AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT!

Did you see a bright light?

The origin's of life has always been a fascinating subject for myself! Have you ever sat and wondered?

  

 Where did we come from? Was it divine creation? Or better yet, Divine intervention? from the creation from the Cosmos? How about the primordial soup theory? where we crawled from the sludge, and then evolved into several species of humans until the strongest finally won out!

  Personally I believe we are all here as a direct result of all the creations from the Cosmos! Through science and the study of our Universe we know that if not for all the wonders within our Universe we would not be here!

  We know that when a star, such as our sun explodes, it produces things! Things such as amino acids, the building blocks for the creation of life such as us! 

  Maybe our DNA is just a computer code generated by an alien life, and whoa la, here we are! 

Each and every idea is fascinating and  the concept has kept homo sapiens very busy since our short time here!

  More people have died on this planet due to the thought of one of these possibilities! Which is beliefs! The belief of something greater then us has brought all of this into existence! But the problem with this is, everyone seems to have their own idea of which God is the one and only almighty?

  If this planet hopes to ever gain a form of higher intelligence well, everyone is going to have to stop putting their beliefs in something that is the cause of so much death!
  I wouldn't recommend holding your breath for this to happen! Heck back in the 90's I had actually thought that this planet was just starting to come together on some sort of unity!
  Boy, how wrong I was! Because nowadays it looks as though we have gone backwards by about 35 years! The new cold war!
  And then we have the elections in process and Trump setting us back to the days of segregation. The talks of what to do about Muslims, and his obvious dislike of Mexicans. I truly feel like I've been teleported back in time to the 60's!

  Anyway the point of this story (Did you see a bright light?) Is about the new finding in science of what happens at the very first instance of  conception!
  The thing they have found, is when the sperm makes it's direct contact with the egg to be fertilized, they have witnessed a flash of light!
  A flash of light takes place at the very beginning of the creation of life being made! The very thought of this sends shivers throughout my body!

  The very first thing that came to me was the fact of all these people that have experienced a near death, or actual death and revival type situation, and some have claimed to see a "Flash of light!"
  The exact instance of our creation a flash of light is produced, and then at our final act, the end,
some witness another flash of light! How odd is that? Could there be a correlation? If no, why?

  Just maybe this bright light is a code scribbled within our DNA somewhere? and we do actually experience this when we part with our human shell! and then we go back to our beginning, which is pure energy!
  Pretty funny when you think of it like I just stated, about being made of energy! We humans are energy! Our core existence needs certain things to keep our energy charged. We need things such as sun light, and food, these are what we need to provide us with more energy, to keep our energy going!

  So the very beginning is what we'll call "The BIG BANG!" and the big bang happens at the creation of conception, when the two forms of energy meet, and boom the sparks fly! 
  Then nine months later a bigger form of energy is upon us in the world in the form of a human baby! This form of energy fly's through life until the energy starts wearing thin, and then we start our descent into what we'll call "The BIG CRUNCH!" and when this happens Bam! another flash of light as we leave our shell(bodies.) 
  Just like a hermit crab leaving it's shell. As the crab goes looking for a new home, So is our energy, off it goes to catch up with the rest of the Cosmos! 

  Which who knows, but that flash of light we see at death is actually not death, but instead we go right back into another instant creation! Just like a never ending cycle, Our death is really a rebirth! A paradox!

  Does this sound plausible? I'll tell you what, I like this theory a lot more then some of these notions out there! Those theories in which people are laying waste to the world all over their beliefs in religions!
  I've got an idea for a scientific challenge let's have these physicist at the Large Haldron Collider 
Take a sperm, and blast it out near light speed and smash it into an egg! 
  Who knows what could happen? The prophet Mohammed could appear! How great that would be so we could have him talk with these clowns from ISIS! 
  I can hear it now, with Mohammed saying "I didn't say kill off other people! I said cut your own head's off!" I'd pay money to see that documentary!

   The link at the bottom of this page is the article that talks about the "flash of light," scientist have witnessed at conception. 
  They say what cause's this flash of light, which I cannot recall? I believe it has to do with the elements from what sperm are made of, and what the egg is made of that actually cause's this so called flash of light.
  Of course this is really what is causing this! There is no divine or immaculate anything! Just plain old biology and chemistry at work!

  The problem is, the Universe is just like the chicken and egg scenario! What came first? Then was it divine intervention that brought life to the cosmos? Or just a fluke of chemistry and biology? It seems to me it's a crap shoot! Although on the religion end of it, and knowing my luck, there is a creator! and due to my disbelief I'll end up being cast into a burning pit of endless torture!
  On the flip side, I hate the thought of wasting my life on worrying of pleasing something and following some kind of religious guidelines for something that is unknown!
  Then again when we peer into our Universe there seems to be a whole slew of unknowns! And some of these unknowns we can actually physically see with our own eyes!
  
