Does time seem to fly by, move slowly or move just right—or all of these variations?  Actually, time doesn’t change, but our perception of it does and that can affect our lives—maybe this pearl can give some insight as to why.   It seems that when we are young time moves very slowly and we can’t wait to be older.  As we become seniors, time moves very quickly and we yearn to be younger.  For comic relief on this subject you might enjoy the late George Carlin’s pleasant take on our perception of time as we age (he lived to be 102).  Go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5s6FLjdZNc   Our perceptions of time vary throughout the day, whether at work, home or…

Are you aware of the three forces of the universe that control your everyday life?  Are you aware that these forces have numerous variants?  Do you even care?  If so, you might find this pearl both interesting and enlightening.   This pearl and the next one on "What is Gravity" are a lead into the final pearl of this series that has to do with "The Farces of the Universe", which so-called scientists use to negate the forces noted below in order to get grants, notoriety, etc., by pushing those farces.   The many Forces of the Universe:   Real science has established that there are basically three types of forces in the universe: 1) Nuclear force; 2) Electromagnetic force;…

  Do you think that the universe is controlled by gravity? Do you believe that “the big bang”, “black holes”, “worm holes”, “dark matter” and parallel universes exist?  Do you think that the sun (or any star) is a solid mass of thermonuclear fission?  If so, you might find this pearl both interesting and enlightening—or maybe you will have a diametrical opinion.     The Farces of the universe, a Musical Alliteration:   Except for a 14.5 billion year old universe started by a Big Bang and employing black holes, dark matter, wormholes, parallel universes and thermonuclear stars, everything that you’ve ever heard about science and the universe is true.   There are many Neanderthals lurking in the muddled mist,…

  Do you know that the mass of the universe is mostly from the atom’s neutrons and protons? Do you know where gravity comes from? If interested you might find this pearl enlightening.   Since almost all of the masses that gravity attracts consist of the masses of protons and neutrons in atoms, it seems probable that the Gravitational Force (GF) is an extension of the Strong Nuclear Force (SNF) that hold the protons and neutrons together.    I propose that gravity transitions from the SNF to the GF outside an atom’s nucleus, but within the atom’s radius.   For a more complete explanation of the SNF to GF transition refer to the attached PDF “The Gravitational Force”.    ENJOY…

  Does the thought of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) frighten you?  Do you ever wonder what the essence, the driving force of A.I. development is?  Well, maybe we can figure it out and put your mind at ease—somewhat.   When discussing A.I., most people dwell on what A.I. might be used for and rarely address the essence of A.I.  The only purpose of this pearl is to convince you that A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) cannot exist without H.I. (Human Intelligence) no matter what A.I. is used for—that is the essence of A.I.   But First, Some Definitions:   Artificial:  Something not naturally occurring in nature that is made or produced by humans; fake Artificial Intelligence: The theory and development of computer systems…

  Do you know what a federal tariff actually is?  Do you realize that it is actually a Federal Sales Tax that we pay?  If interested, you might find this pearl on tariffs non-taxing.   The purpose of this pearl is to put in plain language what tariffs are and what are their positive and negative effects are for you.  You can go on line and review a myriad of discussions about tariffs that are more confusing than illuminating.  I hope that this discussion is more illuminating than confusing.    Understanding Taxes:   Definition:  Taxes are contributions required for the support of the government composed of persons, groups or businesses within the domain of that government.   Other than property…

Do you think that A.I. will eventually think like humans?  Do you know how humans think?  Do you know how A.I. should think?  Maybe this and a previous pearl can help you decide.   We hear a lot of “opinions” today, from those who make a living promoting A.I. and from those who philosophize about it.  The purpose of this pearl is to explore whether A.I. thinking can mimic human thinking using the “Genetic Human Personality TOOL”.  Also refer to the pearl: “Why, How and What We THINK” to understand human thinking, so that this pearl can have more meaning for you, if any.   Note:  In this pearl, A.I. thinking, whether by a robot or by a computer will…

 Have you dealt with A.I. recently; was it a positive or a negative experience?  Are you aware of how much A.I. has infiltrated your personal and professional communications?  Do you know which human jobs A.I. cannot infiltrate?  This pearl should bring this issue to your attention and what you might do about it.   Ask anybody what A.I. means and they will tell you “Artificial Intelligence”.  The term artificial means that it is “made by humans” which is appropriate.  The term intelligence means “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge”.  Refer to the pearl “Your Knowledge, Intelligence and Wisdom” for a better understanding.  The term knowledge means that you have “gained understanding through experience”.  But computers don’t experience anything; they…
