see--Government! Do you see that building there? I think that it is a government building (he casually points to a lot across the street)

Her: There is no building there…(the irregular knoll didn’t appear to be large enough for a 2-bedroom home let alone a government building and the strictly residential neighborhood was far too opulent).

Him: Sure there is, don’t you see the drive way; the access road around the back?

Her: Excuse me, I am going to open the car door now and step out. He backs up to allow the door clearance.

Her: (Looks at the spot he had pointed to and Wonders what he is talking about, clearly there was no building standing there) No, there is no building there that I can see.

Him: Well, perhaps when you come back in a few years…my name is John, by the way, what’s yours?

Her: RXXXX

Him: AXXX?

Her: No-- RXXXX.

Him: SXXXX.

Her: (Exasperated by now at having to repeat her name 3 times, and wondering how he can know her older sisters’ names) It’s RXXXX.

Him: Oh! RXXXX! (He says while at the same time shifting the expression on his face and his voice to look and sound just like her late father)

Her: It was nice to meet you, John, I think I’ll go down to the beach and catch a prayer.

Him: (He holds out his hand and they shake hands farewell, then he resumes his initial demeanor) Good-bye…for now. (and he winks impishly, so quickly that she doubts seeing him wink).

As John watches her make her way down to the shore and he realizes exactly how she finally got the help she needed, he laughs his head off!

When You're A Zero

There is no zero in the first 31 digits of Pi !


Shake it like a ladder to the Sun
Makes me feel like a madman on the run
Find me, never, never far gone
So get your leather, leather, leather on, on, on, on

You're a Zero....
What's your name? 
No one's gonna ask you
Better find out where they want you to go
Try and hit the spot, get to know it in the dark
Get to know it whether you're crying, crying, crying, oh, oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher? --Song lyrics Zero--Yeah Yeah Yeahs 





Some undefined while back some unidentified One, asked what the Zero song lyrics mean.
Apparently 'You're a Zero' is meaningless to all those Ones out there.

The human  body is essentially an organic electrochemical system. 

And as such it would be expected to have, and as it turns out, does have an electromagnetic resonance frequency.

For the Human brain, brain waves range according to the following frequencies:

Alpha wave-- (8-12 Hz)
Delta wave – (0.1–4 Hz)
Theta wave – (4–7 Hz)
Mu wave – (8–13 Hz)
Beta wave – (12–30 Hz)
Gamma wave – (25–100 Hz)



And it is speculated that in other parts of the body they range as follow:

Spinal Column --(10-12 Hz)
Chest Wall-- (50-100 Hz)
Feet (Standing with knees flexed vs. Rigid posture)-- (2 -20 Hz)

So, conceivably, an articulating Human antenna (that's why all the antenna jokes).

And if some brilliant Entity wanted to mess with the natural order of things and Enhance the Human (for lack of a better description), these frequency ranges may be modified to achieve unexpected or by God's Will Miraculous Outcomes.

It is commonly known that the Sky has a natural frequency and in counterpoint so does the Earth, by way of a geomagnetic frequency radiation.

A person walking around with their feet on the ground and their head in air (especially, the Sky) is making contact with both the Sky and the Earth. And generally, it is not of any great consequence and taken for granted that they can walk around, eating, playing, working, and at the end of a day, sleeping.

That is until they 'short circuit' due to some clever manipulation, or frequency matching, or 'enhancement' that would tune the body's natural frequencies to effectively 'connect' or 'resonate' with the Sky-to-Earth open circuit.

In essence, Zero out, that individual and their once-taken-for-granted oblivious erstwhile life.

Swords, Bows, Triangle UFOs And USOs

Sound Check

Caption

The Rider Says: Allow me to illustrate.
Dan Says: I know I heard her speak English, but what did she just say?!!

