I just want to say a few words here about the latest theories in physics and a general view of religion.
Those of you that know me know that, when I saw a few words, I probably mean a dozen paragraphs or so. We'll see how it goes. :-)
I don't know about you guys (and I say this to the two people who are actually following me on here, lol), but I have been interested in Physics since high school, when I learned how things work in the real world. Because, you know, in my fantasy world, chick's shirts can never fully contain their breasts, and rip asunder every few seconds no matter what the material is. Something which almost never happens in the real world. Hey it was high school, what else would I have been thinking about? Physics? HAH!
Errr, so anyway, I have been following news in the physics world for some years now. Given that high school was some 25 years ago, now. There's this thoery. Basically, they were doing the math, and according to the calculations (I'm putting this is the most basic layman's terms here, because even I don't understand the calculations... Hey, I said I liked physics, not math), they are missing a lot of the universe's matter. Apparently, there should be tons more. And by tons, I don't mean a couple volkswagons' worth, I mean like 90% of the universe's matter. I think. Eh, anyway, they are missing buttloads of it. And by missing, I mean, what we can see of the visible universe, it just doesn't appear to be there.
Now, the calculations have been off for years, but nobody knew what to do about it. Unlike black holes, which also can't be seen directly, but behavior around stuff that DOES emit light can be directly observed (like for instance, there's most likely a black hole at the center of most galaxies, including the milky way, which we are a part of). Also, we can detect high-energy gamma rays (yes the stuff that transformed the hulk) and x rays that are shooting out of the "polar regions" of black holes. Yes, they spin on an axis like the earth does, and though no sunlight is actually shining on them (well, it is, it's just not being reflected back), they do emit these rays from their axis.
Anyway, so a few years back some guy went "Okay, there's got to be something we can't see making the calculations go all off, like... like... DARK MATTER... Yea, that's it, that's the ticket, DARK MATTER!" And the concept for Dark Energy followed shortly thereafter. And I'm sure the guy who came up with this is a well respected physicist and all, and I'm not saying he's wrong, but I have a few problems with this.
One, we can't seem to test or confirm this theory. Now that's not new to science, but it's completely true. We have no current way to even test for the existence of dark matter. Supposedly, there was some things we looked at at a very long distance away from us, and the only thing that could have bent the light the way the light was bent when it reached us (when I say it bent the light I don't mean like a melted pretzel, but like it bends when it hits glass or water) could only have been dark matter doing it. I don't know how they can possibly confirm that since it's, oh hundreds of billions of light years away. How can they be absolutely positive that nothing was in the way besides dark matter? It's not like it's a closed system, we are talking the length of the universe here. I'll tell you what, when these guys go and travel the entire length that the light traveled and made sure there were no bumps in the road the light took to get here, I'll believe them.
Two, a long long time ago in a country far far away, there were these cavemen. And they came out of the cave to gather... rocks.. or... something... and the sky rumbled with thunder. And and the stupid cavemen turned to the smart cavemen and asked him "What does that?" And the smart cavemen, who had no clue why the sky did that, hazarded a guess and said "the gods are fighting, maybe?" And the dumb cavemen went back into the cave and said "THE GODS ARE FIGHTING, THE GODS ARE FIGHTING!!!" And this is how rumors spread and become religions like Catholicism. Stupid people.
No, just shut your whore mouth. You can believe in Catholicism if you want. Shit, I was born a catholic myself. But I am also allowed to believe in something else if I want to. It's called freedom of religion. We have that here in the states. Well, we do until the government or the corporations get too powerful, take control of everything and tell us what to believe. But until then I am a die hard agnostic who is against all religions in general, and here's why... YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE SHIT UP TO EXPLAIN THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. Now, I know people have been doing it for years. That doesn't make it right. People have been ass-raping sheep for years, that doesn't make that right either. Fun, but not right. Shut up, BAA means yes, we've discussed this before. Anyway, after I looked into the history of the catholic church, I realized they weren't any more holy than any of the other religions, and my faith/ignorance/brainwashing went "BUH BYE SEE YA!" and after that, I realized that not only were they as infallible as everyone else, they were a damn sight less tolerant of strangers, odd folk, and people who believed differently than they did. What? Turn the other cheek, you say? I say hundreds of years of Pope-inspired Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, and their current intolerance of gays and lesbians. Yea, turn the other cheek, my ass. And don't give me that whole, my scientific logic is disturbing your faith. I tried to talk a catholic out of his faith once. Can't be done. You either see the truth for yourself or you cling to your ignorance blindly. There is no in-between.
