Communications

Leo Crocker Rogers

It used to be that just ½ electrons could communicate with one another faster than the speed of light. Now two light photons (are there any other kind?), a photon and a cesium atom can instantaneously talk. Moving toward molecules, and once molecules, mice, and then people communicating with people instantaneously. Also very fast computers that will have the ability to send messages faster than the speed of light, which is helpful if your significant other is on Mars and you are on Venus – well maybe.

Now here is a good one and should warp your mind. He said, "Stars don't exert gravitational force on a planet, Instead, they bend space and warp time. The path a planet takes through curved space around a star just looks like gravitational attraction to us." What we see is not what we get. What we get is what we want to see. Mighty strange those physicists. By the way, I do not know who the "he" is in the quote. CSM p16 Oct 5 ‘06

Talking about warped thinking; I can purchase a huge tire from Discount Tire for some $50.00 and by the time they dismount the old tire, charge me for the salvage of the old tire, replace the valve stem, mount the new tire and balance it, the tire cost is $70.00. However, they will rotate the tires, rebalance the tires, and repair flats for free. Okay, ready for the warp. A rear tire for my 1400 Intruder motorcycle cost, mounted and balanced, $140.00. Okay, three times as small and twice the price of my Seville tire, but here comes the light warp. To repair a flat is not free, no sir eey. It is $63.00. To repair a flat!! Smoking light beams, $63.00. Half the cost of a new tire. Cost warp, that is what it is.

Studies show that when a placebo is administered, it has the greatest effect when the pain level is somewhat elevated. The higher the pain, the more effective the placebo. The same with messages to men. The larger the swat, the better the retention of the message. Moderation in all things, however. The idea is to get the attention, not to harm. In Horse Whisperers, they did the same thing. They did not swat the horse, but they did bring it into physical submission which is a slower and more demanding way than a pop to the body. You cannot pop a horse and do much, so the slow hobbling is used. Keep in mind, for men and boys, the pop, which is effective, must be understood to be in love, like a football player popping another – "good job". I saw a football official swat a quarterback on the butt yesterday after the quarterback was decked. "It is okay, good job. Hang tight." Men are that way. A little pop here and there is love, like on the NCIS program, a pop to the head is saying, "Were you thinking?" "Get with it." Dad’s do this to their sons. So I guess there is a sense of being loved when the administration of the placebo is done with a pop. We all know that love heals, and this is just another case, cleverly disguised as it is.
