This update is added in order is to address a recent sophisticated yet simultaneously clumsy attempt to try to discredit the Theory of the Big Bang/Big Crunch Infinite Cycle of the Universe and to render confusion in a paper and book by Stephen Hawking crony, Robert Penrose, plus some political updating:

Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics

The Capitalist Dictatorship Deliberately Falsifies Basic Science!
Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, Wendy Freedman, Dennis
Overbye, Nicholas Wade, Brian Greene, etc. Are Exposed as Liars!
Self-Described Neo-Creationists Hawking and Kaku Are
Leading a Takeover Attempt of Theoretical Astrophysics!

Today basic medicine, science including climatology, astrophysics and even both Einstein?s Special Theory and General Theory of Relativity are brazenly and routinely falsified at the direction of genuinely Fascist elements for political/religious reasons. These scientifically fabricated and bizarre distortions are mixed in with some actual science and are passed off as ?the new science? in exhaustive mesmerizing falsifications lasting for hours on NOVA, FRONTLINE, National Geographic Channel, CUNY TV, ?Discovery Channel? and even the so-called ?History Channel.? There is also a simultaneous attempt to create a sense of panic in order to help generate the Mass Psychology of Crisis based on falsely claimed imminent threats from space from rogue asteroids to Stephen Hawking?s alarmist claim of future invasions by inevitably hostile space aliens. See section below on UFOs and Extraterrestrial Life. In addition, the above-mentioned so-called ?cosmologists? publish an endless stream of books, videos and magazine and newspaper articles, not to mention the new textbooks, to try to popularize their fiction and pass it off as good coin. The media, including the science media is simply a privatized arm of the U.S. ?intelligence agency,? an actual army of legions of professional liars in every area of politics and academic discipline and includes even so-called ?comedians? working in service to the capitalist dictatorship of millionaires and billionaires. The U.S. media is very similar to Blackwater, Dyncorp, Custer Battles and Triple Canopy, etc. the armed military contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, except that the media has always been privatized. Can you say Total Brainwash of the youth? Not to mention the adult population! Note that Stephen Hawking and Michio Kaku, who are leading the takeover attempt of theoretical astrophysics and ?cosmology,? now both openly describe themselves as neo-creationist/?intelligent design? advocates and are campaigning through their statements to make neo-creationism the default belief taught in schools, colleges and universities! (See below.) Although Hawking simultaneously tries to deny this all his statements are contrived to lead to the same ?conclusion.? The title and contents of Hawking?s book: ?The Grand Design? is an example.

There is also a maximal attempt to confuse the masses in order to keep them susceptible to the constant stream of lies originating from NASA and the U.S. government. These lies include but are not limited to multiple false theories of the origin of life which include: 1.) so-called ?panspermia,? 2.) evolution of life from submarine vents and now preposterously 3.) hypothetical civilizations based on arsenic (!) not phosphorus, all of which are fully disproved below. NASA first threatened to ram through a revisit of the Moon and a Mars mission before Obama under some public pressure temporarily cancelled the Moon and Mars ventures and made asteroids the first priority in order to lay the groundwork for an asteroid fear campaign to help reinforce the Mass Psychology of Crisis partially achieved by the ?War on Terror,? complete with multiple U.S.-government-assisted and/or instigated mass provocations. U.S. ?intelligence? has increased the number of these provocations in order to manipulate support for the Final Stage of Capitalism: Permanent War and State Terrorism! See below. There is also no possibility that a manned trip to Mars would ever return. Rocketry is a primitive form of space travel and there is no acknowledged attempt of efforts to develop the nuclear powered electromagnetic anti-gravity engine used by so-called UFOs, which are documented to have visited the Earth for Millennia. Such ?space missions? along with ?Supply-Side Economics? and the $4.7 trillion bank bailouts (!), are another fraudulent pretext to divert money from social spending and to decrease the U.S. living standard in accordance with Globalism, while trying simultaneously to try to boost U.S. patriotism from its nadir. The widespread academic opposition to these far-ranging falsifications of science in order to manipulate the public consciousness is never given equal time! We demand and will take some time to refute the U.S.-led capitalist dictatorship?s lies.

The Capitalist Dictatorship?s Attempt to Falsify the
Age of the Universe to Help Provide False Belief in ?god?

The capitalists have tried to falsify the actual age of the Universe and the infinite cycle of a Big Bang followed by a Big Crunch, meaning a closed rather than an open Universe, because the reality of a closed Universe does not fit with the religious brainwash of a single creation and belief in a supernatural fictitious ?god.? (The statecraft of capitalism?s alliance with religion and belief in ?god? and other superstition is exposed further below.) The reality is that the process of contraction of the Universe began soon after the Big Bang, which began the process of expansion. The process of contraction began with the first condensations of gas after the Big Bang. At first the process of expansion was dominant, but the processes of expansion and contraction exist simultaneously from shortly after the Big Bang until finally the process of contraction becomes dominant and all galactic matter is finally drawn into Supermassive Black Holes, which today form the centers of all spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies in the process of becoming spiral galaxies. These Supermassive Black Holes, which are growing larger continuously, finally link up all existing matter of the Universe at one spot, one huge super-maximal Black Hole known as the Singularity in the Big Crunch, at which time Critical Mass in the true and ultimate sense is reached for another Big Bang Cycle and the beginning of another Universe. This analysis clearly and conclusively demonstrates that THERE WAS NO ?MOMENT OF CREATION? because all the matter for this Universe already existed in its pure nuclear form in the Singularity from a previous Big Crunch which preceded the Big Bang which began our present Universe. And the origin of matter is PROVED to be an unknowable. (See below.) This is the ONLY explanation which fits the facts! See below for comment on Roger Penrose and his recently published paper and book where he invents a highly contrived but easily disproved counter ?theory? to the Big Bang Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe in order to try to discredit the cyclic nature of the Universe.

Ninety-five Percent of Matter in the Universe Exists in the Form of Energy According
To Einstein?s Formula E=mc2! Black Holes Completely Reverse that Relationship and
Solve the Equation for Mass: m=E/c2 thus Supplying the so-called ?Missing Mass?!

The critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity, which predicted Black Holes. Neutrinos are now known to have mass which may be sufficient to supply the supposed ?missing mass.? (See below.) But probably even more significant is the recent paper in Science, November 21, 2008, (Vol. 322, 5905:1198-1199 and 1124-1127), which shows that 95% of matter in the Universe exists in the form of energy according to Einstein?s formula E=mc2. This relationship would reverse in a Black Hole and the so-called ?missing mass? would gradually appear as the contraction of the Universe allowed the energy-mass relationship to shift so that in a practical and real sense Einstein?s formula would be solved for mass: m=E/c2. Though the authors of the paper fail to draw this conclusion that is the inescapable significance of those papers. See below. The fact that the expansion and contraction of the Universe occur simultaneously is one more example of the Law of Unity of Opposites, the Second Law of Dialectical and Historical Materialism and demonstrates the correctness of the scientific philosophy of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, as opposed to the false philosophies of idealism and metaphysics, which are the only philosophies permitted to be seriously taught in U.S. colleges and universities, and which form the underlying basis for all phony ?cosmological? theory! See further below!

Black Holes Rotate on an Axis and Have
Mass and a Size, which Can Be Calculated!

In addition, in the Big Crunch matter most certainly does NOT collapse to ?less than the size of a single molecule,? a totally ridiculous assertion by the so-called ?string theorists? (see below) designed to try to discredit the Theory of the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe. The Black Hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is 15 million miles in diameter?not ?the size of a single molecule?! Black Holes are formed exclusively of condensed nuclear material; protons and neutrons (composed of quarks) and electrons (composed of leptons) devoid of their orbits and all motion, all collapsed together. The end point of all matter in the Big Crunch is a Single Black Hole, the so-called ?Singularity.? The size of the final ?Singularity? which forms prior to the Big Bang would thus be quite large because it must contain all the nuclear material in the entire Universe. All Black Holes have the same mass density, which is said to be infinite, and which vary only in actual mass depending on how many stars and how much nuclear material they contain. The only difference is the difference in mass, which is constantly increasing as matter changes from its energy form when entering a Black Hole. See above cited article in Nature, November 21, 2008. Note that while some of the information provided below may appear to be somewhat technical it is necessary for any subsequent challenges which might be made of this dialectical and historical materialist analysis. An educated reader should be able to understand most of it and follow for the most part the explanations, which have in turn vast political implications. A few key references are provided and the reader can research the area independently.

Black Holes have mass and size just as neutron stars (pulsars) also have mass!! All Black Holes, both Stellar Black Holes and Supermassive Black Holes (the result of combination of millions of solar masses) which form the center of evolving elliptical galaxies and all spiral galaxies, also rotate extremely rapidly just like neutron stars, some of which are estimated to be only 8 to 20 miles in diameter, and rotate in 1.4 milliseconds to 30 seconds! Black Holes rotate as fast or faster. All stars rotate on a central axis to some degree due to the angular momentum of gas approaching the center of the proto-star prior to the ignition of hydrogen fusion. In other words the gravitational collapse of gas in star formation is not uniform just as its opposite, an explosion such as the Big Bang is not uniform. When the radius of the star is reduced drastically in stellar collapse the angular momentum remains the same but the momentum of inertia is sharply reduced. The standard example is that of a figure skater spinning with outstretched arms who speeds up by pulling in his/her arms. Black Holes are formed from the collapse of the largest Blue Giant stars 5 to 20 or more solar masses. Neutron stars are formed from the explosion of stars with 1.35 to 2.1 solar masses in a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova explosion. The rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes is in fact the reason Spiral Galaxies exist in the flattened disk form they do with spiral arms?because of the huge gravitational force exerted by the rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes which form their galactic centers! As mentioned this fact is entirely covered up and denied by the phony NASA ?scientists? on television, e.g., National Geographic TV. As the rotating Supermassive Black Hole in the galactic center gradually increases in size through accumulation/accretion of more stellar material and gas, the early elliptical galaxies, in the process of becoming a spiral galaxies, begin to flatten due to the rapid rotation of the Supermassive Black Hole in their center which causes the flattening. It should also be noted that as would be expected there exist a high number of stellar black holes in the galactic center drawn by their strong gravitational fields on their way to join the central Supermassive Black Hole. According to observations of the Chandra X-Ray Telescope released in a July 16, 2005 report there are 10,000 stellar black holes along with numerous neutron stars orbiting the Supermassive Black Hole in the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy, officially designated Sagittarius A (SGR A)! The Supermassive Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way has a mass of 3.7 million solar masses. The largest known Supermassive Black Hole in the OJ 287 Quasar contains 18 billion solar masses!

The spiral arms comprised of outlying stars are formed by the combination of the gravitational force coming from the rapidly rotating galactic center and the relative gravitational attraction of one outlying star to another based on their actual distances from one another. As the outlying stars approach neighboring stars due to gravity this leaves other areas where stars are much less concentrated giving rise to the appearance of usually 2 major spiral arms originating from each end of the central bar often found in the galactic center, as well as several minor spiral arms, all of which are actually in the process of being gradually drawn inexorably toward the galactic center. The gravitational force of the Black Hole, the mass of which is steadily increasing, gradually overcomes the outward centrifugal force caused by its rapid rotation. Central bars form after the Supermassive Black Hole in the center of a large spiral galaxy reaches a certain size and are therefore found more prevalently in more massive galaxies where the required mass is reached sooner. Central bars form when stellar orbits in a spiral galaxy become unstable and deviate from a circular path. The tiny elongations in the stars' orbits grow and become locked into place, forming a bar. The bar becomes even stronger as it locks more and more of these elongated orbits into place. Eventually a high fraction of the stars in the galaxy's inner region join the bar. The galactic center thus attracts both gas and stars. This concentration of gas at the center of spiral galaxies does result in the formation of new stars but does not represent the primary or original source of star formation, which occurs in the beginning of formation of galaxies from gravitational condensation and collapse of primordial gas clouds. The central bars draw a large amount of gas towards the galactic center, fueling this new star formation, building central bulges of stars, and feeding the Supermassive central Black Hole. The formation of a bar may be one of the last stages in the evolution of a spiral galaxy prior to its eventual total collapse entirely into its central Supermassive Black Hole.

Information Overload by NASA and U.S. Government Propagandists is used to Distract
Focus Away from the Significance and Central Role Black Holes Play in the Process
Of Contraction of the Universe which Finally Becomes Dominant in the Big Crunch!

In the interest of accuracy it is also important to mention that this information is being misused by NASA and other U.S. government propagandists to try to distract from and obscure the significance of black holes and the central role black holes play in the process of contraction of the Universe, which ultimately becomes dominant over the simultaneous process of expansion. First, it is a fact that matter generally enters a black hole through a combination of both gravitation and magnetism. Matter in the accretion disk, which spins around the black hole, can only enter the black hole after it loses its angular momentum. The inertia of the material in the accretion disk keeps it spiraling in a disk rather than falling straight into the black hole. The inertia in turn is due to the mass of the material in the disc and the gravitational field caused by the extremely rapid rotation of the black hole itself. An accretion disc is a rotating disk of gas, dust and other matter that may form around any of a variety of stars or other massive objects from protostars to white dwarfs to neutron stars to stellar black holes and Supermassive Black Holes and even quasars (see below). While the accretion disc of a young star or protostar usually contains dust which later consolidates or accretes to form planets and other objects, the accretion disk of a black hole, which may also contain stars, feeds matter directly into the black hole.

According to a report in the July 22, 2006 Nature, and another 2008 paper by F. Casse Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 50 124020 (9pp) confirming the 1973 theory of Starobinsky and Churilov, the spinning gas in an accretion disc generates its own magnetic field which powers a wind of charged particles directed away from the black hole. The wind of charged particles transfers angular momentum from the inner regions of the disk outward in a twin jet phenomenon perpendicular to the plane of the accretion disk allowing angular momentum to be conserved, meaning to remain balanced or constant. This transfer of angular momentum outward slows down the spinning gas near the center, allowing gravitation to draw matter into the black hole. The magnetic field also causes turbulence and friction to build up within the disk. The friction heats up the gas to millions of degrees, causing it to glow brilliantly in the ultraviolet and X-ray bands. In Supermassive Black Holes large jets of plasma flow away from the accretion disc perpendicular to its center at almost the speed of light. These jets of plasma travel outward along the magnetic field lines which are twisted by the rotating accretion disk. It should be noted that the material which flows outward in the jets represents only a tiny amount of material extracted from the accretion disk. (Plasma, which is found in the accretion disk closest to the black hole, is a partially ionized gas, where a certain proportion of electrons are free, not being bound to atoms or molecules, unlike the gas form of matter. This permits electrical conduction of magnetic fields. Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter in addition to solid, gas and liquid.

Redshift Measurement of Quasars puts
The Age of the Universe at 28 Billion Years!

The process where matter enters a black hole from its accretion disk may be greatly expanded during the formation of quasars where a Supermassive Black Hole at a galactic Center accretes a huge amount of matter in the order of billions of stars. When two black holes combine or a stellar black hole enters a Supermassive Black Hole in a galactic center the process causes the emission of radio waves and even visible light. When hundreds of millions to billions of stars and enormous amounts of gas first combine to create a Supermassive Black Hole in the center of a galaxy the energy released is exponentially increased and is known as a quasar. In a quasar this radiation is emitted across the entire spectrum almost equally, from X-rays to the far-infrared with a peak in the ultraviolet-optical bands, with some quasars also being strong sources of radio emission and of gamma-rays. Quasars are the most visibly luminous objects in the Universe and are also the strongest energy source in the Universe. A quasar is simply an accelerated process of formation of a Supermassive Black Hole in an early galaxy. The release of gravitational energy by matter falling towards a massive black hole in the formation of a quasar is the only process known that can produce such high power continuously, energy far greater than the fusion process which powers stars. Quasars easily outshine their host galaxies. (The light we see is from the huge superheated accretion disk, which is greatly enlarged due to the high density of matter in such galaxies. Stellar explosions such as Supernovas and gamma-ray bursts can create the same level of energy, but only for a few minutes. Gamma ray bursts are generated by hypernova, which are simply very large supernova, the collapse of a stars with masses 100 to 200 times that of the sun. Contrary to the lies designed to create confusion, which appear on the National Geographic so-called Discovery Channel ?How the Universe Works? programs, not all early galaxies possessed enough mass to produce a quasar. There is no evidence for example, that the Milky Way Galaxy, as claimed by Micho Kaku & Co. was a quasar! The Supermassive Black Hole at its center is far too small! And the mass extinction on Earth 440-450 million years ago was undoubtedly NOT caused by a gamma ray burst from a hypernova, but from the continental drift of a large landmass (Gondwana) into the south polar region causing a global temperature drop, glaciation and lowering of sea level which destroyed 60% of habitats around the continental shelves at a time when all life was confined to the seas and oceans. Evidence documenting this was found in deposits in the Sahara Desert.

All observed quasar spectra have red shifts between 0.06 and 6.5. Applying Hubble's law to these red shifts, it can be shown that they are between 780 million and 28 billion light-years away, a measurement which is NOT due to gravitational lensing, although this has been reported for some extremely bright quasars. This is proof that the Universe itself is at least 28 billion years old! So the most recent ?estimates? of the Hubble Constant and the actual age of the Universe by NASA, Wendy Freedman and company and the media (a privatized arm of the U.S. ?intelligence community?) are obviously TOTALLY FALSE! (See below.) The process of quasar formation occurred regularly in the early Universe in the formation of galaxies with huge densely concentrated gas and stars. It should be obvious that the first galaxies to form in the Universe generally contained the highest volume and concentration of gas, which in turn created the highest concentration and densities of stars. The Supermassive Black Holes at the center of those early galaxies became quasars. Galaxies without such high densities of matter develop more along the lines of our own Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda, for example. Formation of galaxies is still occurring but generally they do not become quasars because the volume and density of gas is insufficient. An exception is 3C 273 in the constellation Virgo which is only 33 light years away with a luminosity equal to 2 trillion times that of our sun or about 100 times the total light of the Milky Way. Their discovery by Maarten Schmidt in 1967 was early strong evidence against the totally discredited steady state theory of Fred Hoyle, and in favor of the Big Bang Theory. Blazers, incidentally are the same as quasars but have their perpendicular jets in direct alignment with our galaxy, while quasars have their jets pointed away in another direction.

As part of the escalating campaign of Big Lies, in March 2009 NASA made the totally disingenuous statement on a National Geographic Channel so-called ?Naked Science? show that ?while black holes are associated with galaxies we (who we?) do not yet know what that relationship is!? (!) And on May 17, 2010, Michelle Thaler of NASA disingenuously stated: ?We do not know which comes first the galaxy or the Black Hole? (!) and further falsely stated that when 2 spiral galaxies collide the result is an elliptical galaxy ?which does not spin!? This is another Big Lie and demonstrates a very systematized structure of lies. The truth is that the elliptical galaxy in this case is only a temporary structure. The Black Holes, which drove the 2 colliding spiral galaxies, combine and a larger spiral galaxy is formed. The motive for that feigned ignorance/Big Lie by the misnamed ?intelligence community? is to try to obscure the documented reality that the matter of all galaxies is entering black holes as part of the ongoing contraction of the Universe, which begins shortly after the Big Bang and takes places simultaneously with the process of expansion and finally becomes dominant. As explained herein expansion of the Universe has slowed down enormously since the Big Bang and will be overtaken by the process of contraction until all mass in the Universe has again entered the final Black Hole, the so-called final Singularity in the Big Crunch. At that point there will be another Big Bang and another Universe will begin. In addition, NASA and other government propagandists have attempted to overemphasize the accretion disk/jet phenomenon and the huge energy produced as matter enters a black hole or quasar, almost to make it appear that black holes and quasars are ?expelling? matter as much as drawing it in, virtually standing black holes on their head and falsely ascribing all sorts of false ?observations? to black holes, in order to divert focus from the primary role of black holes as the mechanism or engine of contraction of the Universe and the beginning of the Big Crunch!

One example is the false claim by the fraudster, James Geach, hyped in the July 7, 2009 New York Times by the determined ?intelligence community? propagandist Dennis Overbye, that black holes fueled so-called Lyman alpha ?blobs,? glowing clouds of gas in the early universe. But that lie was immediately refuted with the obvious explanation that cold gas streaming into a protogalaxy would heat up and glow from the gravitational energy alone! (See: ?Lyman Alpha Blobs as an Observational Signature of Cold Accretion Streams into Galaxies? by Mark Dijkstra and Abraham Loeb, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, June 5, 2009.) These fraudulent NASA/U.S. government propagandists hope that most viewers know absolutely nothing and will believe virtually anything that they are told by someone claiming to be a ?scientist? or ?professor? and that most people will not do their own research, or will remain at least confused and vulnerable to their next bizarre fantastical claim. That is why the information which appears here should be forwarded by email and networked in every possible way nationally and internationally in order to counter the U.S. capitalist dictatorship?s Big Lies. The objective of the capitalist dictatorship is to render the population more susceptible to their lies in every area including politics and economics, which also have little to no basis in reality. The capitalist dictatorship also resorts to the come on of ?naked science? in order to try to sex-up their Big Lie propaganda in theoretical astrophysics, while simultaneously presenting some truthful ?Naked Science? reports in other areas and in other National Geographic programs in order to help their Big Lies blend in.

In response to the heavy push on the so-called ?History Channel,? etc. it should be noted that the Theory of the Big Bang was first proposed by Georges-Henri Lema￮tre, who had both a PhD in physics and was an ordained priest. Lema￮tre studied at the University of Leuven, the University of Cambridge, Harvard and MIT. The little read report was first published in 1927 in the Annales de la Soci￩t￩ Scientifique de Bruxelles (Annals of the Scientific Society of Brussels) and later in Nature: G. Lema￮tre, The Beginning of the World from the Point of View of Quantum Theory, Nature? 127 (1931), n. 3210, pp. 706. Lema￮tre called it ?the hypothesis of Primeval Atom? and also referred to it as "the Cosmic Egg exploding at the moment of the creation," with the word ?creation? obviously reflecting his religious bias. As explained above the Universe did not originate from a single point less than the size of a single molecule as falsely proposed by the string theorists, who now are pushing Lema￮tre. As explained above the end point of all matter in the Big Crunch is a Single Black Hole, the so-called ?Singularity.? As mentioned all Black Holes have the same mass density, which is said to be infinite, and which vary only in actual mass depending on how many stars and how much nuclear material they contain. The only difference is the difference in mass, which is constantly increasing as matter changes from its energy form when entering a Black Hole according to m=E/c2, Einstein?s formula from the Special Theory solved for mass. See cited article in Nature, November 21, 2008. The Singularity contains the combined mass of all nuclear material from all stars and gas in the Universe. The designation: ?Big Bang Theory? first derived from a derogatory reference to the theory of an expanding Universe by Fred Hoyle on the BBC in March 1949 over 20 years after it was first proposed. The truth as explained above and herein is that the processes of expansion and contraction of the Universe coexist from shortly after the Big Bang until finally the process of contraction becomes dominant and there is a Big Crunch followed by another Big Bang and formation of another Universe.

It is a fact that Lema￮tre applied Albert Einstein?s Theory of General Relativity to Cosmology, but was NOT a spearhead of religion supposedly leading physics as Lema￮tre is presently falsely being portrayed on the so-called ?History Channel.? Lema￮tre also preceded Edwin Hubble in deriving what became known as Hubble?s Law and even calculated the Hubble Constant but was not able to prove the linear relation which Hubble did in 1929. Lema￮tre has rarely been given the credit he is due for first proposing the Big Bang Theory for 3 reasons: 1.) The theory of an expanding Universe was opposed at the time he first proposed it by Einstein and others, 2.) For political-religious reasons explained herein the capitalist dictatorship has always opposed the Big Bang Theory because the natural logic of a Big Bang implies a Big Crunch and a cyclic nature of the Universe rather than a single creation which leaves the most room for ?a creator? and 3.) U.S. nationalism/jingoism, where the U.S. capitalist dictatorship always prefers that whenever possible credit be given to an American. Edwin Hubble was an American lawyer. Although Lema￮tre had received numerous Belgian and international scientific honors only recently have the capitalists been pushing Lema￮tre in order to focus on the fact that he was a priest and that his theory speaks of a moment of ?creation.? The so-called ?History Channel? focuses on this language in an attempt to inject the sophisticated form of neo-creationism/intelligent design also espoused by Francis Collins, Obama?s new choice for head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). See below. Both Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking have also now identified themselves as neo-creationists/?intelligent design? advocates! See below.

The Hubble Constant is a calculation of the speed at which the Universe is expanding and is crucial in calculating the age of the Universe. Four methods have been used to estimate the Hubble Constant and age of the Universe. The most recent method employed by Allan R. Sandage, et al measures: 1.) the distances to Type 1a Supernovae explosions in distant galaxies and then 2.) confirms those measurements by comparing the relative luminosities of Cepheid variable stars as so-called ?standard candles,? while Wendy Freedman?s NASA team uses Cepheid Variable stars alone, which is a lot less accurate. Freedman?s method especially is an easy method in which to either err or to deliberately falsify results as she and her NASA team have clearly done. (See below.) The typical errors in calculating the Hubble Constant include: 1.) ?the universal, yet unjustified Period-Luminosity relation of Cepheid (variable stars), 2.) neglect of selection bias in magnitude-limited samples or 3.) the errors which are inherent to the adopted models, which cause most values of the Hubble Constant and corresponding estimates of the age of the Universe to be incorrect as explained in detail in the most comprehensive review which has yet been published, which also includes the Sandage team?s most recent calculation of the Hubble Constant to date of 62.3 +or?1.3, which is based on measurements to 279 galaxies: ?The expansion field: the value of the Hubble Constant,? by G.A Tammann, A. Sandage and B. Reindl, Astron Astrophys Rev (2008), 8 July 2008, 15:289-331, DOI 10.1007/s00159-800-9912-y. ((Allan Sandage died on November 13, 2010.)

This value of the Hubble Constant corresponds to an age of the Universe of approximately 13.7 billion years, which should be sufficient to permit the Big Crunch. However even this method of calculation of the Hubble Constant, which as exhaustively explained and documented by Allan Sandage et al, is fraught with potential errors cited above, which Sandage takes account of and systematically avoids. As mentioned above Wendy Freedman and Co. on the other hand use only Cepheid variable stars in their ?calculations? and deliberately include faulty (fraudulent) data in their calculations as explained to this writer personally by Allan Sandage, therefore making Freedman & Co.?s method of determination of the Hubble Constant even easier to falsify. Such data is systematically excluded by Sandage, et al., as explained above. In response to the withering but suppressed critique by Sandage et al, known primarily only to other astrophysicists who follow these matters, Freedman has published a slew of pathetic papers addressing such topics as ?correction of errors involving optical extragalactic background light (EBL), sampling-induced errors, magnitude errors, and random and optimal sampling,? etc. where she always comes up with ridiculously high (fraudulent) values for the Hubble Constant. Fraudulent data was necessary for Freedman & Co. to reinvent the entirely fictitious so-called ?dark energy,? Einstein?s ?Cosmological Constant,? (?My greatest blunder!? See below), which is declared to be ?the opposite of gravity? and which has no scientific explanation whatsoever, but is falsely proffered as ?the reason? the capitalist dictatorship and its media (and textbook) propagandists now falsely state that the expansion of the Universe has unexplainably ?speeded up,? a ?finding? which violates all previous findings not to mention all known rules of physics including the General Theory of Relativity! In other words this finding is totally invented, totally fabricated, a Big Lie to end all Big Lies! All designed to achieve the political-religious-propagandistic objective of a single ?genesis.? See below. Legitimate opposing viewpoints are simply ignored and in practice not permitted to be heard! How jolly!

