What is Energy Balance?

Posted on August 5, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

When energy is spent, it turns in to a new kind of energy. What kind? The opposite kind.

What is balance? Balance is when you use energy and create energy to something else. And if we are lucky, it creates energy going forward, back to us.

What is chain reaction? It is the continuation of energy. Plus to minus, minus to plus.

The universe is energy creating energy. The most important energy for us, Is the energy We are made of. When We die, We become new energy for new life.

Energy goes somewhere, where energy goes it becomes.

So when we use energy it is absorbed and then becomes the absorber of heat or energy or is absorbed again to be turned back into new plant life and once again becoming food or energy creating heat. CO2 is the aftermath of energy or fuel creating heat that now absorbs heat and energy or is absorbed by plants and trees giving them life and once again turning back into food and energy causing more life for us as we know it.

Action to reaction to reaction to reaction on this planet over and over, until, the sun absorbs our planet, and then, no history of life here, ever again. We are all part of the universe, the atoms in our bodies are billions of years old and the molecules in our bodies are up to millions of years old.

Life is death and death is new life — one of many circles of the energies of Life.

The Right (or not) to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Posted on August 4, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

As our solders are dying to free Iraq and protect the rights of We The People, strangely, all the rights of We The People have all been taken away. Right to Life, What does that really mean? Every time I hear one of our government representatives talk about it, I have to laugh, otherwise I would have to cry. What right to life?

When I hear a politician say they are for the right to life, what they are really saying is they are for the right to birth, because after you’re born, they do not want anything to do with you, unless of course you’re a corporation putting favors or money in their pockets, otherwise you’re all on your own, because they do not want to feed you or clothe you or raise you or educate you or help you get well when you are sick and that really is not their job or responsibility. But they are more than happy to spend Trillions of your dollars on weapon systems that will end all life for every living thing on this planet in a matter of a few minutes.

So it is OK to kill everything already living, but not something that is not living outside the womb yet. I am for every kind of life, not just the life that could be, but the life that already is. If you are reading this, you are among the lucky few. Two-thirds of the women on this planet have one luxury in life, a bucket to carry water. How would you like to spend five hours every day of your life just looking and finding clean drinking water to carry home to keep your children alive and then make dirt cookies to feed them. We have perfected starvation killing and bomb killing, not life.

About three thousand people died on 9/11. Since then millions have died from mistakes in hospitals and millions more from Staph infection and viruses caught in our hospitals. Maybe we should declare war against hospitals and health insurance companies who reward stockholders every time someone dies in a hospital. Maybe we should take the profit out of health care, or, lack there of. Every year in the US of A more people die from colds and flu than terrorism, more people die from murder in this country then terrorism, more people die from alcohol and drugs than terrorism, more people die from cancer and heart attacks, more people die from everything and anything than terrorism but we only spend trillions and trillions of dollars on causing death rather than preventing it. So the war machine and the stockholders of the war machine are doing very well. Maybe we should take the profit out of death.

40,000 people die of hunger every day and at the same time, this planet is overpopulated. What is humane? 40,000 people starved to death today.

Where did all my Rights go?

Posted on August 4, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

Corparate America owns the media and government. A barrel of oil is not worth a single drop of American blood. WE the People of the Republic of the United States of America have never protected Life in Iraq, not even American Life, and far less the rights of the people of Iraq. U.S. solders are dying for the oil of Iraq, not the people, and how do I know this?

Because all of my rights here in the US of A have all been taken away, So, I know we (our) solders have not been dying in Iraq for the last five plus years for OUR FREEDOM….Much less the people of Iraq. So KING George is in China today and as Russia is invading Georgia, King George is Dictating to China about human Rights after taking away all the rights of We the People of the Republic of the United States of America.

What is the definition of Hypocrite? How about: Oil Barons run the George-Dick-Haliburton-Rove White House and all of Osama Bin Laden’s wishes and dreams and prayers have all come true. Oil went to $147 a barrel from only $25 in only five years and all of our rights have been taken away, by the very same people we voted for to represent our freedom but now own and control We the People of the Republic of the United States of America. The state of government, maybe the Judicial branch of the U.S. government should over see the control of the justice department, rather than the executive branch that is in fact braking and ignoring and signing off on the law as it is being written. Thank goodness for state governments, Thank goodness for the state of Montana. Even with the federal government taking away all of my human rights, I still have some comfort here in Montana even if King George can now (legally) kidnap me and take me to a foreign country and illegally torture me and if I am lucky, I will just be drooped off in another country with only the shirt on my back, all because I am a Independent and not a republican neo-con-artist or neo-convict or so Karl Rove or Dick Cheney may think, Newt Gingrich keeps saying it is time to end Free Speech to better protect We the People. The only thing I need protection from are people and governments that think like Neo-Cons, who think like Neo-Nazis.

