Thesaurus [English (UK)]: Permanent, irreparable, irretrievable, irrevocable, unalterable, irremediable

I’m quite lost at times in dealing with Religious beliefs.  Sometimes I struggle to understand things or comment on things.  I’m the same way with Politics.  I don’t quite possess the ability to manipulate or persuade without transparency.  Sometimes I do get too brutally honest, often to my detriment. 

Often times, I’ll bite my tongue, holding back an inner thought in order to create peace, but other times, when I feel used or treated unjustly, I’ll speak up – sometimes explode.    As I started, in dealing with religious beliefs, I’ve picked and prodded to understand a basis of morality, but what I’m lost at times is the aspect of preaching.  Spreading words of Truth?  Maybe my upbringing with Thermodynamics has just got too much science in me – but as you can tell, I like to preach about Thermodynamics – Laws of Balance.  Maybe I’m religious after all. 

Anyways, my sermon; Thermodynamics involves a balancing act.  Heat flows towards cool, and finds a balance of temperature.  Cooler than hot, but hotter than cool, yes, but in a sense, if anything can be cooled, then a reversible path can be found to rebalance to the original temperature.  If heat gains momentum, an acceleration happens where entropy occurs and heat may turn into radiation, or a multitude of other energy streams.  Entropy continues to occur until Chaos ensues, returning everything from a maximum to a minimum.  It re-balances. 

Irreversibility

Its definition by the minds states that irreversibility, in thermodynamic definitions, is due to intermolecular friction.  No comment on heat and thermal equilibriums, only stating that irreversibility is caused by two masses causing friction.  I still like to think the Laws of Thermodynamics are balanced and equal.  Nothing in, nothing out, everything in harmony.  To me, irreversibility cannot exist. 

Friction

But perhaps friction is the entropy, the greed in my analogies.  Friction - something I don’t understand.  Mass and friction.  Greed and friction.  Exploitation and friction.  Resources and friction.  Oil and Friction. Plastics and Friction.

Irreversible plastics.  They hold our things – water, circuit boards, music, comfort, entertainment, zeros and ones, thoughts, bodies and groceries.  Irreversible plastics.  Produced out of organic molecules we dig, we mine, we drill, we pump, we produce and we fight over.  Why do we fight over it?  Because it’s precious to us and we want more!  

Implants

Synthetic Plastics date back to 1862 – Parkesine was the trademarked name.  Parkesine, made from a mixture of chloroform and castor oil, formed a malleable, light weight material, produced in colourful displays without dyes and finished to a gleam and “hard as a horn, but as flexible as leather”, started it all. 

Sure Goodyear had discovered natural rubber in 1839, but this was the first synthetic plastic, made out of chlorine, methane and vegetable oil. 

Alexander Parkes saw the potential of all the applications of this product.  I wonder what he would think now. 

Gyrations

The North Pacific Gyre – if I lived in the heydays of the 1950’s I’d probably think this is the latest dance craze.  Today, it’s taken on a whole new meaning.  The North Pacific Gyre is the natural currents that carry out the Pacific Ocean’s dance.   In the gyration, things may eternally float on – like a magical bubble floating with the gentle breeze, or a paper boat, floating off in the ocean’s horizon.  If this magic were to happen and flow out to the vastness of the oceans, we can see what the eternal really is – plastics.

The North Pacific Gyre creates a vortex and swirl – concentrating anything that floats eternally into the depths of the oceans.  A previously termed; “Plastic Soup” has been cooking, concentrating to twice the size of the continental US and containing over 100 million tons.  Every piece of plastic that has drifted into the ocean in the past 50 years is accountable, and in 2008, that number was estimated to be over 100 million tons. 

If averaged over 50 years, 2 million tons of plastics are annually dumped up in the ocean.  I doubt very much that this amount should be averaged, but perhaps I can trend this to GDP growth over that time span.  I’ll use the United States of America’s Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), a component of calculating a nation’s Gross Domestic Product in this example – perhaps more fitting of projecting plastic accumulation and disposal.    

PCE Increase per year = 5% (2000 – 2007)

100 tons projected at 5% growth in 2050 = 815 million tons.

Area of current vortex (Area of U.S. = 9.1 million square kilometres times 2) projected at 5% growth in 2050 = 149 million square kilometres. 

