-Dring dring, there the door bell goes. Reinko opens the door and it is Arty! Hey come on in Reinko says. 

Arty: Shit man, all these years you let me dry out in the beautiful Afhganistan landscape and now I must come here to eat cookies?

-Reinko: Oh, you got the message wrong: In this country it is illegal to send so called cookies along with your website. 

But I cannot control the cookies my dear Arty, that problem is around for many years: 
Visitors get a cookie, but it is not done by  me... .

Arty (looking difficult): So what do we need to do?

-Reinko: We must eat the cookies before they eat us..

 Arty (smiling): Ok ok, I have to go back to my home country, so bye bye

(17 March 2020) It seems that the UK is going for 'herd protection' in order to fight the corona virus epidemic. TLDR has a good video about that.

Item 1) Herd protection in the UK, is that wise?

 Item 1) Herd protection in the UK, is that wise?

The idea is that if the majority of people already have contracted the new corona virus, that will bring protection for the rest. So all elderly and people with pre existing medical conditions are supposed to self isolate for at least 4 months while the rest of the population can still go doing their daily things like going to a pub, to work, to restaurants etc etc.

By doing so in the UK the virus will spread relatively fast and one of the consequences could be that Europe simply has to block all people from the UK going to Europe. Especially if you already spread the virus before you get noticeable symptoms, but like so much with this virus that is not well understood right now. You constantly hear that you only start spreading the virus after you get symptoms but there is no proof for that, after all it is a new virus.  

Furthermore in the UK there are only about one thousand free intensive care beds in hospitals available, of course that is nothing compared to a situation where Italy is in right now. Just look at the death rates over there, that is what happens when your medical capabilities as a nation get completely overrun. 

Anyway, we will see how this detail evolves in the future. Title of the video:
Is Johnson Doing Enough to Fight Coronavirus? Herd Immunity vs Isolation - TLDR News Link used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQg2XLdpPEo

That was it for today, till updates. 

 

(09 March 2020) Wow what a weekend: In Italy millions of people in lockdown. From China a bit more conformation that if children are infected they mostly have mild to very mild symptoms but they do spread the virus before symptoms are there. The WHO came out with a fatality rate of 3.4 for the COVID-19 illness, likely the WHO did put it a bit more cautious because that is only for people that have severe symptoms. For myself speaking I cut the 3.4 number in five to about 0.7% fatality rate in the entire population (about 80 percent of infected people have only mild symptoms hence about 3.4/5 is a reasonable estimation at this time for the population fatality rate).   

As a first antidote to all this panic, you can look at a perfect video from 3blue1brown about logistic growth. Since that is likely the way things will evolve because I think this can not be contained in a serious manner. At best there is a bit of slowing down the spread of the virus, but sorry I am even a bit pessimistic about that. 

Anyway, if you want to understand how rather likely this will evolve when it comes to reported numbers I refer to the 3blue1brown video:
Exponential growth and epidemics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kas0tIxDvrg 

As a second antidote I found a video from two guys who make all the classic faults when it comes to explaining electron spin and other forms of magnetism. That is our item of today: 

Item 1) Patches of explanation for magnetism, do these patches bite each other?

 Item 1) Patches of explanation for magnetism, do these patches bite each other?

It is late at night so I will not try to explain once more that electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles. No, I will let the idiots do the talking. 

If in one patch of explanation electrons do randomly a 50/50 thing and in another patch of explanation 100% of the electrons align, let the idiots do the talking for themselves. 

Here is the video: MAGNETS: How Do They Work?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFAOXdXZ5TM 

Two idiots named Veritasium and MinutePhysics explain magnetism. In one patch of explanation they need 50% do this in a magnetic field and in another patch of explanation all of a sudden 100% of the electrons listen to the orders of the applied external magnetic field. 

Why don't they understand these two explanations bite each other? I don't know and I don't care. All I know I am looking at two idiots. 

Here is the 50/50 patch: 

 

And if you need to explain a permanent magnet you just do the blah blah where 100% of unpaired listen to your imbecile explanation: 

 

Ok, that was it. Till updates my beloved reader...  
Later (16 March) updated: On 15 Feb on the other website I wrote a post just about this problem: in one situation electrons behave 50/50 under a magnetic field while in other situations it is always 100% of the electrons. For myself speaking I still do not understand precisely why people like Veritasium & the MinutePhysics guy do not realize for themselves that this all is very contradicting...