   A flash of light and the Universe was created! A flash of light at the very beginning of the conception of every human life! Even a flash of light at our death! 
  It seems like light is the common factor with everything! There is nothing faster that we know of then light speed, Although at the very beginning of the big bang  there was something that moved faster then the speed of light and that was the expansion of space! In a real amazingly quick moment space inflated to a size that would boggle your mind! So we won't even dive into this mystery and just stick to the light mystery!

  What is this correlation with life and light? I'm not sure if we will ever know? It seems as though we keep finding new and fascinating areas in science! especially within the Cosmos and Particle area! Maybe we just may find the answers, Possible by accident, Though the big question is what happens if we do find the answers to everything? Boy that would be a mess! So for now ponder these thoughts even if it's just to entertain your imagination! You may just may discover something new within yourself!

Space the final frontier? Maybe the only!

What after the climate shift?
T.J. Rockford
Rockford files 2.Oooh

In case you didn't know the earth is going to be going through some changes in the very near future. This isn't anything new, but the pace at doing anything about this issue sure isn't moving at any lightning speed! and why?

Well, that's a silly question! Blame it on the all mighty dollar! Yes, money! that means industry must not slow down, Full speed ahead! Because we're in competition with a lot of nations that are blowing us away on every level! So there is no room for climate issues, only room for making money! but at what cost? 

 It's pretty darn bad when everyone knows what the cause is, and what needs to be done, But because nobody can all come together to address the problem to fix it, It's every powerful nation for themselves'!

 Just because China wouldn't agree that there was an issue with the climate back in the 90's, it would have meant having to do something about there industry machine that was in full swing at that point. 

 It meant the United States wasn't going to agree either! If their not going to slow down, well we're not either!

 It is pretty darn sad when you see all these other nations willing to address climate issues and take action, But unfortunately they were mostly Island nations and France. What comes out of France the Le' car! Great loss that was! Don't get me wrong there was more! Just none that would have made as big of an impact as the U.S. and China!

 Though now that the U.S. is struggling some financially and politically! And China is in full swing in leaps and bounds! we need to slow them down! Catching the drift now? China is fast tracking their way to a supreme power nation stance, So now we start jumping on the climate train issue!
 If it works, it works! Though I'm pretty certain this is no time for America to start messing around with an already messed up economy. Though I truly hope we can manage both, A clean climate stable economy future, without getting beat up to much by China!

 So anyway now 2016 everyone finally agreed that there is an issue, and we're all going to address the problem! 

  Well not so fast! Even though everyone agreed and signed the Paris climate accord agreement, All that will come of that, is by 2050 everyone will have there green house causing machinery reduced by 30%!

 So there it is, All fixed, Right? Well considering that scientist just this year (2016) said that if we don't stop everything like 100% right now that the climate will go way pass the 2 degree Celsius planet increase. I'm jumping ahead a little so let me explain, Scientist had said that if the world temperature would rise more then 2 degrees the planet would be in series trouble!

 They said if it rose to that 2 degree Celsius mark that the earth would be in grave, and no getting out of it turmoil!

 Well maybe not that bad, but they do believe some serious weather patterns will start up in a negative way with other issues as well. The weather type events are enough to screw up crops and other agriculture, so yea,I would call that not so good!

 So great news like things aren't bad enough! The really bad news is the planet has already risen 1 degree Celsius since the beginning of the industry revolution.

 Are you grabbing a hold of something? Or maybe you better sit down because if your not catching on to what I am saying and figuring this out, in the big agreement they said everyone would reduce the emissions 30%  by 2050, Understand 30% by 2050!

  Yes that's right it makes no sense! Considering scientist just said if things aren't done right now! at 100%, by 2050 the temperature could potentially rise as much as 2 more degrees by 2050!  Everyone said screw it! We'll slowly reduce our emissions by 30% in the next 30 years! Nice!

  So the sad news is, If we don't do something right now, and everyone stays the course, the planet will rise as much as a total of  6 to 7  more degrees Celsius by 2100!
  Of course I'm hoping these numbers are like on the way extreme side! I'm not like some green environmentalist, but I do understand there is an issue, and it needs to be seriously addressed!

 If you thought 2 more degrees Celsius was bad enough and would make a mess of things, well imagine what 6 or 7 extra degrees will do!
  Honestly I don't even want to tell you, It's that bad! Weather being an huge issue, Ice cap's melting, land disappearing, Oh man, some scientist foretell of some really wicked possibilities, enough to make a person listen and wonder!
  But who are we suppose to believe? Seems like everyone has their own agenda! Government's want to make capital, Capitalist's want to make capital, Even conservationist's want to make some scratch as well to fund their endeavors!
  Some say it's going to be disastrous, Some say it's nothing but a thing and happens all the time on this planet! Man alive, what to believe?
  The rise in temperature is being based before the industrial age until now. According to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research since 1880 to 2012 the rise in temp has been 1.83 degrees Fahrenheit or 0,83 Degrees Celsius! And according to NASA it has risen 0.87 as of 2015!
  The one thing we know for sure is the last 15 years have been the warmest on record, and each year that goes by breaks the years before record!

Below is a graph from the EPA

Like the graph above for the U.S. lower 48 states 

below is for worldwide!