Maybe it is time for the fourth branch of government. The real, We The People. The only reason We The People have representatives in government is, We The People cannot gather together every day all in one big room to decide the law of the land because We all live to far apart from each other. So We let a few of us, We choose to TRUST, to speak for We the people. Well, It the government no longer speaks for We The People. For the most part the U.S. Government speaks for the corporate world, because in 1887 the Supreme Court illegally granted Constitutional Rights to entities just after a group of railroad barons bribed everyone in the U.S. government. So today entities called corporations give very large sums of money to both parties controlling the government in order to maintain its political power and existence over We the People.

Maybe it is time for We The People to come home from work everyday and vote from our computers and override anything and everything the government tells us We The People have to do for the government controlled by the corporate world, which has no mind or conscience or heart or spirit or soul. The entities that control Life are things. WE the People started out at the top of the food chain, but after, what Thomas Jefferson would call Fascist Traders, in the U.S. government, We are now at the bottom.

The corporations of the world just gave $100 million to the Republican party and $100 million to the Democratic party just for the party Conventions, so it does not matter which party wins, because the corporations own both parties. The same corporations give the same money to both parties in every election, Can you say Fascism ? Thomas Jefferson would. So Thank You Phil Gramm and Washington D.C. lawbreakers for removing the regulations put in place after the 1929 stock market crash and keeping the Enron loophole on the books.

Can You Fix Your Car?

Posted on August 4, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

When NASA cannot fix it, they have to call a car scientist. And that is all so very true. My educated guess is most NASA engineers cannot fix their own cars. Why do I think that? Because when NASA cannot fix something at NASA they do in fact call upon car scientists. How’s that for a service call, I wonder if NASA has AAA towing?

Cars had indoor pluming and heating and electricity in the late 1890s, that is about thirty to fifty years before most people had that luxury in their homes. In the 1920s a luxury in most homes was a wood stove. Even today most car technologies are still twenty to thirty years ahead of the rest of the world. My computer has over two hundred processors in it to diagnose car problems, most twenty year old cars have seven or more processors in a eight inch by ten inch metal box controlling your car’s engine along with many other modules and processors all wired and talking to another 30+ sensors and 30+ actuators on board just to run the engine.

Now add the computer for the anti-lock brake system and the computer for the air bag system and the computer to aim the head lights around corners the computer for the heating and air-conditioning system and the computer for the satellite communication and voice recognition system a computer for the suspension and ride control and nitrogen tire pressure and the computer for the remote start and the computer for security and the Body computer and forty miles of wire to monitor all on-board computers.

My 1984 Buick has a fiber-optic communication system. As simple as it is, all it does is tell the driver if any of the running lights are not working. When Hewlett-Packard comes out with something new, it is probably something they bought from General Motors and was in a Cadillac or Buick years ago. When I was going to school at the G.M. training center in 1977 in Burbank, California, we were learning about a satellite communication system that would have been on a 1978 or later Cadillac and maybe on a Buick. But the U.S. Government said no way. I guess the U.S. Military did not want Russia or China buying a new Cadillac and having better technology than our own Military. Here we are thirty or so years later and now you can have it in your car today.

It is always the Government that holds back science and technology. Your home computer has one processor in it and is very slow compared to the computers in your car. The oldest car I have worked on with an on-board computer was built in 1967, two years before we landed on the Moon. The computers that would have put man on the Moon failed and the Astronauts would have died — thank goodness the Astronauts were smarter than the computers.

There are at lest seven different kinds of pluming on most cars, with computers wired to all of them and the same goes for the dozens of electrical systems ranging from a milli-volt to 48,000 volts and everything in between. Most people cannot fix a car built back in the 1950s before emission controls and on-board computers and I am not talking about changing your own engine oil or air filter which is a class C level ability. Today it takes better than a degree in NASA engineering to diagnose and repair most newer cars. The satellite communication system intended for a new 1978 Cadillac would have sent you a postcard in the mail telling you your car is polluting the air and you only have twenty starts left on your car and if you did not fix your car it would not start until it was fixed.