Area of the Pacific Ocean: 150 million square kilometres. 

Reversibility

Microsoft Thesaurus Check – no results were found.

My definition – to Renew, to Rebalance, to Undo, to Protect.

I don’t know why I can’t find another word for it in my thesaurus checker.  I suppose it needs a little defining.

The vortex, alive and well, will continue to collect our trash while we wait for a solution.  Any type of solution, but we have very little time.  When I work with very little time, I panic.  Do we need panic?  I sure don’t feel it right now.  Maybe I need to.  Maybe we all need to.  Without panic, it could be deadly.

Decomposition

Plastics float – like a boat, across the sea, because of we.  Be specific? our Pacific. 

What a mind-blowing thought – if we can’t see it, maybe it’s not there.  Dilution is the solution?  I’ll keep swinging my arms, and if you get in the way, it’s your own fault? 

Let’s chop up our plastic, and then send it into the ocean!   There’s the solution! 

Will sarcasm get me anywhere?

Probably not, but amazingly, my sarcastic idea is not my own.  Ok, maybe it works, and works quite well, but if I do a quick life cycle study on this, I can take data to know that fine particles of plastics, laden with garbage may attract fish, yes even in the depths of the oceans.  And well, fish eat these plastics and store them.  They store plastics quite well in their fleshy insides.  Then, fish eat fish.  Then, more fish eat fish.  Then a crustacean eats some of the fish leftovers, but then that crustacean is eaten by a fish.  Which in turn, will get eaten by more fish.  And so on.  Eventually, we eat fish. 

And I hear Fish Tacos are the latest craze – and boy do I like seafood! 

Head in the Toilet

When younger, I got to go out into the ocean.  It was a home on the sea.  I got seasick the first few days, but eventually, I felt comfortable enough to pee off the bridge deck.  It was fun!  It was an epiphany.  My little presence alone can’t affect this vast world.  But what if everyone pissed into the ocean – that’s damn nasty. 

And what if we have.  What if we are. 

Plastics are currently derived from an oil source.  They are used for televisions, telephones, brooms, mops, clothes, CDs, DVDs and everything around us.  My challenge is this, name three things around you right now that you may keep or pass down that will last for the next 41 years.  Are they made of plastic? 

And what of everything else that is made of plastic.  In the next 41 years, they will have to be thrown out.   To the incinerator? Wait… these plastics may burn and kill us in the air.  To the garbage dump?   Hmm… no more room?  We can chop down more trees right?  To the ocean?  I really don’t think that’s a good idea for the next 41 years.  

The Melting Pot

Plastic was initially invented with vision and foresight.  Chloroform and castor oil.  They have these ingredients.  These ingredients were mixed together and caused friction.  The friction was caused because masses meeting created an irreversible loss of energy – thermodynamics – everything is accounted for.  We have created an irreversible reaction.  And we do this because we consume.  But to keep consuming unnaturally, we are creating an even more irreversible reaction, we are creating it to ourselves and our health and our environment.  We need to balance our consumption – we need to know where it goes, how it’s disposed, and how we can recycle.  We need an answer now.  We cannot wait. 

The Continental Shift

The Atlantic Ocean is expanding, the Pacific Ocean is collapsing – a form of a Universal dance.  It may be an eternal dance, perhaps, or it just may take Eons to happen, but someday, somehow, the dance will be over and the North Pacific Gyre will no longer be the latest dance craze.   At this far distant point in time, we’ll see the glorious mistakes of our past .   I hope to live to 2050 and feed the Generation NEXT…

Finding the αεριώθησης ρεύμα

The brow was wiped with a single bead of sweat rolling across the dimpled surfaces of the forehead. 

The pulse accelerated to a new level – unfamiliar with this, the heart speaks its true voice

Take Off

I used to love flying.  The thrill of departing off into the unknown world.  Flying was mystical, fantastical, astronomical. 

Fly too close to the Sun, beware the Icarian Sea relent the Ancient Greeks to Ἴκαρος.  