Another model from NASA 

One way to look at this is 10,000 years ago the Earth went through the little ice age because of a 1 to 2 degree drop in temps!
  20,000 years ago when we had a 5 degree drop left most of North America underneath a layer of ice over a mile thick!

 In all reality science doesn't really know for certain the exact impact which could take place for humanity with a temperature increase! Mainly because human's haven't  been around long enough to have witnessed any of these events. Though we do know if certain things do end up happening, what potentially could happen!
  For example if our forests disappear as a result of the climate changing it would be cataclysmic! We can see in the past that the earth has had some very hard times due to climate shifts. There have been a few occasions that it's truly a miracle that the Earth bounced back at all!
  Only by fossilized and sedimentary records to we have some kind of insight to the possibilities. It's all truly enough for me to think that yes, This is an issue!

 The scary thing I look at is the other planets in our solar system, such as Venus! We know that because of all the volcanic activity on Venus and all that CO2 disperse because of it, It caused the planet into a runaway green house effect which had super heated the planet!
  It has remained as such! The hottest planet in our solar system at 500 degrees, even though it's not the closest planet to the Sun, it's still the hottest, now that's nut's!

  Stuff like that I see and it just kinda makes me think a bit! This is what I envision as possibilities happening here due to rising temperatures!  But what I'm thinking isn't for myself, It's what I fear is possible for planet Earth! I fear for my family on planet Earth!
  I'm fairly confident things will stay in the fair range for the rest of my life, being 46, I'm banking on it anyway!

 I always envision the worst scenario! Just because I'm not sure who to believe? I don't run around telling everyone the end world! I just lay out the facts as we're told, and leave that for personal interpretation!
  Trust me, In discussing these topics in certain scientific forums it can get down right ugly! Seems as though everyone has their personal thoughts with various scientific evidence! and it goes both ways in climate change and possible outcomes!
 
  Truly, I'm not sure about anything anyone say's at this point! But what I do know, is what I see! Then I add it into some of what we're told, Then I try to learn a little something, Then I become an optimistically hopeful, wishing nothing ends up being to severe type of person!

 Though I am presently in the process of selling my home and purchasing a sailboat. Which I plan to live aboard, Not so much because of future climate issue's, but rather I had planned on doing it for years now.  I've always wanted to sail around the world, and traverse far off places of interest! and doing it under wind power, going green!

  I guess the bonus part for myself, will be I'm on the water instead of in a home under the water, ( If the sea happens to rise at some point!)
  Plus I will be mobile, if I need to move in quick fashion without all the pains of being planted in Terra Firma!
  I do plan on having a smaller engine which most have, Though you can traverse without one, and people do and have sailed around the world without them! Look at our past, sailing without engines, we have been doing for thousands of years!

  Being mobile has a feeling of freedom! the freedom to navigate the sea, which might be getting pretty risky in the South China Sea! Will it stop there? Or is this just the beginning of a larger scale issue in the near future? The United States is suppose to be the largest advocate and guardian of this law.

 So what do you suppose will come of this? Especially with the Obama administration playing nice with China in order to keep them on the climate agreement table. Will the U.S. let the Chinese just take that long written law of the sea and just say screw it? let China have their way, Or will Obama do the right thing? Like he should of done on so many other occasions, but instead had coward down and let other nations make the guidelines and scare us off!
  I do know, a president worth his weight in salt, would hold the line to the freedom to navigate the seas law! and then hold them to the climate conversion agreement as well! but I'm afraid I know the outcome for Obama! An embarrassment to us all!

  Whether it's navigating the sea or climate issues, I believe, we all as humans, need to start getting along in these times of uncertainty! Unfortunately what I see is everyone digging in and protecting their own assets in order to be in control!
  For some strange reason I had envisioned the world being more united, and trying to work together for the future of mankind in the 21st century. I'm basing this on growing up back in the 70's and witnessing how the world was then, with the cold war and the such.

  The thing was back in the 80's I had witnessed a remarkable event take place in Russia! All due to a young girl from Manchester, Maine.
She had sent a letter with a drawing, of why can't the U.S. and Soviet Union just get along? She was scared of nuclear war, so relayed the letter to the man in charge of the Soviet Union at the time President Gorbachev!
  The most profound thing happened, he responded! He invited the young girl over to the Soviet Union for a meeting, and this was the beginning of the U.S. and Russia in talks!
It led to our President, at the time Ronald Reagan, and President Gorbachev in an agreement to start the nuclear missile reduction act! All from the start of a very young girl, and a letter of concern!

  This is why I had envisioned the world in a better place by this point! I would like to see the world in a mutual agreement, that there is issue's with the climate! and due to this, we should all be working together to start a major space development program! I believe our future is in the stars! and it's imperative we start now at working together!
  For humanities survival, we do need to look to our universe! and hopefully we will have learned from our mistakes on this planet, and try not to bring our bad habits along with us on our endeavors!

  I know this is a pipe dream with all the chaos in the world today, but like I had said before, I'm optimistically hopeful, wishing for the best for everything!