My diagnostic computer was fiber-optic ready in 1982 , But it was about 2004 before we had any fiber optic cable in the ground here in Helena, Montana, to plug into and I still cannot plug into it where I live. So it only took about twenty-eight years for the rest of the world to catch up to my car or my diagnostic computer. Can you fix your computer?

Understanding Global Warming, is a piece of cake.

Fixing a new Cadillac, is a pain in the butt.

The Cost of Carbon is the Se-question?

Posted on July 21, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

The amount of energy that will be needed for carbon capture and the sequestration regardless of the overwhelming cost and the poisoning of underground drinking water, will have to be supplied by green or renewable energy. Otherwise, if you use carbon-based energy you will put  more carbon back in to the air than you can possibly remove. Maybe we should just capture the CO2 and freeze it and sell it to people who can no longer afford electricity for their refrigerator to keep what little food they can still grow from the Air with little or no CO2 in it. And by then we should be running low on oxygen, because now plants and trees have nothing to turn back into oxygen for us to breathe and because we are so good at removing CO2 from the air. We can remove it faster than it can evaporate with the water from the ocean from underwater volcanoes into the air on a very hot day along with all the other chemicals in the ocean we really truly do not want in the air.

And for all of you, who think you are saving the world, buying a new hybrid car, you will have to drive it for about five years just to offset the carbon produced just to build it.

If we add CO2 to the greenhouse in your backyard, the more CO2 we add the healthier and stronger your plants and vegetables will be, and then the healthier your food will be and then the healthier you will be. we know that after many  years of experimentation, research and study. CO2 is the cause of all carbon-based life on this planet.

CO2 is one one-hundredth of one percent of the air over land. So if we could add more CO2 into the air, it would be much healthier for plants and trees. So why don’t we just let plants and trees absorb the carbon from CO2 so they can live and make oxygen and food so all of us creatures will have something to breathe and eat too?  So, if you really need to capture something from the air, try the ozone produced at ground level that is causing severe respiratory illness all around the planet and put it in the hole in the ozone which is contributing to Global Warming.

The first air on this planet was all CO2, causing all plant life to begin on our planet.

I guess we will just be the cause of ending all life on this planet.

CO2 causes extreme cooling, that is why we call it Dry Ice.

Governments’ religion — CO2 causing Global Warming

Posted on June 7, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

CO2 causing Global Warming is a religion, it is a bad Hypothesis with no scientific proof or evidence of any kind. I have been searching for any proof from anywhere for over two years, and all I can prove is CO2 is with certainty with overwhelming evidence causes extreme cooling and that Global Warming causes CO2 levels to rise from the Ocean through the evaporation process and that CO2 is one of the causes of all life on this planet. And if we get rid of all the CO2 on this planet every living thing on this planet will die. And with forty thousand people dying of hunger every day, we can go one step further and do something real stupid and start turning Food in to Fuel. And why not go all the way, and while pumping CO2 in to the ground we poison the under ground drinking water, and make natural gas wells unflammable, well that should do it, we killed ourselves trying to save our selves, once again.

The United Nations Panel on climate change (UN IPCC) released a report in February 2007 stating with over 90 percent certainty that climate change is caused by human action but with zero percent proof. So we have over 90 percent certainty and zero percent proof.

Let’s see what Noah Webster has to say about the word certain.

CERTAIN: Sure; true; undoubted; unquestionable; that cannot be denied; existing in fact and truth;

So what exactly is over 90 percent certainty with zero percent proof? I guess the Political Scientists have their own dictionary. In the real world of science, zero percent proof means zero percent certainty. In science there is no 99 percent to 1 percent certainty its all or nothing with words like certainty and you cannot even say maybe over 90 percent with zero percent proof.

So we have a scientific consensus of over 90 percent certainty with zero percent proof? Only Political Scientists could make that scientific statement, to a real scientist, it is the words of fools.

Religion is 100 percent certainty with zero percent proof. That is very good Faith and very bad Science.

CO2 causing extreme cooling is not a theory, it is a proven fact for over 100 years.

As The World Turns

Posted on May 23, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

The rotation of the Earth has been slowing down for billions of years. As the Moon moves further away from the Earth, it causes the Earth’s rotation to slow. When the Moon was at its closest point to the Earth, a full day and night only took somewhere between as little as two hours, some say and as much as six hours others say. I wonder if they used different numbers or different Math or both, I will use no Math and just go down the middle and say as little as four hours for the Earth to make a full rotation, two hours of Day and two hours of Night.