Turbulence, delays, windstorms, lightning, ice, birds – with so many obstacles, I’m now a little weary if not terrorized of flying.  My heart raced last time I landed in a plane.  I suppose I also realized that my neck of the woods has a lot of mountains, and streams and beauty and woods on it’s own that I don’t crave to consume the bug that bites.  Exotic as they may be, I find a peaceful tranquility observing the afar from afar – the new craze I’ve consumed are satellite photos.  Beautiful imagery from the perspective of heaven looking down on us.

The peace that this brings me is sometimes short-lived – I see my streams and air colluding as streams of air – the jets are not cool.   It kicks and screams with violent perpetuation.   

 Head in the Clouds

 I’m off again – floating away on a blanket of mist-ical water.  Blown in from the seas I float off up in the air searching for free space.  The Laws of Thermodynamics rule me, and the heat that I feel in the distance, draws me ever so closer to open space and peace.  It is crowded in here, and my fate dictates that I can billow and chill in the gentle breeze beneath me as a cumulus, or I become a nimbus and shed my tears as a stratus.  If I’m  lucky I can find a path to my true colours.

Let’s Heat it Up

“This is your captain speaking – we’re experiencing a little turbulence  right now, so I’m gonna have to go ahead and turn that seatbelt sign back on… just for a few shakes”

As a localized and communal source, cities provide hubs of energies and excitement.  A neighbour nearby, a restaurant down the corner, a corner store to buy smokes.  But with this excitement, we expend energy – yes internally of course – but also externally.  We burn gas for heat and cooking, we zap electricity for comfort, and we guzzle petroleum to make us move.   The annual figure in 2004 for the US  indicated that over 2.11 Terawatts, that’s 2,110,000,000 kilowatts were consumed in oil and gas energy.  Globally, this figure was 9.1 Terawatts.  When we burn, we expel energy. 

The energy is born as a hot and tepid exhaust stream, soaked with the products of combustions, CO2 and Aqua.  These exhaust streams typically leave hot, but they cool.   How do they cool?  They interact with the surroundings based on the Laws of Thermodynamics.  Hot becomes cool.  Equilibrium is restored. 

But I ask you, where does this expelled heat go?  Equilibrium right?  Let me present to you the postulation; all mass and energy is trapped within our atmosphere.  Our energy streams do not have the capacity to break through our atmosphere. 

When we pump energy out, it expels its heat.  That heat is immediately dissipated to increase the temperature around its elements.   

If we follow this on a logarithmic scale, at a finite distance, would we not have the smallest effect? 

We still impact the immediate temperature around us, off to a distant future.  It is still accountable in our perfect sphere. 

可燃燃焼を起こす可能性があります  (Flammability may cause Combustion)

Within our sphere, we are all.  Within our sphere, we are tall.  Within our sphere, we watch it fall.  Within our sphere, we build it all. 

A beaker holds specified volumes of fluids, like 1 ounce in a shot glass – volume – holds stuff – 3-D’s a pretty fantastic place.  The earth is a volume.  A sphere – land and water underneath us, air above us.  Well we can see air – or can we?  I see clouds when I look up at the sky.  So what absorbs heat?  Well, everything around us does.  The ground, my hand, that fish, those rocks, someone’s bike, the air.  I could go on.  We also breathe heat.  But yes, the simple truth is that the air does soak up heat.  Quite ravagely too – like the evil forces of entropy are lurking their menacing ways.  The heat drifts off until it finds a home through the air, often heading straight for the clouds, open spaces. 

Volume, V

Is equal to the space it occupies.  We are a sphere.  Our earth and our atmosphere.  The earth occupies 1.08 x 10²¹ cubic meters.   The volume of the atmosphere and stratosphere occupies approximately 1.109 x 10²¹ cubic meters.   The average temperature of the earth is 13.8 degrees Celsius.  The average temperature of the atmosphere and stratosphere is roughly -30 degree Celsius.  The specific heat of the ground (excluding aqua) is roughly 1 kJ/kg deg C.  The specific heat of the atmosphere is roughly 1 kJ/kg-°C.    The mass of the earth is roughly 3.82 x 10¹⁵ kg.   The mass of the atmosphere is roughly 5.15 x 10¹⁸ kg.

When we pump out heat, it escapes to the nearest sink – a heat sink.  So when we pump out 9.1 TW of heat energy from oil and gas, things heat up.  With this amount of heat dissipated across the atmosphere, temperatures rise. 

