POPSA new take on the cosmic clouds This is a sound argument to a change of theories in regard to the development of solar systems with planets. The system recently discovered with two orbiting planets is what has stirred up the good professor.

POPSDivine Breath: prepare for healing Morrnah Namalaku Simeona -- Mana is sent to the unihipili/subconscious, where it is ether stored or utilized, depending upon the need at the moment. -- If healing is needed, then the unhane/conscious mind sends the request to the unihipili, who in turn creates the energy or mana and all the needed ingredients or colors, feelings, etc., and joins forces with the uhane and the Aumakua/super-conscious mind (who has access to all forces of the cosmos). -- The return flow of Energy or Mana ushers in the answer or result to the prayer or request.

POPSThe Multiverse "As for Linde, he is especially interested in the mystery of consciousness and has speculated that consciousness may be a fundamental component of the universe, much like space and time. He wonders whether the physical universe, its laws, and conscious observers might form an integrated whole. A complete description of reality, he says, could require all three of those components, which he posits emerged simultaneously. “Without someone observing the universe,” he says, “the universe is actually dead.”"

POPSAncient Egyptian Temples Temples were found everywhere. Each city had a temple built for the god of that city. The purpose of the temple was to be a cosmic center by which men had communication with the gods. As the priests became more powerful, tombs became a part of great temples. Shown below is a typical temple flood plan with the purposes of each section given. Go to source.

POPSScience's Alternative to an Intelligent Creator: the Multiverse Theory
The idea that the universe was made just for us—known as the anthropic principle—debuted in 1973 when Brandon Carter, then a physicist at Cambridge University, spoke at a conference in Poland honoring Copernicus, the 16th-century astronomer who said that the sun, not Earth, was the hub of the universe. Carter proposed that a purely random assortment of laws would have left the universe dead and dark, and that life limits the values that physical constants can have. By placing life in the cosmic spotlight—at a meeting dedicated to Copernicus, no less—Carter was flying in the face of a scientific worldview that began nearly 500 years ago when the Polish astronomer dislodged Earth and humanity from center stage in the grand scheme of things. Carter proposed two interpretations of the anthropic principle. The “weak” anthropic principle simply says that we are living in a special time and place in the universe where life is possible. Life couldn’t have survived in the very early universe

POPSNew Spin Record Set: 1 Million rpm The new motor could be applied for faster drills and more efficient and compact compressors for cars and airplanes. The trend towards increasingly smaller cell phones and other teensy electronic devices means ever smaller holes must be drilled to make them, and that requires higher rotational speeds, the researchers said. "Our findings will rapidly be converted into concrete applications and products," said Johann Kolar, one of the researchers involved in the feat.

POPSTime to test time Yet if Hogan's ideas are right, noise associated with this fundamental fuzziness should be prominent at GEO600, a joint British and German machine operating near Hannover, Germany, that is searching for gravitational waves. These waves are thought to arise during events such as the massive cosmic collisions of black holes and neutron stars. Confirmation of the idea — which could come as experimental upgrades to GEO600 are put in place over the coming year — would be a big step towards a verifiable quantum theory of gravity, a long-sought unification of quantum mechanics (the physics of the very small) with general relativity (the physics of the very big). Hogan outlines his predictions in a paper published on 30 October in Physical Review D1.

POPSNew spaceship force field makes Mars trip possible Now this has been confirmed in the laboratory in the UK using apparatus originally built to work on fusion. By recreating in miniature a tiny piece of the Solar Wind, scientists working in the laboratory were able to confirm that a small "hole" in the Solar Wind is all that would be needed to keep the astronauts safe on their journey to our nearest neighbours. Dr. Ruth Bamford, one of the lead researchers at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, said, "These initial experiments have shown promise and that it may be possible to shield astronauts from deadly space weather".

POPSThe sound of space: Scientists reveal 'music' made by stars "The star pulsations were about 25 per cent weaker than predicted, suggesting scientists may need to refine their theories of stellar evolution. A number of scientists are working out what the sounds from stars tell us about processes occurring inside stars"'It's not easy, 'It's like listening to the sound of a musical instrument and then trying to reconstruct the shape of the instrument'.

POPSPillar of Unbelief - Sartre But this is not the only freedom. There's also the freedom to say yes. Sartre thinks we compromise our freedom when we say yes, when we choose to affirm the values we've been taught by our parents, our society, or our Church. So what Sartre means by freedom is very close to what the beatniks of the `50s and the hippies of the `60s called "doing your own thing," and what the Me generation of the `70s called "looking out for No. 1." He says, "We have learned to take Evil seriously...Evil is not an appearance...Knowing its causes does not dispel it. Evil cannot be redeemed." Yet he also says that since there is no God and since we therefore create our own values and laws, there really is no evil: "To choose to be this or that is to affirm at the same time the value of what we choose, because we can never choose evil." So Sartre gives both too much reality to evil ("Evil cannot be redeemed") and too little ("We can never choose evil").

POPSThe Statistical Universe - On the Vastness of the universe But inflation does not really make the universe more uniform — just huge. If inflation is correct, then the billions of light-years that our telescopes probe are a mere dot on a far vaster canvas. The multiverse comprises a large number of distinct patches, each far bigger than our night sky. What observers see, therefore, also depends on where they find themselves. Most of the regions in the multiverse are inhospitable to life, and their properties will not be observed. But what exactly is life? In order to extract predictions from the multiverse, my colleagues and I have developed a statistical tool to find regions with observers: We look not for life itself but for the disorder left behind by the complex processes that its formation depends on. To understand the physical signatures of life in this way may help us finally to comprehend our own little corner of the multiverse. Interesting Read.

POPSNASA launches probe to study edge of solar system "The interstellar boundary regions are critical because they shield us from the vast majority of dangerous galactic cosmic rays, which otherwise would penetrate into Earth's orbit and make human spaceflight much more dangerous," David McComas, IBEX principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas, said recently.

POPSFor Those Undecided Voters... If you are undecided about who to vote for in the US presidential race (HUH?) Maybe, you should check with Obama's standing in the world.... Which translates something like this... In Percentages GEORGE W BUSH = 0% BARACK OBAMA = 99% JOHN McGRUMPYPANTS = 1% (Just Kidding) :-D Excerpt from article: No matter where you live, no matter which nation you hail from or to which political ideology you tend to adhere, the Bush/McCain approach to leadership -- belligerent, militaristic, religiously closed-minded, culturally stagnant, environmentally reckless, fiscally irresponsible -- has resulted in one of the most epic collapses of a world power in modern history, which in turn has made the rest of the world a more volatile, hostile place for all. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2008/10/08/notes100808.DTL&nl=fix

POPSGalaxies found to be flowing together "He said another interesting idea proposed since the cosmic flow was detected is that instead of a gravitational pull by something beyond the observable universe, the galaxies are being pushed by an absence of mass in the local universe."