The flight in does include a pass over the Ganges so it would be a grave oversight not to mention Hinduism and its interesting parallels to Judeo-Christian-Muslim traditions. There are obvious similarities between the final reincarnation or Avatar of Vishnu as Lord Kalki (Kalkin) mentioned in the sacred Purana texts and the 'Return of the King' in Revelations and a number of passages in the Old Testament and Quran about horsemen and 'riders'.

Lord Kalki is often depicted riding or walking with his horse and is said to descend in order to restore dharma (the system of law) and cleanse the Earth of evil. So far, according to Hindus, Vishnu has made 9 descents as various Avatars, and the last descent as Lord Kalki is expected, just as the 'Second Coming of the Christ.'

Clearly, Vedic literature describes various modes of transportation or vimanas that serve as vehicles for these types of descents or ascents. Since I have no knowledge of Sanskrit, and don't think I can pick up another language, I can't say for sure what exactly these texts are describing; but it would seem a worthwhile effort to independently explore these texts in light of our current understanding of UFO sightings.

Depending on the source there have been various interpretations pertaining to the nature of these riders and their mounts and the props they carry and what these elements portend. For instance, one rider ('horseman of the Apocolypse') may be carrying a Bow or a Sword or a Scroll/Book, seated on a horse of one color or another. The above representation is a good example of just how these chargers (or Coursers (the word may also mean 'Antiquities' but I prefer 'Ancients') as referred to in Surah 100) have been a subject open to wide interpretation; as above, the Rider is supposed to be weilding a Sword, but it may just as well be a Bow, or even a 'Triangle' UFO.
Surah 40

(الْفُلْكِ 'al-fulook' means; orbits, ships, (or perhaps 'orbit ships') , not 'al-falaq' which has to do with astronomy and astrophysics; I selected 'ships' but 'orbits' makes just as much sense)
Surah 55
Al-Rahman (The Merciful)
(55:24) وَلَهُ الْجَوَارِ الْمُنشَآتُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْأَعْلَامِ
(55:24) And His are the neighboring الْجَوَارِ facilities ( الْمُنشَآتُ installations) in the Sea like flags (ensignia, banners)
alternatively, another acceptable meaning is:
(55:24) And His are the cruising لْجَوَارِ (running, operating, sailing…,,at any rate—moving or working) structures ( الْمُنشَآتُ platforms, assemblages-- including ships, computers, constructions, ‘bridges’, etc.) in the Ocean like banners (ensignia, flags-- something lofty or raised like a flag)
(Can 55:24 be referring to Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs)?)
(Note: Pertaining to the above Ayah 55:24 I can not take credit for this discovery. After starting this post I hoped that I was not doing anything wrong and while I was reading Surah 55, I suddenly had a compulsion to count the number of occurrences for the refrain 'which of your God's favors can you deny' which happen to be 31 and subtract to get 24 and this pointed to 55:24. Using a free online Arabic-English dictionary (babylon.com) yielded the results stated above).
Is there anyone out there still looking for God?
(وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ (50:1
(50:1) We created man (humans) and We know what his innermost self whispers to him and We are closer to him than his jugular.
Now, I think it is only polite and equitable to stop claiming that these UFOs/USOs are something any government built or a product of some black budget project and give credit where it is due; Quran was revealed beginning 632 AD and the USA was just a twinkle in our forefathers’ eyes in 1776 AD—what’s been the distraction all this time?
Don’t let's start with the ‘where is God,’ ‘there is no justice,’ ‘bad things happen to good people,’ mantras either; clearly God took the trouble to inform us and gave us a free nature for self-determination—are we some 2 year olds that can’t take responsibility for our own mess and clean it up by now? Or maybe some of us (like toddlers) have yet to grasp the concept of object permanence since we keep looking for God as though ‘He’s’ MIA or AWOL…or just a figment of our imagination when the Signs are telling us that it is we who are a ‘figment’ of ‘His’. {By the way, did you hear the one about the fig and the date...}

Synchronicity

In the New Guinea highlands each number is associated with a body part, so that the word for "three" might be the same word used to denote the middle finger.
