Wouldn't you be just making the same problem bigger. The problem being 1 thing existing 2 times at once. aguy2

If one where to physically travel back in time your constituents could not displace your constituents as they where then, due to conservation. aguy2

By 'Wernicke's area' do you mean that liitle walnut shaped gizmo that looks like it was pinned on the left side at the last minute? aguy2

bascule, Thank you very much for what seems to be validating information. You might want to look in the 'Classical Mechanics' forum, 'A.M. Conservation?', post #13 This new evidence reeks of a pulse/jet cosmological model. aguy2

That would sure seem reasonable to me to. The only problem is all the empirical evidence says 'genetically transmitted information' is all about structure, structure, structure. Just because lots of beer comes in cans, doesn't mean there is any causal relationship between cans and beers. aguy2

and does not seem to carry information as to an organisms behaviors. Thus such statements as: do not seem to be true. Do you agree? aguy2

Doesn't a diluted version of MAD seem to be working in regards to India and Pakistan? aguy2

Has 'genetically transmitted information' proven not to be the 'holy grail' most had been hoping for; particularly when it comes to behaviors? aguy2

Are you concidering the 'speed of time' to be something akin to a 'flow' of time? aguy2

"the question of the source of conserved quantum and macro angular momentum" Severian's explaination would seem valid if the question only concerned 'macro' or 'cosmolgical' angular momentum. Admittedly I might be the only one asking questions like, "Have we been wasting 80 years of time and resources searching for the connection between quantum and cosmological gravitational effects, when we should have been looking for why the very big and the very small do not seem like direct expressions of one another?", but 1 is enough. The question involved certainly would make a good topic for another thread. aguy2

Yes. I am presenting no direct evidence of a rotating BB event. A good theory of the BB event must 'accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and must make definite predictions about the results of future observations'. I am contending that in light of these requirements the cosmological models that presume a BB event with zero angular momentum are beginning to break down. They do not answer the question as to why the universe is not half matter and half anti-matter. They do not answer the question of the source of conserved quantum and macro angular momentum. In order to explain the probability that there was such a thing as an inflationary era the models need such things as temporary reversals of gravitational effects, and in order to explains such things as the observations that seem to indicate that the expansion of the universe began to accelerate 3 1/2 billion years ago the models need 'fudge factors' like 'dark energy'. I think I am making a rational contention that these questions can be adequently addressed with an assumption that the pre-inflationary era was rotating. aguy2

1) at inception the BB event displays a high degree of angular momentum Direct observation of the of the nature of the universe previous to the 'inflationary era' may prove to be impossible. As far as I know the 'cosmic microwave background' is as far back as we can see, and the CMB is likely a post inflationary phenomenon. It may prove possible to determine that the visible particle universe is a result of a 'jet' or 'pulse'; although if the resulting 'conic projection' was sufficently large, it would prove to be very difficult to tell the difference between it and an 'isometric expansion' from a non-rotating source. aguy2

bascule, Thank you for addressing my 2nd question in post #13, but what about the question I raised in question 1 plus 3? I realize that this is only a thought experiment on your part, but without addressing the 'problem' of the origin of the oscillating/cyclic universe isn't the 'game' rather pointless? aguy2

I've made some tactical contacts in regards to adding 'military' and the other 'social (soft!) sciences' to sfn, so I guess I asked for this: The majority of Iranians are of military age and they represent an abnormaly large demographic 'bump'. They have been decently fed and decently educated, and although I rather think they would rather 'bump and grind', if they accept 'conscription' and try to be good soldiers any 'adventurism' on the part of the US could get in real trouble. We have no idea what a 51% majority of their parliament would decide. It would be a good bet that they wouldn't be 'happy campers'. I bet they think they made a good decision when they didn't get involved. I rather suspect their armed forces would do their duty. aguy2

What is 'WiSci'? aguy2

Bascule, You seem to readily respond to 'trolling' but seem ignore legitimate questions like the ones I asked in post #13. What's up? Are you pretending that if you ignore such questions they will somehow go away? aguy2

My post was meant to be generally supportive of 'sunspots' secondary observation. I contend that it was well within bounds of the questions raised by the initiator of the thread. I'm sorry, I still don't seem to understand what you mean here. Are you saying that human cultural communities seem to be acting as if they are 'mini-species'. If you are I would tend to agree with you on this point. I was using the definition of 'species' in its strictest 'biological' sense. I didn't mean to seem to ignore this fact. I personally know a lesbian couple who are exemplary parents to their 2 adopted children. My point was that 'deterioration' generally has to do with "the achievement of an 'ideal state of perfection', which I contend can only lead to stasis or deterioration, both of which can 'dead end' the macro-process we are involved in." Sunspot and I contend that some homosexuals seem to closely approximate this state. The 'deterioration' I was alluding to had nothing to do with 'homosexuality' per se, but had everything to do with my contention that 'ideal states of perfection' are 'illegitimate and counter-productive goals'. aguy2

Once they have acquired a stockpile of weapons grade material, occupation would be the only way to stop them from assembling functional weapons. Turkey is a functional democratic/republic. We were precluded from using Turkish territory by a parlimentary majority. This majority might not stand idle if we invaded yet another neighboring Muslim nation. aguy2

Normally 'cold' is not concidered a 'thing', while something like 'heat' is concidered a 'thing'. If cold where to be temporarily thought of as a thing, we might see cold as a thing that tends to 'attract' heat. Carrying this analogy further we might see 'stillness' as being attractive to 'movement', 'dark' as being attractive to 'light', 'vacuum' as being attractive to 'air', ect. Is this something like the line of reasoning you experienced? aguy2

I think the above assumption is wrong, but nonetheless the fact remains that short of indefinitely occupying the Iranian Plateau with a multiple million man army, if they insist there isn't much we can do about it. aguy2 Ps. You do remember the Turks won't let us use their territory to even invade Iraq?

Are you saying 'no' because of the observed differences between the a.m. of sub-atomic particles and the a.m. of macro-structures? Seeing, that at least initially, the pre-inflationary BB event was not composed of particles, might not its form of angular momentum been more akin to that which observe in sub-atomic particles? I take this to mean that it still might have been possible for the a.m. of the pre-inflationary BB event to be reduced to the extent that it might partially collapse? aguy2
