If the planet was populated only by music lovers, would there still be wars?
A weird post, but the thought has been with me all my life. Certainly I am a pacifist, why are there so few and far between? Why are there persons who are genetically created to be active starters, participators and supporters of wars?
Anyway, allow me to present an example of my sort of enjoyment and life support!
All my life I have wondered, as have many others surely, representing scientifically educated persons not trained in Space. Astronomy and Relativity Sciences, the impossibility of understanding the current science concerning Black Holes. The article on which I venture to comment here, shows that the experts themselves, perhaps starting with Einstein and including Hawking, are not able to offer anything but solutions based on their incredibly calculated scientific mathematics. After all, that is all they have, no laboratory or obviously physical contact with which to work.
It is encouraging to me, to venture such an uneducated article, because the above experts do actually admit to the impossibilities of knowing that they are in fact makingincontrovertible conclusions.
This is the main incentive from the post I wish to publish here,
“The field has, for some reason, largely ignored the elephant in the room and hasn’t yet stopped to question the singularity. Until now, at least. The problem is the singularity itself, this idea that a black hole is just infinity and that’s the end of it. But if a collapsing star creates an infinity, that calls the whole picture into question. Is it really geometry folding neatly into an infinite point? Look at the word we use often. Collapse. Einstein used that word. So did Penrose and Hawking. But they were describing matter contracting to a singularity, not a full geometric failure of spacetime itself. Matter falls inward, geodesics run out, and they called that the end. What they did not say is that the geometry carrying all of it has a breaking point of its own. Geometry does not fold into a point. It fails. It breaks apart. And what is left in its wake, the empty void we call a black hole, is what remains after the break. Or at least, that is what newly published theories are talking about in 2026. “
An attempt at applying what I consider ‘commonsense’, my education taught me that a black hole was certainly not a “hole”, but it appeared as such, because you could not “see it”. Because it was in fact a physical body with sufficient gravitational force to attract even light photons!
Can it be argued that if it was a hole. you would actually see through it? Is it being suggested that photons actually disappear into it ?? Similarly atoms of matter ?? Or, actually are they really there, contributing to the enormous gravitational mass?
“Gravitational Collapse and Space-Time Singularities”, and “matter contracting to a singularity” are terms used in the presented article, apparently based on human created mathematics, that bear no resemblances to anything that can be envisaged as reality!
This is a cheeky presentation of WUWT’s recent post concerning the sad, increasingly annoying, public propaganda that constitutes the brainwashing of even the children who are setting off into a life of detrimental life-time attacks on their forthcoming future well-being!
I am approaching the end of my own life-span and cannot SHOUT OUT loudly enough, about the devastating future that they are being encouraged to accept, without the necessary knowledge and understanding, and with the gullibility of their parents who fail to use their brains to see reality!
Orwell’s “1984” is becoming a reality, snigger if you like, but denial fails to achieve any possibility of a credible future for your children!
On Monday, the Financial Times published a book review by Pilita Clark — the paper’s Associate Editor who writes on “corporate life and climate change” — that opened with the following lament:
The UK is a G7 country with a famed civil service that has been delivering world-leading climate change policies for the best part of 20 years. So how could it be so bad at dealing with the floods, heatwaves and fires wreaking so much damage on its people and economy?
Let’s set aside Lord Jon Moynihan’s withering criticism of the “famed” UK civil service and the country’s “world-leading climate change policies” which stand out as not much more than narcissistic folly pursued by an economically illiterate governing class. The four books under Ms. Clark’s approving gaze carried titles freighted with millennial dread. Reviewing them cursorily but approvingly, Clark concluded that “the state of the climate is disturbing for any parent today” and that “adults have much to learn from children, not least their moral clarity about a climate problem that will be the defining challenge of their lives”. The salmon-pink newspaper, it seems, has extended its remit from capital markets and corporate earnings to the moral instruction of British parents.
One might be forgiven for reading this as satire. It is not. It is, rather, a characteristic specimen of what has become the dominant mode of climate journalism in the mainstream Western press: a seamless fusion of advocacy, emotional appeal and selective empiricism in which no counterevidence need intrude and no sceptical voice need apply. Like the BBC, which long ago decided that ‘balance’ on climate was a form of irresponsibility, the FT operates on the settled premise that the science is closed, the catastrophe is imminent and the only honourable response is alarm. What the FT’s Pilita Clark offers her readers is not objective journalism but liturgy. “

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” – Albert Einstein, who also said:
"The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and the press, usually the church as well. under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and makes its tool of them!" And,
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