 

 (04 March 2020) Yesterday I hung reason number 83 in the magnetic pages, that's item 2 for today and in item 1 let's look at estimations for the death toll of the new COVID-19 corona virus.

Item 1) The population fatality rate is still unknown.
Item 2) Plasma instability in nuclear fusion reactors.

Item 1) The population fatality rate is still unknown.

It is often mentioned that about 2% of the people die from COVID-19 and as such it is about 20 times as lethal as the flu. But how reliable is that 2% figure? That is more or less emerging from those Johns Hopskins statistics. Here you see some parts of the results from today:

 

Ok, this simply says about 3% of confirmed COVID-19 cases have died. Although that is an interesting statistic to track in the present days, it does not say much about the overall death rate in the entire population. 

For example among the 40 thousand 'confirmed but not recovered', still a lot will die and as such raising the 3%. 

On the other hand, people get only tested when they have symptoms and seek medical help. A lot of people have hardly symptoms and as such never seek medical help. That means for the overall population the death rate will be lower. The 3% is only among those that seek medical help. 

Item 2) Plasma instability in nuclear fusion reactors.

A few months back I thought about writing down a 2D math model for how plasma should behave if indeed electrons were magnetic monopoles. If already in a 2D model you get rough turbulence in 3D it will only be worse. 

But I decided not to do that, after all I don't have the means to run numerical simulations myself so what is the point of penning down such a trivial mathematical model? Another problem was that in order to make the model more realistic you also have to take into account pressure differences and before you know it you find yourself back in all kinds of so called Navier-Stokes equations. 

Instead I decided to only use a biological quantum computer known as 'human brain' and just took a few days to let the biological quantum computer run. 

I arrived at the conclusion that high speed electrons will cluster together in streams and those streams either merge or repel each other. In the end it is going to be a very violent process because likely those streams will keep on merging while the magnetic field is pumping more and more energy in it. 

Just today, I should have written down the title, I saw a video with high speed footage of starting plasma in milliseconds. After 2000 milliseconds (that is 2 seconds) the video stops and all the time the filaments only grow. 

In this reason number 83 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles I am satisfied with the results found: those fusion reactors will never work just like the physics professors will never ever cough up an experimental proof that the electron is actually a magnetic dipole. Click on the picture to land on reason nr 83.

 

Also normal people can understand this, you do not need any math for it. 

Ever heard of that famous electrical tripole named the neutron? Of course you have, the overall charge of the neutron might be zero but it has 3 quarks in it with electrical charges! 

So this neutron is an electrical tripole, it has 3 electrical poles. Therefore it gets accelerated by electrical fields under certain conditions...  

Of course that is total nonsense, the electric charges cancel out in the neutron. 

So why in the electron that is much much smaller, if there are really a north and a south magnetic dipole, why don't they cancel out??? 

Till updates my dear reader. 

 

 (27 Feb 2020) Wow there goes the new corona baby virus; it starts spreading faster and faster. Given the cute characteristics of the new virus this was more or less to be expected: a long incubation time together with the facts that you already start spreading the virus during incubation and a lot of people hardly get sick from it, that means trouble in containing this stuff.

Will it overflow the healthcare system? Health authorities say it won't but I am not so sure about that. When there's just a few patients all is fine but when massive numbers start showing up at hospitals all of a sudden there are just not beds enough... 

For example the relatively high death rate inside Iran can be explained by the fact that given the economical conditions and sanctions, it is hard for the Iranians to give good medical care to those that are vulnerable to this new virus. Of course with greetings from the USA to Iran; no biological medical stuff towards Iran because you can dual use that for the production of biological agents. Or whatever weird like of reasoning they have over there in the USA...  

Is there no hope or a small flicker of hope on the far horizon? Not much hope but for sure there is still fun in this world. The new virus will run it's course and no fusion reactor will work along present day insights.  

Item 1) The UK brings fresh joy at the scene: they understand fusion plasma...

 Item 1) The UK brings fresh joy at the scene: they understand fusion plasma...

I found a cute video from something that is named UKAEA, I never heard from that before but they are some authority that regulates the UK fusion stuff. 