Central Air

The heats we pump out are localized.  Central to our cities and homes, but when we over-populate, we end up stacking up on top of each other concentrating the plumes of heat.  Let’s say it plumes out 4 km into a sphere – if 0.11 TW of energy (5% of US’s energy consumption) a volume could hold up to 1 deg C of temperature change in that space!  All this heat is being dissipated.  Spread out across the atmosphere.  This by definition is global warming.  We pump out heat from our cars and homes and emission stacks.  Heat is being dissipated into the air.  How does heat equilibrate.  By finding a balance – cold and heat.  Heat is being pushed out and creating auras of energy.  We can see it from our heavens.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Our jet streams.  Just a convergent energy.  I see balance in this art.  Cold air rushing south.  Hot air rushing north.  Magical magnets directing traffic.  Cold at the polar cells, warm and cool air currents abroad. 

Cold goes south.  Hot goes north. Thermodynamics tutoring their paths. 

But what if we disrupt this harmony somehow.  Let’s increase temperature and add heat to this system.

 

 

The Sine Wave

I see a sine wave in this picture.  A wave of fluctuation.   Strong air currents are being swept away by warm waters. 

A Chinook Crawled  Up Alaska one January morning, bringing record warm temperatures.  A Chinook in Alaska – Fairbanks no less? Don’t you need warm coastal winds to create Chinooks?  Why are there warm coastal winds in Alaska – in Fairbanks no less? 

The heat that may have caused this effect could undoubtedly be pointed back at humans.  We may be pumping out 2 TW of energy into the system above in a short period of time.   Chinooks like this may happen.  When Chinooks like this happen, you may see a weather pattern and jet stream like the one pictured.  

We may see violent winds, erratic snow, warmth, where there is cold, and cold where there is warmth.  An equilibrium which is unbalanced.  Let’s try not to sweat.

Renewability

I spend some days thinking of my sleep patterns.  When I rest my eyes, I fall into my subconscious, yet out of nothing, I trigger awake to spend my conscious thoughts with the world.  I Renew myself. 

The subconscious travellings are wonderful – bouncing around mysterious worlds with mysterious people.  I always wake up after remembering a dream in complete conscious awe. 

When I do wake up and am stuck in the conscious awe, my consciousness kicks in its programmed neurotransmitters to tell me to drink some water.  And I do.  I recycle my wastes and am off to the outside world. 

It is in the outside world that I see a rat race.  Every one charging and racing – gotta get to my desk, file my TCP forms, when’s 2 weeks up – is my cheque early?  

We do this in an attempt to better ourselves – make a living, eat, sleep and worry.  But is this bettering ourselves?  No – because we worry.  I worry. 

Things are on a much grander scale of worry at this point on our planet.  We have imbalances in every major theme our global media portrays.  War – an imbalance.  Health and Food – an imbalance.  Wealth – an imbalance.  The environment – an imbalance. 

The counterweight to our scale of justice and balance – could be technology.  Let’s prop it up on the other end of the imbalance – 

War, Health and Food, Wealth, The Environment on one side                               Technology on the other side.

War can be eliminated in the concept of free-trade technology sharing.  Every invention is typically patented on a global scale.  Every technology will have value as an invention, and every country will have the opportunity to build what they please.  But balance must be maintained through fair trade of goods.   A global value on food, metals, petroleum, and energy must be adopted, and not adapted, to every one on the planet.  Transportation tariffs will exist, but until we find ways to transport with electricity, the tariffs could always exist.  Once we do this, technology will no longer impede a nation’s prosperity.  The war machines, will hopefully not be needed, because we all share the same thing – technology.  Our lines divided now shared – with technology.

Health can be improved with the use of Technology.  Antiseptics and medical operations can now save lives and keep people motivated and energetic.  Let’s keep using technology for Health.  This is truly a no-brainer.

Food can be our Garden of Eden with Technology.  Genetic modifications on plants in a controlled environment with minimal chances of contamination are ideal.  We genetically mutate ourselves and our animals – let’s leave the magic to the Unnameable.  Humans are quite evolved as it is.  But I can see a Bio-dome.  Not the Polly Shore slapstick, but a Bio-Dome of growth and vegetative mastery.  Recipes can evolve to make the taste of a Brussels’ sprout phenomenal – we can also do this with protein-balanced meals that taste like it should taste with the right spices. 

