You are the water,
I am the oil.
I did not choose,
It was physics theory.
Science determined
Our spiritual existence,
Our passionate dysfunction,
The opposite repelled,
Neither rising or fallen,
Just separate, dissimilar.

Time to return to my long-delayed series of posts on the history of invisibility physics theory!  The first two posts were:

• Acceleration without radiation (1910), describing Ehrenfest’s arguments suggesting acceleration without radiation could be possible,
• Schott’s radiationless orbits (1933), describing G.A. Schott’s analytical demonstration that a charged spherical shell could move in a periodic orbit without producing radiation.

Our next stop in the study of invisibility physics theory is a pair of results, one by G.A. Schott in 1937 and another by D. Bohm and M. Weinstein in 1948, in both of which it is suggested that under the right circumstances, not only can an extended charged particle oscillate without radiating, but that it can also oscillate under the influence of its own electromagnetic field, without the application of an external force!

Our world is in the process of healing itself with the Light of Truth.  I have posted my personal healing through the life, death, and rebirth of caregiving for my terminally ill father.  These are excerpts from my journal of our day-to-day experiences in the period 1997-1998. 

It was not until months after he passed on that I went back to review the journal.   I realized with 20/20 hindsight that a profound Spiritual journey had taken place—one that perhaps could be shared with others as a source of inspiration or as a layman’s guidance into the world of the dying experience, both for the dying and the living.
 

“Suddenly, I saw a pinhole of light, a beautiful blue-white light. It looked very distant, but I was so drawn to it that I wanted to rush ahead of Poppy to get to it. But I received a strong, strong mental message telling me No! No! It’s not for you to go! We were immediately transported into some sort of mental metaphor, immersed in a quasi-dream. I first saw a boat, with me firmly grounded at the shore and Poppy on the boat. A cord anchored the boat, but I was holding a knife to cut the cord if Poppy made the choice to sail. My mother then sailed in on another boat to Poppy. Although she was ready to take him with her, she made it clear that I could not cut that cord unless Poppy made the decision to go.”  (pg 18)

I’ve also posted photos and information from my father’s WWII Marine Corps album.  He was wounded at Peleliu (Palau Islands) while charging toward Bloody Nose Ridge in September 1944, for which he received the Purple Heart when he was just 18 years of age. 

 I was inside a huge crater with two other guys when the enemy opened fire on us. The first explosion dropped to our left and the second one, to our right. We knew this was a ‘pinning’ strategy. We waited for the third explosion,but it never came; this is when we realized that the .30-caliber water-cooled machine guns we had been aiming at them were jammed! We were helpless. All around us, the crossfire was lighting up the sky, and it was paralyzing.

From Wikipedia

A fungus (pronounced /ˈfʌŋɡəs/) is a eukaryotic organism that is a member of the kingdom Fungi (pronounced /ˈfʌndʒaɪ/ or /ˈfʌŋɡaɪ/).^[2] The fungi are a monophyletic group, also called the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that is phylogenetically distinct from the morphologically similar slime molds (myxomycetes) and water molds (oomycetes). The fungi are heterotrophic organisms possessing a chitinous cell wall, with most species growing as multicellular filaments called hyphae forming a mycelium; some species also grow as single cells. Sexual and asexual reproduction of the fungi is commonly via spores, often produced on specialized structures or in fruiting bodies. Some have lost the ability to form reproductive structures, and propagate solely by vegetative growth. Yeasts, molds, and mushrooms are examples of fungi. The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology, and is often regarded as a branch of botany, even though fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants.

From Wikipedia

Protists (pronounced /ˈproʊtɨst/), are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms. Historically, protists were treated as the kingdom Protista but this group is no longer recognized in modern taxonomy.^[1] Instead, it is “better regarded as a loose grouping of 30 or 40 disparate phyla with diverse combinations of trophic modes, mechanisms of motility, cell coverings and life cycles.”^[2]

The protists do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization^[3]—either they are unicellular, or they are multicellular without specialized tissues. This simple cellular organization distinguishes the protists from other eukaryotes, such as fungi, animals and plants.

In botany, flora (plural: floras or florae) has two meanings. The first meaning, flora of an area or of time period, refers to all plant life occurring in an area or time period, especially the naturally occurring or indigenous plant life. The second meaning refers to a book or other work which describes the plant species occurring in an area or time period, with the aim of allowing identification. The corresponding term that refers to all animal life is fauna. Some classic and modern floras are listed below.

The term flora comes from Latin language Flora, the goddess of flowers in Roman mythology. The corresponding term for animal life is fauna. Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota.

From Wikipedia

Fauna is all of the animal life of any particular region or time. The corresponding term for plants is flora.

Zoologists and paleontologists use fauna to refer to a typical collection of animals found in a specific time or place, e.g. the “Sonoran Desert fauna” or the “Burgess shale fauna”.Paleontologists sometimes refer to a sequence of faunal stages, which is a series of rocks all containing similar fossils.

The name comes from Fauna, a Roman fertility and earth goddess, the Roman god Faunus, and the related forest spirits called Fauns. All three words are cognates of the name of the Greek god Pan, and panis is the Greek equivalent of fauna. Fauna is also the word for a book that catalogues the animals in such a manner. The term was first used by Linnaeus in the title of his 1747 work Fauna Suecica.

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world or material world. “Nature” refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. Manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, and are referred to as artificial or man-made. Nature is generally distinguished from the supernatural. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or “essential qualities, innate disposition,” but literally meaning “birth.” Original sense is in “human nature.” ^[1] Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.^[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.^[4][5]

Within the various uses of the word today, “nature” may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the “natural environment” or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind.

Now it is trendy to invent energy saving items, so I design this new elevator for solve the age old dilemma of balancing weight. The idea behind balancing weight is to increase the easiness of lifting an elevator,  at the price of paying back the same amount of potential energy it saved on its upward motion. Is there a way to save energy on upward motion without compensate in the downward motion?

There are several ways to approach this problem: First, we can made the weight of balancing weight variable in according to the direction of motion for the goal of energy saving; Second is to change the way which these two interact with each other. I save the later for another article. Now, how to change the weight of balancing weight so it would be heaviest when the elevator is going up and lightest when the elevator is going down?

Easy, by using the waste water pump out of each level; we now need a collection facilitate for collecting all the waste water from each apartment of each level; and also not a very complicate system to intelligently decide the amount of waste water used during each passage of elevator. Assume such a system is in place, then the balancing weight is actually a metallic cylinder allowing waste water to be collected. When the elevator is travelling upward, the rule of thumb is to increase the balancing weight as much as possible; and when the elevator is going back, the waste water in the cylinder is expelled through its opening in the bottom, which then  going to the public sewage processing  system.

How would such an idea to be implemented?