Like always they think if it runs for 15 milli seconds it can run for 15 years. The official version of the physics professors is that because electrons are magnetic dipoles they are not accelerated by the magnetic fields that are supposed to contain the fusion plasma. 

Since I think that electrons are magnetic monopoles, the longer the fusion reactor like JET or ITER or the Wendelstein thing is turned on, the more turbulent the plasma gets and in the end the whole thing is going to explode or create otherwise huge damage. 

Of course there is no physics experiment whatsoever that confirms that electrons are magnetic dipoles. Is that a problem for professional physics professors? Of course not because everybody is doing that blah blah thing; it is dogma electrons are magnetic dipoles.  

At the UKAEA they think they 'understand plasma', I think they don't.  

 

Screen shot from: A guide to STEP; UKAEA’s compact fusion reactor programme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHBUuKfCOyU 

The weirdo's think they have the tools to understand the plasma in the fusion reactors... Good luck with it and I will never invest a penny of my money in such a collection of total idiots. 

Let's leave it with that, have a good sleep because that is good for your immune system & have a bad sleep for all those that think fusion reactors will bring free energy for millions of years. 

End of this update. 

 

(24 Feb 2020) More or less like expected the new corona virus is spreading to other countries, Italy is the latest as far as I know now. Like said before: the only good news about that virus is that it's fatality rate is not that high. So many people get hardly sick from it, they spread it without even knowing it so I don't think this can be contained. But if the virus does not mutate that much (in the sense it becomes more lethal) it looks like we started this with 7 billion people and we will end with 7 billion people.

All we can do is pray that the thing does not mutate all over the place, it is well known that most viruses get less lethal over time but this is a fresh one so a wise person will pray for the best... 

In another development the EU leaders could not agree on a new EU budget. I did not study the figures deep and broad but for example my country would need to pay a lot more. Now I don't want to be seen as a person that sits on his wallet all day long but since the UK is leaving why not consider a bit of cuts in the spending? As you might know I am very much in favor of the European project, try WWIII for example if you don't like the European project, but stuff cannot get too crazy. 

As an antidote to all that negative news, why not do my favorite thing from lately: slamming idiots that think fusion reactors will ever work and that as such we can fight climate change... 

Item 1) My favorite fusion idiot still is the Lockheed martin guy.

 Item 1) My favorite fusion idiot still is the Lockheed martin guy.

An old idea in making a fusion reactor is using those so called magnetic mirrors that supposedly could held the plasma in place. It is a very old idea that of course did not work because it is based on the idea that plasma is diamagnetic. And stuff that is diamagnetic gets slowly repelled by any magnetic field.

Of course it did not work because plasma is not diamagnetic at all so at present day we are left with the tokamak and stellarator concepts. Ok ok some people are even building steam engines that will smash so hard that fusion will occure but let's skip those fantastic approaches.

I don't know a lot about fusion technology, but as far as I know the approach with magnetic mirrors was skipped decades ago. To my big surprise they came up in those video's from Lockheed Martin from about five years back when they had all that blah blah of making mobile fusion reactors... 

After all those years these video's are still my favorite kind of idiots talking. Say for yourself; is what we are looking at in the next picture a magnetic wall or not? 

 

The video is truly hilarious, it is five years old but it is still a monumental piece of idiots talking. Lockheed Martin: Compact Fusion Research & Development
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlYClniDFkM 

It is a pity that climate change is far less hilarious and all that fusion stuff is never going to work as long as you do not want to understand some of the elementary properties of electrons. Ok, let me leave it with that. Till updates. 

 

(20 Feb 2020) It is tempting to comment a bit on Brexit stuff or that new corona virus stuff and people held on cruise ships because of that but I will skip all that emotional stuff. At worst the corona stuff will cost something like 50 to 100 million deaths if it becomes wider spread across the entire planet. So that's peanuts because there will still be 7 billion people left...

If you compare that to climate change it is truly peanuts, if worst case scenario's of climate change come out we are talking about billions of extra deaths and that is far more worrisome. Can may be fusion energy prevent such a disaster? 

Nope, the more I am beginning to understand the behavior of plasma inside those nuclear fusion installations like JET & ITER the more I get convinced this all is never going to work. 

That is our item for today: 

Item 1) Will nuclear fusion save humanity from heat death? Nope.