Wealth can be balanced with Technology.  My wealth and your wealth may be two different things, but if we both happy, with our comforts and TVs, and Computers, and Cell Phones, and Movies, and Leisure – wealth and technology can be balanced. 

The environment must be protected with technology.  We have to understand our interactions with our environment to protect it with technology.  We have to study and educate others to our environment, and our universe.  When we do this, we can put in place the right technologies for betterment.  I saw a man today be inaugurated that built his platform with words of renewable energies.  If he leads us to a path that can create a renewable cause – then we could be balanced. 

I speak of renewability.  My current aspirations are to seek out questions and answers on renewability.  I’d like to understand what materials are necessary at what cost and how many people will it take to build in what time.  When I can understand this, and the benefit of the technology, then I can find my balance.

The things that tie the heart

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 7.7 – 7.11

The world's best selling book is full of proverbs.  Good and bad.  Ok I'll admit I haven't read much of it, so I'm assuming there are good and bad parts – with the role of Religion and Religious factions now a-days who knows what is good.  This passage from Matthew kinda tugs at one's heart strings, but doesn't untie, or unite. 

You see, I classify myself as a tree-hugger.  Sure, why not?  Go hug one once in awhile.  Piss on one, it don't care – it's a tree.   Fertilizer'll help it stretch and grow shelter for the seekers and finders.  These seekers and finders can become providers to supply askers for shelter.  Trees are great.  They grow, they seed, they grow, and so on.  By stretching their branches and sheltering the ground, they also extend their roots and belly out their trunks.  The trunks can then be turned into such stunning and fabulous get-away cottages, or even better, practical shelter for us.  Trees, regrow, and re-shelter when needed. So with the environment we've got shelter, or a location for health and warmth.   One of my favourite kickers is that it also biodegrades.  So after a lifetime of spewing oxygen, trees also recycle.  

So the environment can provide shelter needed for health and warmth.  Can it also provide energy for comfort and warmth?  Sure why the hell not – well, I guess that is until hell freezes over and warmth ceases to exist.  But hell freezing over?  Never, right Matthew? Evil's always going to have a home.   But, what if the environment provides heat and comfort, why do we need Hell anymore.  Evil can just kiss my hairy yellow ass (thank you Homer Simpson).   But yes, energy from the earth.  Falling from the skies above the sun will heat us and always provide comfort.  I'm talking solar cells, geothermal pumps, tidal waves, Get 'em while their hot!   Everything that makes the earth alive and well will also keep us alive and well. 

A healthy body – what is this… I've been healthy, to a certain extent and a few scares with my mental health – but I eat.  I'm warm, I brush my teeth, I sleep.  And boy do I like to eat.  In moderation though.  I eat what I need.  Don't get me wrong, I do indulge – BBQ has done some good.  Sure it involves generating smoke emissions, but damn is it tasty!  So yeah, I'm healthy.  What keeps me healthy?  Like I said a bit of food, a bit of sleep, and time away from work.  When I was sick, I was taken care of by the Healthcare System.  Sure I have seen some good and bad examples of the HCS, but there are some good.  Healthcare is the true essence to a free world, no one suffering.  Patients getting the care they need to be fed and clothed and sheltered and healthy would be ultimate in reducing sufferance.  So for healthcare to work, we must be first be healthy.

Hospitals… check.  The sick and needy… check.  Staff… …. Staff… … staff??  Why isn't our healthcare propped up more?   Why do doctors pay huge amounts of money to become doctors?  Why aren't  doctors simply trained and tested.  And remove the doctor label dude.  Doctors, nurses, chiropractors, heck even dentists can be included.  Train 'em.   Teach 'em.  The world will need 'em.  Don't pay big amounts of money to get trained, simply be trained and heal and be healthy. 

Shelter… well, if the woods can't shelter us, let's dig ourselves up.  Mine the calcium hydroxide to mix cement and form concrete.  Dig the aggregate, mix, and build.   Of course, let's preferentially choose the woods.  The woods look nicer than rock and sand anyways. 