Regarding the most recent results given above for the Hubble Constant, this writer would still prefer to accept Sandage?s previous calculation of 55 +or-5, which has been repeatedly established in papers from 1975, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1995, although it may certainly be possible that the 62.3 +or-1.3 value is the most accurate and it is certainly can be argued that 55 +or-5 is not that far removed from the new figure. The reason for this caution is that Allan Sandage was 82 years old at publication and although he was 100% intellectually intact and in control of all of his faculties his name is listed second in the above paper indicating that he himself may not have collected the data used in the calculation giving 62.3 +or-1.3 for the Hubble Constant. This writer has not spoken or corresponded with the other members of his team, as this writer has, with Allan Sandage. Sandages?s team also often includes A. Saha who was not included in the above paper, so this writer can not rule out alteration of the raw data to give a falsely high Hubble Constant by certain personnel who might be bribed by the NASA forces in charge of the Key Project, which was set up determined to achieve a certain result come hell or high water. This issue is important enough to the capitalist dictatorship so that they would leave no stone unturned to tweak the results in their direction for reasons explained further below. In addition, we are reminded that the Redshift of some quasars actually puts the age of the Universe at 28 billion years! See above. Because of this fact and previous calculations of the age of the oldest stars which are in a similar range, it can not be ruled out that the computer program used for collecting light data from stars from modern telescopes in the ?Key Project? may have been written in such a way as to deliberately give false values in order to increase the Hubble Constant and thereby reduce the age of the Universe as calculated by the ?standard candles? method.

The U.S. so-called ?intelligence community? organized the so-called ?Key Project? in order to cover up the cyclic nature of the Universe from Big Bang to Big Crunch. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was built primarily for the ?Key Project.? This is an important point. The capitalist dictatorship chose Wendy Freedman to lead the project rather than the obvious choice, Allan Sandage, the legendary, most preeminent and world-renowned astrophysicist as well as the number one authority on the Hubble Constant along with his internationally renowned group of astrophysicist colleagues. See above. The reason was that Sandage?s studies up to that point had shown the Universe to be ?between 14 and 18 billion years old, depending on what is assumed about the mass of the Universe.? This corresponds to a Hubble Constant, which he and colleagues had repeatedly calculated to be 55 +or-5 as cited above. An older age and smaller Hubble Constant, of course, would mean that the Universe contained easily enough matter to permit the Big Crunch, which is the key point the capitalist propagandists want to discredit because that would rule out a single creation and make the existence of a god, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever, even more unlikely! This is the actual statecraft behind the ?Key Project.? (See further below.)

Freedman?s initial claim that the Universe was only 8 billion years old was obviously fraudulent, as have been all of her subsequent ?estimations.? All of Freedman?s estimations of the age of the Universe and the Hubble Constant have been designed to try to fraudulently invalidate (!) the Big Bang, the Big Crunch especially and the cyclic nature of the Universe in particular. The preposterous claim of an 8 billion year age is a direct attack on the Big Bang, which has been verified worldwide. In her initial unrestrained enthusiasm to falsify and misinterpret her own data (see above) Freedman forgot about the 1.) Red shift discovered by Edwin Hubble (see below) and 2.) the detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the residual effect of the Big Bang both of which exist as irrefutable evidence for the Big Bang origin of the Universe! In January 2003 Freedman was made the Director of the Carnegie Observatories located in Pasadena, California where Allan Sandage works thereby placing her above him as a maneuver to make her fraudulent estimates of the Hubble Constant appear more authoritative in the public eye!

Note that even AFTER the 1965 discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation by Penzias and Wilson and its confirmation by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite in 1989 that its measurement produced a curve precisely matching a Planck curve, which most scientists have accepted as proof that the radiation is indeed from the beginning of the universe, the capitalist dictatorship has still made efforts to continue to try to deny the existence of the Big Bang, even publishing books with 466 pages (!) attacking the Big Bang such as the 1991 rubbish: ?The Big Bang Never Happened? (!) by the totally discredited Eric Lerner. Anyone using simple inductive reasoning would immediately begin to smell a rat! Since the capitalist dictatorship and its media have not been able to refute the Big Bang they have now focused all their efforts in trying to refute the Big Crunch. The capitalist dictatorship has a long history of political meddling and sabotage in virtually all fields of scientific and medical research and a history of using scientific advances against the masses in order to control them and also to reduce the population according to their own perceived needs, e.g. from Bio-warfare to Bio-fuels (through enforced starvation, falsely portrayed as seeking ?energy independence? and ?clean energy.?).

NASA Propagandists Have Now Concocted the Fraudulent ?theory of the
Big Rip? In Order to Try to Counter the Reality of the Big Crunch and
The Information which Appears Here now Found All Over the Internet!

NASA in a new propaganda blitz using their standard Big Lie technique in order to try to refute the information, which appears here and all over the Internet, has pushed back hard with the totally discredited claims on the National Geographic Channel beginning in March 2009 that 1.) ?dark matter? forms a supposed ?filamentous superstructure? of the universe from the very beginning of the Big Bang until the present 2.) the fictitious ?dark energy? will supposedly eventually ?become so strong? that it will overcome all 4 primary forces including the strong force, which holds quarks and gluons together to form protons, neutrons and other particles, so that that the entire Universe will then supposedly ?fly apart ripping apart galaxies, stars, planets and eventually every speck of matter in a fantastical end to time? in what the fraudulent propagandist Robert Caldwell describes as ?the Big Rip.? This is also known as the theory of the flat universe. There is no ?filamentous superstructure of the universe held together by dark matter.? And phantasmagorical images of galactic superclusters do NOT prove the existence of a ?filamentous superstructure? and are simply a photographic effect due to the enormous luminosity of such dense accumulations of stars. As mentioned above the great wall of galaxies is not due to a ?dark matter superstructure? but is simply due to the irregularities in the Big Bang explosion, which was not uniform as in any explosion. Such brainwash already appears in the astrophysics textbooks of the capitalist dictatorship! We recommend that it be exposed as a Big Lie whenever and wherever it is encountered.

The capitalist cosmologists/propagandists have demonstrated that they can not coherently reply to any of the arguments advanced in this Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics except through contrived, feigned ignorance, information overload and MORE totally outrageous, bizarre Big Lies, which require a religious-like faith (in the case of dark energy and dark matter, for example ) to actually believe them?their overall objective in the first place as explained here. So do not be intimidated by the doctoral degrees which they award themselves or the exalted positions held by these above-mentioned frauds in order to try to legitimize their lies and to try to control and monopolize this field as they try to do with all others. These false propagandists/ ?cosmologists? keep up a truly relentless barrage of lies in the major media and even physics journals and on TV with a never ending stream of phantasmagoric images blending and cascading one into another to try to help prove their scripted Big Lies, for example, the existence of ?dark matter,? which they laughably claim is so dominant that it forms the ?superstructure of the universe? but which they supposedly have only been able to detect as ?two tiny pulses of heat deposited over the course of two years...? New York Times, December 18, 2009, a frankly pathetic false ?finding? which the article admits is ?no proof? but ?tantalizing? (?) an adjective carefully chosen to try to make it appear as if everyone were are all rooting to try to prove their Big Lie. The reality is that there is no ?dark matter.? Claims on the National Geographic Discovery Channel and elsewhere in April-May 2010 that ?gravitational lensing and cosmological expansion rates? have ?confirmed? its existence are totally fabricated! Gravity, not dark matter, is responsible for ALL gravitational lensing and that is where it gets its name. And there is NO ?large halo of unseen matter (an oxymoron!) extending beyond the visible stars.? But according to Michio Kaku & Co., ?Dark matter is in a struggle with dark energy and dark energy wins in the end in the Big Rip!? Not a WORD about gravity! And according to Michio Kaku and the NASA propagandists, eventually stars will all simply ?blink out and the universe will be dark?again!? The age of stars will be over!? Kaku just makes it up in a jumble as he goes along. Anything for his cause! But what is his cause? See below.

It can also be predicted that the capitalist dictatorship will take over the science, if they have not already done so, of the new Large Hadron Collider, the world?s largest and highest energy particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland, when it finally goes on line in order to try to continue to concoct the existence of ?dark matter? and ?dark energy? as well as the ?Higgs Boson,? the so-called ?god particle,? which is reputed to be ?the particle which may impart mass to all other particles after the Big Bang.? The Higgs Boson is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model in particle physics. At present there are NO known elementary scalar particles in nature. There are numerous Higgsless models, which do not depend on the Higgs Boson or Higgs Field. The top contender presently is the Three-Site Higgsless model. Whether or not the Higgs Boson exists or does not exist, its importance has been completely overstated in any case, in order that in the event of its discovery the media may falsely claim to have ?proved? the existence of ?god!? In any case, the Higgs Boson has absolutely nothing to do with ?god? and no reputable physicist has ever made such a claim. The capitalist dictatorship is desperate and reeeediculous! So do not be intimidated by their Big Lies.

Through brazen false arguments and bizarre false analogies these phony ?cosmologists? who control the airways and media, have even attempted to up the ante and generate maximum confusion by trying to brainwash people into believing that the laws of physics and theoretical astrophysics, such as the Laws of Quantum Mechanics, the Special Theory of Relativity and General Theory of Relativity, etc. are ?not immutable? and are in a process of ?constant evolution? supposedly like species of animals in Charles Darwin?s ?The Evolution of Species.? The laws of physical science are thus directly compared to the evolution of species of animals! Einstein therefore supposedly only has ?temporary relevance? giving virtually every kind of science fiction a basis in ?reality.? (See: ?Beyond Einstein,? Discover Magazine, April 2010). Einstein is also falsely quoted as believing in god: ?learning to read the laws of physics is like reading the mind of god.? See comprehensive section on Einstein below.

The author of the Discover Magazine article moreover disingenuously announces: ?physicists should not spin any theories that require the existence of things such as multiverses, that cannot be disproved.? This carefully contrived statement implies that because ?multiverses,? etc. supposedly cannot be disproved these fraudsters do not have to actually PROVE any piece of science fiction currently being passed off as ?science.? They imply that is the duty of genuine theoretical physicists to disprove every false theory used to bombard the public domain by the misnamed, so-called ?intelligence community? led by heavily hyped characters such as Michio Kaku or Stephen Hawking. The Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics disproves their primary concoctions and it is a rule of the Court that a witness caught in one lie in testimony does not merit any further credibility by the Jury. This is especially true in science where it is clear that, above all else, Kaku, & Co., are straining at the leash to inject confusion into basic physics and are forced to tell many lies in order to try to achieve their objectives. Their motives to create confusion are explained above. The title of the Discover Magazine article was incidentally borrowed from the very title of a 1987 book by ?intelligence community? fraudster, Michio Kaku, wherein Kaku tried to popularize so-called ?String Theory,? concocted in the effort to try to supplant Quantum Mechanics. See below. It should be noted that Kaku, who hides his specious, bogus so-called ?Beyond Einstein science,? behind a phony slick and unctuously triumphal presentation, is equally at home passing off science fiction e.g. ?parallel universes, time warps, time travel and the tenth dimension? as science as he is relentlessly fabricating false theories designed to compete with and supplant the natural laws of physics and to confuse as many people as possible behind a mantle of genuinely false knowledge. Based on only ONE non-cyclic Big Bang, Michio Kaku?s ?String Theory? is thus a back door to Creationism! Michio Kaku now openly describes himself as a neo-creationist! See below.

There is no such thing as ?Dark Energy?. And there was no ?inflationary epoch? in the Big Bang, which supposedly ?caused the Universe to expand faster than the speed of light.? It did not! The so-called ?Theory of Inflation? which attempts to supplant entirely the standard model of the Big Bang with ?dark energy? AKA ?vacuum energy? is also a total fraud! (See below) Nor has the Universe suddenly increased its rate of expansion as falsely claimed by these frauds as supposed ?proof of its existence.? Just the opposite! The rate of expansion of the Universe has continued to slow since the Big Bang! All previous observations have indicated that is the case! While the Red Shifts of the most distant galaxies do indicate they are receding much more rapidly than closer galaxies this is because their light originated closer to the time of the Big Bang when the expansion rate was greater, but that is not the situation today. It should therefore be noted that although we may be able to receive light from galaxies which started its journey near the beginning of star formation and galactic formation, that light does not portray the reality at this point in time of the galaxy which was the source of that light. The reality is that today most of the Universe is undoubtedly relatively uniform in its development today except where, for example, there are huge clouds of gas from super novae explosions or where there are huge accumulations of matter such as the Great Wall of galaxies, the latter of which formed due to the irregularities which occurred in the Big Bang just as in any other explosion. In other words the light from our own galaxy, the Milky Way, would appear to an observer from the most distant galaxies to be receding at the same rate that their light is receding from our own galaxy! This should be a no-brainer but is rarely if ever mentioned. The only viewpoint which is ever mentioned is from the Earth as if it were the center of creation. Which it is not!

The Universe is not open! Just like the Earth itself the spatial curvature of the Universe is NOT FLAT! It is CLOSED! In reality there are no ?multiple universes,? which ?pop out of Black Holes? or by any other explanation. A Universe arises ONLY from a Big Bang! Although mass is infinite in a Black Hole (see above), Critical Mass does not exist! Critical Mass is attained only in the Final Singularity, when all matter in the Universe comes together in one spot in the Big Crunch prior to the Big Bang. The point when Critical Mass is reached is the point when a Big Bang occurs! See above. This is why the Large Hadron Collider cannot reproduce either the Big Bang or even a Black Hole. The reason for this is that even a Black Hole can form only when a Blue Giant star of sufficient mass collapses. This can not occur in the Large Hadron Collidor no matter how high the energies attained or how ?large? the collidor itself may be claimed to be!!

Stephen Hawking?s claimed existence of ?exploding miniature Black Holes,? which ?permit particles to leak out in a quantum process? (!), eventually causing Black Holes to ?EVAPORATE? (!), due to the pretentiously designated, so-called: ?Hawking Evaporation,? or to ?finally explode entirely? is based on fraudulent ?String Theory? related mathematics and is baseless nonsense. Note that so-called ?Hawking radiation? has NEVER BEEN OBSERVED and is ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS! Hawking?s wild claims were based on the fact that on a visit to the USSR in 1974 the Soviet physicist Alexander Starobinsky told Hawking that according to Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle, rotating black holes should create and emit particles. (!) Oh? But the truth is that in a Black Hole or ?Singularity? the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and ALL LAWS OF PHYSICS DO NOT APPLY and DO NOT EVEN EXIST! Starobinsky WOULD have known that fundamental fact and it cannot be ruled out that in the middle of the Cold War he may have recognized that Hawking was such a nut-job ego tripper that he would fall for virtually anything in order to make a big splash for himself in physics. And the question immediately arises, if Starobinsky really thought he had made such a profound discovery why didn?t he come out with it himself? In any case there is no radiation whatsoever of any type emitted from any Black Hole itself! Nevertheless, such absurd and ridiculous claims are given credence in the media and given a heavy push on the phony ?science? magazines and TV shows mentioned above and on websites which permit NO COMMENT!

It was also announced on the highly discredited ?Naked Science? National Geographic (Discovery) Channel with NO PROOF WHATSOEVER and with no legitimate counter-arguments ever permitted, the totally bizarre claim that Michio Kaku?s ?String Theory? is ?the best explanation of the origin of the Universe,? which it most certainly is NOT! On that program Hawking and ?String Theorists? absurdly stated: ?the Big Bang occurred when gravity weakened? (!) because ?after the Big Bang gravity (supposedly) entered the 7 to 9 extra dimensions (in ?String Theory?) and was weakened.? Duh! Such rubbish! (!) Finally, after presenting one concoction after another for almost an hour falsely dressed up as ?science,? the April 20, 2010 ?Naked Science? program (which is to be repeated!), apparently in a pathetic attempt to try to save face and keep some semblance of credibility among the growing majority of those who see through their lies, concluded with the unexpected disclaimer: ?There is only one catch! There is no proof for any of this!? Right! But since then there have been no more disclaimers of these relentlessly pushed Big Lies! Parenthesis added.

There is also no ?time travel? in a practical sense either despite the phenomena of time dilation described in Einstein?s Special Theory and gravitational time dilation described in Einstein?s General Theory, which was actually confirmed in the Pound-Rebka experiment. And there are no ?wormholes.? These fraudsters intone Einstein?s name by falsely claiming that there are ?two valid solutions? to the General Theory of Relativity which contain ?wormholes.? This is a Big Lie! Neither ?solution? cited is actually valid! The first type falsely postulated, the ?Schwarzchild wormhole,? which they also falsely designate with the label ?Einstein-Rosen bridges? (!?), depends on a Black Hole, ?which has no charge and no angular momentum!? But ALL Black Holes rotate and thus have angular momentum! (See above.) The second type, the so-called ?traversable wormholes,? would require the existence of ?exotic (non-baryonic) matter,? which does NOT exist and which itself would violate energy conditions specified in the General Theory and would require changing space-time topology and would require regions of negative energy, which also do not actually exist in the known Universe. At best this is all mathematical imaginings of those who want to be ?the next Einstein.? Einstein himself realized that his later mathematical attempts to formulate a Grand Unified Theory were simply incorrect and were not leading in the right direction. In addition, there are no ?strings.? ?String Theory? is a mathematical attempt to try to refute, compete with and supplant, NOT EXPLAIN, the Theory of Quantum Mechanics, the foundations of particle physics which were established during the first half of the twentieth century by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Albert Einstein, etc.! See below for the most likely ready solution to the Grand Unified Theory.

On July 22, 2010 on the so-called ?History Channel? Michio Kaku brazenly also falsified the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle! That principle states simply that pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot simultaneously be known to arbitrary precision. The more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured. In other words, the more you know the position of a particle, the less you can know about its velocity, and the more you know about the velocity of a particle, the less you can know about its instantaneous position. In his false presentation of ?parallel universes,? which also involved countless other falsifications of basic physics, Kaku stated that Heisenberg stated that one particle can be in two positions simultaneously! Heisenberg never ever even suggested that!

Recent Findings Document that the Mass of the Universe
Increases as Matter Enters a Black Hole and the Final Singularity!
This Finding Totally Refutes Infinite Expansion of the Universe
And ?String Theory!? The Fact That Neutrinos Have Mass Also
Provides Further Basis For the Big Crunch!?

The false claim that there is supposedly insufficient matter in the Universe to permit the Big Crunch to take place is entirely refuted by 2 discoveries. Perhaps even more significant than the work on neutrinos discussed below is the paper published on November 21, 2008 in Science. More than 99% of the visible mass of the Universe is made up of protons and neutrons. Recent calculations of the mass of the nucleus found that matter, which is composed of protons and neutrons, which are in turn are composed of quarks held together with gluons by the strong force, normally exists as 95% energy, according to the formula from Einstein?s Special Theory of Relativity: E=mc2! This provides further confirmation for the Big Crunch! Why? The reason, not drawn as a conclusion by the authors of the paper, is that in a Black Hole and moreover in the final Black Hole, the ?Singularity,? that relationship would be 100% reversed, with all matter existing in the form of mass: m=E/c2. The mass of the Universe would therefore increase according to these findings as matter enters a Black Hole as energy shifts to its mass equivalent! (Science, November 21, 2008, Vol. 322, 5905:1198-1199 and 1124-1127. Obviously this is the precise opposite of what occurs in a nuclear explosion where matter is converted entirely to energy according to the equation E=mc2. On the other hand such tidbit reports as ?Excess Particles From Space may Hint at Dark Matter,? (Science, Vol. 322, 5905:1173) are only red herrings meant to titillate, to keep attention diverted away from focusing on key findings of genuine significance. There is no such thing as ?dark matter.? In another important point, the Second Law of Thermodynamics does NOT prevent the Big Crunch because 1.) the energy of the Universe is entirely converted to mass in Black Holes and the Final Singularity in accordance with Einstein?s equation solved for mass: m=E/c2 and 2.) ALL laws of physics break down and do not apply in a Black Hole! There is no exception for the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

The discovery that neutrinos have mass also provides a further basis for the Big Crunch. This fact was first reported on July 1, 1998 by a collaboration of 120 U.S. and Japanese physicists at the Neutrino 98 meeting in Takayama, Japan and submitted to Physical Review Letters. (By Super-Kamiokande Collaboration (Y. Fukuda et al.) Phys.Rev.Lett.81:1562-1567,1998.) Neutrinos have sufficient weight to allow the Big Crunch! The experiment measured the differences in mass of the three types of neutrinos to be 0.1 eV or greater. The group reported that the simplest interpretation of the solar and atmospheric results is that the heaviest neutrino has a mass of 0.1 eV. However, they reported that since oscillations between the 3 types of neutrinos depend only on the differences in mass it is possible that the masses of all three neutrinos are fully 1 eV or greater, but that it is the mass differences which are much smaller. (They allow for the ?possibility.? How nice! They know that the majority of physicists do not simply automatically accept the interpretation which is first proffered.)

This makes the most sense and is of course suppressed for political reasons. (See below.) If the mass of the neutrino is 1 eV that would mean that neutrinos account for more mass in the Universe than all of the protons and neutrons put together easily supplying the supposed ?missing matter? necessary for the Big Crunch. As mentioned the critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity. In addition, the fact that neutrinos have mass also provides the basis for the Grand Unified Theory which links the gravitational force described in the General Theory of Relativity with the strong and the weak forces and electromagnetism described in the Theory of Quantum Mechanics. Einstein struggled and failed to formulate this theory, but it has already been shown that at high enough energies electromagnetism and the weak force are the same force known as the electroweak force. It is theorized that if energies are increased even further and neutrinos acquire mass, which has now been fully documented, all the known forces will reduce to the same force thus providing the basis for the Grand Unified Theory. This high energy level existed only during the very early expansion of the Universe known as the Planck Epoch, which existed up to 10 to the negative 43rd seconds after the Big Bang, where the four fundamental forces ? electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and gravitation ? all had the same strength. After that point the energy level decreased and gravity separated from the other 3 fundamental forces and with the condensation of matter into the elementary particles (quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons) formed the so-called Standard Model of today?s Universe. These facts, while available, are de-emphasized by the capitalist dictatorship propaganda machine with the false claim that ?no one?not even Einstein?has been able formulate the Grand Unified Theory,? in order to try to open the door to fraudulent ?string theory.? The 1998 report that neutrinos have mass was blipped in the media and then neutrino research was de-funded worldwide and thereafter suppressed for a period of time. Wonder why?? It is time to employ some inductive reasoning, which is in fact scientific reasoning. (Note: in order to understand the relationship of the 4 primary forces which exist in the universe: the typical field strength of the strong nuclear force is 100 times the strength of the electromagnetic force, approximately 10 x13 times as great as that of the weak nuclear force, and about 10 x38 times that of gravitation.)

The Big Crunch will arrive on schedule and another Universe will begin! Einstein once said that a theory of the Universe should be both simple and elegant. Hawking sounds like a total jerk when he states that the Big Crunch is ?too neat? and he prefers the ?Big Rip.? Whaaa? See below. Einstein would definitely be rolling over in his grave if he were made aware of today?s totally contrived ?science? especially the attempt by these fakers to re-introduce his fudge factor, the so-called ?cosmological constant,? which Einstein invented/fabricated to allow for a static solution to his equations and a static Universe, which he was later forced to admit was false after the discovery of the Redshift by Edwin Hubble, which occurs when light or any type of electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies shifts toward longer wavelengths, the less energetic part of the spectrum, due to the Doppler effect. The Red Shift indicates that those distant galaxies are moving away from our galaxy, the Milky Way (and vice versa) and that the Universe was expanding more rapidly at that time than presently when some galaxies are now actually moving toward us. The Universe is also simultaneously contracting on another level as explained above. The Redshift in light from receding galaxies is proportional to their distance from Earth. That is Hubble?s Law.

The false assumption of a static Universe had prevented Einstein from predicting that the Universe was expanding. Einstein admitted that the ?cosmological constant? was his ?biggest blunder.? In December 1930 Einstein went to Cal Tech on a visiting professorship where he worked with Edwin Hubble and reportedly also apologized for his error. In 1998 the U.S. so-called ?intelligence community,? directed their fleet of fake ?cosmologists? and some opportunist and duped astrophysicists to try to pass off Einstein?s fraudulent cosmological constant as the entirely fictitious and admittedly totally unexplained so-called ?dark energy,? (!) AKA ?quintessence, ? which is supposedly responsible for a claimed ?speeding up of the rate of expansion of the Universe,? which is NOT in fact actually occurring, and is now even proffered as a supposed reason for the Bermuda Triangle! This rubbish, as mentioned, has even been forced into advanced textbooks in astrophysics as supposed good coin. The reason for these wholesale falsifications of astrophysics is due to the capitalists? desperation to establish a false basis to claim that the Universe supposedly had a single creation and that it will expand infinitely rather than collapse once again in the Big Crunch completing another cycle in an infinite number. The U.S. governments? fictitious position is deliberately designed to try to allow for the existence of a ?god? as ?the creator.?

The reason that the capitalists have formed an alliance with religion is that the capitalists depend on religion, belief in god and the supernatural as important weapons of deception directed against the masses! This also helps explain the appearance of fraudulent so-called ?string theory? which falsely postulates multiple Universes, eleven dimensions, rather than the 4 dimensions which actually do measurably exist. Stephen Hawking, the ego-tripping, media-hyped ?cosmologist? is once again postulating supposed ?wormholes from one Universe to another? as well as supposed ?wormholes? from one end of our Universe to the other to permit time travel ?faster than the speed of light? (both of which are completely refuted by the Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle not to mention Einstein?s Special Theory of Relativity!). While Hawking temporarily retreated on the issue of time travel on being so reminded before recently re-embracing what he fully knows to be total nonsense, Heisenberg and other obstacles and impossible paradoxes preventing time travel are also brazenly ignored by others who are professional police-agent propagandists fully committed to such Big Lies of confusion such as the New York Times? despicable Dennis Overbye and Nicholas Wade (Oy!), Brian Greene and the WBAI/CUNY huckster and self-described neo-creationist Michio Kaku, who claims to be an expert on everything, allowing him to cover up inter alia the documented fact that AIDS is Biowarfare by the U.S. Government Against Blacks and Gays primarily. Assuming the mantle of false authority, Kaku also tries to confuse his trusting, credulous, duped and even fawning listeners (including CCNY students!) on innumerable other issues. Kaku appears regularly on the BBC, Network TV ?News? and elsewhere to push the new ?scientific? fiction while steering false propaganda on astronomical events or physics research, the latter of which is largely controlled by the falsely labeled U.S. ?intelligence community.? Note: so-called ?Kerr spacetime? is just another string theory mathematical concoction.