So here's my problem number two with this dark matter and energy theory. It makes shit up to explain why things happen. Now I am fine with saying the Flying spaghetti monster is pulling galaxies to his noodly embrace theory... because that is actually happening, entire fucking GALAXIES are being pulled at a constant rate towards some area of the universe beyond what we can see... the current estimate is at 2.2 million miles an hour or something. Yea, even faster than you'd go in a ferrari. Fast, innit? And they are all traveling at the same speed and in the same direction, at least, according to our observations... BUT... You can't then use that flying spaghetti monster theory to explain everything else as well. Until you've proven that shit, you can't just say it's causing EVERYTHING. What? Why can't you say that? because it's retarded, that's why. Let's say I get pulled over by a cop and I'm drunk and speeding. I'm behind the steering wheel. And I tell the cop that aliens made the car speed with their fancy tractor beam thing and only by slamming the car into reverse and jamming on the gas was I able to break their hold. No, i've never been drunk enough to say that, nor have I ever been that drunk behind the wheel of a car, but let's say I am convincing enough that he asks me to get out of the car and point which way the aliens went, and I get out and I don't have pants on. Am I to then say "The aliens took my pants, too!?!" Sure, why not, right?
So here's what physicists are doing. One, they are fucking up hypothetical equations and doing the math wrong. Don't give me that shit, I took physics, I know there's math wrong somewhere. When you make up numbers for half the values, you are damn sure going to have bad math. Two, they are making up flying spaghetti monsters to explain what they can see happening and what they can't see. Three, they are using this explanation for everything, and four, they are asking the general public to buy this line of BS and to give them money to research it.
Hmmmm. Aside from the math part, that sounds a lot like the catholic church. oh, and every other religion out there that I have heard of. I don't mean to single out catholicism here. I am pretty convinced every religion is just looking to screw up your head enough that you'll give them your money. I mean, it's not a joke when they say they are selling religion, they give you something to believe in and you hand them your money in return. Whether it's scientology, catholicism, islam or whatever, it's all the same. "Give us your money and we'll give you something to believe in... it may not be the right thing, but if you pay for it, it'll be YOUR thing." lol And don't give me that whole "who'd fall for that?" crap. It's one thing when Joe down at the bar tries to get you to give him your money to buy beer because he worships the beer god, it's another thing when it's an established church like catholicism... shit, they have IN GOD WE TRUST on the US dollar. That's some serious goddamn influence, there. But it's still the same hook. Find someone in need, sell your schtick, and make some money. Con artistry, pure and simple, taken to a massive scale.
So, not only have scientists betrayed my personal religion of honesty and logic by espousing dark matter and energy without any basis in fact and using it to explain everything, but geeks have now done the same by saying that Google is god. Yea, apparently there's some stupid rumor (that's how it starts) floating around the internet that google is god. Now, it's only a joke right now, but that's how these things start, and it was probably started by Google. It basically compares praying to god for porn, and not getting it, with going to google, searching for it, and getting it. Yea, hookers aren't god either but they give great blowjobs. Google, by comparison, has never given me a good blowjob. AND WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT, GOOGLE? WHERE'S MY GODDAMN BLOWJOB? Here I am sittin here with Mr Tiny hangin out, waiting patiently, and there's google sitting up on the old internet there, NOT HELPING MY SITUATION. Yea, that sounds like god to me all right. useless.
So why do I think google started the joke? Think about it. The joke makes the internet. Then it becomes a rumor. Then it becomes a religion. Then Google makes EVEN MORE MONEY. Sure. How else can they make more money? They are just a search engine. Sure, every advertiser in the known world might be paying them to move their websites up in the list a little bit, but they are greedy sons of bitches. Getting a bunch of idiots to hand you their cash would be cheaper than, you know, actually doing something. What? You think google does something? It's a search engine. It doesn't do anything anything significantly better than yahoo, lycos, ask mr jeeves, or any other search engine has ever done, they just have better public relations. Don't give me that google chrome shit, they aren't charging for that. Yet. It's not making them money, they've got to have another cash cow somehow. And that's what a company is all about, isn't it? Pulling the wool over your eyes to make money?
So catholicism, islam and dark matter is just a bad con with good PR. Let's hope scientologists don't read my blog and hire a good PR guy. I don't even like Xenu, the scientology god. He never buys me beer, the cheap prick.