Clothing – this is where I fall off the map.  What the hell is up with the clothing industry today?  I speak from my North American roots when I say wtf?  Ok, I've worn labels – but does the label have to be made up of plastic and oil?  Clothes should be stitching and fabric – ok and a label on the inside reminding of washing instructions, and perhaps initials in case boxers shorts are mixed up.  But who doesn't know how to wash clothes?  We can leave those instructions for ourselves, or on Wiki… holy cow – wikihow – really (I just googled Washing Clothes for the first time).  With pictures and steps and tips.  Holy cow.  And ads?   Wow.  Anyways, I fell off the map – I knew it!  Clothing does reflect the individual, but when the individual tears off labels, then maybe it'll work.  We can keep the major brands, but let's embroider 'em, stitch em to say whatever you want – just no oil or plastic please. 

Food.  This is my strong suit.  I love food, all with the exception of pineapple.  Food and eating are two of my favourite things – or is that one thing?  Mmm… bacon… so freakin good.  Nothin like eatin a pulled pork sandwich while employing the 'Ten' and 'Two' hand position.  So let's eat – I'm hungry.  Hungry and eating – now that's definitely two of my favourite things.  So let's grow and herd – humanely of course.  No prods or guns – just land and earth.  When it's grown, let's cook!   Emeril for vice-chairman of food!  Let's party – let's eat – let's indulge.  But do talk to your doctor.  Know what's good, what's bad, and what's ugly.  Overindulgence is ugly.  Talk to your doctor about that too. 

So we got em all tied together – the environment and healthcare, the environment can supply us with food, clothing, shelter.  We need to buck up the doctors and we got ourselves a pretty good deal.   Two parties working together.  H and E.  We need a third party to tie our knot… how about energy, the secondary E.

Energy equals comfort.  Knowing we'll always be warm harnessing energy.  Well , sometimes the sun don't shine, the wind don't blow sweet whistling noises and the rain don't fall, and puddles don't gather rain.  We'll need to use resources that aren't eternal.  But these limited resources cannot be misused.  We must balance priorities to make this happen.  Prioritize renewable energies, true energies that won't interrupt healthcare or the environment, but allow some limited resource use to reduce any frictions that may disrupt health from the environment.  The perfect energy and the third party to tie a knot, the secondary E.

In my previous analogy to the laws of thermodynamics, I used a three-party system – let me try a four-party system and throw good ol' Safety watchdog in the mix.  Safety will be the group, or the S Group in my previous Thermodynamic Law analysis.  We need something to keep our knots tied and laces tight. 

The Zeroth Law

The zeroth law is always tricky, how can you define nothingness, zero?  I like the word Harmony.  Such a graceful pronounciation, and such a paradox in its reduction.  Harmony reduced is literally and figuratively Harm.  If I named a daughter Harmony, the nickname when in trouble would be Harm.   Harmony is my equilibrium.  Equalness.  Which is why I used Harmony to describe the S, I, P party analogy with the zeroth law.  So harmony between the Safety, Health, Environment and Energy – the S, H, E, E party.   How can we accomplish this?   Prioritizing.  Hey, I've lied in my day, hurt, stole.  I always felt remorse.  But I have not yet mastered prioritization.  I've worked the oil and gas industry.   I've observed them, caught them, tied them into little bows only to have them continue to shit on my little piece of heaven – harmony.  Oil and gas is a priority that will disrupt the zeroth law.  We must reduce it's entropy and energy of greed to nothingness.  We must untie the knot we've dug into the base of our backs and breathe the fresh clean air.  How do you master priority?  With another vice – control.  But control must be balanced – harmonized.  An overseeing group must prioritize those that matter most to us, comfort and Safety.  Safety must watch over health, environment and energy.  We must protect what gives us comfort, ourselves and our planet.  If control pushes energy, health or environment to a path which will break the zeroth law of harmony, then we've got to utilize our first and second laws to re-centre the priority list.

The First Law

The first law adds energy to systems, and any created energy is lost to the surroundings.  We need to harmonize this to battle for control of the zeroth law.   If we use natural gas to heat our homes, we must ensure it's carbon dioxide emissions are harmonized and not used to expel into the atmosphere – we must continue to recycle.  Otherwise, harmony is unbalanced, and the zeroth law is broken.  The technology is there – let's employ the masses to use and cherish this technology.

