Is the magnetic field of a magnet made of virtual particles?

Just to expand upon this, http://www.globalissues.org/issue/2/causes-of-poverty http://www.organicconsumers.org/fair-trade/cocoa072005.cfm

http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119215822413557069.html We have had economic growth for nearly fifty years, during that time the gap between the rich and the poor has widen considerably.

No, we are not stealing the resources, everyone worked for these resources. The world currently produces enough food for everyone, but the developing nations cannot access this food do to lack of payment. The American government actually pays farmers to destroy food to control the prices. Investigations show that the world will not last us forever, we need sustainability. But to have sustainability we must eradicate poverty. To do this we have to increase the level of consumption in developing nations and decrease it here. This will be impossible to do with a deregulated free-market.

My point was that because of our excessive consumption we indirectly generated poverty. To end poverty, we must lower our consumption here in United States. If every one lived like people do in united states then we would need five planets, we already live in 1.5 planets. I did not say capitalism doesn't work. What I was pointing out was the "What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen", as they say in economics. What we see is the high standard of living in United States. What is not seen is the increase of poverty. Do you not agree that we consume to much resources?

America only accounts for 5% of the worlds population yet consumes, 25%. A average person ins united states uses 25.7 acres of land when a guy in India only uses 1 acre of land. Our capitalistic system created poverty, because it acts on our selfish nature.

Our society is built on politics. We need to apply the scientific method to society.

I would say that humans decide what is good, based on scientific evidence. What humans needs most, is access to healthcare, food, shelter, water, sanitation, etc. You can build the entire society on technology, trying to reach sustainability and the only way to reach sustainability is to remove case poverty and insular poverty. To do that we must share resources, equally.

If you had a choice what sort of society would you live in? It can be any society you want.

Basically, what Robert Owen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Owen) originally planned, a system where humans work together in a mutual way to support all of society. One of the biggest problems I find with politics, is that it always seems to be based on opinion. Republicans have their opinion and Democrats have their own. I think politics would be better if politicians communicated like scientists do, using facts. Engineers wouldn't be able to build a plane if the welder stood up and performed a filibuster. Every society should be built on scientific principles. One of he main goals of science is to acquire knowledge so we can benefit ourselves.

Opps sorry, http://reactor-core.org/reality-hallucination.html

A interesting paper I read and decided to share with you. (Had no idea where to post it.) Humans basically live in bubbles of illusion.

Since, their was no matter in the first birth of the universe, I used a word that is associated with power 'energy'.

But economically it's still capitalistic.

I always wondered about that, because Soviet Russia wasn't really controlled by the people. Communism was supposed to be a suppression free society, yet Stalin suppressed Christians and men of other religions.

But Europe is not a "true" socialism, that true socialism was tried in the Soviet Union and it suppressed it's people. And finally fell apart.

“ . . . a socialist policy is abhorrent to the British ideas of freedom. Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state. It will prescribe for every one where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say. Socialism is an attack on the right to breathe freely. No socialist system can be established without a political police. They would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo, no doubt very humanely directed in the first instance.[90]” Winston Churchill. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism) I always understood socialism as "the means of production owned by the people" I never read anywhere were socialism was about destroying social justice or civil liberties. In fact, socialism was always for it. "There will be no war, no crime, no administration of justice, as it is called, no government. Besides there will be neither disease, anguish, melancholy, nor resentment. Every man will seek...the good of all. " -William Godwin, "Political Justice". Could we have a socialistic government without the need of a political police?

I think the most interesting health care system was Japans. Although the costs of treatment do fluctuate somewhat. Besides that it was a great system.

Daily show is categorized as 'a satire comedy show' although most people actually get their news from them. (Like me.)

I hear people say that the big bang wasn't big or a bang, they say it was a expansion of space-time. But you can say that a explosion is a rapid expansion of hot gas and flame..... I know that space-time expanded faster than light, but what about all the energy? How fast did it expand?

What I was asking was that, we don't really know if it's made of virtual particles. It could be something else.

In QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) virtual photons are absorbed by electrons and this is what we feel as force. But how does a electron physically absorb a photon?

But no direct way to know if the vacuum energy is actually made of virtual particles or some sort of elementary energy.

Oh thanks didnt know that
