Out of time?

Sep 01, 2009 in General

Time is actually speeding up (or collapsing). For thousands of years the Schumann Resonance or pulse (heartbeat) of Earth has been 7.83 cycles per second, The military have used this as a very reliable reference.

However, since 1980 this resonance has been slowly rising. It is now over 12 cycles per second! This mean there is the equalivant of less than 16 hours per day instead of the old 24 hours. Another intrepetation is – we, or rather Consciousness have been down this same road seven times before over the last 16 billion years.

Each of these cycles of Creation runs 20 times faster than the last one. The same amount of Creation is paced 20 times tighter. This is why time seems to be going so fast. It is not “time” but Creation itself that is accelerating. (see Mayan Calendar Central)

Where this comes from i don’t know, I have little time to think about it!

Experimentalist

Dec 17, 2008 in General, Nonsense

“Experimentalist” is a blanket term for all sorts of scientists engaged more in experimental activity than in the theoretical side of their sciences.

The word is essentially equivalent to “experimenter.” The latter word, however, emphasizes what the person is actually doing; “experimentalist,” by contrast, highlights what the person likes to do or finds important.

“Experimentalist” is also used in reference to a personality type that builds up gradually to a work. Here the term is not limited to science, but is frequently used in relation to artists. Famous “experimentalists” could include Cézanne, Mark Twain or Robert Frost. The opposite of being an Experimentalist is to be a Conceptualist.

Colloquially, an Experimentalist has been defined as “one who prefers to ascertain by finding out.”

The game that never took place

May 23, 2008 in General, Nonsense

Contrived it may sound, but watching the game ‘live’ was evidence for all to see.

Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow, 21 May 2008
Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea (Manchester United WIN 6-5 ON PENALTIES

A Murdock/Sky spectacular event, and hes no ‘crazy fool’.
The maintainer of SkyBet and live in-game betting, were strangely the majority of bets offered, being of a fixed outcome to the limit of full-time (in this case 90mins).

When the game went into half-time at Manchester United & Chelsea on one a piece, we started to realise something was up. A fair game you might say, though the informed would see the use of magnetic goal posts, and a metallic inner ball, some fear the use of helium gas injection.

The obvious playground antics in the second half, cued nicely to be mapped & graphed into ‘FIFA 2009′ console game. Play acted until both teams fully exhausted the full 90 minutes.

No great surprise there…