Note that on June 10, 2010 on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer Stephen Hawking also openly defined himself as a new style neo-creationist similar to Obama?s new head of NIH Francis Collins, and Michio Kaku (see below), providing false, specious Templeton foundation (see below) reasoning in order to make it appear possible to reconcile ?god? and science, when he stated: "What could define God is thinking of God as the embodiment of the laws of nature.? (Demonstrating the reach and determination of the misnamed ?intelligence community,? to brainwash the masses, Hawking?s false message has even been plastered in NYC Subway cars in the form of ?a personal choice!?) Although Hawking tried to cover himself: "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works,? all of Hawking?s fraudulent ?science? and adherence to ?String Theory? lead right back to the existence of ?god? as explained herein. But there is NO proof of the existence of ?god? and WHO MADE ?GOD?? Man!

In Yet Another Attempt to Try to Generate Confusion and Discredit
The Theory of the Big Bang/Big Crunch Infinite Cycle of the Universe
The Capitalist Dictatorship has Invented a Patently and Preposterously
Fraudulent Counter ?Theory? designated ?Conformal Cyclic Cosmology!??

This Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics, which among other things, comprehensively explains and documents the Big Bang/Big Crunch Infinite Cycle of the Universe was first published in 2008 and is updated on occasion in response to the unrelenting Big Lies used to cover up and distort astrophysical reality. That same year and indubitably in response to this very document which exposes the so-called ?inflationary model of the Universe? as a deliberately contrived fraud, the capitalist dictatorship?s misnamed so-called ?intelligence community? apparently decided to add another layer of lies in their attempt to trivialize and discredit the Theory of the Big Crunch/Big Bang Cycle of the Universe, while simultaneously tweaking its own ?standard inflationary model of the Universe,? which it has meanly foisted on the scientific community and an unsuspecting world. The author of this new phony ?theory? pretentiously designated as so-called ?Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC!),? Robert Penrose, a knighted confidante of the British capitalist class and crony of the totally discredited hoodwinker Steven Hawking (see above), has concocted a laughably-fraudulent paper and a concurrently published criminally dishonest book. The paper appeared in December 2010 with the heralded finding of ?families of concentric circles? with ?anomalously low temperature variance,? within the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR), which Penrose claims represent ?Black Hole ENCOUNTERS (!), within bound galactic clusters in the previous AEON.? (Emphasis added.) Give us a break!

Already three groups of investigators have found that ?the detection of the concentric anomalies was NOT statistically significant, in the sense that such circles would appear in a proper Gaussian simulation of the anisotropy of the CMB data.? Penrose and his collaborator V.G. Gurzadyan confronted with this reality were forced to admit that while the presence of individual circles in the CMB data was not statistically significant, they claimed to have found families of concentric circles, the presence of which cannot be found in the Gaussian simulation of the data. (!) Total Nonsense! See: Wekus IK; Eriksen HK (2010-12-07), arXiv:1012.1268v1, Moss A; Scott D; Zibin JP (2010), arXiv:1012.1305, Hajian A (2010-12-8), arXiv:1012.1656 and GurzadyanVG; Penrose R (2010-12-07), arXiv:1012.1486. (The Penrose book: ?Cycles of Time,? Bodley Head Publishers 2010.) So just what is the primary objective, the actual motive for this false propaganda assault? The objective is to try to generate confusion and cause the much more widely known and understood Theory of the Big Crunch/Big Bang Cycle of the Universe to be supplanted in questioning minds, to the degree that that is possible, by the Penrose mathematical concoction: ?Conformal Cyclic Cosmology,? and to make the acceptance of the cyclic nature of the Universe, which it contains and which is the target, dependent on the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the veracity of his claim of finding ?families of concentric circles? in the CMBR. (!) When that deliberately false and preposterous claim is proved false on a less than fundamental and comprehensive basis, or is ?disputed? on technical points (see above), then Penrose?s entire theory and its central thesis?that the Universe has a cyclic nature?and also the Big Bang/Big Crunch theory, its central target?is supposed to collapse like a straw man, in yet another example of this disinformation technique. (!) The ?theory of conformal cyclic cosmology? described in the Penrose book is based largely on the Second Law of Thermodynamics (increasing entropy), which he deliberately fails to mention breaks down completely, just like all other physical laws, in Black Holes and the Final Singularity where all entropy is reversed. Penrose?s genuinely bizarre theory holds that prior to the Big Bang, Black Holes do not collide and combine all of the matter in the Universe, they merely ?encounter? one another right along with their ?bound galactic clusters? and ?eventually evaporate.? (!) Penrose provides no evidence for this baseless claim. The truth is that by the time of the Big Crunch, A TERM WHICH IS DUTIFULLY NEVER MENTIONED, Supermassive Black Holes now at the center of elliptical galaxies would have accumulated ALL matter of their respective galaxies, a process which is currently ongoing! Galaxies themselves would have ceased to exist as such and would be replaced by super large Supermassive Black Holes. These would come together through the force of gravity, based on their proximity, finally in one spot (NOT a single point!) in the Big Crunch, which would result in another Big Bang at the point when critical mass is reached. See above. Nothing except matter itself from the previous Universe survives the Big Crunch/Big Bang cycle! Thus there could be no evidence of ?Black Hole encounters from a previous (Universe)? in any way shape or form. But for Penrose the boundary between one Universe and another is ?just a spacelike surface that can be passed across like any other.?

Despite Stephen Hawking?s False Claims
Time Travel is NOT Possible!

Normally the topic of time travel would not be covered to this extent, but this issue must be considered at greater length because Stephen Hawking is a high profile celebrity balloon being foisted on an unsuspecting public and provided a TV and media stage to promote his total nonsense by the U.S. ?intelligence community.? The media is using genuinely hypnotic, phantasmagorical, digitally enhanced false presentations by Hawking and others on the National Geographic TV Channel and other channels in order to distract from the central facts of theoretical astrophysics as presented herein and in order to try to keep the masses confused from every conceivable angle. Because of what amounts to a provocation, namely the recent onslaught of Big Lie ?science? bombarding the TV airways, it behooves this writer to further refute the lies being hawked by Stephen Hawking and his NASA cronies. Hawking falsely claims: ?there are wormholes everywhere in the 3 dimensional world and they exist also in the fourth dimension, where they exist at one billion trillionth trillionth of a centimeter! Trust me!? Right! Hawking tells us that ?wormholes form in the so-called ?quantum foam,?? where supposedly he can avoid violating Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle and other laws and paradoxes which do not permit backwards time travel. See above. But Hawking cannot avoid the uncertainty principle and the paradoxes which prevent backwards ?time travel? either by ?wormholes? or by any other means! And he knows it! ?Quantum foam? is supposedly a description of subatomic spacetime turbulence at extremely small distances of the order of the Planck length. At such small scales of time and space the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle supposedly allows particles and energy to briefly come into existence, and then annihilate, without violating the law of conservation of mass and energy! But then Hawking bizarrely claims: ?scientists will eventually capture and ENLARGE a worm hole a trillion times to be large enough for a space ship?to travel at 99% the speed of light?after 6 years in flight,? supposedly to get up speed. (See below.) A totally bizarre and ridiculous assertion in itself!

At the enlarged size we must assume then that the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and all Laws of Physics and the paradoxes WILL once again apply and prevent backwards time travel. Presto, no backward time travel for Stephen Hawking! Hawking is finally forced to concede that going backwards in time is not possible because cause and effect would be reversed, which is not possible. In addition to this most obvious paradox of causality, two other irresolvable problems in backward time travel exist: 1.) Traveling backwards in time would also violate the law that the mass-energy of the Universe must remain constant, within the limits of the uncertainty principle. For example, a person traveling backwards in time would increase the mass of the universe at that point, which is not possible. 2.) Traveling backward in time would also cause a decrease in the Universe?s entropy, which always increases at a nonnegative rate. Forward time travel on the other hand generates no other paradoxes and is described by Special and General Relativity but is not practical in reality.

Forward time travel in a practical sense is also not really possible. Hawking, however, insists it is supposedly possible if in order to reach a speed close enough to the speed of light in order to achieve the objective, a rocket ship course is set for just a little off center of the Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy (!?), or a course is set to travel around the Earth for 6 years finishing at 99% the speed of light (somehow), which would supposedly allow travel 100 years into the future. As noted previously, mass becomes infinite at the speed of light and even well before the half-way point is reached the increased MASS of Hawking?s spaceship would indubitably prevent its further acceleration even if primitive rocketry were replaced by a UFO-type engine. Hawking describes his ?spaceship? as ?HUGE, because of all the FUEL it would have to carry,? (Think oil companies drilling into the future!) and is actually pictured as the typical cumbersome, multiple-defense-contract, primitive rocket powered NASA-inspired aerodynamically-ridiculous, Star Trek-type science fiction movie vehicle! Never even a mention of a nuclear powered flying saucer with the electromagnetic anti-gravity engine, which would be required for any interstellar voyages! All things considered it is time to wise up! Stephen Hawking is NOT a genius in any sense of the word. His false propaganda musings also demonstrate that his general knowledge and even his scientific knowledge outside of mathematics is actually very, very limited! We are left to fawn over such nonsense.

A Further Note on Michio Kaku:

It is a rule of statecraft that a government control and operate its own ?opposition.? In the United States, the center of world capitalism-imperialism, the capitalist dictatorship controls the leadership of all supposed ?left,? ?socialist? or ?Communist? political groups and parties. In addition, the capitalists also control the leaderships of all conspiracy groups and single-issue groups where the solutions are always based on the number one Big Lie of capitalism, i.e. that capitalism can be reformed, which it cannot. Single-issue groups represent divide (and conquer) of various political issues/problems most of which are created or perpetuated by capitalism, none of which are properly connected and linked to the need for a Socialist Revolution in the United States. Kaku began his political career by being placed at the front of the single-issue Anti-Nuclear Movement. Kaku began his work in the ?intelligence community? in the early 1960?s just out of high school as a mathematical whiz kid, by becoming a prot￩g￩ of Edward Teller, the ?father of the Hydrogen Bomb? and the Neutron Bomb, the latter which is designed to kill people primarily while leaving property (private property!) intact, the ultimate capitalist weapon.

A person or group is defined politically by what the person or group says and what it does not say and by what the person or group does and does not do. Unlike Stephen Hawking, Kaku?s words and actions, in addition to his history, clearly identify him as a political police agent provocateur. (See below.) Kaku worked with Teller at the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, which is directly connected to both the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Kaku undoubtedly had top-secret clearance from Edward Teller and moved freely between all three and has stated that at the time he was involved with developing the next stage of nuclear weapons research with Teller. Kaku claims that in the early 1980?s he gave up a career in nuclear weapons design and was ?attracted to the peace movement and anti-nuclear movement? supposedly ?because of Pacifica radio programs? he heard in the 1960?s. Oy! Right! I don?t believe you!

The truth is that the U.S. ?intelligence community? needed a young loyal, glib, supposedly ?anti-nuclear? authority figure as a counter-insurgent (political police agent) to help keep the Anti-Nuclear Movement anti-Communist and help lead it to defeat and recruited Kaku, undoubtedly with Teller?s recommendation, immediately putting him in front of the demonstrations at Columbia University against the Triga Reactor on campus in the wake of the Three-Mile Island meltdown, his debut attended by this writer at that first demonstration. (When the U.S. Department of Energy converted the fuel in Triga reactors from uranium zirconium hydride to low-enriched uranium a meltdown became possible at the university setting, which had been virtually impossible previously.) Note also that there is an apparent difference between Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking: Though their positions more or less coincide, Hawking is apparently motivated by personal aggrandizement and his desire to be awarded a Nobel Prize (for what Stephen?for COOPERATING?), while the media, an arm of the ?intelligence community? provides maximum exposure to all of his fantastical, reactionary and genuinely unscientific theories/imaginings, in multiple full-hour TV shows on the ?Discovery Channel,? for example. Michio Kaku also heads up the same full-hour TV shows but his reactionary political role on the other hand more easily identifies him as a highly motivated political police agent, whose background and objectives are explained above. They both play a negative role.

Almost immediately Kaku sold out his supposed anti-nuclear ?credentials? by writing a 1982 book with the title ?Nuclear Power: Both Sides,? (!) which presented arguments against nuclear power followed by false ?arguments? for nuclear power in order to keep the option of nuclear power viable! The book does NOT emphasize the BOTTOM LINE OF NUCLEAR POWER UP FRONT,: namely that nuclear power produces permanently non-disposable nuclear waste which will eventually get back into the environment through ground water, etc! Nuclear waste can NEVER EVER be disposed of! Period! Thus, there can be NO VIABLE HONEST PRO-NUCLEAR POSITION! This is what Kaku soft peddles! On February 4, 2010 Obama, by Bush-style executive decree, ordered that a new nuclear reactors should be built using $54 billion of stimulus money under the Big Lie false claim that nuclear power, which produces the dirtiest, most dangerous and totally non-disposable nuclear waste, was now supposedly ?clean energy.? (!) While the U.S. government-led ?Anti-Nuclear Movement? remained silent! By executive decree Obama also ordered stimulus money to fund (non-existent) ?clean coal? and drilling for oil off the U.S. coastline which has destroyed all marine life and completely polluted the nations beaches as the capitalist dictatorship has already done in the Gulf of Mexico! Demonstrating that the capitalist dictatorship has NO intention whatsoever of trying to reverse Global Warming its response has been to continue and intensify the drilling and mining for all fossil fuels, which is the reason Global Warming has occurred in the first place!

It should also be noted that Kaku was trained in the infantry and was all set to be deployed to Viet Nam just ?when the war ended? in 1975, while his fellow inductees were sitting down on the wharfs in San Francisco and refusing to even get into the troop ships while a MUTINY broke out in Vietnam, which forced the total evacuation of all U.S. forces within days and hours, while our little patriot Kaku was all raring and ready to go and fight those dastardly Communists in Viet Nam. Anti-Communism remains Kaku?s primary political motivation. Kaku hides the fact that a million-strong Communist movement in the United States was the only thing which forced FDR to formulate the New Deal Social Programs, which the capitalist dictatorship under Obama is now trying to abolish in practice. In order to begin to abolish the function of Social Security, i.e. to keep older people alive, one of the first things Obama did was to terminate permanently for all practical purposes the Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) for Social Security on April 22, 2009, while previously forcing banks to accept $4.7 Trillion (!) for ?bank bailouts? in order to divert that money from social programs, which is the same objective of Reagan/Bush /Obama Supply Side Trickle Down, Tax-Cut Economics. Pretending to ?spar with the Republicans over how to revive the ailing economy? is designed to provide Obama ?left? cover while hiding the fact that the only ?solution? discussed, SUPPLY-SIDE ECONOMICS, was designed as a trick to divert money from social spending. See: ?The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed? by David Stockman, Reagan?s Economic Czar. Under the threat of a million-strong Communist Movement in the United States, Keynesian deficit spending of 37% of GDP was used by FDR during the New Deal and WWII created large-scale public jobs programs which in turn stimulated DEMAND, the engine of the economy. That alone lifted the U.S. out of the Great Depression and remains the only capitalist solution to the present Depression. Also needed is a Progressive Tax Structure, which will never happen under capitalism because of its One-Way Development Sequence. Instead the Bush Tax Cuts have been extended and Social Security Taxes suspended in order to get rid of Social Security.

On July 5, 2010 on BBC TV Kaku totally exposed himself as a neo-creationist similar to Francis Collins Obama?s new head of the NIH (see below) and Stephen Hawking! Kaku let his political-religious motives all hang out in a response to a BBC report about the Plank Telescope. Kaku falsely claimed that Plank maps showed ?the speed of light was exceeded in the Big Bang explosion due to dark energy,? which would violate the Special Theory of Relativity and is a total lie (see above), then claimed that the Planck Telescope will be looking for evidence of ?worm holes,? ?multiverses? and ?space time foam? (AKA ?Quantum Foam?) now heavily pushed by the discredited Stephen Hawking, NASA and Kaku in an attempt to supplant quantum mechanics with String and M-Theory. Although he tried to cover himself saying: ?this is all controversial,? Kaku openly identified himself as a neo-creationist: ?We want to find the explanation for the creation, the Genesis, of the Universe.? Hawking?s new claim of ?spontaneous creation? is also a total fraud. The origin of matter is an unknowable! (See below.)

The misnamed, so-called ?intelligence community? of the U.S.-led World Dictatorship of Millionaires and Billionaires is using Michio Kaku, his NASA cronies and apparently Stephen Hawking to try to take over physics and science from the inside and ?the top? and make neo-creationism the default belief taught in physics and science courses in the schools, colleges and universities. In addition to trying to supplant Relativity and Quantum Mechanics the dictatorship is also attempting to supplant the Standard Model of the Theory of the Big Bang with the magically fraudulent, so-called ?Theory of Inflation,? or ?inflationary epoch,? which falsely depends on properties of elementary particles not accounted for in the standard big bang models, plus fictitious ?dark energy.? Supposedly about 10-35 seconds after the Big Bang ?dark energy,? which they interchangeably label ?vacuum energy,? suddenly appeared from nowhere and as a consequence of this ?vacuum energy? gravitation supposedly became ?repulsive for a period of about 10-32 seconds.? (!) During this period the Universe supposedly expanded from a ?single point smaller than an atom? or ?a volume that was only a few centimeters across (!)? (take your pick) increasing its size scale by about a factor of 1050. (!) Totally ridiculous! There was NO sudden ?inflation of the time-space continuum?! The purpose of this attempt to inject ?dark energy sudden expansion? is to promote magical and superstitious religious belief?not science?and to fraudulently reduce the actual age of the Universe in accordance with the objective of the so-called ?Key Project? to try to refute the Big Crunch and Big Bang/Big Crunch Cyclic Nature of the Universe. (See below.)

The Standard Model of the Big Bang is based on detailed estimations of temperature change, energy density and thermal equilibrium, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and relativity. Not violations of Relativity! The Standard Model of the Big Bang describes a sudden explosion/expansion during the first 3 minutes when matter was dominant but where elementary particles inter-converted with radiation according to Einstein?s Special Theory of Relativity: E=mc2. That explosion/expansion continued during a period where radiation dominated, which lasted for 700,000 years, or ?absolute time units,? during which the Universe was opaque. When the temperature fell from 100 million degrees Centigrade to 3,000 degrees Kelvin matter again became dominant and the Universe first became transparent to radiation. Actual star formation probably could not have begun before about 1 billion years. The reality is that the Big Bang could at no time have proceeded faster than the speed of light! See: ?The First Three Minutes? Steven Weinberg 1977, Basic Books, New York. But even Weinberg considers ?Genesis? to be an important issue and moreover displays virtually no knowledge or understanding of Black Holes supposedly and provides a false description of the Big Crunch, an explanation which he strongly discourages, and where Black Holes receive no mention whatever and presumably play no part. (!)

Apparently in reaction to having Michio Kaku & Co. exposed all over the Internet as a falsifier of basic theoretical astrophysics, etc., the misnamed ?intelligence community? has given Kaku a huge media pump and put him front and center on U.S. government network news programs, where Kaku has made the brazen assertion that the Large Hadron Collider will ?prove the existence of string theory and parallel universes?! Then on July 22, 2010, Kaku and his retinue on the ?History Channel,? promising to ?boggle your mind? (!) pulled out all the stops going for broke and coming on like exultant gangbusters, intensified their push of fraudulent ?string theory? and now ?membrane theory? (!) and their denial of Relativity (Special Theory and General Theory) and Heisenberg.

The Truth About Unidentified Flying Objects
UFOs (Flying Saucers) and Extraterrestrial Life:

At the risk of sensationalizing the Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics this writer and many colleagues believe that is important to respond to and put into proper perspective the U.S. Government?s official position on: 1.) UFOs, and 2.) Extraterrestrial life, 3.) The consistently hostile portrayal of both by the media/entertainment industry, which is simply an arm of the U.S. Government?s dishonestly labeled brainwash operation known as the ?intelligence community.? (See above.) This includes the most recent attack on ?aliens? by Stephen Hawking, who is increasingly discredited among scientists but still heavily hyped by the capitalist dictatorship as he becomes more bizarre in his pronouncements, for reasons explained above. First of all, it is important to restate one of the fundamental Rules of Statecraft, namely that a government control and operate its own ?opposition.? Within the capitalist dictatorship this applies not only to political parties and organizations as explained above but also to virtually every important issue and of course includes the hot topic of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. Note that despite an enormous effort to deny it the June 8, 1908 Tunguska explosion in Siberia was a nuclear explosion equal to 30 million tons of TNT and is further proof of the existence of UFOs. In addition, the cylindrical fireball made 2 right-angle turns and exploded at between 2 to 3 miles altitude, and at ground zero left fused particles of magnetite, germanium (used in semiconductors) and silicate globules with traces of copper (possibly from wire), cobalt and nickel, not present in meteorites or comets. Ground zero precisely resembled ground zero at Hiroshima. In addition, the enormous heat of the explosion melted the permafrost in the Taiga and created several small lakes. There was NO loss of life in the explosion apparently because those in the flying saucer knew the area was uninhabited. See the deliberately obscurely entitled ?The Fire Came By? by Baxter and Atkins, Doubleday 1976. At 5:11 PM on December 9, 1997 over the uninhabited southern tip of Greenland another ?fireball,? a nuclear powered UFO, exploded at about the same height as in Tunguska and was ?so bright as to turn night into day at a distance of 60 miles, and can be compared to the light of a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere.? New York Times, December 19, 1997, Page A17.

It is a fact that ever since the film ?The Day The Earth Stood Still? appeared in 1951 starring Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal and Sam Jaffe, where UFOs and alien life are portrayed favorably (see below), all portrayals by the capitalist dictatorship of alien life have been hostile and/or maximally dishonest. The reason is that the overwhelming majority of people on this planet already believe that UFOs exist and many have seen flying saucers themselves. But the U.S.-led world capitalist dictatorship will NEVER EVER officially acknowledge the presence of UFOs and will always deny their existence because by so doing they would be openly admitting that the present ?civilization? on Earth is a low-level inferior civilization, which more advanced civilizations REFUSE TO MAKE ANY OFFICIAL CONTACT WITH! Acknowledging the existence of UFOs (flying saucers) would immediately also raise that crucial question of WHY the more advanced civilizations, which have solved the problem of space travel between stars, do NOT contact the governments of Earth. The reason is elementary and it is fundamental.

The Rule of Advanced Civilizations Never to Contact Lower Civilizations:

It is obviously a Rule of Advanced Civilizations never to make direct or official contact with a lower civilization defined as 1.) A civilization which has not advanced to World Socialism, which is the only way to permanently abolish the basis of all war on that planet as well as all threats to visiting civilizations and 2.) A civilization that officially denies the existence of UFOs and simultaneously expresses NOTHING but hatred, fear and hostility directed at UFOs and extraterrestrial life in its ?popular culture,? e.g. films. 3.) A civilization which has not developed the nuclear powered electromagnetic anti-gravity engine which is used to power travel between stars. Obviously no advanced civilization which has visited Earth would even dream of making official contact with such a civilization which now fulfills ALL of the above criteria and represents nothing but potential danger to them. Such an advanced civilization could never share ANY scientific information with such a lower civilization, such as the mechanism of the electromagnetic anti-gravity engine because lower civilizations, which have not reached the stage of World Socialism are fundamentally based on war, mass murder, crime and subjugation to steal new resources and new markets to increase private profits, and would immediately turn around and attack the advanced civilization. This is a no-brainer and we have to give the advanced civilization credit for some brains. The government uses ?Alien abduction? claims to discredit UFO reports in general but they may have some truth.

The United States government and other governments control virtually all information on UFOs. This includes virtually the entire Internet! With one exception observed by this writer, it is noteworthy that in this age of super high quality cell phone cameras with video capabilities, that there is NOT even one good photograph or video of a UFO publicly available. The exception was a short video, which appeared on RT Russian Television in the United States suddenly at the end of a news broadcast approximately 2 years ago (2008) and was BLIPPED one time only. The very clear video was of a UFO from a very short distance of no more than about 50 yards. There was no mistaking what it was and RT Russian Television provided no commentary. The Russian Federation was obviously tweaking their U.S. ?partners? and naturally there was no comment by the U.S.

It is absolutely certain that all UFOs come from within out own galaxy because the nearest other galaxy is Andromeda, which is 2,500,000 light years away, a distance so great that it would completely rule out intergalactic travel. The descriptions of the extraterrestrials from the July 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash describe very thin humanlike individuals somewhat smaller than humans with bilateral symmetry and large heads. Other reports concur with this description. The reason that they are so thin is due to calcium loss from the bones over generations of space travel. These advanced civilizations undoubtedly also use suspended animation during their very long interstellar journeys and/or employ in vivo telomerase to permanently halt all aging. Evolution rules out entirely the fantastical forms of extraterrestrial life imagined by Stephen Hawking apparently inspired by other U.S. government-approved science fiction writers, including those who were responsible for the film ?Independence Day,? etc. See below. Such increasingly crazed statements by people such as Stephen Hawking are thus also a direct attack on Evolution. Regarding speed of interstellar travel: mass becomes infinite as one approaches the speed of light. This would limit in a very practical sense the speed of interstellar travel to perhaps half the speed of light at most if that. That is still very fast and their actual velocity is probably much less actually. Those who set out on such missions from other planets know that they will never return because the distances are so vast. They are comparable to Lewis and Clark type exploratory expeditions. They would make their reports over the years, which would travel at the speed of light but would still take a long time to reach home.

Any and all supposed threats to ?invade Earth,? ?drain its resources? and/or ?colonize Earth? are entirely false and fictitious. The movie ?Independence Day? was made to refurbish U.S. patriotism/jingoism and incite hatred of all ?aliens? and most certainly does not concur with the descriptions in all previous reports of UFOs and of extraterrestrial life dating back for millennia. Note that even the Back to Africa Movement of Marcus Garvey could never have been accomplished because of the huge increase in the number of Black people in the U.S. since the advent of slavery. Colonizing and taking over an inhabited planet is thus sheer total nonsense. The ?attempts? by NASA, etc. to ?launch space probes to contact aliens? are just going through the motions and are just another denial of the fact that UFOs have been documented to have visited the Earth for millennia according to primitive drawings on the walls of caves and later depictions in other societies. No advanced civilization would want to advertise its presence to lower civilizations because of the threat described above, so even the giant Arecibo Radiotelescope in Puerto Rico is unlikely to detect presence of advanced ?aliens.?