So a full Day then was twenty hours shorter than a full Day today and with the earth turning many times faster than today, the gravity would have been so great that a person dropped off here back then would be instantly turned into a pancake. And don’t get me wrong, I like pancakes. I have never met one I did not like, very much, but can you imagine being a pancake living on our planet over four billion years ago, looking up into the sky and seeing a moon fifteen times closer and bigger than it is today, it would eclipse the sun every day.

Today the sun and the moon are exactly the same size in the sky and before long the moon will be smaller than the Sun in the sky and will no longer cover the Sun during an Eclipse. Along with a much slower rotation of the earth, and just about the time the Sun is ready to vaporize the Earth a day and night will last almost twice as long as today. How would you like twenty hours of day and twenty hours of night every day? Well, don’t worry that won’t happen for billions of years. And I can not be Certain but I believe we will all be long gone and forgotten by then, we will probably be long gone before a billion years from now, when the average daily temperature will exceed 160 degrees.

Our time on this planet is just a blink of an eye in all of time, we are very lucky to be living during the gentlest weather cycles of our planets history, thanks to moon slowly moving further away. The moon does far more than just affect our ocean tides. It affects all of Life. After billions and billions of years of time there has only been life here for millions of those years. Life is just a drop in the bucket of time. I hope life is a cycle throughout the universe through all of time.

We live in a very special moment in time. Life is ever changing as the cause of life is ever changing. We are a very fragile balance of carbon energy and spent carbon energy, the by product of fuel burning efficiently and the cleaner the burn the higher the level of spent carbon energy produced to make and support all of plant life. Hydrocarbons carry the energy fuel and CO2 is the spent fuel carbon absorbed by plants and trees and once again the CO2 is changed back into carbon with energy for food or fuel.

When Stars Collide

Posted on May 21, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

Our Star will not become a supernova as some dying stars will. Our star, the Sun, will grow as it is dying, it will grow to or past the orbit of our planet. We call it our star and our planet because we live here, and of course we belong to the Sun and Earth and Moon. We might as well claim everything — nothing else has, at least, not that I know of. So from this point forward the universe is ours, but only until our star vaporizes us. I think stars are like people, so many different kinds and no two alike. A sun dying going supernova would be trillions of times the energy of our star dying.

Our star is far from dying. The Sun is just warming up. Every day our star is getting brighter and warmer and someday the average daily temperature on earth will be about 160 degrees or so. Just give it a billion or so years to get there. And just like water evaporates, the earth will vaporize into the energy of our dying sun and then never again a trace of life from here, ever again. Now take two healthy stars moving toward each other very rapidly and then sit back and enjoy the light show, it will definitely be the last thing you will ever see. When two stars collide the energy is trillions times the energy of a dying star going supper nova and the surface of every planet in that entire galaxy will be vaporized in to the energy. Maybe that is how neutrinos are made and where they come from, intense energy too small to measure or see, traveling through time and space, through everything. We can detect neutrinos going through heavy water after they have been through seven miles of earth. They are pure energy from a Plasma Burst billions of years ago.

CO2 in its purest form is Dry Ice.

Where did all the Montana Camels go?

Posted on May 13, 2008 by Bruce A. Kershaw

That’s right, Camels in Montana 14,000 years ago. Hard for most to believe but true. We had all kinds of strange creatures running around Montana back then. Like the Lion, much larger than the African Lion along with the Sloth and Mastodon wondering around, I am trying to picture a Camel much larger than the Arabian Camel in my garden eating away at my carbon intake, or maybe the Bear that stood 14 to 15 feet tall.

And sadly they all disappeared about fourteen thousand years ago. For years we have believed man hunted them all out of existence but after close examination we now know from the Iridium lodged in their bones that a asteroid must have wiped them all out, and with no evidence of a Asteroid hitting the ground because the asteroid would of hit thick Ice or Glaciers back then and so the evidence would have all melted away.

Most of mankind back then lived close to the ocean shore which would have been many miles further away, with the ocean being hundreds of feet lower than it is today. Like Atlantis most of the evidence of mankind 14,000 years ago would be under hundreds of feet of water today. On the East Coast the floor of the gulf stream was 200 feet above sea level and the gulf of Mexico was all a giant land mass, so going to Africa from South America would have been a very easy and short trip on the water.

Which would help explain pyramids on both continents with similar design.