The Second Law

We are witnessing today a rampant increase to the second law in Safety, Health, Environment and Energy.  The second law currently controls the SHEE party.  We have disregard for keeping our comforts close, we let masses go hungry, we are expanding our atmosphere with pollutants and disrupting earth's harmony and we are using energy as the driver.  Energy has become too prevalent.   Perhaps not too prevalent, but we found a product which is lazy – we dig, we pump, we burn.  But burning isn't as trivial as you think, to burn, we also add more heat to upgrade, to refine to consume.  And have lost our ways in reduce, reuse, recycle.  Energy today comes from a source that is greedy and is fed by entropy.  In the second law application to this topic, I also like to define unkempt energy as the second law in practice.  The second law states that expansion will continually occur to a maximum.  That is what we are doing to our atmosphere.  Expanding and increasing entropy by releasing carbon dioxide emissions by breaking the zeroth and first law.  We are not harmonized and our earth is showing us and will show us what the third law can do.

The Third Law

I get sad when I think of the things that I do.  I can call myself a sceptical pessimist.  But I observe.  What I currently observe is a nation unwilling to support reducing our poisoning of the atmosphere.  I witness drought, flooding, starvation, hurricanes, avalanches and sorrow.  I also believe in gravity and forces.  I don't quite know the science, but the earth is made up of six defined atmospheric layers.  The troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere and the exosphere.

The troposphere is between 7 to 17 km in the sky.  Accepts all our emissions waste, re-condenses them and spits it back down at us.  We interact with the troposphere directly.  Heating warms air currents creates winds and carries water to far reaches of our planet.  As temperatures cool, water vapours condense and recycle to the beauty of the water cycle.   So what happens when we heat too much?  Less condensation.   Less recycling.  And we put pressure on the Stratosphere.  We break the laws.

The stratosphere is a latin word for stretching out.   The stratosphere stretches out to 50 km into the heavens.  The stratosphere contains ozone which wraps our planet in a security, or safety blanket, always hugging us.  What happens when we push too hard and put pressure on the hug?  The hug loosens.  The stratosphere stretches and we lose security.

The mesosphere and thermosphere and second and third security blankets.  Meteors often burn up in these layers due to the tighly packed bunch of particles in the meso and thermo spheres.  Recall that this is roughly 600 km to the heavens and radial forces are very subtle.  We push out on those radial forces slightly and expose ourselves to chaos. 

The final layers are our ionosphere and exosphere.  Our giant magnet.  Magnetic forces always fascinated me – the innate, the intrinsic.  From the minds,

"The term intrinsic denotes a property of some thing or action which is essential and specific to that thing or action, and which is wholly independent of any other object, action or consequence. A characteristic which is not essential or inherent is extrinsic."

Is our giant magnet intrinsic or innate, belonging to the essential nature of something?  Are we finding out?  Will the magnetic shield hold our push outward – or are we tied to the consequence of our action.  Will our magnetic shield hold back the incoming solar radiation and continue to create the aurora?  Another nice name – aurora – the roman goddess of dawn and the greek word for wind.  The only way to answer this is to observe.  I tried seeking answers to this in documentaries, and found "Holes in Heaven?" – a study into the development of electricity to be generated in the ionosphere… seems innate.    

What I fear and what ties my heart is this worry.  We do not yet know the consequences of our actions.  What if we lose our atmosphere?  What is there is no security blanket protecting us and keeping us safe?  That is truly what ties my heart. 

Entropy reaches maximums.  We must pull back.  We must rear in our vices like greed and pull back.  Re-centre and find out what are our priorities. 

Priorities should drive us back to safety and control – of our environment, health and energy.

How do we re-prioritize?  Technology – systemic change. 

Teaching, training and experiencing – systemic change. 

We can do this with education reform.  Education will be our security blanket.  Knowing and understanding will drive us.  Early childhood development can predetermine one's aptitude.  Hey, some kids liked shop class and building cars, some kids liked taking pictures.  I liked math and equations.  Why do kids need to be forced into things they don't want to do?  Control.  Let's teach our kids this.  We can protect our heaven – right Matthew?

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 7.12