The capitalist dictatorship uses every conceivable thing possible, even the threat of future invasions of aliens or rogue asteroids to try to generate the MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF CRISIS, which causes the masses to rally around and increase trust in the government no matter how oppressive and irresponsible it is, with the expectation that it will protect them. Incidentally, the strategy to divert even rather large asteroids has already been worked out in detail but is rarely mentioned in order to maintain as much fear and foreboding as possible, and simply involves detonating a nuclear device to the side of the asteroid, not on it, in order to divert it, not shatter it into multiple pieces, which would otherwise all be directed at Earth. Note that the so-called ?War on Terror? is also designed to generate the Mass Psychology of Crisis in providing the pretext to maintain capitalism in its Final Stage of Permanent War and State Terrorism. If Islamic Fundamentalism did not exist it would have to be invented, because it is perfect for organizing and manipulating Mass Provocations as the pretext for the so-called War on Terror. Under Islam the only solution to U.S. aggression is a bomb NEVER Socialism. (See below)

On the other hand the capitalist dictatorship reveals that it has no intention whatsoever of protecting the World from Global Warming now at the stage of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, as it steps up drilling for oil and destroys all life and ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico, now a Dead Sea! At a point where the oil economy should have been ended and the fossil fuel industry shut down?which can only be done after a Socialist Revolution, the Obama regime, working with the Federal Court system which it pretends to ?oppose,? has allowed deep water oil drilling to continue in almost 4000 other sites in the Gulf of Mexico (!) and has DECREED that later HE (Obama) will extend the same deep water drilling into the Atlantic Ocean all along the Eastern Seaboard where the seas are much rougher. If Obama was serious, which he is NOT, he would permanently stop all deep-water drilling on the basis of National Security! There will be more deep-water oil well blowouts. That is INEVITABLE! TIDAL POWER (tidalelectric.com), the only alternative energy source which can actually supplant fossil fuels for all uses except jet travel is never mentioned by Obama, Greenpeace (controlled, fake ?opposition?) and the oil companies who propose wind and solar because they know those sources can not supplant oil! Mandating a change from incandescent to fluorescent light bulbs is NOT simply a case of going through the motions. The Obama Regime knows very well that the bulbs contain the poisonous element Mercury and are easily broken and will also increase the death rate and help to reduce the population, a primary objective of the Obama Regime. For example, Bush in his wildest dreams could never ever have pushed through the Obama ?Healthcare Overhaul,? which was opposed by 58% of the American people and turns ALL of healthcare over to the insurance industry, while cutting $500 Billion from Medicare/Medicaid, the textbook definition of a scam, which is DESIGNED TO INCREASE HEALTHCARE RATIONING and bring people to an earlier death. End-Stage Capitalism is destroying the planet Earth while the masses presently remain neutralized. Capitalism is totally irresponsible and must be replaced by Socialism!

The Statecraft: Why the Capitalist Dictatorship
Wants the Masses to Believe in God:

The bottom line is that the capitalists want the masses to believe in a god?any god?even though there is no scientific basis whatsoever to support belief in a god (Precisely the opposite!)?because, to the extent that they believe in god, those who do believe in god believe that what happens in the world, including both natural events and political events, happens according to god?s will! The reality is that natural events occur due to the natural laws of science, physics and evolution, and what happens in world political events is due primarily to the decisions and actions of the U.S.-led world capitalist dictatorship, which still dominates world events! In the mind of the believer, god and the capitalist dictatorship?the capitalist government?become one! The capitalist government becomes god in the mind of the believer! This is pretty strong stuff and is what Karl Marx meant when he described religion as the opiate of the masses. Such false belief in god blunts the thrust for revolutionary change. Revolutionary change requires an absolutely scientific, objective and logical analysis of political events, political contradiction and political history, in order to learn how to carry out effective social change, meaning Socialist Revolution here in the United States the center of capitalism and worldwide!

Michio Kaku and the So-Called ?History Channel? Establishment
Cover Up the Fact that Einstein?s First 3 Papers in 1905
Were a Collaborative Effort With His Wife, Mileva Maric!

It should be mentioned that Michio Kaku and several others in typical sexist fashion in a 2-hour report on Albert Einstein on the so-called ?History Channel? covered up through lies of omission the irrefutable fact that Einstein?s wife Mileva Maric made substantial contributions to Einstein?s first 3 papers in 1905, his miracle year, and that her name was on all 3 papers which were first submitted according to the Russian scientist, Abraham Joffe, who saw the signatures of both Einstein and Mileva Einstein-Marity (Marity is a Serbian form of Maric) on the original copies of the those papers. Maric?s name was later removed from all the originals to hide her contributions in keeping with the sexism of that time when women could not even vote and were deemed to be mere chattels. Mileva Maric?s contributions are specifically mentioned in 13 of the 43 of Einstein?s love letters to Maric, those which were not destroyed. Thirteen of those letters contained statements which referred to her research or to their ongoing collaborative effort. The most likely reason for the destruction of the other letters was of course to hide the fact that those 3 historic 1905 papers were in fact a collaborative effort. See: LINK and LINK as well as a very determined and disparaging attack of Mileva Maric at: LINK which is nevertheless refuted by the actual facts.

Later in 1914 when they moved to Berlin, and after Einstein had had his macho ego pumped up through the roof by Max Planck and others, Einstein actually tried to get Mileva to sign an onerous document, apparently a provocation designed to drive her away, which was rejected by Maric, which would have reduced her to a virtual slave in her own house! Kaku and the other ?experts? of the establishment also cover up the fact that Einstein initially lacked the mathematics to formulate the General Theory of Relativity. Einstein had to be tutored in differential geometry for over a year by his longtime friend and colleague Marcel Grossman, who had attended the classes which Einstein had skipped, before he was able to formulate the mathematical proof of the General Theory of Relativity. The bottom line here is that Einstein was an intuitive astrophysicist, not an experimental astrophysicist and as such would undoubtedly have needed and benefited enormously from the relationship he had with his physicist wife, Mileva Maric, to confirm his ideas and to hear alternative points of view which the surviving letters from Einstein to Mileva indicate he incorporated into his first 3 papers from 1905. Einstein was not a god and had help all along the way.

The Fact that Einstein?s Brain Was Structurally Different Helped
But Was Not Determinative in his Contributions to Theoretical Physics!

The 1985 study of Einstein?s brain by Marian C. Diamond (see below) revealed that Einstein had more glial cells relative to neurons only in the left inferior parietal area, Brodmann?s area 39, where the difference was statistically significant. The parietal lobes of the brain form the association area of the brain. In this area Einstein possessed a significantly greater number of both astrocytes and oligodendroglia (oligodendrocytes) glial cells. Glial cells provide support and nutrition to the neurons, the brain cells?the grey matter. The number of glial cells increases with age given a normal blood circulation and increases up the evolutionary ladder. Astrocytes are the most numerous glial cells and fill the space between neurons by enveloping synaptic junctions in the brain, thereby restricting the amount of neurotransmitter molecules which have been released. Astrocytes have special proteins in their membranes which actively remove neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. In addition, Astrocytes also possess neurotransmitter receptors just like nerve cells, which allow them to most efficiently coordinate their metabolism with the neurons. Astrocytes also absorb extra-cellular potassium ions which build up as the result of neuronal metabolism, as well as absorbing other substances which can interfere with nerve cell function. They cushion the brain and permit a more complex brain structure as their numbers increase. Oligodendroglia cells, like Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, form myelin layers around the neuronal axons (fibers) which insulates the neuronal axons in the brain, and thereby participate in neuronal signal transmission. Larger numbers of glial cells supply more energy for neural circuits. Microglia, which function as phagocytes to remove the debris of dead or degenerating nerve cells and glial cells, were not included in the study. Supposed criticism of Diamond?s study, namely that Diamond and a colleague had previously discovered that a rat in an enriched environment developed more glial cells in each neuron than its counterpart in an impoverished area is totally irrelevant to her findings in Einstein?s brain.

Einstein?s Association Area Was 15% Larger Than Normal

The left inferior parietal cortex is part of the association area which was 15% larger in Einstein? brain due to the fact that Einstein?s brain lacked a complete Sylvian (lateral) fissure, which in Einstein?s brain did not extend posteriorly past the horizontal Central Sulcus of Rolando, which in all brains separates the frontal cortex from the parietal association area. Normal extension of the Sylvian fissure posterior to this point separates the temporal and parietal lobes of the brain. The lack of the Sylvian fissure in Einstein?s brain significantly expanded his parietal association area, while decreasing the size of the temporal lobe involved with speech: Einstein did not speak until he was 3 years old and had difficulty forming sentences. (The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement.)

The glial study was performed by Marian C. Diamond at the University of California (Experimental Neurology, Vol. 88, pages 198-204 (1985). The gross study of Einstein?s brain was only published in 1999 (!) in the Lancet, Volume 353, Issue 9170, Pages 2149 - 2153, 19 June 1999. In addition, this citation and all the authors: Sandra F. Witelson, Debra L. Kigar and Thomas Harvey are censored by Medline, Pub Med, etc. This article is not listed under any of the authors of the study and Internet search engines deliberately misdirect people to a letter in the Lancet which appeared only many months later: The Lancet, Volume 354, Issue 9192, Page 1822, 20 November 1999. The reason that these studies were published so long after Einstein?s death in 1955 was because his brain was so completely different in appearance and structure lacking the posterior extension of the Sylvian fissure. This finding had NEVER ever been reported previously in all the annals of anatomical literature. Because of the fact that it was only 10 years after the end of World War II when Einstein died it was feared that release of the autopsy findings of Einstein?s brain at that time would provide a further basis for anti-Semitism, with the cry going out that ?Jews are not like other humans! They are aliens! Look at Einstein?s brain! It?s not the same as that of other people!? While it is true that Einstein may have had an advantage by his brain anatomy both at the histological and gross levels, it is very unlikely that he would have made his contributions without the input of Mileva Maric his fellow-astrophysicist wife and his friend Marcel Grossman as documented above.

The Gutkind Letter Documents that Einstein was an Atheist!
Einstein?s Response to Strong Criticism by Soviet Scientists
Documents that by May 1949 Einstein was a Communist!

Einstein revealed very clearly and in no uncertain terms he was an atheist in his January 3, 1954 letter to Eric Gutkind, the Jewish philosopher, who had sent him a copy of his book Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt. The letter was sold for $404,000 at auction on May 15, 2008 by Bloomsbury Auctions in London and the relevant text was published in the British Guardian on May 13, 2008, and also in the New York Times on May 17, 2008. The published section states:

... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything ?chosen? about them.
In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the privilege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e. in our evalutations [sic] of human behaviour. What separates us are only intellectual ?props? and ?rationalization? in Freud?s language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.
With friendly thanks and best wishes
Yours, A. Einstein.

Many attempts have been made to falsely portray Einstein as someone who believed in god. The capitalist dictatorship media propagandists, and most recently especially the discredited professional liar Dennis Overbye, have been foremost in this effort. Even in the above-mentioned article in the New York Times Overbye tried to falsely attribute a belief by Einstein in ?a personal god,? falsely stating that Einstein had said that he was ?an agnostic? and ?not an atheist.? This is entirely false! Einstein made no such statements and also never made the statement falsely attributed to him: ?Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.? While Einstein?s did remark that ?God does not play dice with the Universe? in response to Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle, formulated by Heisenberg in March 1926, Einstein undoubtedly made that remark while his ideas on religion were still in formation. Einstein developed into an atheist and a Communist (Materialist). This is fully documented by Einstein?s own writings, and of course in the above letter to Eric Gutkind. See below!

In response to Einstein?s attempt to develop a theory of ?One world Government? using the United Nations as a basis, Soviet scientists, Seigei Vavilov, A.N. Frumkin, A.F. Joffe and N.N. Semyonov wrote an Open letter in the Moscow New Times, November 26, 1947, criticizing ?Dr. Einstein?s Mistaken Notions,? where they clearly explained that such a ?one world government? would be simply a means by which all countries would submit to U.S. capitalist dictatorship. Einstein reacted to the very solid criticism by immediately writing a rejoinder to his Soviet colleagues entitled ?A Reply to the Soviet Scientists? published in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, February 1948, where he lamely tried to defend his ideas and the United States. But by May 1949 Einstein had clearly done some re-thinking and completely reversed course! Einstein wrote: ?Why Socialism? published in the Monthly Review, New York, (May, 1949) where he solidly backed Socialism and the Russian Revolution! Einstein finally showed that he understood that capitalism cannot be turned into Socialism and that a Socialist Revolution is necessary to create the change he envisioned. ?Why Socialism? demonstrated that Einstein had begun to read Karl Marx, but unfortunately not Friedrich Engels? Socialism: Utopian and Scientific or the works of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin), the architect and leader of the 1917 Russian Revolution, whose writings in The State and Revolution supplied most but not all of the answers to the practical questions Einstein raises at the end of the essay with regard to the Soviet Union: namely the problem of the bureaucracy. (See below for a brief explanation of this crucial problem and Analysis and Theses by this writer, of which this Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics is only a small section, for a thorough consideration of the problems raised by Einstein and others.) No wonder Einstein was spied upon by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI and no wonder Einstein was not permitted access to the Manhattan Project where the atomic bomb was developed, a project which he and Leo Szilard initiated with their August 2, 1939 letter to Franklin Delano Roosevelt recommending the building of an atomic bomb before the NAZIs did. All of the above-mentioned documents except the Einstein/Szilard letter are available in ?Albert Einstein: Out of My Later Years? Revised Reprint Edition, Citadel Press, Secaucus, New Jersey 1956 and 1979.

The Question of the Soviet Bureaucracy under ?Socialism? or ?Communism.?

Einstein and all people want to know how to achieve a planned global economy based on human need not private profit. How do we limit or even abolish the bureaucracy? We first have to examine the real World View: Today we live in a world of nation states. All nation states are dictatorships of one class over another class, either the capitalist class over the working class or vice versa. (These are the only historically destined classes.) There is no ?democracy? at the present time, not even for the capitalists. Capitalism has a dynamic of its own independent of the wills of the actual capitalists and capitalist politicians, which leads to Fascism, barbarism and finally the end of civilization. (See above.) Communism is a stateless society, which has never been practiced and can never be practiced until capitalism is abolished worldwide beginning with a Socialist Revolution at its center?the United States. Within the framework of the class dictatorship there can either be a hard or a soft dictatorship. The hard dictatorship of capitalism is known as Fascism, which has several historical variants. Today the United States is a military, bureaucratic police state, known as Rule by Decree (a form of Bonapartism), a step short of Fascism, which requires the organized support of the petit-bourgeoisie (the middle class), the organization of armed gangs with targeted scapegoats. U.S. leaders are Fascists because they support the ever-hardening capitalist dictatorship.

All Workers? States are hard dictatorships in order to prevent internal and external attempts to restore capitalism. Stalin was not actually a Communist by practice. After being made General Secretary Stalin murdered Lenin by poisoning him (see detailed article by Soviet Academician Yegor Yakovlev in Moscow News, No 4 (3356), January 29-February 5, 1989), and murdered virtually all the living leaders of the Russian Revolution with the exception of Lenin?s wife whom he controlled. Thereafter Stalin rode the back of the Socialist Revolution and drew all his power from it and was compelled to defend it, but only to the extent necessary to keep himself in power. The class dictatorship which existed in the USSR was partly necessary in a world where world capitalism was waging a continuous war against it, and arose because of that existing global class war, but the dictatorship in the USSR was obviously unnecessarily overdone by Joseph Stalin and his political descendants. Even Lenin in his writings did not consider the reality that capitalism must be overthrown in its center, the United States, before actual Socialism and Communism can be achieved. In The State and Revolution Lenin describes how the bureaucracy is eliminated by direct election and immediate recall. But capitalism must be overthrown at its center before that is possible. At the point of overthrow of the capitalist dictatorship and the expropriation of all of their stolen wealth (the wealth of goods and services created by the Working Class) true democracy will finally exist. There will be no basis for the continued existence of the state which will begin to wither away, as explained in detail by Friedrich Engels in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Today that point is potentially closer than ever before despite the present widespread demoralization and brainwashing of the masses under capitalism. Please see previous analyses of this writer for the detailed explanation of the 1988 Soviet Surrender to the Threat of a Nuclear War (There was no ?Collapse of the USSR!?) and how the Socialist Revolution should be organized and carried out in the United States. Capitalism offers a world with no future and now threatens the existence of all life on Earth.

The Scientific Basis of Atheism:
The Origin of Matter is an Unknowable!

The capitalist dictatorship would have the masses believe that there is no limit on humankind?s knowledge, that everything is knowable and that everything was created by ?god.? But that is false; there is a limit on knowledge and there is no god. Because of the fact that we exist as part of the Universe we can not exit the Universe, stand outside it and declare that a god, much larger than we are naturally but of course in our own image, who naturally is usually white and always male, never female, created the Universe. The corollary is that the origin of matter is an unknowable! The false claim of supposed ?wormholes? by the string theorists of course is a way to try to condition peoples? minds to believe that they can do the opposite and exit the Universe, and is designed to set up the belief patterns for belief in god! (And while you?re at it, after you have exited the Universe don?t forget to check out ?god,? he?s right over there. Right near that wormhole you just crawled out of, Michio Kaku!) Modern science has answered virtually all questions except one: the origin of matter. This is an unknowable. What is knowable is the cyclic nature of the Universe and the evolution of life, which is inevitable given basic necessary conditions. See below. Today religion and ?god? continue to be invoked by the capitalist dictatorship to explain both the origin of life, matter and the existence of the Universe, rather than simply agreeing that certain things are unknowable. The reason is that the capitalist dictatorship uses religion to help control the masses as explained above.

The original basis for belief in god (multiple gods initially) and religion was due to humankind?s inability to explain natural events and life itself. Primitive society had to have an explanation for what could not yet be explained scientifically. The philosophy of antiquity was primitive, spontaneously evolved materialism (Engels), which found its expression in polytheism where various gods were invented in the minds of primitive peoples, which were thought to control different areas of life: There was a sun god, a moon god, a weather god(s) thought to control rain, thunder and lightning, a god for earthquakes, a god of the seas, a god for day, a god for night and in some societies a god to control almost every aspect of life. Polytheism however was incapable of clearing up the relation between mind and matter. As Engels explains: ?the need to get clarity on this question led to the doctrine of a soul separable from the body, then to the assertion of the immortality of this soul, and finally to monotheism.? As humankind?s thought gradually advanced and natural events acquired scientific explanations, polytheism gave way to monotheism. The old materialism was therefore negated by idealism. But in the course of the further development of philosophy, idealism, too, has become untenable in a practical sense and has been negated by modern Dialectical and Historical Materialism, presently tightly suppressed by the capitalist dictatorship.

Prior to the development of modern materialism, which serves as the basis for this analysis, and existing simultaneously with its development, organized religion formed pacts with the existing power structures, pacts which have spanned the entire sequence of civilization from the primitive slave societies of Egypt, Greece and Rome to the feudalism-based monarchies of Europe to today?s rapidly hardening war-based capitalist dictatorship. When the French Monarchy and the nobility were overthrown in the French Revolution the Catholic Church was first rejected as a competing center of power but then embraced as indispensable by the bourgeoisie, which emerged victorious under Napoleon Bonaparte when it became clear that the peasantry, which had carried out the revolution could not organize or wield power. The bourgeoisie quickly realized that religion was necessary to help control the masses as under the Monarchy and signed the Concordat of 1801 that reestablished the Catholic Church in France but with reduced influence. This has continued into the modern day where the capitalist dictatorship uses the belief in god and religion to blunt the thrust for revolutionary change as explained above. NAZI Germany also signed the Reichskonkordat in 1933 with the Catholic Church and similar agreements with the protestant churches in Germany, which were an important step in international acceptance of the NAZIs. Today the capitalists work overtime to keep alive the belief in a ?supreme being,? taking advantage of man?s arrogance and insistence to be able to explain everything. As mentioned above humankind cannot exit the Universe and is limited in this way.

In the same way the origin of matter is also thus unknowable. The scientific basis of atheism includes but is not limited to the knowledge of the Special Theory of Relativity, The General Theory of Relativity, The Theory of Quantum Mechanics, the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe, the origin of life through the Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey and Darwin?s Theory of Evolution Through Natural Selection. This scientific basis of life and the Universe does not hold a place for a god. The capitalists? propagandists try to keep the false idea of a god alive by claiming that science and religion are not incompatible. But they are entirely incompatible! There is no scientific basis for belief in a god and the religious Fascists know it very well. That is why they wage a continuous never-ending and ever-escalating battle against science in the classroom. The capitalists also front large organizations such as the John Templeton Foundation and the Stanford Templeton Research Institute for Nature, God and Science (STRINGS!) to try to reconcile religion and belief in god. The capitalist dictatorship has recently decided to push the theme of false unity of science and religion and belief in a god even more systematically with a TV series called ?Closer to Truth: Cosmos. Consciousness. God,? which appears on the CUNY Channel, where they push the same disproved and discredited falsehoods already cited above such as ?string theory,? ?dark matter,? ?dark energy,? ?time travel? and ?worm holes.? Good grief! Don?t be fooled for a second! This is simply creationism/intelligent design in disguise. It should be noted that the recent May 20, 2010 reported findings regarding the relationship of the 1% predominance of matter over anti-matter do not interfere in any way with this analysis or the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

As an example of the escalation of the attack on science and materialism by religion and reaction, the Obama Regime has appointed a Jesus Freak, a well-known evangelist/sophisticated creationism propagandist and vehement anti-materialist, Francis Collins, as the new head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which directs funding of the majority of medical/scientific research in the United States. Though he strongly denies it Francis Collins, who is a scientist, is also a NEO-CREATIONIST, who professes the most sophisticated form of INTELLIGENT DESIGN where he attributes all scientific laws and findings no matter how complex to ?god?! (This is another example of the Law of Unity of Opposites, which in this case is weighted toward reaction.) Note that the courts have already decided the obvious, that ?intelligent design? is simply a form of creationism in a highly publicized case: Kitmiller v. Dover Area School District, 400 F. Supp. 2d 707, M.D. Pa. 2005. Collins is also the author of ?The Language of God,? which absurdly claims the Big Bang and evolution were created by ?god? (!) and states: ?science offers no answers to the most pressing questions of human existence.? (!) This is a very Big Lie! Officially the Director of the NIH supposedly has very little power with decisions about how to spend the $30 billion annual budget being made by a committee of scientists or by the 27 directors of the individual institutes and centers, but Collins was chosen BECAUSE of his religious beliefs not in spite of them in order to provide him a bully pulpit for his beliefs. NIH funding is ALREADY highly politicized with the most worthwhile projects routinely rejected while the most ridiculous projects receive full funding! And contrary to Collins? claim, human illness and disease DO constitute ?one of the most pressing questions of human existence.? Because of his religious orientation the capitalist dictatorship previously appointed Collins head of the Human Genome Project. Although his ideology did not prevent him from doing his job there, where there were NOT so many different funding choices as at the NIH (where they are also much harder to follow), his high position and bully pulpit so to speak puts him in the position of Hoodwinking Chief Advocate for his sophisticated form of neo-creationism/intelligent design! The Pope of the NIH!

Note that Collins has also written: ?the claims of atheistic materialism must be steadfastly resisted.? But Collins provides no reason whatsoever why such materialist claims must be resisted. And even if the arguments for his claim were as plentiful as blackberries, Herr Collins would give us none of them. Collins presumably rejects all that is written above and herein because it exposes his superstitious ideology as a fraud! Collins also denies that the origin of matter is an unknowable, which it is. See above. Collins thus implies that HE can exit the Universe and see ?god? and that ?god? created the Universe when he states: ?God stands outside of nature.? (!) How would he know? Collins appointment is one more example of the one-way dynamic of capitalism-imperialism. Never before has a creationism-propagandist, disguised or open, been appointed as head of NIH or to the Human Genome Project! The appointment of Collins represents an increase in reaction, an escalation in the capitalist dictatorships? use of religion to befuddle the masses and emphasizes how important religion and superstition are to capitalist statecraft in order to keep the masses confused and brainwashed and further demonstrates the necessity for a Socialist Revolution in the United States!

Religious superstition can play no constructive role in either genuinely progressive thought or the process of organizing a Socialist Revolution in the United States. On the other hand the Socialist Revolution, while it does not support religion, permits no crushing of any religion nor does it not pit one religion against another as the capitalists do routinely as part of their strategy of divide and conquer, nor does it permit manipulating a religion to form the basis for the so-called ?War on Terror,? the pretext used to keep capitalism in its Final Stage of Permanent War and State Terrorism. This is what the capitalists have done in Iraq and elsewhere as part of their strategy of divide and conquer. The future of religion will be determined by an open long-term debate over time in a revolutionary evolving society and the strength of scientific evidence in addition to the polemics carried out by proponents of all religions as well as the proponents of atheism and Dialectical and Historical Materialism.

NOTE: the following paragraphs precede the above paragraphs in the entire piece about Global Warming and are in the proper order as they appear in the Analysis and Theses.

The Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already occurred on Venus where all the CO2 is found in the 932 degrees Fahrenheit (500 degrees Centigrade) atmosphere. The water in the oceans of Venus, which were nearly the size of the oceans on Earth, all evaporated away very early because of the heat generated by the Runaway Greenhouse Effect caused by the fact that Venus receives 30% more sunlight than the Earth. The evaporating oceans finally boiled away completely after the temperature reached the temperature of the Venusian boiling point of water, the equivalent on Earth of a measly 212 degrees Fahrenheit?on its way to the present 932 degrees Fahrenheit! Once in the upper atmosphere ultraviolet radiation from the sun split the H20 apart into hydrogen, which disappeared into space and oxygen, which reacted with minerals on the surface and also disappeared from the atmosphere. The Evolution of Life is what prevented a Runaway Greenhouse Effect from occurring on Earth as it did on Venus! Life did not evolve on Venus because of the heat, with the consequence that there was no plant and animal life to absorb the gradual build-up of CO2 from volcanoes, the source of all carbon, which eventually formed the thick atmosphere which exists on Venus today, composed primarily of CO2 (96.5%) with the remainder nitrogen (3.5%) and other minor components expressed in a few parts per million, such as argon 70 ppm, carbon monoxide 17 ppm, helium 12 ppm, neon 7 ppm, plus a sulfuric acid cloud deck (sulfur dioxide?150 ppm) beginning at about 50 kilometers above the surface. In addition, there are only 20 parts per million of water vapor remaining from the huge oceans which once existed on Venus. On Earth the CO2 which was released into the atmosphere through volcanoes went into evolving vegetation and then animal life, which over hundreds of millions of years became deposited in the crust of the Earth as the fossil fuels coal and oil. There is no carbon found in the crust of Venus. That is how we know that life did not evolve on Venus! Today the frenzied burning of those fossil fuels here on Earth has resulted in having the huge amount of CO2 stored in them being released all at once into the atmosphere. The Earth?s carbon sinks, the Earth?s natural storage mechanisms for CO2?the rain forests other vegetation and the oceans?have a limit and are now being overwhelmed. As occurred on Venus billions of years ago, that process now appears to have reached the stage of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect here on Earth. Without a Socialist Revolution here in the United States, which is the only possible way to still reverse that process, the situation on Venus today will be the future of the Earth in the not so distant future. We are presently experiencing the beginning of that future. Life on Earth will become totally unlivable far before we arrive at the situation existing on Venus today.

