Physicist Says Parallel Universes Definitely Exist And We May Soon Explore Them https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/physicist-says-parallel-universes-defi… Authored by Aaron Kesel via TheMindUnleashed.com, https://themindunleashed.com/2020/03/physicist-says-parallel-universes-defi… Physicist Sean Carroll Explains Parallel Universes to Joe Rogan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ZsDBMPQMI Theoretical physicist Sean Carroll expressed that clues in the small-scale structure of the universe point to the existence of numerous parallel worlds. The shocking comments were made on the Jeff [sic., actually Joe] Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast last year. Carroll says that the fact that tiny particles like electrons and photons don’t have one set location in the universe is evidence that there are many parallel universes. Recently, in a follow up interview with News.com.au, Carroll expanded his thoughts. “But there’s a lot more going on,” Carroll told News.com.au. “Not every world you imagine actually comes true.” https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/are-we-all-living-in-a-par… The common sense rules of physics that rule our lives everyday make sense to us but at very minuscule scales common sense breaks down altogether. At the quantum level, the empty vacuum of space is filled with tiny particles constantly popping in and out of existence. Bell’s theorem, a fundamental construct in quantum mechanics, may prove that multiverses exist. This theorem deals with situations where particles interact with each other, become entangled, and then go their separate ways, according to New Scientist. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2213756-a-classic-quantum-theorem-may-… “There are still equations, physical rules, patterns that must be obeyed. Some possible alternate worlds can come true. But not all of them,” Carroll said. In the past, Carroll has advanced some groundbreaking yet controversial theories on topics such as the Big Bang theory and the nature of time. He has said that the universe didn’t start in a huge explosion as most people now believe, but instead it is an infinitely old, constantly inflating entity in which time can run both forward and backward. For Carroll quantum physics is not something that can be broken down and explained in simpler terms. “As far as we currently know,” he writes[,] “Quantum mechanics isn’t just an approximation to the truth; it is the truth.” “Physics is stuck trying to understand the fundamentals of nature and the Big Bang,” Carroll said. “It’s time to take a step back and understand its foundations. It’s time to tackle our understanding of the quantum world.” In 2011 physicist Brian Greene wrote a book exploring the possibility called The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos. https://www.npr.org/2011/01/24/132932268/a-physicist-explains-why-parallel-… “You almost can’t avoid having some version of the multiverse in your studies if you push deeply enough in the mathematical descriptions of the physical universe,” Greene told NPR. “There are many of us thinking of one version of parallel universe theory or another. If it’s all a lot of nonsense, then it’s a lot of wasted effort going into this far-out idea. But if this idea is correct, it is a fantastic upheaval in our understanding.” Even Stephen Hawking suggested that, thanks to quantum mechanics, the Big Bang supplied us with an endless number of universes, not just one. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-43976977 Up until this point understanding quantum physics and its realms has been impossible, but Carroll hopes that is changing thanks to technology. “Now we’re getting better at that,” Carroll says. “Technology has improved. Maybe things are going to change.” Greene, Carroll, and Hawking may be right, and researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee want to find out if there are multiverses or mirror images of our own reality. The team was set to record experiments last year sending a beam of subatomic particles down a 50-foot tunnel, past a powerful magnet and into an impenetrable wall. https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.00767 “If it exists, it would form a bubble of reality nestling within the fabric of space and time alongside our own familiar universe, with some particles capable of switching between the two,” lead researcher Leah Broussard told New Scientist. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24232330-200-weve-seen-signs-of-a-mi… Into the Unknown: Researchers Think They've Proven the Existence of Dark Matter https://sputniknews.com/science/201708041056189579-dark-matter-energy-unive… 'Fascinating Time': Humanity Close to Getting First Data on Parallel Universes https://sputniknews.com/us/201706191054757151-scientist-cosmology-universes/ 'Fascinating Time': Humanity Close to Getting First Data on Parallel Universes https://sputniknews.com/us/201706191054757151-scientist-cosmology-universes/ Physicists Hope to Find ‘Cosmic Strings’ Explaining Why Big Bang Didn’t Destroy Our Universe https://sputniknews.com/science/202003031078465858-physicists-hope-to-find-… [:)] Parallel Universe: How Augmented Reality is Changing People's Lives https://sputniknews.com/trend/parallel_universe_augmented_reality_changing_…

"Covid-19", And the winner is...Big Pharma!
by Razer 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Be VERY afraid... of Hybrid Economic War agitprop. "The media hype and disinformation campaign regarding the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus have created a Worldwide atmosphere of fear and uncertainty following the launching of a global public health emergency by the WHO on January 30th. The fear campaign is ongoing. Panic and uncertainty. National governments and the WHO are misleading the public. “About 84,000 people in at least 56 countries have been infected, and about 2,900 have died” says the New York Times. What they fail to mention is that 98% of those cases of infection are in Mainland China. There are less than 5000 confirmed cases outside China. (WHO, February 28, 2020) While COVID-19 is a matter of Public Health concern, at the moment, there is no real pandemic outside Mainland China. Look at the figures. At the time of writing, the number of “confirmed cases” in the US was 64. A low number and the media is spreading panic. Meanwhile, there are 15 Million Cases of Influenza in the USA."

