NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

May Great Spirit bless 🙏

Before I begin my morning entry, the main topic today is:

FABRIC of Time and Space.

It's a spring-like sunrise out there, so nice in the early morning. So peaceful, like the entire world was at rest. No matter how worn out, Nature must be from our constant raging insanity that is spreading like a cancer, slowly poisoning her like a plague, she stubbornly remains in places like those I view from my balcony Green Space. Sitting here in my Green Space, with the splendid shimmering orange orb rising over the trees, the mild temperatures, and the melting snow, I feel like I am in a mother's arms. It feels like a rebirth, a new life, rather than the death throes of a tortured soul.

I believe that Mother Gaia is a self-healer; no matter what we do to her, eventually, she will return to her original state. I recommend you watch the History Channel series *Life After People*, which I believe gives a reasonably good idea of what would happen to Nature after humans. A Living, Striving, Bold New World is born.

I am out here in my Green Space, wearing only my nightgown and a light jacket, in the warm light of the Sun rising above the trees. I feel more like I am in the arms of a mother, a oneness, not something trying to snuff me out.

Something To Think About:

Fabric Of Time And Space

The fabric of time and space could be imagined as a cosmic grid or network that creates the Temporal World we see, feel, touch, hear, and taste. The cosmic web of galaxies and the neural network in the human brain possess striking, quantitative similarities in complexity and structure.

If we humans were to learn to live in interconnectedness with one another and Nature, we could be the next intergalactic visitors to another green planet, to teach its species how to do the same. I can only pray that we find that Oneness at some point in our evolution.

That's one curriculum in the school of life we can't afford to miss: The Interconnectedness of ALL LIVING THINGS WITH CONSCIOUSNESS, NO MATTER WHERE IN INFINITY. Infinity is simply being nowhere and everywhere at the same time, like a state of complete absence of motion, at 0 degrees Kelvin, where not even matter and energy molecules, atoms, or even subatomic particles or energy waves stop vibrating.

Total absence of time and space? Naw, that would only mean there is no consciousness there to witness what's there. But what if everything is there, but there's no one there to witness it? Without consciousness, there is no life, and without life, what's left is meaningless, chaos, eh! Like the school yard bullies used to say, the stars are just a bunch of rocks. IS THAT WHAT WE WANT TO DO TO THIS PLANET? A barren third rock from Sol?

My Question: 0 kelvin time stops?

Thermal Motion vs. Time

Temperature is a statistical measure of the internal kinetic energy of particles.

While O K represents the point where classical vibration ceases, Quantum Mechanics dictates that particles still possess zero-point energy. Because particles fluctuate and maintain nonzero energy states due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, physical processes and interactions persist, meaning time continues to flow.

🔹AI Overview

My Question: How can one have time and space if the void is a complete vacuum, 0, zilch?

In modern physics, the concept of a "complete vacuum"—a region with absolute zero matter, energy, or structure—is considered impossible. While a vacuum is defined as a space devoid of matter, it is never truly "nothing" due to quantum fields, which fill all of space and time

🔹AI Overview

My Question: The Fabric of Space:

"The fabric of space" (or spacetime) is a theoretical, four-dimensional continuum ( space + time) that Einstein's general relativity describes as a dynamic, flexible, and continuous entity capable of bending, stretching, and twisting. It is not a literal fabric but a geometric representation of gravity in which massive objects curve the field, causing other objects to follow curved paths.

What Lies Under the Fabric of Space-Time?

OK, that's my two cents on this topic for today, From the Newsroom.

In my opinion, what I would really like to do is:

BREAKING NEWS:

Even Republican election officials are balking at Trump Justice Department’s voter roll crusade

As the Trump administration has sued 25 mostly Democratic state election chiefs for their voter rolls, it has also encountered quieter resistance from Republican officials who have balked at the Justice Department’s demands for confidential voter registration information.

At least a half-dozen Republican-led state election offices have declined the Justice Department’s request for non-public voter data, which can include a voter’s Social Security number, driver license ID number or current residence, according to interviews, local media reporting and records obtained by CNN and by the Brennan Center, a left-leaning think tank that researches election issues.

“They can have the voter rolls. They’re gonna pay for it like everybody else,” West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner told CNN last month, referring to the public list that can be purchased in his state for $500. “They’re not going to get our personal information.” ...

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie grapple with fallout from parents’ Epstein scandals

London:

—

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have been swept into the maelstrom that has engulfed their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, forcing them to grapple with renewed scrutiny swirling around the British monarchy. The sisters, now 37 and 35 respectively, are named hundreds of times in the latest tranche of the so-called “Epstein files” recently published by the US Department of Justice. At least one of the references is highly embarrassing, referring to a young Eugenie’s private life.

Beatrice and Eugenie are among the few members of the Windsor clan to hold “HRH” titles, meaning “His” or “Her Royal Highness,” but they do not represent the monarch as working members of “The Firm.” Much of the criticism of the York family, as they were known in Britain, has centered on Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein...

Canada bets on ‘Build at Home’ defence strategy to reclaim sovereignty — and revive readiness

Plan aims to award 70% of federal defence contracts to Canadian firms within a decade

Canada’s new defence industrial strategy sets out a series of important, extraordinarily high benchmarks for the country to achieve over the next decade, including buying and maintaining most of the military’s equipment domestically. The long-awaited plan, which was developed more as a response to NATO’s call for industrial clarity among allies than to annexation threats by the Trump administration, sets a goal of awarding 70 per cent of federal defence contracts to Canadian firms within a decade.

It also proposes to raise the servicability rates of Canadian military equipment to 75 per cent of the navy’s ships, 80 per cent of the army’s vehicles and 85 per cent of the air force’s planes...