The response of the capitalist dictatorship to the Global Warming and Runaway Greenhouse Effect has been to INTENSIFY the drilling and mining for fossil fuels, which is what has caused the Global Warming in the first place. The Obama Regime?s role is to go through the motions, try to assuage the fear of the masses and ?fight climate change? with ?cap and trade ? which simple perpetuates oil usage. While providing yet another false solution, so-called ?fee and dividend? (see below), government-controlled false opposition figure James Hansen exposes cap and trade as a sham, ?a market-based (capitalist) approach ?which does little to slow global warming or reduce our dependence on fossil fuels,? but is designed to ?allow polluters and Wall Street traders to fleece the public out of billions of dollars,? and ?Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate? pointing out that the total impracticality of cap and trade: ?If every polluter?s emissions fell below the incrementally lowered cap, then the price of pollution credits would collapse and the economic rationale to keep reducing pollution would disappear.? Hansen?s scheme of ?fee and dividend? calls for a gradually rising ?carbon fee,? which would be the same as a value added tax (national energy sales tax) on all goods manufactured with fossil fuels. Which would then supposedly, according to Hansen, be ?redistributed to the public.? (!) (New York Times, December 7, 2009) But Hansen wants us to believe in Santa Claus hiding the fact that the capitalist dictatorship is waging an accelerating economic war of extermination (?population reduction?) against the masses and would never RETURN a national sales tax! The capitalist dictatorship wants to impose a national energy tax in any case, which they have no intention of returning! (Billionaires pay only 27.9% on their first $106,800 of income and have drained us dry!)

The temperature on Earth does not have to rise very much to destroy all life. This may occur in a couple of hundred years at most if the fossil fuel industry is not shut down entirely. This is the reality which fake ?opposition? figures such as James Hansen and Al Gore and Steven Chu deliberately hide, while they attempt to control the issue and lead it to defeat. As described elsewhere in the analysis of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect this process involves multiple positive feedbacks or vicious circles. The arctic sea ice normally reflects heat and light from the sun back into space, but this effect decreases as the ice is replaced by the darker sea water when the ice melts, which in turn absorbs more heat from the sunlight. This is known as the ice-albedo feedback or the ice-reflectivity feedback and is the most important feedback in the polar region. It was reported on NBC Evening News on May 13, 2009 that the polar ice may all be gone within 5 years. Because the North and South Poles act as thermostats for the planet removal of that thermostat may result in an abrupt increase in global warming making life much more difficult and increasing the melting of the ice on Greenland, raising sea levels much more rapidly.

In the 1951 science fiction/political film, The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Earth was visited by people in a flying saucer from a more advanced civilization which delivered an ultimatum at the end: ?It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.? The result of Earth being reduced to a burned out cinder is clearly not limited to war and peace or even nuclear war. Although it goes without saying that capitalism-imperialism, due to its internal dynamic as explained herein, automatically extends violence everywhere and even to outer space with its Star Wars Program, etc. (which has thankfully not yet been realized in practice), capitalism has also extended maximum violence to the environment, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico. The environmental reality, not science fiction, is that with the onset of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect the Earth is now on course to become a burned out cinder like Venus! Only a Socialist Revolution can avert this catastrophe! It is our right and it is our duty, according to The Declaration of Independence, to avert this catastrophe by ending the capitalist dictatorship in the United States through a Socialist Revolution.

The falsely labeled ?Archaea? bacteria, tube worms, which have evolved to live at temperatures of up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the hyperthermophilic bacteria, which have evolved to live at water temperatures of up to 239 degrees Fahrenheit will be the last life on Earth because of their ability to live at high temperatures.. (Incidentally, ?Archaea? was falsely so-labeled in order to spread confusion in science and to try to undermine in one blow both Darwin?s Theory of Evolution and the irrefutable Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey of 1953, who demonstrated that the basic building blocks of life; amino acids, purines, pyrimidines and carboxylic acids can all be produced by running electrical sparks simulating lightning through the most-likely original reducing atmosphere of Earth composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor or steam. Later experiments by Miller demonstrated that the precise atmospheric mixture was not as important as the fact that it be a reducing atmosphere, meaning that it must contain NO free oxygen, because the compounds necessary for life, namely amino acids, purines and pyrimidines (required for the synthesis nucleotides required to form RNA and DNA) and carboxylic acids (required for the synthesis of lipids) cannot be produced in an oxidizing atmosphere! In addition, it has been reported that Jeffrey L. Bada, who was a graduate student of Stanley Miller, and Adam P. Johnson a graduate student at Indiana University visiting Bada?s laboratory on an internship, working with co-workers, have discovered 22 amino acids in the original samples from the Stanley Miller-Urey experiments, including 10 that had not been previously reported. (The Miller Volcanic Spark Discharge Experiment, Adam P. Johnson, Daniel P. Glavin, Antonio Lazcano and Jeffrey L. Bada, Science, 17, October 2008. page 404, Vol. 322, no. 5900, DOI: 10.1126 science. 1161527). See also The New York Times, October 17, 2008. In a 1996 interview Stanley Miller also revealed that he had been able to produce pyridines and purines by creating more concentrated pre-biotic "dry beach" conditions, which would have been present in lakes lagoons and beaches on the primitive Earth. From that point everything is very clear.

Natural Origin of Nucleotides Finally Solved while NASA Attacks Evolution!

As reported in the Nature Vol. 459 pp.239-242, May14, 2009 by Sutherland JD et al, the actual formation of ribosenucleotides proceeds from constituent parts of arabinose amino-oxazoline and anhydronucleoside intermediates rather than from free ribose and nucleobases, thus finally solving the problem of the natural origin of nucleotides. The starting materials for the synthesis were cyanamide, cyanoacetylene, glycoaldehyde, glyceraldehyde and inorganic phosphate, all of which are plausible prebiotic feedstock molecules. The conditions of the synthesis were consistent with potential early-Earth geochemical models as made clear in the study. Although inorganic phosphate is only incorporated into the nucleotides at a later stage of the synthesis, its presence from the start is essential as it controls 3 reactions in the earlier stages by acting as a general acid/base catalyst, a nucleophilic catalyst, a pH buffer and a chemical buffer, according to the study! In addition, because these reactions take place at moderate temperatures this study by Sutherland et al. supports the Primordial Soup theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey first proposed by Thomas Darwin himself, who in his 1871 letter to the botanist Joseph Hooker stated that he believed that life evolved ?in some little warm pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts.? (!) Urey and Miller indubitably read this letter which motivated their work described above, which is ruthlessly ridiculed by the NASA creationists and their supporters and is not even mentioned by Nicholas Wade in the New York Times, May 14, 2008 reference article! Self-replicating RNA molecules are well known today and have been extensively studied and described in the major media and peer review journals. And DNA clearly evolved from RNA. There is no credible dispute. Problem solved. But the Big Lies just keep on coming!

NASA Has Genetically Engineered a Bacterium Forced to Grow With Arsenic
Substituted For Phosphorus as a Pretext to Make the Preposterous Claim that
Life Can EVOLVE NATURALLY with the Poisonous Element Arsenic in Order
To Falsely Justify Space Missions to Non-Life Bearing Celestial Bodies!

In an act of clumsy desperation, in a heavily-hyped paper in December 3, 2010 Science Express timed to appear on the same day as it was announced in the major media, e.g., The New York Times, where it was falsely announced as ?a discovery,? NASA has proved (big deal!) ONLY that they can GENETICALLY ENGINEER a, bacterium, from the hypersaline and alkaline Lake Mono in California ?with high dissolved arsenic concentrations (200uM!).? The bacterium which NORMALLY incorporates ONLY PHOSPHORUS into its DNA, RNA, proteins and cell membrane lipid structures while growing in that very lake, was genetically engineered to incorporate ARSENIC in these macromolecules by gradually increasing the concentrations of arsenic in the cell culture to astronomically higher levels (from 200 uM to 40 mM!) while totally eliminating PHOSPHORUS! This is called cell culture adaptation and was the genetic engineering method used by the U.S. Department of Biological Warfare to create the AIDS virus from the Visna-Maedi lentivirus (a sheep virus from Iceland), by gradually increasing the number of human T-4 lymphocytes in the cell culture of sheep T-4 lymphocytes. Actually the Visna-Maedi lentivirus was first adapted to bovine T-4 cells and then to human T-4 cells using this method, while being also fiendishly adapted to several other poor unsuspecting species (e.g., cats!) in order to give the false impression that lentiviruses are found normally in species other than ungulata (hoofed animals). They are not! This route can be proved through analysis of the proviral DNA for all 3 species!) Note that NASA?s genetically engineered bacterium in question, GFAJ-1, did NOT grow, much less EVOLVE starting with arsenic but with phosphorus and grew ?considerably better? with phosphorus as the paper admits! A similar phony claim, scientifically disproved below, that life itself supposedly ?evolved from submarine vents,? is also simultaneously hyped by same phony ?experts?/provocateurs such as Michio Kaku on BBC TV and elsewhere. As proved below the falsely labeled ?Archaea? itself represents an end point in evolution, not a beginning, and as demonstrated below could not possibly have been a starting point for the evolution of life. The New York Times article was written by professional liar Dennis Overbye in order to falsely shape the perception and significance of the NASA concoction, falsely claiming that the bacterium ?Finds Arsenic Tasty and Delicious? (!) and ridiculously claimed a day earlier, December 2nd, that the genetically engineered organism ?redefines life?using biochemical powers we have not yet dared to dream about.? Shudder! At the very end of the December 3rd NYT article contrary opinion appears, pointing out that the bacterium, GFAJ-1, is abnormally swollen to 60% normal size and hyper-vacuolated and the arsenate molecules that would make up the DNA backbone rather than phosphorus are unstable and would dissolve easily in water! But the Big Lie Technique is used to ram it home for NASA!

NASA also pushes the false ?Theory of Panspermia? on the phony, so-called ?History Channel? (July 2010) in order: 1.) to simultaneously attack evolution and 2.) to falsely justify primitive rocket trips to asteroids and other unlikely sources of life! In 1969 a carbonaceous meteorite fell in Murchison Australia which had a high concentrations of amino acids, about 100 ppm, found in the same pre-biotic experiments of Stanley Miller, proving that the early evolution of life is a constant which occurs throughout the universe given certain favorable conditions, NOT that life came to Earth from comets or asteroids from elsewhere?the so-called ?Theory of Panspermia,? which is also fraudulently being passed off as a ?theory of life.? Cosmic rays and the heat of entry into Earth?s atmosphere would have destroyed all life potentially surviving the near absolute zero temperature of interstellar or interplanetary space. The goal of these determined and deliberate falsifiers is to keep the masses confused on as many scientific matters and political matters as possible. Because a confused person cannot act! False analysis of one issue leads in turn to false analysis of another. In such a situation the masses are much more likely to think what they are told to think and to do what they are told to do by the capitalist dictatorship. Since 1969 incidentally numerous carbonaceous meteorites have revealed the presence of amino acids.

In falsely pushing ?Panspermia? NASA, on the so-called ?History Channel,? also claims that the water on Earth was delivered by asteroids and comets, a ridiculous assertion which is ruled out by isotopic and molecular ratio consideration. The solar system formed due to collapse of a large, cold slowly rotating nebular cloud of gas and dust into an accretion disk that defined the plane of the solar system. The terrestrial planets grew in this accretion disk bathed in a gas of Hydrogen, Helium and Oxygen (the latter from previous supernovae) with the dominant gas phases being H2, He, H20 and CO. There is a growing consensus never mentioned by NASA?s phony ?experts? that terrestrial planets accreted ?Wet.? What that means is that despite the fact that it was too hot for hydrous minerals to form, grains in the accretion disk did adsorb water vapor with multiple calculations using equilibrium thermodynamics showing that at least 2 Earth masses of water vapor existed within 3 AU (3 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun). The total amount of water in the Earth is approximately 10 Earth oceans, with most water being stored in minerals such as silicates. See: ?Origin of water in the terrestrial planets? Michael J. Drake, Meteoritics & Planetary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Pages 515-656 (April 2005), pp. 519-527(9).

LIFE ALSO DID NOT EVOLVE AT SUBMARINE VENTS! Among the more recent false claims of evolution of life is the truly ridiculous claim that life supposedly ?evolved at submarine vents? formed under the oceans where tectonic plates meet, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This Big Lie is being endlessly and relentlessly repeated on various phony ?science? shows. But it is a fact that submarine vents don't make organic compounds, they decompose them! These vents are one of the limiting factors on what organic compounds would exist in the primitive oceans. At the present time, the entire ocean goes through those vents in 10 million years. So all of the organic compounds are destroyed every ten million years. That places a constraint on how much organic material could accumulate. In addition, it also provides a time scale for the origin of life. If all the polymers and other compounds that evolve are continuously destroyed that means life would have to start early and evolve rapidly. Looking at the process in detail, it is clear that long periods of time would be detrimental, rather than helpful to this fraudulent, totally contrived and deliberately misleading so-called ?theory? of the origin of life which was created, among other reactionary reasons (see below), in order to provide a false pretext for NASA to carry out extremely costly and entirely unnecessary and useless space ventures using the primitive form of space travel, rocketry, to outlying planetary satellites under the false pretext of ?searching for life,? wherever there might be water (!) discovered by spectral analysis for example, in order to keep their jobs and obtain continued government funding and to serve as yet one more pretext to divert money from social spending. The NASA propagandists now ridiculously claim that ?the only thing necessary for evolution of life is water because every drop of water on Earth contains some bacteria.? (National Geographic Channel, August 15, 2010). Note that on other shows shown simultaneously they absurdly try to supplant Evolution itself with Panspermia, while falsely pushing civilizations supposedly built on arsenic! (See above.)

The most recent bizarre ?projects? in this series are the Obama plans to send missions to asteroids (!) and trying to privatize?just like Bush?what should properly be part of the existing government, even after a Socialist Revolution in the United States! Privatization of government agencies reflects both the one-way dynamic of capitalism and its true inherent anarchy. Instead there should be a concerted attempt to develop (or back-engineer) the electromagnetic anti-gravity engine used by the UFO?s. This requires nuclear power and a structural material which is super-conducting at room temperature. That material exists and is known as the nanotube form of carbon, the hardest known material ever discovered, far harder than diamonds. (Note that the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to 2 transplanted Russians for the discovery of a related carbon structure, graphene, with similar properties.) But it is highly likely that there is too much money invested in rocketry the most primitive form of space travel, which is backed by the oil industry, which has also just permanently destroyed the Gulf of Mexico from the bottom to the top for at least a hundred years while the oil industry demands to continue and expand deep water drilling!! This is further proof of the almost entirely one-way dynamic of capitalism, which is completely independent of the wills of the individual capitalists and politicians, a dynamic which leads to Fascism, barbarism and finally the end of civilization; and now with the advent of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, the end of all life on Earth, which will not come in ?a billion years when the sun expands? as falsely claimed but much, much earlier if capitalism is allowed to continue.

In the 1930?s a million strong Communist movement in the United States generated the pressure which forced Roosevelt to write the New Deal, 16 social programs which included the Social Security Act. Then and most recently on Public Television FDR was given credit for ?saving capitalism.? From what? From a Socialist Revolution in the United States! It was that close! So the New Deal, which is just a dream today?instead we get the No Deal and the Bad Deal because there is now a zero Communist movement in the United States?was at that time actually just a BRIBE! So why did the Communist-led Working Class take that bribe? The reason was because of the deliberate misleadership of Josef Stalin. Stalin himself was not a Communist in practice. Stalin opposed taking state power in all votes taken even the night before the 1917 Russian Revolution. Stalin voted with Kamniev who always voted against. Stalin murdered Lenin, a fact which was known since the 1920?s, but only officially acknowledged by Gorbachev in a detailed article in the Moscow News, No 4 (3356) January 29-February 5, 1989 and killed the majority of the leaders of the Russian Revolution, some outright some through show trials. In addition to deliberately misleading the Working Class in the U.S. and throughout Europe, Stalin sent 50,000 Chinese Communists to their deaths before Mao Tse Tung finally stopped following Stalin?s directives. In 1943 Stalin ended the Communist International officially! So much for Stalin being a ?Communist.? We need to build back a genuine Communist Party to a million strong and more. We need a Socialist Revolution here and now in the United States. For those who believe unnecessarily that they need a legal basis, the Declaration of Independence is actually a transitional document for a Socialist Revolution in the United States. In the final analysis all wars are won and lost on morale and every movement begins with the call. This analysis is part of that call.

The Capitalist Dictatorship Falsifies Basic Science!
Michio Kaku, Wendy Freedman, Dennis Oberbye,
Brian Greene, etc. Are Exposed as Liars!

Today basic medicine, science including climatology, astrophysics and even both Einstein?s Special Theory and General Theory of relativity are brazenly and routinely falsified at the direction of Fascist elements for political/religious reasons. These scientifically fabricated and bizarre distortions are mixed in with some actual science and are passed off as ?the new science? in exhaustive falsifications lasting for hours on NOVA, FRONTLINE, National Geographic Channel and the so-called ?History Channel,? not to mention the new textbooks! Can you say Total Brainwash of the youth? Not to mention the adult population! The widespread genuine academic opposition to these wide-scale falsifications of science is never given equal time! We demand and will take some time to refute the U.S.-led capitalist dictatorship?s lies.

The Capitalist Dictatorship?s Attempt to Falsify the
Age of the Universe to Help Provide False Belief in ?god?

The capitalists have tried to falsify the actual age of the Universe and the infinite cycle of a Big Bang followed by a Big Crunch, meaning a closed rather than an open Universe, because the reality of a closed Universe does not fit with the religious brainwash of a single creation and belief in a supernatural fictitious ?god.? (The statecraft of capitalism?s alliance with religion and belief in ?god? and other superstition is exposed further below.) The reality is that the process of contraction of the Universe begins soon after the Big Bang, which begins the process of expansion. The process of contraction began with the first condensations of gas after the Big Bang. At first the process of expansion is dominant, but the processes of expansion and contraction exist simultaneously from shortly after the Big Bang until finally the process of contraction becomes dominant and all galactic matter is finally drawn into Supermassive Black Holes, which today form the centers of all spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies in the process of becoming spiral galaxies. These Supermassive Black Holes, which are growing larger continuously, finally link up all existing matter of the Universe finally at one spot in the Big Crunch, at which time critical mass in the true and ultimate sense is reached for another Big Bang Cycle and the beginning of another Universe. The critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity, which predicted Black Holes. Neutrinos are now known to have mass which may be sufficient to supply the supposed ?missing mass.? (See below.) But probably even more significant is the recent paper in Science, November 21, 2008 which shows that 95% of matter in the Universe exists in the form of energy according to Einstein?s formula E=mc2. This relationship would reverse in a Black Hole and the so-called ?missing mass? would gradually appear as the contraction of the Universe allowed the energy-mass relationship to shift so that in a practical and real sense Einstein?s formula would be solved for mass: m=E/c2. Though the authors of the paper fail to draw this conclusion that is the inescapable significance of those papers. See below. The fact that the expansion and contraction of the Universe occur simultaneously is one more example of the Law of Unity of Opposites, the Second Law of and Historical Materialism and the correctness of the scientific philosophy of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, as opposed to the false philosophies of idealism and metaphysics, which are the only philosophies permitted to be seriously taught in U.S. colleges and universities, and which form the underlying basis for all phony ?cosmological? theory! See further below!

Back Holes Have Mass and a Size, Which
Can Be Calculated, and Rotate on an Axis!

In addition, in the Big Crunch matter most certainly does NOT collapse to ?a single point less than the size of a single molecule,? a totally ridiculous assertion by the so-called ?string theorists? (see below) designed to try to discredit the Theory of the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe. Black Holes are formed exclusively of condensed nuclear material; protons and neutrons (composed of quarks) and electrons (composed of leptons) devoid of their orbits and all motion, all collapsed together. The end point of all matter in the Big Crunch is a Single Black Hole, the so-called ?singularity.? All Black Holes have the same mass density which is said to be infinite, but which is no greater than the mass of all combined nuclear material from all stars and gas contained in the Black Hole as explained above. The only difference is the difference in mass. Please note that while some of the information provided below may appear to be somewhat technical it is necessary for any subsequent challenges which might be made of this dialectical an historical materialist analysis. An educated reader should be able to understand most of it and follow for the most part the explanations, which have in turn have vast political implications. A few key references are provided and the reader can research the area independently.

Black Holes have mass and size just as neutron stars (pulsars) also have mass!! All Black Holes, both Stellar Black Holes and Supermassive Black Holes (the result of combination of millions of solar masses) which form the center of evolving elliptical galaxies and all spiral galaxies, also rotate extremely rapidly just like neutron stars, some of which are estimated to be only 8 to 20 miles in diameter, and rotate in 1.4 milliseconds to 30 seconds! All stars rotate on a central axis to some degree due to the angular momentum of gas approaching the center of the proto-star prior to the ignition of hydrogen fusion. In other words the gravitational collapse of gas in star formation is not uniform just as its opposite, an explosion such as the Big Bang is not uniform. When the radius of the star is reduced drastically in stellar collapse the angular momentum remains the same but the momentum of inertia is sharply reduced. The standard example is that of a figure skater spinning with outstretched arms who speeds up by pulling in his/her arms. Black Holes are formed from the collapse of the largest Blue Giant stars 5 to 20 or more solar masses. Neutron stars are formed from the explosion of stars with 1.35 to 2.1 solar masses in a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova explosion. The rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes is in fact the reason Spiral Galaxies exist in the flattened disk form they do with spiral arms?because of the huge gravitational force exerted by the rapid rotation of Supermassive Black Holes which form their galactic centers! As the rotating Supermassive Black Hole in the galactic center gradually increases in size through accumulation/accretion of more stellar material and gas, the elliptical galaxy, which is in the process of becoming a spiral galaxy, first flattens due to the rapid rotation of the Supermassive Black Hole in its center. It should also be noted that as would be expected there exist a high number of stellar black holes in the galactic center drawn by their strong gravitational fields on their way to join the central Supermassive Black Hole. According to observations of the Chandra X-Ray Telescope released in a July 16, 2005 report there are 10,000 stellar black holes along with numerous neutron stars orbiting the Supermassive Black Hole in the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy, officially designated Sagittarius A (SGR A)! The Supermassive Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy has a mass of 3.7 million solar masses, while a Supermassive Black Hole in the constellation Virgo 50 million light years distant contains a Supermassive Black Hole with the mass of 3 billion solar masses.

The spiral arms comprised of outlying stars are formed by the combination of the gravitational force coming from the rapidly rotating galactic center and the relative gravitational attraction of one outlying star to another based on their actual distances from one another. As the outlying stars approach neighboring stars due to gravity this leaves other areas where stars are much less concentrated giving rise to the appearance of usually 2 major spiral arms originating from each end of the central bar often found in the galactic center, as well as several minor spiral arms, all of which are actually in the process of being gradually drawn inexorably toward the galactic center. The gravitational force of the Black Hole, the mass of which is steadily increasing, gradually overcomes the outward centripetal force caused by its rapid rotation.

Central bars form after the Supermassive Black Hole in the center of a large spiral reaches a certain size and are therefore found more prevalently in more massive galaxies where the required mass is reached sooner. Central bars form when stellar orbits in a spiral galaxy become unstable and deviate from a circular path. The tiny elongations in the stars' orbits grow and become locked into place, forming a bar. The bar becomes even stronger as it locks more and more of these elongated orbits into place. Eventually a high fraction of the stars in the galaxy's inner region join the bar. The galactic center thus attracts both gas and stars. This concentration of gas at the center of spiral galaxies does result in the formation of new stars but does not represent the primary or original source of star formation, which occurs in the beginning of formation of galaxies from gravitational condensation and collapse of primordial gas clouds. The central bars draw a large amount of gas towards the galactic center, fueling this new star formation, building central bulges of stars, and feeding the supermassive central black hole. The formation of a bar may be one of the last stages in the evolution of a spiral galaxy prior to its eventual total collapse entirely into its central Supermassive Black Hole.

Information Overload by NASA and U.S. Government Propagandists is used to Distract
Focus Away from the Significance and Central Role Black Holes Play in the Process
Of Contraction of the Universe which Finally Becomes Dominant in the Big Crunch!

In the interest of accuracy and also to mention that this information is being misused by NASA and other U.S. government propagandists to try to distract from and obscure the significance of black holes and the central role black holes play in the process of contraction of the Universe, which ultimately becomes dominant over the simultaneous process of expansion. First, it is a fact that matter generally enters a black hole through a combination of both gravitation and magnetism. Matter in the accretion disk which spins around the black hole can only enter the black hole after it loses its angular momentum. The inertia of the material in the accretion disk keeps it spiraling in a disk rather than falling straight into the black hole. The inertia in turn is due to the mass of the material in the disc and the gravitational field caused by the extremely rapid rotation of the black hole itself. An accretion disc is a rotating disk of gas, dust and other matter that may form around any of a variety of stars or other massive objects from protostars to white dwarfs to neutron stars to stellar black holes and Supermassive Black Holes and even quasars (see below). While the accretion disc of a young star or protostar usually contains dust which later consolidates or accretes to form planets and other objects, the accretion disk of a black hole, which may also contain stars, feeds matter directly into the black hole.

According to a report in the July 22, 2006 Nature, and another 2008 paper by F. Casse Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 50 124020 (9pp) confirming the 1973 theory of Starobinsky and Churilov, the spinning gas in an accretion disc generates its own magnetic field which powers a wind of charged particles directed away from the black hole. The wind of charged particles transfers angular momentum from the inner regions of the disk outward in a twin jet phenomenon perpendicular to the plane of the accretion disk allowing angular momentum to be conserved, meaning to remain balanced or constant. This transfer of angular momentum outward slows down the spinning gas near the center, allowing gravitation to draw matter into the black hole. The magnetic field also causes turbulence and friction to build up within the disk. The friction heats up the gas to millions of degrees, causing it to glow brilliantly in the ultraviolet and X-ray bands. In Supermassive Black Holes large jets of plasma flow away from the accretion disc perpendicular to its center at almost the speed of light. These jets of plasma travel outward along the magnetic field lines which are twisted by the rotating accretion disk. It should be noted that the material which flows outward in the jets represents only a tiny amount of material extracted from the accretion disk. (Plasma, which is found in the accretion disk closest to the black hole, is a partially ionized gas, where a certain proportion of electrons are free, not being bound to atoms or molecules, unlike the gas form of matter. This permits electrical conduction of magnetic fields. Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter in addition to solid, gas and liquid.

Redshift Measurement of Quasars puts the Age of the Universe at 28 Billion Years!

The process where matter enters a black hole from its accretion disk may be greatly expanded during the formation of quasars where a Supermassive Black Hole at a galactic Center accretes a huge amount of matter in the order of billions of stars. When two black holes combine or a stellar black hole enters a Supermassive Black Hole in a galactic center the process causes the emission of radio waves and even visible light. When hundreds of millions to billions of stars and enormous amounts of gas first combine to create a Supermassive Black Hole in the center of a galaxy the energy released is exponentially increased and is known as a quasar. In a quasar this radiation is emitted across the entire spectrum, almost equally, from X-rays to the far-infrared with a peak in the ultraviolet-optical bands, with some quasars also being strong sources of radio emission and of gamma-rays. Quasars are the most visibly luminous objects in the Universe and are also the strongest energy source in the Universe. A quasar is simply an accelerated process of formation of a Supermassive Black Hole in an early galaxy. The release of gravitational energy by matter falling towards a massive black hole in the formation of a quasar is the only process known that can produce such high power continuously, energy far greater than the fusion process which powers stars. Quasars easily outshine their host galaxies. (The light we see is from the huge superheated accretion disk, which is greatly enlarged due to the high density of matter in such galaxies. Stellar explosions such as Supernovas and gamma-ray bursts can create the same level of energy, but only for a few minutes.