Trump for President Sues New York Times for Untruth, Bias, Animosity
by John Young 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

https://cryptome.org/2020/03/trump-v-nyt-complaint.pdf Defendant The New York Times Company knowingly published false and defamatory statements of and concerning plaintiff Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., claiming it had an "overarching deal" with "Vladimir Putin's oligarchy" to "help in the campaign against Hillary Clinton" in exchange for "a new pro-Russian foreign policy, starting with relief from the Obama administration's burdensome economic sanctions." The Times was well aware when it published these statements that they were not true. The Times' own previous reporting had confirmed the falsity of these statements. But The Times published these statements anyway, knowing them to be false, and knowing it would misinform and mislead its own readers, because of The Times' extreme bias against and animosity toward the Campaign, and The Times' exuberance to improperly influence the presidential election in November 2020.

US/CIA v. Joshua Schulte Jury Charge
by John Young 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

https://cryptome.org/2020/03/schulte-345.pdf (63 pages) "D. Adverse Inference You heard testimony from a Government witness named Michael, who the CIA placed on enforced administrative leave in August 2019. The Government only disclosed this information to the Defendant in the course of the trial. I instruct you that the Government should have disclosed the information regarding Michaels enforced administrative leave to the Defendant sooner. In evaluating the evidence, you can decide what weight, if any, to give to the Governments conduct on this issue. You may also consider whether Michaels appearance in Court and his testimony for the Government was influenced by his being on enforced leave." "E. Law Enforcement Officials You have heard testimony from a number of law enforcement officials. The Governments law enforcement witnesses do not deserve any more or less consideration, or greater or lesser weight than that of any other witness." "F. Central Intelligence Agency Witnesses You have also heard testimony from a number of witnesses who are either currently or were previously employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA. Some of these people work directly as officers of the CIA, and some of them work as contractors performing work for the CIA. I have allowed some of these witnesses to testify either by using a made-up namea pseudonymor just their first name. The disclosure of the witnesses true names and what they look like could potentially compromise their work at the CIA. Thats why those precautions were taken; but you should weigh the testimony of those witnesses just as you would any other witness, and not weigh it differently because they testified using a pseudonym or used their first name only." "G. Bias and Hostility In connection with your evaluation of the credibility of the witnesses, you should specifically consider evidence of resentment or anger which some Government witnesses may have toward the Defendant. Evidence that a witness is biased, prejudiced, or hostile toward the Defendant requires you to view that witness testimony with caution, to weigh it with care and subject it to close and searching scrutiny."

On healthy Libre/FLOSS communities - Blender by the numbers over 2019
by Zenaan Harkness 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

FLOSS/libre software which finds use beyond a niche, and therefore a relevant developer base, in time becomes first a viable option for one or another use case, later a viable replacement for one or more proprietary alternatives, and finally reaches a superiority in various metrics (features, stability, available dev/employee base from which companies can draw, etc). Some years back, folks thought 3D development environment software was too niche, too "technical" and therefore too costly to replace proprietary alternatives with libre software. Then Blender appeared in the early days of the kickstarter concept getting going, and readily raised the sought after $100K to free this (then proprietary) code. The rest as they say, is history, and Blender is a good case study for the floss progression chart - where exactly you would say it is on that chart, likely depends on you or your project's particular needs at this point in time. Blender by the Numbers – 2019 https://www.blender.org/press/blender-by-the-numbers-2019 One lesson at hand is that if your project or company is long term and not short term, then the sooner you and your team begin to get up to speed with, and contribute to, the floss alternative(s), the greater the head start you, your team and your company will have over the competition, at least in the long term. Identifying, for a particular technology/ software, the point at which medium to long term gains financially justify money spent in the short term on the floss/libre alternatives, is a skill that any competent manager has.

German courts: "duty of neutral conduct with respect to ideological and religious matters"
by Zenaan Harkness 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Germany's Federal Constitutional Court has ruled to "establish a duty of neutral conduct with respect to ideological and religious matters". The cause in this case was a female law student/ trainer lawyer wanting to wear a burka whilst conducting herself in normal court procedures as a lawyer or "court representative". This appears to be a foundational ruling - one which will have significance, and be referred to, for years to come - and possibly one which will stand as a leg to defend the "a-religious" nature of Western political (resting on legal) institutions. This ruling on the face of it makes no judgment about any particular religion (unless one cynically names "Western jurisprudence" a religion of course, as valid as such a perspective may be), only that religious expression or dominance is to not be a part of the (German in this case/ for the moment/ pursuant to this ruling) legal system. One can infer that to the extent litigants choose to bring before the courts any matters which they choose to couch as religious matters, for example the age of consent, that the courts will refrain from imposing the ideology of any particular religion as the foundation for their rulings and judgments in relation to such matters brought before the courts. Notably, this position taken by the German superior court does not inherently preclude religious arguments/grounds (either for or against) any particular matter brought before the courts, only that the courts ("ought not" at least according to this precedent) do not bring a pre-conceived religious foundation to its determinations of such matters. One can say that this precedent appears to be quite a neutral/ rational position for superior courts to take - essentially a precedent regarding jurisprudence itself, thus notable. When such rulings are made in clear terms, it is not uncommon for them to be referred to by folks in other jurisdictions (other countries) in future cases. German Court Rejects Attempt To Enshrine Sharia Law https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/german-court-rejects-attempt-enshrin… https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15658/german-court-rejects-attempt-to-en… ... "With this groundbreaking decision, the court sent an important signal in favor of the ideological neutrality of state institutions. Especially in today's society, in which people from many countries around the world live with different cultural biographies and also with different religions, the state order must place more value than ever on its ideological neutrality. This is only possible if the state parties to judicial proceedings are not allowed to show religious insignia."