All observed quasar spectra have redshifts between 0.06 and 6.5. Applying Hubble's law to these redshifts, it can be shown that they are between 780 million and 28 billion light-years away, a measurement which is NOT due to gravitational lensing, although this has been reported for some extremely bright quasars. This is proof that the Universe itself is at least 28 billion years old! So the most recent ?estimates? of the Hubble Constant and the actual age of the Universe by NASA Wendy Freedman and company and the media (a privatized arm of the U.S. ?intelligence community?) are obviously totally false! (See below.) The process of quasar formation occurred regularly in the early Universe in the formation of galaxies with huge densely concentrated gas and stars. It should be obvious that the first galaxies to form in the Universe generally contained the highest volume and concentration of gas, which in turn created the highest concentration and densities of stars. The Supermassive Black Holes at the center of those early galaxies became quasars. Galaxies without such high densities of matter develop more along the lines of our own Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda, for example. Formation of galaxies is still occurring but generally they do not become quasars because the volume and density of gas is insufficient. An exception is 3C 273 in the constellation Virgo which is only 33 light years away with a luminosity equal to 2 trillion times that of our sun or about 100 times the total light of the Milky Way. Their discovery by Maarten Schmidt in 1967 was early strong evidence against the totally discredited steady state theory of Fred Hoyle, and in favor of the Big Bang Theory. Blazers, incidentally are the same as quasars but have their perpendicular jets in direct alignment with our galaxy, while quasars have their jets pointed away in another direction.

As part of the escalating campaign of Big Lies in March 2009 NASA made the totally disingenuous statement on a National Geographic Channel so-called ?Naked Science? show that ?while black holes are associated with galaxies we (who we?) do not yet know what that relationship is!? The motive for that feigned ignorance/Big Lie is to try to obscure the documented reality that the matter of all galaxies is entering black holes as part of the ongoing contraction of the Universe, which begins shortly after the Big Bang and takes places simultaneously with the process of expansion and finally becomes dominant. As explained herein expansion of the universe has slowed down enormously since the Big Bang and will be overtaken by the process of contraction until all mass in the universe has again entered the final Black Hole, the so-called final singularity in the Big Crunch. At that point there will be another Big Bang and another Universe will begin. In addition NASA and other government propagandists have attempted to overemphasize the accretion disk/jet phenomenon and the huge energy produced as matter enters a black hole or quasar, almost to make it appear that black holes and quasars are ?expelling? matter rather than drawing it in, virtually standing black holes on their head! These fraudulent NASA/U.S. government propagandists hope that most viewers know absolutely nothing and will believe virtually anything they are told and that most people will not do their own research. That is why the information which appears here should be forwarded by email and networked in every possible way nationally and internationally in order to counter the U.S. capitalist dictatorship?s Big Lies. The objective of the capitalist dictatorship is to render the population more susceptible to their lies in every area including politics and economic ?explanations,? which also have little to no basis in reality. These capitalist dictatorship now resorts to the come on of ?naked science? in order to try to sex-up their Big Lie propaganda, although in other National Geographic ?Naked Science? programs there are some truthful presentations.

The Hubble Constant is a calculation of the speed at which the Universe is expanding and is crucial in calculating the age of the Universe. Four methods have been used to estimate the Hubble Constant and age of the Universe. The most recent method employed by Allan Sandage, et al measures the distances to Type 1a Supernovae explosions in distant galaxies and then confirms those measurements by comparing the relative luminosities of Cepheid variable stars as so-called ?standard candles,? while Wendy Freedman?s NASA team uses Cepheid Variable stars alone, which is a lot less accurate. Freedman?s method especially is an easy method in which to either err or to deliberately falsify results as she and her NASA team have clearly done. (See below.) The typical errors in calculating the Hubble Constant include: 1.) ?the universal, yet unjustified Period-Luminosity relation of Cepheid (variable stars), 2.) neglect of selection bias in magnitude-limited samples or 3.) the errors which are inherent to the adopted models,? which cause most values of the Hubble Constant and corresponding estimates of the age of the Universe to be incorrect as explained in detail in the most comprehensive review which has yet been published, which also includes the Sandage team?s most recent calculation of the Hubble Constant to date of 62.3 +or?1.3, which is based on measurements to 279 galaxies: ?The expansion field: the value of the Hubble Constant,? by G.A Tammann, A. Sandage and B. Reindl, Astron Astrophys Rev (2008), 8 July 2008, 15:289-331, DOI 10.1007/s00159-800-9912-y.

This value of the Hubble Constant corresponds to an age of the Universe of approximately 13.7 billion years, which should be sufficient to permit the Big Crunch. However even this method of calculation of the Hubble Constant, which as exhaustively explained and documented by Allan Sandage et al, is fraught with potential errors cited above, which Sandage takes account of and systematically avoids. As mentioned above Wendy Freedman and Co. on the other hand use only Cepheid variable stars in their ?calculations? and deliberately include faulty (fraudulent) data in their calculations as explained to this writer personally by Allan Sandage, therefore making Freedman & Co.?s method of determination of the Hubble Constant even easier to falsify. Such data is systematically excluded by Sandage et al. as explained above. In response to the withering but suppressed critique by Sandage et al, known primarily only to other astrophysicists who follow these matters, Freedman has published a slew of pathetic papers addressing such topics as ?correction of errors involving optical extragalactic background light (EBL), sampling-induced errors, magnitude errors, and random and optimal sampling,? etc. where she always comes up with ridiculously high (fraudulent) values for the Hubble Constant. Fraudulent data was necessary for Freedman & Co. to reinvent the entirely fictitious so-called ?dark energy,? Einstein?s ?Cosmological Constant,? (?My greatest blunder!? See below), which is declared to be ?the opposite of gravity? and which has no scientific explanation whatsoever but is proffered as ?the reason? the capitalist dictatorship and its media (and textbook) propagandists now say that the expansion of the Universe has unexplainably ?speeded up,? a ?finding? which violates all previous findings not to mention all known rules of physics including the General Theory of Relativity! In other words this finding is totally invented, totally fabricated, a Big Lie to end all Big Lies! All designed to achieve political-religious-propagandistic objectives. See below. Legitimate opposing viewpoints are simply ignored and in practice not permitted to be heard! How jolly!

Regarding the most recent results given above for the Hubble Constant, this writer would still prefer to accept Sandage?s previous calculation of 55 +or-5, which has been repeatedly established in papers from 1975, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1995, although it may certainly be possible that the 62.3 +or-1.3 value is the most accurate and it is certainly can be argued that 55 +or-5 is not that far removed from the new figure. The reason for this caution is that Allan Sandage is now 82 years old and although he is 100% intellectually intact and in control of all of his faculties his name is listed second in the above paper indicating that he himself may not have collected the data used in the calculation giving 62.3 +or-1.3 for the Hubble Constant. This writer has not spoken or corresponded with the other members of his team, as this writer has, with Allan Sandage. Sandages?s team also often includes A. Saha who was not included in the above paper, so this writer can not rule out alteration of the raw data to give a falsely high Hubble Constant by certain personnel who might be bribed by the NASA forces in charge of the Key Project, which was set up determined to achieve a certain result come hell or high water. This issue is important enough to the capitalist dictatorship so that they would leave no stone unturned to tweek the results in their direction for reasons explained further below. In addition, we are reminded that the Redshift of some quasars puts the age of the Universe at 28 billion years! See above.

The U.S. so-called ?intelligence community? organized the so-called ?Key Project? in order to cover up the cyclic nature of the Universe from Big Bang to Big Crunch. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was built primarily for the ?Key Project.? This is an important point. The capitalist dictatorship chose Wendy Freedman to lead the project rather than the obvious choice, Allan Sandage, the legendary, most preeminent and world-renowned astrophysicist as well as the number one authority on the Hubble Constant along with his internationally renowned group of astrophysicist colleagues. See above. The reason was that Sandage?s studies up to that point had shown the Universe to be ?between 14 and 18 billion years old, depending on what is assumed about the mass of the Universe.? This corresponds to a Hubble Constant, which he and colleagues had repeatedly calculated to be 55 +or-5 as cited above. An older age and smaller Hubble Constant, of course, would mean that the Universe contained easily enough matter to permit the Big Crunch, which is the key point the capitalist propagandists want to discredit because that would rule out a single creation and make the existence of a god, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever, even more unlikely! This is the actual statecraft behind the ?Key Project.? See further below.

Freedman?s initial claim that the Universe was only 8 billion years old was obviously fraudulent, as have been all of her subsequent ?estimations.? All of Freedman?s estimations of the age of the Universe and the Hubble Constant have been designed to try to fraudulently invalidate (!) the Big Bang, the Big Crunch especially and the cyclic nature of the Universe in particular. The preposterous claim of an 8 billion year age is a direct attack on the Big Bang, which has been verified worldwide. In her initial unrestrained enthusiasm to falsify and misinterpret her own data (see above) Freedman forgot about the 1.) Red shift discovered by Edwin Hubble (see below) and 2.) the detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is the residual effect of the Big Bang both of which exist as irrefutable evidence for the Big Bang origin of the Universe! Anyone using simple inductive reasoning would immediately begin to smell a rat! The capitalist dictatorship has a long history of political meddling and sabotage in virtually all fields of scientific and medical research and a history of using scientific advances against the masses in order to control them and also to reduce the population according to their own perceived needs, e.g. from Bio-warfare to Bio-fuels (through enforced starvation). In January 2003 Freedman was made the Director of the Carnegie Observatories located in Pasadena, California where Allan Sandage works thereby placing her above him as a maneuver to make her fraudulent estimates of the Hubble Constant appear more authoritative in the public eye!

NASA Propagandists Have Now Concocted the Fraudulent ?theory of the
Big Rip? In Order to Try to Counter the Reality of the Big Crunch and
The Information which Appears Here Now Found All Over the Internet!

NASA in a new propaganda blitz using their standard Big Lie technique in order to try to refute the information, which appears here and all over the Internet, has pushed back hard with the totally discredited claims on the National Geographic Channel March 2009 that 1.) ?dark matter? forms a supposed ?superstructure? of the universe from the very beginning of the Big Bang until the present 2.) the fictitious ?dark energy? will eventually ?become so strong? that it will overcome all 4 primary forces including the strong force, which holds quarks and gluons together to form protons, neutrons and other particles, and that the entire Universe will supposedly ?fly apart ripping apart galaxies, stars, planets and eventually every speck of matter in a fantastical end to time? in what the fraudulent propagandist Robert Caldwell describes as ?the Big Rip.? This is also known as the theory of the flat universe. Such brainwash already appears in the astrophysics textbooks of the capitalist dictatorship! We recommend that it be exposed as a Big Lie whenever and wherever it is encountered. The capitalist cosmologists/propagandists have demonstrated that they can not coherently reply to any of the arguments advanced in this Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics except through contrived, feigned ignorance and totally bizarre Big Lies, which require a religious-like faith (in dark energy and dark matter, for example) to actually believe them?their overall objective in the first place as explained here, so do not be intimidated by the doctoral degrees they award themselves and the exalted positions held by these frauds in order to try to legitimize their lies and control and monopolize this field as they try to do with all others.

There is no such thing as ?Dark Energy? and the Universe has not suddenly increased its rate of expansion as falsely claimed by these frauds. Just the opposite! The rate of expansion of the Universe has continued to slow! All previous studies have indicated that is the case. The Universe is not open. Just like the Earth itself the spatial curvature of the Universe is NOT flat! It is closed. In reality there are no ?worm holes.? For worm holes to exist just within the known Universe would require changing space-time topology and would require regions of negative energy, which does not actually exist. There are no ?strings.? ?String theory? is a mathematical attempt to try to refute and supplant, not explain, the Theory of Quantum Mechanics, the foundations of which were established during the first half of the twentieth century by Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Albert Einstein, etc.! See below for the most likely solution to the Grand Unified Theory.

It should also be noted that although we may be able to receive light from galaxies which started its journey virtually at the beginning of the Universe, that light does not portray the reality at this point in time of that galaxy which was the source of that light. The reality is that most of the Universe is undoubtedly relatively uniform in its development today except where there are huge clouds of gas from super novae explosions and where there are huge accumulations of matter such as the Great Wall of galaxies, the latter of which formed due to the irregularities which occurred in the Big Bang just as in any other explosion. In other words the light from our own galaxy, the Milky Way, would appear to an observer from the most distant galaxies to be receding at the same rate that their light is receding from our own galaxy! This should be a no-brainer but is rarely if ever mentioned. The only viewpoint which is ever mentioned is from the Earth as if it were the center of creation. Which it is not!

Recent Findings Document that the Mass of the Universe
Increases as Matter Enters a Black Hole and the Final Singularity!
This Finding Totally Refutes Infinite Expansion of the Universe
And ?String Theory!? The Fact That Neutrinos Have Mass Also
Provides the Basis For the Big Crunch!?

The false claim that there is supposedly ?insufficient Dark Matter? to permit the Big Crunch to take place is entirely refuted by 2 discoveries. Perhaps even more significant than the work on neutrinos discussed below is the most recent paper published on November 21, 2008 in Science. More than 99% of the visible mass of the Universe is made up of protons and neutrons. Recent calculations of the mass of the nucleus, which found that that matter, which is composed of protons and neutrons, which are in turn are composed of quarks held together with gluons by the strong force, normally exists as 95% energy, according to the formula from Einstein?s Special Theory of Relativity: E=mc2! This provides further confirmation for the Big Crunch. Why? The reason, not drawn as a conclusion by the authors of the paper, is that in a Black Hole and moreover in the final Black Hole, the ?Singularity,? that relationship would be 100% reversed, with all matter existing in the form of mass: m=E/c2. The mass of the Universe would therefore apparently increase according to these findings as matter enters a Black Hole as energy shifts to its mass equivalent! (Obviously this is the precise opposite of what occurs in a nuclear explosion where matter is converted entirely to energy according to the equation E=mc2.) (Science, Vol. 322, 5905:1198-1199 and 1124-1127) On the other hand such tidbit reports as ?Excess Particles From Space may Hint at Dark Matter,? (Science, Vol. 322, 5905:1173) are only red herrings meant to titillate, to keep attention diverted away from focusing on key findings of genuine significance.

The discovery that neutrinos have mass also provides a further basis for the Big Crunch. This fact was first reported on July 1, 1998 by a collaboration of 120 U.S. and Japanese physicists at the Neutrino 98 meeting in Takayama, Japan and submitted to Physical Review Letters. (By Super-Kamiokande Collaboration (Y. Fukuda et al.) Phys.Rev.Lett.81:1562-1567,1998.) Neutrinos have sufficient weight to allow the Big Crunch! The experiment measured the differences in mass of the three types of neutrinos to be 0.1 eV or greater. The group reported that the simplest interpretation of the solar and atmospheric results is that the heaviest neutrino has a mass of 0.1 eV. However, they reported that since oscillations between the 3 types of neutrinos depend only on the differences in mass it is possible that the masses of all three neutrinos are fully 1 eV or greater, but that it is the mass differences which are much smaller. (They allow for the ?possibility.? How nice! They know that the majority of physicists do not simply automatically accept the interpretation which is first proffered.)
This makes the most sense and is of course suppressed for political reasons. (See below.) If the mass of the neutrino is 1 eV that would mean that neutrinos account for more mass in the Universe than all of the protons and neutrons put together easily supplying the ?dark matter? necessary for the Big Crunch. As mentioned the critical mass density required for the Big Crunch to occur is 1 x 10 to the negative 29th of a gram per cubic centimeter (approximately 5 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter), according to the calculation from the General Theory of Relativity. In addition, the fact that neutrinos have mass also provides the basis for the Grand Unified Theory which links the gravitational force described in the General Theory of Relativity with the strong and the weak forces and electromagnetism described in the Theory of Quantum Mechanics. Einstein struggled and failed to formulate this theory, but it has already been shown that at high enough energies electromagnetism and the weak force are the same force known as the electroweak force. It is theorized that if energies are increased even further and neutrinos acquire mass, which has now been fully documented, all the known forces will reduce to the same force thus providing the basis for the Grand Unified Theory. This high energy level existed only during the very early expansion of the Universe known as the Planck Epoch, which existed up to 10 to the negative 43rd seconds after the Big Bang, where the four fundamental forces ? electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and gravitation ? all had the same strength. After that point the energy level decreased and gravity separated from the other 3 fundamental forces and with the condensation of matter into the elementary particles (quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons) formed the so-called Standard Model of today?s Universe. These facts, while available, are de-emphasized by the capitalist dictatorship propaganda machine with the false claim that ?no one?not even Einstein?has been able formulate the Grand Unified Theory? in order to try to open the door to fraudulent ?string theory.? The 1998 report that neutrinos have mass was blipped in the media and then neutrino research was de-funded worldwide and thereafter suppressed for a period of time. Wonder why?? It is time to employ some inductive reasoning, which is in fact scientific reasoning. (Note: n order to understand the relationship of the 4 primary forces which exist in the universe: the typical field strength of the strong nuclear force is 100 times the strength of the electromagnetic force, approximately 1013 times as great as that of the weak nuclear force, and about 1038 times that of gravitation.)

The Big Crunch will arrive on schedule and another Universe will begin! Einstein once said that a theory of the Universe should be both simple and elegant. He would definitely be rolling over in his grave if he were made aware of today?s totally contrived ?science? especially the attempt by these fakers to re-introduce his fudge factor, the so-called ?cosmological constant,? which Einstein invented/fabricated to allow for a static solution to his equations and a static Universe, which he was later forced to admit was false after the discovery of the Redshift by Edwin Hubble, which occurs when light or any type of electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies shifts toward longer wavelengths, the less energetic part of the spectrum, due to the Doppler effect, thus indicating that those galaxies are moving away from our galaxy, the Milky Way (and vice versa) and that the Universe is (still) expanding (while it is also simultaneously contracting on another level?see below). (The Redshift in light from receding galaxies is proportional to their distance from Earth. That is Hubble?s Law.)

The false assumption of a static Universe had prevented Einstein from predicting that the Universe was expanding. Einstein admitted that the ?cosmological constant? was his ?biggest blunder.? (In December 1930 Einstein went to Cal Tech on a visiting professorship where he worked with Edwin Hubble and reportedly also apologized for his error.) In 1998 the U.S. so-called ?intelligence community,? directed their fleet of fake ?cosmologists? and some opportunist and duped astrophysicists to try to pass off Einstein?s fraudulent cosmological constant as the entirely fictitious and admittedly totally unexplained so-called ?dark energy,? (!) AKA ?quintessence, ? which is supposedly responsible for a supposed ?speeding up of the rate of expansion of the Universe,? which is NOT in fact actually occurring. This rubbish has even been forced into advanced textbooks in astrophysics as good coin. The reason for these wholesale falsifications of astrophysics is due to the capitalists? desperation to establish a false basis to claim that the Universe supposedly had a single creation and that it will expand infinitely rather than collapse once again in the Big Crunch completing another cycle in an infinite number. The U.S. governments? position more easily allows for the existence of a ?god? as ?the creator.?

The reason that the capitalists have formed an alliance with religion is that the capitalists depend on religion, belief in god and the supernatural as important weapons of deception directed against the masses! This also helps explain the appearance of fraudulent so-called ?string theory? which postulates multiple Universes, eleven dimensions, rather than the 4 dimensions which actually do measurably exist. Stephen Hawking the ego-tripping, media-hyped ?cosmologist? also postulated supposed ?wormholes from one Universe to another? as well as supposed ?wormholes? from one end of our Universe to the other to permit time travel ?faster than the speed of light? (both of which are completely refuted by Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle. While Hawking retreated on being so reminded, Heisenberg is brazenly ignored by other professional police-agent propagandists who are committed to such Big Lies of confusion such as the New York Times? despicable Dennis Overbye (Oy!), Brian Greene and WBAI?s and CUNY?s huckster Michio Kaku, who incidentally also covers up the fact that AIDS is Biowarfare by the U.S. Government Against Blacks and Gays primarily and tries to confuse his trusting, credulous listeners (and even students!) on innumerable other issues.

The bottom line is that the capitalists want the masses to believe in a god?any god?even though there is no scientific basis whatsoever to support belief in a god (precisely the opposite)?because, to the extent that they believe in god, those who do believe in god believe that what happens in the world, including both natural events and political events, happens according to god?s will! The reality is that natural events occur due to the natural laws of science, physics and evolution, and what happens in world political events is due primarily to the decisions and actions of the U.S.-led world capitalist dictatorship, which still dominates world events! In the mind of the believer, god and the capitalist dictatorship?the capitalist government?become one! The capitalist government becomes god in the mind of the believer! This is pretty strong stuff and is what Karl Marx meant when he described religion as the opiate of the masses. Such false belief patterns of believers in god blunt the thrust for revolutionary change. Revolutionary change requires an absolutely scientific, objective and logical analysis of political events, political contradiction and political history, in order to learn how to carry out effective social change, meaning Socialist Revolution here in the United States and worldwide!

Michio Kaku and the So-Called ?History Channel? Establishment Cover Up the Fact that
Einstein?s First 3 Papers in 1905 Were a Collaborative Effort With His Wife, Mileva Maric!

It should be mentioned that Michio Kaku and several others in typical sexist fashion in a 2-hour report on Albert Einstein on the so-called ?History Channel? covered up through omission the irrefutable fact that Einstein?s wife Mileva Maric made substantial contributions to Einstein?s first 3 papers in 1905, his miracle year, and that her name was on all 3 papers which were first submitted according to the Russian scientist, Abraham Joffe, who saw the signatures of both Einstein and Mileva Einstein-Marity (Marity is a Serbian form of Maric) on the original copies of the those papers. Maric?s name was later removed from all the originals to hide her contributions in keeping with the sexism of that time when women could not even vote and were deemed to be mere chattels. Mileva Maric?s contributions are specifically mentioned in 13 of the 43 of Einstein?s love letters to Maric, those which were not destroyed. Thirteen of those letters contained statements which referred to her research or to their ongoing collaborative effort. The most likely reason for the destruction of the other letters was of course to hide the fact that those 3 historic 1905 papers were in fact a collaborative effort. See: LINK and LINK as well as a very determined and disparaging attack of Mileva Maric at: LINK which nevertheless is refuted by the actual facts. Later in 1914 when they moved to Berlin, and after Einstein had had his macho ego pumped up through the roof by Max Planck and others, Einstein actually tried to get Mileva to sign an onerous document, apparently a provocation designed to drive her away, which was rejected by Maric, which would have reduced her to a virtual slave in her own house! Kaku and the other ?experts? of the establishment also cover up the fact that Einstein initially lacked the mathematics to formulate the General Theory of Relativity. Einstein had to be tutored in differential geometry for over a year by his longtime friend and colleague Marcel Grossman, who had attended the classes which Einstein had skipped, before he was able to formulate the mathematical proof of the General Theory of Relativity. The bottom line here is that Einstein was an intuitive astrophysicist, not an experimental astrophysicist and as such would undoubtedly have needed and benefited enormously from the relationship he had with his physicist wife, Mileva Maric, to confirm his ideas and to hear alternative points of view which the surviving letters from Einstein to Mileva indicate he incorporated into his first 3 papers from 1905. Einstein was not a god and had help all along the way.



The Fact that Einstein?s Brain Was Structurally Different Helped
But Was Not Determinative in his Contributions to Theoretical Physics!

The 1985 study of Einstein?s brain by Marian C. Diamond reveal that Einstein had more glial cells relative to neurons only in the left inferior parietal area, Brodmann?s area 39, where the difference was statistically significant. The parietal lobes of the brain form the association area of the brain. In this area Einstein possessed a significantly greater number of both astrocytes and oligodendroglia (oligodendrocytes) glial cells. Glial cells provide support and nutrition to the neurons, the brain cells?the grey matter. The number of glial cells increases with age given a normal blood circulation and increases up the evolutionary ladder. Astrocytes are the most numerous glial cells and fill the space between neurons by enveloping synaptic junctions in the brain, thereby restricting the amount of neurotransmitter molecules which have been released. Astrocytes have special proteins in their membranes which actively remove neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft. In addition, Astrocytes also possess neurotransmitter receptors just like nerve cells, which allow them to most efficiently coordinate their metabolism with the neurons. Astrocytes also absorb extra-cellular potassium ions which build up as the result of neuronal metabolism, as well as absorbing other substances which can interfere with nerve cell function. They cushion the brain and permit a more complex brain structure as their numbers increase. Oligodendroglia cells, like Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, form myelin layers around the neuronal axons (fibers) which insulates the neuronal axons in the brain, and thereby participate in neuronal signal transmission. Larger numbers of glial cells supply more energy for neural circuits. Microglia, which function as phagocytes to remove the debris of dead or degenerating nerve cells and glial cells, were not included in the study. Supposed criticism of Diamond?s study, namely that Diamond and a colleague had previously discovered that a rat in an enriched environment developed more glial cells in each neuron than its counterpart in an impoverished area is totally irrelevant to her findings in Einstein?s brain.

Einstein?s Association Area Was 15% Larger Than Normal

The left inferior parietal cortex is part of the association area which was 15% larger in Einstein? brain due to the fact that Einstein?s brain lacked a complete Sylvian (lateral) fissure, which in Einstein?s brain did not extend posteriorly past the horizontal Central Sulcus of Rolando, which in all brains separates the frontal cortex from the parietal association area. Normal extension of the Sylvian fissure posterior to this point separates the temporal and parietal lobes of the brain. The lack of the Sylvian fissure in Einstein?s brain significantly expanded his parietal association area, while decreasing the size of the temporal lobe involved with speech: Einstein did not speak until he was 3 years old and had difficulty forming sentences. (The inferior parietal region is responsible for mathematical thought, visuospatial cognition, and imagery of movement.)

The glial study was performed by Marian C. Diamond at the University of California (Experimental Neurology, Vol. 88, pages 198-204 (1985). The gross study of Einstein?s brain was only published in 1999 (!) in the Lancet, Volume 353, Issue 9170, Pages 2149 - 2153, 19 June 1999. In addition, this citation and all the authors: Sandra F. Witelson, Debra L. Kigar and Thomas Harvey are censored by Medline, Pub Med, etc. This article is not listed under any of the authors of the study and Internet search engines deliberately misdirect people to a letter in the Lancet which appeared only many months later: The Lancet, Volume 354, Issue 9192, Page 1822, 20 November 1999. The reason that these studies were published so long after Einstein?s death in 1955 was because his brain was so completely different in appearance lacking the posterior extension of the Sylvian fissure. This had NEVER ever been reported in anatomical studies in all the annals of anatomical literature. Because of the fact that it was only 10 years after the end of World War II when Einstein died it was feared that release of the autopsy findings of Einstein?s brain at that time would provide a further basis for anti-Semitism, with the cry going out that ?Jews are not like other humans! They are aliens! Look at Einstein?s brain! It?s not the same as other people!? While it is true that Einstein may have had an advantage by his brain anatomy both at the histological and gross levels, it is very unlikely that he would have made his contributions without the input of Mileva Maric his fellow-astrophysicist wife and Marcel Grossman as documented above.

The Gutkind Letter Documents that Einstein was an Atheist!
Einstein?s Response to Strong Criticism by Soviet Scientists
Documents that by May 1949 Einstein was a Communist!

Einstein revealed very clearly and in no uncertain terms he was an atheist in his January 3, 1954 letter to Eric Gutkind, the Jewish philosopher, who had sent him a copy of his book Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt. The article was sold for $404,000 at auction on May 15, 2008 by Bloomsbury Auctions in London and the relevant text was published in the British Guardian on May 13, 2008, and also in the New York Times on May 17, 2008. The published section states:

... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything ?chosen? about them.
In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the privilege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e. in our evalutations [sic] of human behaviour. What separates us are only intellectual ?props? and ?rationalization? in Freud?s language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.
With friendly thanks and best wishes
Yours, A. Einstein.

Many attempts have been made to falsely portray Einstein as someone who believed in god. The capitalist dictatorship media propagandists, and most recently especially the discredited professional liar Dennis Overbye, have been foremost in this effort. Even in the above-mentioned article in the New York Times Overbye tried to falsely attribute a belief by Einstein in ?a personal god,? falsely stating that Einstein had said that he was ?an agnostic? and ?not an atheist.? This is entirely false! Einstein made no such statements and also never made the statement falsely attributed to him: ?Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.? While Einstein?s did remark that ?God does not play dice with the Universe? in response to Heisenberg?s Uncertainty Principle, formulated by Heisenberg in March 1926, Einstein undoubtedly made that remark while his ideas on religion were still in formation. Einstein developed into an atheist and a Communist (Materialist). This is fully documented by Einstein?s own writings.

In response to Einstein?s attempt to develop a theory of ?One world Government? using the United Nations as a basis, Soviet scientists, Seigei Vavilov, A.N. Frumkin, A.F. Joffe and N.N. Semyonov wrote an Open letter in the Moscow New Times, November 26, 1947, criticizing ?Dr. Einstein?s Mistaken Notions,? where they clearly explained that such a ?one world government? would be simply a means by which all countries would submit to U.S. capitalist dictatorship. Einstein reacted to the very solid criticism by immediately writing a rejoinder to his Soviet colleagues entitled ?A Reply to the Soviet Scientists? published in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, February 1948, where he lamely tried to defend his ideas and the United States. But by May 1949 Einstein had clearly done some thinking and completely reversed course! Einstein wrote: ?Why Socialism? published in the Monthly Review, New York, (May, 1949) where he solidly backed socialism and the Russian Revolution! Einstein finally showed that he understood that capitalism cannot be turned into socialism and that a Socialist Revolution is necessary to create the change he envisioned. ?Why Socialism? demonstrated that Einstein had begun to read Karl Marx, but unfortunately not Friedrich Engels? Socialism: Utopian and Scientific or the works of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin), the architect and leader of the 1917 Russian Revolution, whose writings in The State and Revolution supplied most but not all of the answers to the practical questions Einstein raises at the end of the essay with regard to the Soviet Union: namely the problem of the bureaucracy. (See below for a brief explanation of this crucial problem and Analysis and Theses by this writer, of which this Materialist Analysis of Theoretical Astrophysics is only a small section, for a thorough consideration of the problems raised by Einstein and others.) No wonder Einstein was spied upon by J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI and no wonder Einstein was not permitted access to the Manhattan Project where the atomic bomb was developed, a project which he and Leo Szilard initiated with their August 2, 1939 letter to Franklin Delano Roosevelt recommending the building of an atomic bomb before the NAZIs did. All of the above-mentioned documents except the Einstein/Szilard letter are available in ?Albert Einstein: Out of My Later Years? Revised Reprint Edition, Citadel Press, Secaucus, New Jersey 1956 and 1979.

The Question of the Soviet Bureaucracy under ?Socialism? or ?Communism.?

Einstein and all people want to know how to achieve a planned global economy based on human need not private profit. How do we limit or even abolish the bureaucracy? We first have to examine the real World View: Today we live in a world of nation states. All nation states are dictatorships of one class over another class, either the capitalist class over the working class or vice versa. (These are the only historically destined classes.) There is no ?democracy? at the present time, not even for the capitalists. Capitalism has a dynamic of its own independent of the wills of the actual capitalists and capitalist politicians. (See above.) Communism is a stateless society, which has never been practiced and can never be practiced until capitalism is abolished worldwide beginning with a Socialist Revolution in its center?the United States. Within the framework of the class dictatorship there can either be a hard or a soft dictatorship. The hard dictatorship of capitalism is known as Fascism, which has several historical variants. Today the United States is a military, bureaucratic police state, known as Rule by Decree (a form of Bonapartism), a step short of Fascism, which requires the organized support of the petit-bourgeoisie (the middle class), the organization of armed gangs with specifically targeted scapegoats. The U.S. leaders are Fascists because they continually work to support the hardening capitalist dictatorship.

All Workers? States are hard dictatorships in order to prevent internal and external attempts to restore capitalism. Stalin was not actually a Communist by practice. Stalin murdered Lenin and virtually all of the leaders of the Russian Revolution and thereafter rode the back of the Socialist Revolution and drew all his power from it and was compelled to defend it, but only to the extent necessary to keep himself in power. The class dictatorship which existed in the USSR was partly necessary in a world where capitalism was waging a continuous war against it and arose because of that existing global class war, but the dictatorship in the USSR was obviously unnecessarily overdone by Joseph Stalin and his political descendants. Even Lenin in his writings did not consider the reality that capitalism must be overthrown in its center, the United States before actual socialism and Communism can be achieved. In The State and Revolution Lenin describes how the bureaucracy is eliminated by direct election and immediate recall. But capitalism must be overthrown in its center before that is possible. At that point of overthrow of the capitalist dictatorship and the expropriation of all of their stolen wealth (the wealth of goods and services created by the Working Class) true democracy will finally exist. There will be no basis for the continued existence of the state which will begin to wither away, as explained in detail by Friedrich Engels in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Today that point is potentially closer than ever before despite the present widespread demoralization and brainwashing of the masses under capitalism. Please see previous analyses of this writer for the detailed explanation of the 1988 Soviet Surrender to the Threat of a Nuclear War (There was no ?Collapse of the USSR?) and how the Socialist Revolution should be organized and carried out in the United States. Capitalism offers a world with no future and now threatens the existence of all life on Earth.

The Scientific Basis of Atheism:
The Origin of Matter is an Unknowable!

The capitalist dictatorship would have the masses believe that there is no limit on humankind?s knowledge, that everything is knowable and that everything was created by ?god.? But this is false; there is a limit on knowledge and there is no god. Because of the fact that we exist as part of the Universe we can not exit the Universe, stand outside it and declare that a god, much larger than we are naturally but of course in our own image, who naturally is usually white and always male, never female, created the Universe. The corollary is that the origin of matter is an unknowable! The false claim of supposed ?wormholes? by the string theorists of course is a way to try to condition peoples? minds to believe that they can do the opposite and exit the Universe, and is designed to set up the belief patterns for belief in god. (And while you?re at it, after you have exited the Universe don?t forget to check out ?god,? he?s right over there. Right near that wormhole you just crawled out of!) Modern science has answered virtually all questions except one: the origin of matter. This is an unknowable. What is knowable is the cyclic nature of the Universe and the evolution of life, which is inevitable given basic necessary conditions. See above. Today religion and ?god? continue to be invoked by the capitalist dictatorship to explain both the origin of life, matter and the existence of the Universe, rather than simply agreeing that certain things are unknowable. The reason is that the capitalist dictatorship uses religion to control the masses is explained above.

The original basis for belief in god (multiple gods initially) and religion was due to humankind?s inability to explain natural events and life itself. Primitive society had to have an explanation for what could not yet be explained scientifically. The philosophy of antiquity was primitive, spontaneously evolved materialism (Engels), which found its expression in polytheism where various gods were invented in the minds of primitive peoples, which were thought to control different areas of life: There was a sun god, a moon god, a weather god(s) thought to control rain, thunder and lightning, a god for earthquakes, a god of the seas, a god for day, a god for night and in some societies a god to control almost every aspect of life. Polytheism however was incapable of clearing up the relation between mind and matter. As Engels explains: ?the need to get clarity on this question led to the doctrine of a soul separable from the body, then to the assertion of the immortality of this soul, and finally to monotheism.? As humankind?s thought gradually advanced and natural events acquired scientific explanations, polytheism gave way to monotheism. The old materialism was therefore negated by idealism. But in the course of the further development of philosophy, idealism, too, has become untenable in a practical sense and has been negated by modern Dialectical and Historical Materialism, presently tightly suppressed by the capitalist dictatorship.

Prior to the development of modern materialism, which serves as the basis for this analysis, and existing simultaneously with its development, organized religion formed pacts with the existing power structures, pacts which have spanned the entire sequence of civilization from the primitive slave societies of Egypt, Greece and Rome to the feudalism-based monarchies of Europe to today?s rapidly hardening war-based capitalist dictatorship. When the French Monarchy and the nobility were overthrown in the French Revolution the Catholic Church was first rejected as a competing center of power but then embraced as indispensable by the emerging bourgeoisie, which emerged victorious under Napoleon Bonaparte when it became clear that the peasantry, which had carried out the revolution could not organize or wield power. The bourgeoisie quickly realized that religion was necessary to control the masses as under the Monarchy and signed the Concordat of 1801 that reestablished the Catholic Church in France but with reduced influence. This has continued into the modern day where the capitalist dictatorship uses the belief in god and religion to blunt the thrust for revolutionary change as explained above. NAZI Germany also signed the Reichskonkordat in 1933 with the Catholic Church and similar agreements with the protestant churches in Germany, which were an important step in international acceptance of the NAZIs. Today the capitalists work overtime to keep alive the belief in a ?supreme being,? taking advantage of man?s arrogance and insistence to be able to explain everything. As mentioned above humankind cannot exit the Universe and is limited in this way. In the same way the origin of matter is also thus unknowable. The scientific basis of atheism includes but is not limited to the knowledge of the Special Theory of Relativity, The General Theory of Relativity, The Theory of Quantum Mechanics, the Big Bang/Big Crunch Cycle of the Universe, the origin of life through the Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey and Darwin?s Theory of Evolution Through Natural Selection. This scientific basis of life and the Universe does not hold a place for a god. The capitalists? propagandists try to keep the false idea of a god alive by claiming that science and religion are not incompatible. But they are incompatible! There is no scientific basis for belief in a god and the religious Fascists know it very well. That is why they wage a continuous never-ending battle against science in the classroom. The capitalists also front large organizations such as the John Templeton Foundation and the Stanford Templeton Research Institute for Nature, God and Science (STRINGS!) to try to reconcile religion and belief in god. Good grief! Don?t be fooled for a second!

Religious superstition can play no constructive role in either genuinely progressive thought or the process of organizing a Socialist Revolution in the United States. On the other hand the Socialist Revolution, while it does not support religion, permits no crushing of any religion nor does it not pit one religion against another as the capitalists do routinely as part of their strategy of divide and conquer. This is what the capitalists are doing in Iraq right now as part of their strategy of divide and conquer. The future of religion will be determined by an open long-term debate over time in a revolutionary evolving society and the strength of scientific evidence in addition to the polemics carried out by proponents of all religions as well as the proponents of atheism and Dialectical and Historical Materialism.

NOTE: the following paragraphs precede the above paragraphs in the entire piece about Global Warming and are in the proper order as they appear in the Analysis and Theses.

The Runaway Greenhouse Effect has already occurred on Venus where all the CO2 is found in the 932 degrees Fahrenheit (500 degrees Centigrade) atmosphere. The water in the oceans of Venus, which were nearly the size of the oceans on Earth, all evaporated away very early because of the heat generated by the Runaway Greenhouse Effect caused by the fact that Venus receives 30% more sunlight than the Earth. The evaporating oceans finally boiled away completely after the temperature reached a measly 212 degrees Fahrenheit?on its way to the present 932 degrees Fahrenheit. Once in the upper atmosphere ultraviolet radiation from the sun split the H20 apart into hydrogen, which disappeared into space and oxygen, which reacted with minerals on the surface and also disappeared from the atmosphere. The Evolution of Life is what prevented a Runaway Greenhouse Effect from occurring on Earth as it did on Venus! Life did not evolve on Venus, with the consequence that there was no plant and animal life to absorb the gradual build-up of CO2 from volcanoes, which eventually formed the thick atmosphere which exists on Venus today composed primarily of CO2 (96.5%) with the remainder nitrogen (3.5%) and other minor components expressed in a few parts per million, plus a sulfuric acid cloud deck beginning at about 50 kilometers above the surface. On Earth the CO2 which was released into the atmosphere through volcanoes went into evolving vegetation and then animal life, which over hundreds of millions of years became deposited in the crust of the Earth as the fossil fuels coal and oil. There is no carbon found in the crust of Venus. That is how we know that life did not evolve on Venus! Today the frenzied burning of those fossil fuels here on Earth has resulted in having the huge amount of CO2 stored in them being released all at once into the atmosphere. The Earth?s carbon sinks, the Earth?s natural storage mechanisms for CO2?the rain forests other vegetation and the oceans?have a limit and are now being overwhelmed. As occurred on Venus billions of years ago, that process now appears to have reached the stage of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect here on Earth. Without a Socialist Revolution here in the United States, which is the only possible way to still reverse that process, the situation on Venus today is the future of the Earth in the not so distant future. We are presently experiencing the beginning of that future. Life on Earth will become totally unlivable far before we arrive at the situation existing on Venus today.

The temperature on Earth does not have to rise very much to destroy all life. This is the reality which fake ?opposition? figures such as James Hansen and Al Gore and Steven Chu deliberately hide, while they attempt to control the issue and lead it to defeat. (See below.) In the 1951 science fiction/political film, The Day The Earth Stood Still, the Earth was visited by people in a flying saucer from a more advanced civilization which delivered an ultimatum at the end: ?It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned out cinder. Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.? The result of Earth being reduced to a burned out cinder is clearly not limited to war and peace or even nuclear war. Although it goes without saying that capitalism-imperialism, due to its internal dynamic as explained herein, automatically extends violence everywhere and even to outer space with its Star Wars Program, etc. (which has thankfully not yet been realized in practice), capitalism has also extended its maximum violence to the environment. The environmental reality, not science fiction, is that with the onset of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect the Earth is now on course to become a burned out cinder like Venus! Only a Socialist Revolution can avert this catastrophe! It is our right and it is our duty, according to The Declaration of Independence, to avert this catastrophe by ending the capitalist dictatorship in the United States through a Socialist Revolution.

The falsely labeled ?Archaea? bacteria, tube worms, which have evolved to live at temperatures of up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the hyperthermophilic bacteria, which have evolved to live at water temperatures of up to 239 degrees Fahrenheit will be the last life on Earth because of their ability to live at high temperatures.. (Incidentally, ?Archaea? was falsely so-labeled in order to spread confusion in science and to try to undermine in one blow both Darwin?s Theory of Evolution and the irrefutable Primordial Soup Theory of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey of 1953, who demonstrated that the basic building blocks of life; amino acids, purines, pyrimidines and carboxylic acids can all be produced by running electrical sparks simulating lightning through the most-likely original reducing atmosphere of Earth composed of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor or steam. Later experiments by Miller demonstrated that the precise atmospheric mixture was not as important as the fact that it be a reducing atmosphere, meaning that it must contain NO oxygen, because the compounds necessary for life, namely amino acids, purines and pyrimidines and carboxylic acids (required for the synthesis of lipids) cannot be produced in an oxidizing atmosphere! In addition, it has been reported that Jeffrey L. Bada, who had been a graduate student of Stanley Miller and Adam P. Johnson a graduate student at Indiana University visiting Bada?s laboratory on an internship, working with co-workers, have discovered 22 amino acids in the original samples from the Stanley Miller-Urey experiments, including 10 that had not been previously reported. (The Miller Volcanic Spark Discharge Experiment, Adam P. Johnson, Daniel P. Glavin, Antonio Lazcano and Jeffrey L. Bada, Science, 17, October 2008. page 404, Vol. 322, no. 5900, DOI: 10.1126 science. 1161527). See also The New York Times, October 17, 2008. In a 1996 interview Stanley Miller also revealed that he had been able to produce pyridines and purines by creating more concentrated pre-biotic "dry beach" conditions, which would have been present in lakes lagoons and beaches on the primitive Earth. From that point everything is very clear. Self-replicating RNA molecules are well known today and have been extensively studied and described in the major media and peer review journals. And DNA clearly evolved from RNA. There is no credible dispute.

In 1969 a carbonaceous meteorite fell in Murchison Australia which had a high concentrations of amino acids, about 100 ppm, found in the same pre-biotic experiments of Stanley Miller, proving that the early evolution of life is a constant which occurs throughout the universe given certain favorable conditions, NOT that life came to Earth from comets or asteroids from elsewhere?so called ?Theory of Panspermia,? which is also fraudulently being passed off as a ?theory of life.? Cosmic rays and the heat of entry into Earth?s atmosphere would have destroyed all life potentially surviving the near absolute zero temperature of interstellar or interplanetary space. The goal of these determined and deliberate falsifiers is to keep the masses confused on as many scientific matters and political matters as possible. Because a confused person cannot act! False analysis of one issue leads in turn to false analysis of another. In such a situation the masses are much more likely to think what they are told to think and to do what they are told to do by the capitalist dictatorship. Since 1969 incidentally numerous carbonaceous meteorites have revealed the presence of amino acids.

Among the more recent false claims of evolution of life is the truly ridiculous claim that life supposedly ?evolved at submarine vents? formed under the oceans where tectonic plates meet, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. But it is a fact that submarine vents don't make organic compounds, they decompose them! These vents are one of the limiting factors on what organic compounds would exist in the primitive oceans. At the present time, the entire ocean goes through those vents in 10 million years. So all of the organic compounds are destroyed every ten million years. That places a constraint on how much organic material could accumulate. In addition, it also provides a time scale for the origin of life. If all the polymers and other compounds that evolve are continuously destroyed that means life would have to start early and rapidly. Looking at the process in detail, it is clear that long periods of time would be detrimental, rather than helpful to this fraudulent, totally contrived and deliberately misleading so-called ?theory? of the origin of life which was created, among other reactionary reasons (see below), in order to provide a false pretext for NASA to carry out extremely costly and entirely unnecessary and useless space ventures using the primitive form of space travel, rocketry, to outlying planetary satellites under the false pretext of ?searching for life,? wherever there might be water (!) discovered by spectral analysis for example, in order to keep their jobs and obtain continued government funding and to serve as yet one more pretext to divert money from social spending. This is further proof of the almost entirely one-way dynamic of capitalism to Fascism, barbarism and finally the end of civilization; and now with the advent of the Runaway Greenhouse Effect, the end of all life on Earth.

I'm surprised by how little mention Panda's Thumb has gotten, which could explain why so many biologists are embarrassingly clueless about the current state of creation science infiltration into schools (both public and private), and politics (which certainly does affect you herr Professor). When Ben Stein's movie comes out in February the doo-doo (what the movie is composed of) will hit the fan. The creation science/intelligent design campaigns have been extrodinarily effective. If you think this isn't going to effect your work you're patently insane. No, you don't know everything you need to know about creation science.

The site relates to Grace Filby's quest to bring phage therapy into general use in the UK in the face of apathy, ignorance and "super-bug" spread. It is a tale of pragmatic human endeavour against the odds. It needs and deserves much wider publicity.

Dr Steven Novella's blog is the best science blog I read!

These guys all rule. Dr. Novella's blog in particular is really excellent - a great combo of science and skepticism pitched at a good level for interested non-scientists.

Thorough assessment of (lack of) evidence for CAM treatments and focus on honesty in the doctor-patient relationship.

Articles thoroughly evaluating the evidence for medical conditions and treatments as well as various scientific theories. Excellent models of critical evaluation of any information.

Dr. Stephen Novella's Neurologica blog is a powerhouse collection of essays ranging across the fields of neurology, biology, alternative medicine, pseudoscience, and what goes into -- and comes out of -- the scientific method. He writes with wit, style, and clarity, and can make even a complicated subject understandable to non-scientists such as myself.

Clever and topical discussions of life in the lab, liberally laced with wit. Highly recommended

My favorite science writer is cash,
who finds funny ways to talk about science.
Cash is like me except funnier, less inhibited, conservative and I think he actually understands math and science. Other than that we're twins.

Hank manages to combine analytical and mathematical approach to is articles about daily issues, like climate change for example. The result usually makes the reader to think about the issue from different perspective with new information.

At scientificblogging there are often interesting scientific articles, from different categories and World wide.

Seeding to social sites is made easy.

Pasi Hakkarainen, Finland

Adaptive Complexity by Mike White is a very interesting blog. Most of the science blogs I read are news. White writes some really interesting stuff. His column gets my vote

I think it touches on a demographic that several scientist have looked over. It is specifically designed to get more urban people (i.e. black -and other minority- inner city teenagers) outside learning about nature.

I'm going to mix some opinion and some voting here.

First, people seem to not know that LIFE SCIENCE does NOT include things like Astronomy and Math. Not really. Not yet. Some great blogs are being suggested, but they are not Life Science.

Second, as much as I respect and like John Hawks and his blog, I am reluctant to count a web site that does not take comments as the same kind of beast. Is it a blog or not? Maybe. I don't wanna talk about it. But I'm going to leave John's site off for consideration although it is really fantastic for this reason.

Third, I think there are many reasons why a blog may be good, and one of them is because of all of the babbling that goes on on many blogs, by both the blogger and the readers. Babbling blogs are great, they are the best. But a "Life Science Blog" should be evaluated for its substantive material regarding Life Science, not the level and interest of the babbling about ... whatever.

Fourth, if we are going to be thinking about the substantive component of the blog, then you've gotta have a name. I don't care if the blogger has zero formal education or lots, or what their original field was, etc. etc., ... the substantive material can be evaluated on its own. But anonymous? Sorry, you've got to take responsibility for what you are doing. If you need to have anonimity because "they" are out to "get" you, then have two blogs, one with a funny fake name the other with your real name, and put your substantive commentary on the real name blog.

I could easily be talked out of most of these criteria, but I thought this would be a good moment to get a couple of points across.

Here, then, are my sugggestions:

Fish Feet by Sarda Sahney of Bristol:
LINK

Sandwalk by Larry Moran
LINK


Laelaps by Brian Switek
LINK

Pharyngula by PZ Myers
LINK

I would like to nominate Fish Feet for best Popular Science Blog.
Colourful, interesting and full of appeal for the general public, Fish Feet is fabulous!!

Great substantive material and excellent writing at both these sites:

Evolution ... not just a theory any more (Greg Laden) at www.gregladen.com

and

Laelaps at Laelaps.wordpress.com

The two blogs i think provide a wide variety of very relevant links, information and opinions are the Resilience Science Blog (LINK and the Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog (LINK Heartily recommended.

He keeps his entries concise while providing appropriate links for detailed information. I also enjoy his occasional quip and somewhat personal entries.

Ed Yong at LINK">Not Exactly Rocket Science publishes well-written analyses of science news that explain why it matters to all of us.

This blog is posted by The Urban Scientist to promote science literacy and quality science education. Clearly this person has a lot of knowledge about science, and the comments on social and civic justice are interesting at times. This person is definately working through some perceived biases and it is interesting to see the process.

This site is specifically designed to get more urban people (i.e. minority inner city teenagers) outside learning about nature. It is easy for my girls to read and they like the information. It also offers some great debates about social issues and teaching science in innercity schools

This blog covers in an admirable, entertaining and well-informed manner the subject of agricultural biodiversity (ABD), from its relevance to 'A'rchaeology to 'W'ild relatives. To my knowledge there is no other blog dealing with ABD, which is hugely important to human welfare and a grossly neglected segment of overall biodiversity.

As a non-medical person, this blog is extremely informative and educational about medicine, science and pseudoscience. This is definitely my favorite science blog.

A good blog on the subjects of Environment, Animal, Plant and Life Sciences is:

LINK" target="_blank" >Hand Picked...and Carefully Sorted

By a long way it is the most readable, thorough, provocative and interesting Blog out there.

Count me in on Neurologica. And NOT only because they kindly asked to plug them here. ;-) I am *extremely* impressed by how Steven Novella maintains such an astronomical high standard for a blog of such frequency. Novella is an excellent writer and public speaker (cfr his Skeptical Guide to the Universe podcasts), and in my opinion he is unmatched in communicating the essence of the scientific and skeptical mindset to the layman public. Each of his posts is a well-rounded exercise in clarity, comprehensiveness and balance. No loose ends, no skipped opportunities. Intellectual honesty and a passion for the truth, no matter what it is, is shining through all his pieces. Add to this the effectiveness of his calm and composed approach to surgically dismantle nonsense claims, until absolutely nothing of substance is left. You gotta love it.

I am truely grateful that he chooses to share his vast experience in skepticism, alternative medicine and neurology with us. If only we would have more bright people like him on popular TV shows...

My favorite, by far, is Tetrapod Zoology, by Darren Naish: No Tetrapod Too Small.

LINK">Tetrapod Zoology is definitely the one blog I read regularly. Fantastic breadth, writing, and scholarship.

My vote goes to LINK

LINK">Longevity Science Blog
at
LINK">LINK
This Scientific Blog represents research efforts aimed to understand the mechanisms of aging and longevity in order to extend healthy and productive human lifespan

When tracking the latest attacks on evolution, I can always depend on PZ Myers' Pharyngula to provide a well-analyzed and well-written discussion. And I enjoy his commentary!

I agree with Solomon Rivlin. "Adventures in Ethics and Science" with Dr. Free-ride is educational, well written and fun. It should be included I would also add "Cocktail Party Physics" to the list. Where else could you find "Talk Like a Physicist Day" and recipes for such drinks as "Listening to the Drums of Feynman" and "Mad Scientist"?

active, witty, and diverse

Brilliant and informative. I really appreciate the effort Dr. Novella
makes to promote scepticism and science. Truly a light of reason in our times.

"... in the hope that with more traffic donations will keep Darren from having to sit by the road with a sign saying 'Will Identify Roadkill for Food'"

Seriously, this is an incredibly informative and well written blog. Definitely a daily visit ("Damn, he still hasn't updated...")

LINK

Tetrapod Zoology LINK is truely wonderful. Informative, fun and always interesting. A mix of palaeontology, modern biology (all tetrapods catered for, with frequent postings on mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) and with a bit of cryptozoology thrown in for good measure.

The problem I have with some blogs (inlcuding some of those that quite a few have voted for here) is that some of the bloggers seem to treat it just as a soap box for their own opinions (and one or two do seem rather conceited and over opinionated) whereas Darren Naish ensures Tet Zoo does not seem that way at all. If you haven't seen it (why not?) get there now, it is really excellent. First thing I do when i log on in the morning is check Tet Zoo, and the only time it disappoints is when nothing new has been posted.

Matt Bille's Sci-Tech Blog LINK is also rather good and a source of things often missed.

I was going to list a couple of my least favourites as well, but I guess that wasn't the idea, and I am stunned to see that some people have actually voted for them! A well we all have different tastes.

Steven Novella's Neurologica consistently delivers informative, clear, concise and compelling information on the brain and the crazy ways people misuse theirs. Steve is a top-notch skeptic and rational thinker, and his debunking of pseudoscience and irrationality is not to be missed. An example is his recent thorough rebuttal to someone's "Ten Myths of Evolution." Two words: slam dunk.

LINK">Tetrapod Zoology

An eclectic and entertaining stew of taxonomy, evo- bio, paleontology,and more-- unique!

Educational, entertaining, inspiring.

LINK

Pharyngula is my favorite always something new. Expresses opinions and facts in a thoughtful and humorous way and PZ is my brother so I have to vote for him its the only science blog I read

I echo every positive comment I've read here about Dr. Steven Novella's Neurologica blog. I'm a long-time listener to his Skeptic's Guide to the Universe podcast and reader of its message board, and when he launched Neurologica I was thrilled (but not surprised, of course) to see him continue his calm, reasoned way of dealing with everything from science to pseudoscience to vicious ad-hominem attacks from trolls. In addition to all that, his science is -- what can one say? -- totally top-notch.

There are many other excellent science blogs, and they've all been mentioned here too. I'd like to vote for a lot of them; but if I was only voting for one, Neurologica would be the one.

Well my favourite science blog is LINK

It has a higher proportion of posts directly related to science than most, generally biology and the blogger is an excellent writer.

Here '''is''' my list, of course, it means I shouldn't work at night. :)

Dr. Novella's NeuroLogica Blog is outstanding!
Refreshing. Sharp. Educational.
My favorite on the web by far.

Pharyngula-PZ Myers
Scientia Natura-Shalini Sehkar
Evolution Blog-Jason Rosenhouse

Here are my list of bloggers who educate people in high quality, who want to change science or medicine, who try to make science/medicine more readable and understandable for laypeople. Scientists who I'm a big fan of...

* T. Ryan Gregory at Genomicron
* Alan Cann at MicrobiologyBytes
* Moheb Costandi at Neurophilosophy
* Larry Moren at Sandwalk
* Steve Murphy at The Gene Sherpa
* Blaine Bettinger at The Genetic Genealogist
* Jason Bobe at The Personal Genome

It's always a pleasure to read an expert who can write with clarity and communicate complex ideas about their area of expertise. Posts are generally longer than on the average science blogs I read and the tone more serious: there is no sense that the author has bashed something out for the sake of posting; everything is considered and worth taking the time to read as carefully as it has been written.

Urban Science Adventures! www.urban-science.blogspot.com

Size asks why we didn't ask any female science bloggers for their favorites. The subject has come up on a few blogs.

Actually, we did, as Simon Frantz explains in a comment on GrrlScientist's blog: LINK

Thanks for all your suggestions, and keep them coming!

This is my favourite blog because it explains how science works and how to spot bad science

informative, current, creative, multi-media, amusing, engaging and responsive, unusual but very relevant and poignant news and research findings that would otherwise go unnoticed in popular media

I posted my list of LINK">favorite science blogs on my blog (LINK">Sex, Genes & Evolution).

Orac's alternately terrifying and amusing blog regularly explodes the laughable "science-i-ness" of the steaming heaps of woo the "interweb" regularly serves up to the desperate, gullible, and the scientifically illiterate.

I love Genomicron because Ryan Gregory brings science to the general public but also offers something for fellow scientists. His reasoned responses to 'bad' science and science writing and the ignorance surrounding the evolution debate are excellent posts.

Funny, biting, intelligent commentary on science, religion and whatever else strikes her fancy. My 'must read' blog of the day.

Fishfeet (LINK by Sarda Sahney of Bristol University, is a fun, light-hearted look at current topics in evolution, palaeobiology and lots more.

The blogger calls himself/herself? the Urban Scientist. It is geared toward adults specifically adult minorities. Really integrates many sciences (ecology, psychology, sociology) well and provides some spirited conversations at times on his/her thoughts.

I am not much into science but reading this blog really makes it more interesting and helps me help my teens understand science and ecology in an urban theater. This author is intelligent, insightful is able to put science into "regular" people terms and is funny.

Consistently interesting blog for all things microbial.

My favorite blog is "Urban Science Adventures" and SES: Science, Education and Society unlike other science blogs that tend to focus on an audience who already like science its approach takes aim at science literacy toward inner-city youth which is at a deficit when it comes to science and math education. If we are going to compete with the world outside the United States, there needs to be a shift in pedagogy towards science for children in impoverished areas of inner cities.

Is there any Geography science blogs available?

I'm curious to know, why didn't The Scientist ask any women what their favorite blogs were? Certainly there are a lot of women working and blogging in life sciences whose insight is every bit as important as that of the authors chosen.

Other than that gross oversight, a nice idea for an article.

I stumbled on this treasure via the Skeptics Guide to the Universe site (which I also highly recommend). As a medic myself I find Dr Novella's combination of medicine, science and critical thinking instructive, entertaining and always worth my time. Keep it up Steve!

I suppose it's because of the consistency. Or perhaps the breadth. Or maybe the skeptical angles, the love of logical fallacies.

Guess I'm not sure, but Dr. Novella's blog for me remains the most assured and the most assuredly interesting.

I'd have to nominate Neurologica for best new science blog.

NeuroLogica blog by Steven Novella is my favourite (pardon my English spelling) because he addresses issues at a level that I can understand but I am still challenged. Dr Novella consistently takes the time to discuss topics from a strictly evidence based approach and spends very little time gossiping and name-calling. I never wanted to read blogs until I tried NeuroLogica; now I enjoy several others but if I could only pick one NeuroLogica would be it.

I first started reading Neurologica Blog after listening to the SGU podcast, and have been hooked ever since. Steve is the kind of critical thinker I aspire to be. The breadth of his knowledge is impressive, but what's truly amazing is the depth. He can articulate (and more importantly, explain) the subtleties of complex issues that most people aren't even aware of.

But the best thing is that he doesn't overstate his case. So often good skeptical thinkers damage their credibility by making weak or overreaching arguments against easy targets. Steve goes wherever the evidence and logic lead and not a step further. I highly recommend this blog to anyone who is looking to put science and medical news into proper context.

Carl Zimmer, baby yeah!

Neurologica, by Steven Novella, is delicious.

I am an Instructor teaching Physical Anthropology online for community colleges. John Hawks weblog has kept me up to date on the most debated issues in Paleoanthropology and Genetics. I cannot thank him enough for taking the time to communicate through his blog.

Pharyngula: LINK
Sandwalk: LINK
Evolgen: LINK

An awesome blog

I have a palaeo bias to my reading list:

Laelaps
LINK

Palaeoblog
LINK

Tetrapod Zoology
LINK

When Pigs Fly Returns
LINK

I'm gonna have to go with:

1. NeuroLogica
2. Pharyngula
3. Bad Astronomy

Those are the three I read every day.

In alphabetic order:

Although I do love to browse scienceblogs.com, there is only one blog that I read (several times) daily: NeuroLogica Blog by Dr. Steven Novella. This blog introduced me to skepticism and has successfully brought me into the world of critical thinking.

For easy-to-understand summaries and insight into cutting-edge medical research news, and especially for solid, well-thought skeptical analyses of paranormal claims, good and bad science, and just plain weirdness, Dr. Steven Novella's Neurologica blog (LINK is a real jewel.

There are too many to choose from, but my top three are probably

Pharyngula
Aetiology
The Intersection

All three are well-written and understandable, cover a variety of topics, and are frequently humorous as well. A very nice mix, though I often disagree with PZ...

My favorite is Steve Novella's Neurologicablog. As a long time member of the New England Skeptical Society, I have admired Steve's ability to clearly explain science and pseudoscience. I find that his blog is a great way to keep up with recent developments in this area.

Favorite science blog: Deep Sea News
LINK

It's the blog I could never find, so I made it myself: neuraldump.com

I have been reading this weblog for at least a couple of years now and it is always interesting and up to date. There are a lot of good links too. John Hawks has an open mind and gives a common sense interpretation of the latest events in Anthropology. For a long time, this field has been held hostage to the reputations of a few egotistical know-it-alls who couldn't bring themselves to reconsider their opinions. Now everything is changing. With new discoveries, fresh looks at old finds, and new blood in the field, Anthropology is becoming very exciting. I'm always at the edge of my seat, waiting for new insights and discoveries to our origins. As technology improves, our ability to inerpret finds in the field and the information buried in our genes will give us the power to solve this great mystery. It's a brand new ballgame.

Well, i was over at Dr. Steven Novella's NeuroLogica Blog and saw that he wanted some props for his mad science blogging skills. Uh, not mad science like Victor Frankenstein mad, i meant it as a compliment...

Anyways! I'm casting my vote for his blog. It's my favorite of the ones that i read. I'm also a fan of the SGU weekly podcast he and his skeptical rogues produce.

Keep fighting the good fight!

Without a doubt, NeuroLogica is my favourite science blog. Dr Steven Novella deftly covers not just general and neuroscience, but a wide range of subjects relating to critical thinking, skepticism, and science philosophy.

Always engaging, well-written and insightful, its my first stop when I go online. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Giles (UK)

I way dig Bad Astronomy and Neurologica. Way skeptical, way scientific, way cool.

Dr. Novella?s blog NeuroLogica is a brilliant display of critical thinking and scientific journalism. NeuroLogica is my absolute favorite blog because I am consistently amazed at the quality of both the informative writing and rhetoric that he uses that makes every subject he discusses absolutely compelling. Dr. Novella logically breaks down pseudoscience stories and makes the deceptions transparent enough for even the most average reader feel like they are discovering the truth with him. When he is not debunking bad science he is introducing amazing scientific discoveries but unlike many stories he gives us the motivations behind the research and the effects that it could have on society as a whole.
NeuroLogica is an amazing blog for anyone who is looking for consistently well written pieces that are also tremendously entertaining and I would recommend that everyone put it in their number one spot on their blog feeds, I know I do.

Clear explanations of complex concepts, and great refutations of faulty arguments.

Dr. Steven Novella's Neurologica Blog is my favorite science blog.

Here is my selection:

1. LINK">Public Rambling by Pedro Beltrao. Wonderfully insightful and informative posts on bioinformatics, biology, publishing...
2. LINK">Nascent, my favortie NPG blog, on web technologies & scientific publishing.
3. LINK">The Tree of Life, by Jonathan A. Eisen. His posts on evolution & metagenomics are my favorite.

Salient mind food.

1. Pharyngula (PZ Meyers)
2. Aetiology (Tara Smith)
3. The Loom (Carl Zimmer)
4. Good Math, Bad Math (Mark Chu-Carroll)

In all these cases three things stand out that make these blogs top of the line. First, the ability to explain complicated notions to people with some background but aren't experts in the field in question. Second, point one does not generally occur at the cost of oversimplifying. Third, each blogs contain a variety of different topics rather than harping on a limited set of themes.

1. Deep-Sea News
LINK
Frequent updates, fabulous photos, and entertaining writing

2. The Other 95%

All things invertebrate, a new 'spineless song of the week' (original recordings) and more!

3. Bayblab

A terrific grab bag from 'a bunch of degenerate grad students'

4. Small Things Considered

More microbiology but with unique posts that make it worth the visit

Please consider including some of the blogs in LINK">The DNA Network, a collection of bloggers writing about genetics, genomics, and DNA.

Thank you!

Excellently presented knowledge based articles on microbiology and related sciences. I firmly recommend this site for those, having an interest in the subject.

Excellent resource for information on non-native species and their impact on local ecosystems. Not only North American information but also information from other parts of the world as well.

One I try and read everyday

I'm not a huge science blog reader, but I do enjoy two Michigan-based blogs that make the life sciences more accessible to everyday folks while still retaining enough technicality to be interesting: LINK">bootstrap analysis and LINK">Urban Dragon Hunters.

for Orac's incisive take on pseudoscience and critical thinking - almost always an excellent read & one that I recommend to my students. Yay Orac!

LINK Sarda presents a creative and imaginative angle on science blogs. She makes things personal and writes at a level that everyone can enjoy.

I really like the John Hawks Paleoanthropology Weblog. Why? Because Hawks is knowledgeable, very informative, and keeps up with the latest biological anthropology news that's "out there". I rate him so highly that he has a link on my blog, *The Writer's Daily Grind*, which is really a "writing" blog, not a science one, although the kind of writing I'm doing relates to his field.

Since I also own and moderate a paleoanthropology e-mail list, Palanthsci(a Yahoogroup), Hawks rates a link there, and I often post links on the list to his latest comments. Many of the members appreciate this link, and Hawks himself has posted there.

Finally, and perhaps most important, Hawks has a wonderful sense of humor. His posts are frequently laugh-out-loud funny, for he comments on the way prehistoric humans, or some scientific finds, are perceived by the "public", which is, well, frequently very funny.

It is very interesting and useful resource!
I love it and have subscribed it both via e-mail and RSS subscription.

My favourite science blog is ">LINK Tetrapod Zoology by the infectiously enthusiastic paleontologist Darren Naish. Focused on tetrapods, including paleontology (dinosaurs are Darren's specialty) and some cryptozoology, almost every post by Darren sends me off looking up animals I'd never heard of before.

Deric Bownds' Mindblog

Best around! Always erudite, humorous when need be, and most often very helpful, as it is always well-referenced.

There are a few things I do every day...mostly automated bodily functions and those things necessary for life.

Reading Respectful Insolence is one of my daily habits that I do by choice. A day without Insolence is like, well, February 30th.

As a lymphoma survivor, having options available to me if further treatment is needed is, of course, very important to me. Abel Pharmboy, author of the blog "Terra Sigillata", was recently instrumental in helping to publicize efforts to influence the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to increase reimbursement of two radioimmunotherapy (RIT) drugs that are showing promise in the treatment of lymphomas. This, along with much of the other information he posts, gets my vote for favorite science blog!

Besides Derek Lowe's excellent In the Pipeline:

Respectful Insolence

This guy's blog combines fascinating news-making science and his own entertaining takes on things in a way that makes reading highbrow science fun. An absolute joy to read!

The only science blog I enjoy enough to read every day is TDJ over at LINK His commentary on current science issues and developments is witty and informed, and appeals to a wide and adoring audience.

I see a certain consensus forming here in the comments. Apparently, I have a different taste.
Most of the blogs mentioned here have a focus on ID bashing, showing how stupid other people are, and, of course reiterating the benefits of OA publishing over and over. Unfortunately, there is typically only little science involved.

My favorite is LINK"> Mystery Rays . Ian does a fantastic job in writing accessible real-science posts, mainly about antigen presentation and related topics.

Runners-up are LINK"> Fungal Genomes , LINK"> YOKOFAKUN , and some more which have been mentioned before (the daily transcript, what-you're-doing-is-rather-desperate, Tree of life, etc.)

Top three:

RealClimate.org: real climatologists who explain climate research in terms we can all understand.

Respectful Insolence: Orac is very good writer and his glimpses into the world of medicine are enlightening.

The Loom: Carl Zimmer is one of the best science writers around. Period. He captures the curiosity on which we scientists thrive.

Honorable mention: Chris Mooney's "Intersection", Pharyngula, Eli Rabett, Tamino's Open Mind.

Chances are most of your readers will know the difference, but just in case there's anyone who doesn't know, I thought someone should point out that three of the blogs in the list are not science blogs, they are creationist blogs.

Creationism is not science for reasons that almost all scientists understand. (There are always a few odd exceptions, just like there are people who believe that we never went to the moon and that OJ Simpson is being hounded because he knows the truth, and not for other, more obvious reasons.)

If you're wondering which list it is, it's the one that contains two blogs from the Discovery Institute.

LINK
This blog provides you with various links to Life sciense issues: evolution, biology, ethology, neurosciense etc.

And here are famous

LINK

LINK blog over on livejournal, even an artist like me with no science know-how at all can find entertaining and interesting info. Mainly because he's awesome.

johnhawks.net has my vote!

Just a reminder that, as much as blogs like Bad Astronomy, Cocktail Party Physics or some technology blogs (e.g., Make) are wonderful, this survey is about Life Science blogs, i.e., blogs with a more-or-less regular coverage of biology and medicine.

Also, 'Uncommon Descent', 'Evolution News and Views' and 'ID the Future' are, by definition, not science blogs.

Finally, please add more blogs written by women - they are woefully missing from this list. Along those already mentioned (Aetiology, Anterior Commissure, Pondering Pikaia, Living the Scientific Life, etc.) I'd like to add:

LINK

Poster of some of the most interesting science news I can never find by myself on the internet, usually adding his own perspective on things with short paragraphs instead of gigantic opinionated articles that I have no time to casually read.

I'm interested in public understanding of the life sciences and therefore I use to read Biomedicine on Display (LINK This is the first blog that covers public understanding of biomedicine and the life sciences, especially through medical exhbitions and medical museums. Cool design!

tdj.livejournal.com is one of the best science blogs I've read. It's peppered with observations about his own research, his teaching, others' teaching, others' research, pop science, non-pop science, humorous science-related photos . . . It's fantastic!

My favorites, in no particular order, are

LINK">John Hawks

LINK">Language Log

LINK">RealClimate

LINK">Cosmic Variance

LINK">The Neurocritic

LINK">Retrospectacle

LINK">Gene Expression

LINK">Neurophilosphy


LINK">MindMods CogSciTech

A higher brow blog than pharyngula, that draws better participants. Despite some simplistic views of Larry Moran, complete lack of censorship allows commenters of all color to express themselves.

Pharyngula (LINK
Excellent discussions of developmental and evolutionary biology. Evolution vs. creationism and current incarnation (intelligent design) openly debated


Respectful Insolence (LINK
Discussions of skepticism, good science, and medical issues. Best posts include the slow creep of alternative medicine into mainstream medicine and the debate over immunizations and autism.

This is just one of the best science blogs on any field -- I only wish that 40 years ago I could have taken a course from him, I might have chucked Economics for what was really my first love.

Scientia Natura: Evolution and Rationality

Incredibly well-written evolutionary biology. Hard to beat this one.

A lot of great science blogs have already been mentioned, including Pharyngula, The Daily Transcript, A Blog Around the Clock, Laelaps and The Loom.

A very noteworthy blog that I don't see is the LINK">Neurophilosopher's blog, with some excellent posts on the history of biology, and neurobiology in particular, of late.

Also underappreciated are LINK">Ouroboros, LINK">Public Rambling, LINK">Deep Sea News, and LINK">business|bytes|genes|molecules.

My favourite Life Science Blog!

Microbiology news and views to help the busy scientist keep up-to-date on current research, forthcoming conferences, hot research topics, high impact publications, and much more.

I enjoy both "hard science" blogs as well as blogs about life in science. "Favorite" is a strong word, but here are five science blogs I visit very regularly.

I've been reading this site for several months. I am not a scientist, but I find it informative and interesting.

I'm fairly new to the Science blogs and I only have one favorite so far, Neurophilosophy. No one is better at explaining brain function in a way that a lay person can grasp.

Well First of all the Discovery Institute blogs do not count as science...
Now thats out of the way...

My favorite science blogs:
Retrospectacle
Anterior Commisure
A Good Poop
Improbable Research
and a bunch more really!

1.effect measure
2.aetiology
3.savage minds
4.pure pedantry

My favorite by far is John Hawks' Anthropology weblog. Very well written, informative, and easy to understand. Quite funny at times as well. Superfantastic!

I also read Gene Expression (both classic and Scienceblog versions) every day.

fascinating daily updates and honest reviews of scientific literature, plus COMEDY!

Super. Better than super.

Many of my favorites are already posted on here including LINK" > Pharyngula and LINK" > Evolgen, LINK" > The Loom and pretty much everything at LINK" > Scienceblogs, so I thought I would post some perhaps less well known ones here.

One is the Genome Technology Magazine's LINK Daily Scan . Whomever does this is snarky, sarcastic and also finds some real interesting posts out there relating to genomics.

I also like Bill Hooker's LINK" > Open Reading Frame . Very personal and sometimes over the top and quite interesting.

Another one that is growing on me is LINK" > Epidemix .

And finally, I truly LOVE Rosie Redfield's LINK" > RRResearch Blog where she discusses openly her active research and all its failings and promise.

Pharyngula is my favorite blog because of the great posts on science and the intersection of science and culture. I learn something new every day! The worldwide community of "Pharynguloids" keeps the blog lively and allows readers to learn about others' perspectives.

John Hawks' site is great for students of paleoanthro!

I love John Hawks' weblog- I read it everyday.

John Hawks by far - absolutely superlative, timely and informative.

In no particular order:

1. John Hawks LINK
2. Afarensis LINK
3. Laelaps LINK
4. Primate Diaries LINK

There are a lot of good science blogs there. Here are a few I suggest.

1. Uncommon Descent (William A. Dembski)
2. Evolution News and Views (Discovery Institute)
3. ID the Future (Discovery Institute)

It is hard to pick one given the different fields, personalities and writing styles.

Here is a list of some of my favorite blogs:

I enjoy reading PIMM (LINK by Attila Csordas. The blog is very informative with regards to regenerative medicine research and new technology. But what makes PIMM an interesting blog is that it does not just passively report news on stem cell research and regeneration. PIMM is motivated by a genuine fascination (or perhaps obsession) for life extension and immortality.

The blog is also fun and geeky (in a good way). A few examples posted on PIMM, which I think demonstrates the fun/geek element in PIMM and stands out from many other blogs (that I find occasionally dry or whiny) are: Pecha Kucha for scientists, and Vote for your favorite lab websites.

1) John Hawks
2) Respectful Insolence - Orac
3) Genomicron - T Ryan Gregory
4) Pharyngula - PZ Myers
5) This Week in Evolution - R Ford Denison

I like MAKE because it encourages tinkering and active involvement in science, not just observing from the sidelines.

PZ Myers rules. His articles about biology are wonderfully informative. His radical atheist positions are always spot on. Sometimes he goes just a little bit too far; but I've never found him guilty of weak reasoning or inconsistent positions. And he's also capable of surprisingly poetic or philosophical reflexions. I really wish I'd had this guy as a university teacher.

I VOTE FOR THE MAKE BLOG

I like the Seven Stones. It is a very interesting blog which covers all aspects of the rapidly growing and interdisciplinary field of systems and synthetic biology.

I had once a very long list of science blogs in my aggregator. Today, this is the only one I'm keeping.

every day something new, and a great deal paleoanthropology

I enjoy the taste of science that Carl Zimmer gives us, with insight into the discoveries shortly after they occur, timely and informative.

Actually, you can get just the science posts at Pharyngula, if the liberal politics and uppity atheism disturb you. Just use this link:

LINK">LINK

I'd like to mention a few that haven't been mentioned above...

This is a very, very hard question to answer because there are many blogs that I enjoy.

Here are some of my top reads, not necessarily in order:
1. LINK">Omics! Omics! by Keith Robison

3. LINK">The Genetic Genealogist by Blaine Bettinger
4. LINK">business|bites|genes|molecules by Deepak Singh
5. LINK ">bootstrap analysis
7. LINK">Living the Scientific Life by Grrl Scientist
8. LINK">Bug Girl

As a scientist who spends a lot of time at the bench, I prefer blogs by researchers.

Dan Rhoads' LINK">Migrations
Sunil Laxman's LINK">Balancing Life
RPM's LINK">evolgen
and two group blogs LINK">Biocurious and LINK">Gene Expression (Classic)

Blogs I look at almost every day include:
LINK">Living the Scientific Life, by GrrlScientist

LINK">Cocktail Party Physics, by Jennifer Ouellette, covers a wide variety of science topics including physics and biology

LINK">Deep Sea News, by Craig R. McClain and Peter Etnoyer

I like the way Attila is presenting news, info and comments on current biotech issues, and also his vision of a more tech savvy and open biotech research community. He is totally committed to what he is writing about (mostly stem cell research, and occasional infotech - geek - apple etc. things), which is very convincing, and helps him to keep his fingers on the IT/BT pulse of these days.

Disclaimer: Attila is my husband, so I cannot but be partial (sic!). :)

Pharyngula - PZ Myers

Respectful Insolence - Orac

Bad Astronomy - Phil Plait

I like the notion of listing a few (can't list 'em all) in the order of how excited I am when there is a new post:

1. Pharyngula
2. Respectful Insolence
3. Signout
4. Adventures in Ethics and Science (especially Friday Sprog Blogging)
5. Panda's Thumb

I enjoy many of the blogs selected by your expert bloggers. One that was overlooked but deserving of praise is LINK">The Neurocritic, a cognitive neuroscientist deconstructing research with a sly mix of technical detail, pop culture and humor.

LINK

Evodevo rocks. Dr. Myers does a fine job of teasing out the nuances of development and evolution. He also "rants" in support of an evolutionary perspective (and in opposition to anti-science anti-evolutionists).

I do wish readers could easily sort for entries on science topics vs. political. (This is a weakness of the scienceblogs site in general.)

In the case of pharyngula, posts span a spectrum from valuable and well thought out commentary on developmental biology and other science topics to personal political opinion.

LINK">YoungFemaleScientist: pitch perfect recitation of the disgruntled postdoc's woes
LINK">FemaleScienceProfessor: hilarious anecdotes of the academic troglodytes she experiences
LINK">Medical Writing, Editing & Grantsmanship: Essential reading for the NIH-supported scientist

At the moment, these are my favorite microbiology blogs:

- LINK">Small Things Considered - Moselio (Elio) Schaechter. A blog for sharing appreciation of the width and depth of microbes and microbial activities on this planet.
- LINK">MicrobiologyBytes - Alan Cann. The latest news about microbiology in a form that everyone can understand.

And here you have other favorite life sciences blogs:

- LINK">The Evilutionary Biologist - John Dennehy. All science, all the time.
- LINK">Bad Science - Ben Goldacre. Against pseudoscience, with a sense of humor.
- LINK">The Loom
- LINK">Sandwalk
- LINK">El PaleoFreak [in Spanish] - El PaleoFreak. He didn't have a childhood but a prehistory (comments on evolution). [No tuvo infancia, tuvo prehistoria (comentarios sobre evoluci￳n)]

LINK">Creek Running North for naturalist essay, paleontology, geologic history, and other unpredictable goodness.

1. Pharyngula - by Prof. PZ Myers.
2. Aetiology - by Dr. Tara Smith.
3. Pure Pedantry - by would-be Dr. Jake Young and Ms. Contreary.
4. Respectful Insolence - by Orac.
5. Sandwalk - by Prof. Larry Moran.
Off the top of my head. The numbers do not indicate order of preference... I like these blogs because of the intelligent writing style, the biology, the philosophy and the rationality inherent in them. Plus, put in substantial amount of great commenters, with a dash of occasional trolls who revel in making a public display of their ignorance - and there is a winning recip￩ in each one of them.

This blog (LINK and associated podcast examine all aspects of HIV/AIDS, including scientific, culture, and political issues. Recent posts have ranged from a discussion of HIV/AIDS as a national security threat to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour for the Human Rights Campaign. And, best of all, most of the installments are by undergraduate students. The blog and podcast are the outgrowth of a class project at Davidson College, and demonstrate the educational value of these media not only for the audiences, but also for the contributors.

Omni Brain! lol