 Item 1) Will nuclear fusion save humanity from heat death? Nope.

Ok, I only recently found out that all that nuclear fusion stuff indeed creates filaments. That means there is fast electron transport in those filaments. About two years back I joked that the German Wendelstein stellarator fusion reactor will never work because of electrons moving at relavistic speeds. Of course the German Max-Planck institute is part of a university and as such nothing will happen.

Ok ok, they will ask for more money in order to save humanity from climate disasters, but that is logical: Those are university people already drowning in money...

I found a cute video upon nuclear fusion and I think that will be the basis for Reason number 83 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles. And once you think about electrons carrying magnetic charge, all of a sudden you understand a bit more about plasma behavior inside magnetic fields that are designed to keep the plasma contained. 

In my present view, that is the year 2020, if the big ITER thing goes on and will create first plasma in 2025, if later they turn the machine on for let's say 500 seconds of time, it has totally destroyed itself.

Yet the JET guy from that cute video thinks the electrons move only 2 millimeters, that is related to that stuff from Lorentz and his famous force. 

Here is a link to that video: Fusion energy: scientific challenges
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JITh4ZNZ3cA 

Good science should always be falsifiable, that means if is insight is false you can find a proof for that and as such you are going towards 'the truth' whatever that means.

You do not need much brain in order to understand that if electrons are magnetic monopoles, in that case there will be filaments that go in two directions: from North  to South pole magnetism  and electrons that go the other way around.

But I get sick in my stomach when I think about university people so let's make this update short. Here a picture:  

 

Ok fuckheads: If only the Lorentz force accelerates electrons, how to explain these filaments? 

Bah, I feel sick in my stomach. With a bunch of retards like this we are going to tackle climate change??? Ok, that was it for this update. Till updates.  

 

(08 Feb 2020) Today was a hilarious day for me and therefore we are going to look at an hilarious video from Sean Carroll. Sean is one of the television professors in physics, often his videos are fun to watch. Today it was funny once more, it starts with complaining that physics professors even don't try anymore to understand quantum physics... That is hilarious because I have the same problem: math professors have centuries ago given up on understanding complex numbers in higher dimensions.  

How brain rot like that sets in I don't know, luckily I do not have that kind of brain rot.
But serious, let's talk a bit about the classical electron and the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Here we go: 

Item 1) My problem with the many worlds interpretation of QM.

 Item 1) My problem with the many worlds interpretation of QM.

The classical electron: Sean first lamentates that his colleagues have given up on trying to understand quantum mechanics. That is funny to watch because just a few minutes later he shows he has given up on trying to understand the classical electron.

At 8.55 minutes into the video Sean explains that a moving (or accelerating) electron brings a change in the electric field the electron produces. And this movement, this shaking, is what causes photons to go out of the electron.

Of course he only talks about the electric field of the electron, but photons are famous for being a magnetic field and electric field at the same time with some frequency. 

If electrons are magnetic dipoles, for most of the shaking you do to an electron the magnetic field will interfere with itself and cancel more or less out. Yet it is well known that there also are two kinds of circular photons, say left and right circular photons. In my view where the electrons carry magnetic charge, you will always get two different kind of photons. The difference is in the magnetic field: they are phase shifted by 180 degrees... 

I have to admit however that after all those years I still have poor understanding of what a photon actually is, I will never give up trying but I have also accepted that some person who is much smarter then me will may be one day finally solve it. 

The video has the title  A Brief History of Quantum Mechanics - with Sean Carroll
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hVmeOCJjOU
Or click on the picture:

 

Ok, now for the so called 'many worlds interpretation' of quantum mechanics. In a nutshell it says that everywhere where there is some quantum process going on, all possibilities will actually emerge and the world will split into the different possibilities every quantum split gives. 

Now I have a long list of problems with this, the most important is that for this to be possible all probabilities must always be rational numbers. Only if probabilities are rational numbers, you can get the same ratio's in 'new worlds'.

Simple example: We throw a dice with equal probability on each of it's six sides. According to the many worlds people the world will split into six versions and in each of those versions a different number from that dice came up.   

You can also say probabilities should come in quanta with rational relations between those. Suppose you have some probability event where there are only two outcomes say A and B. The probability of outcome P(A) is one half of the square root of 2 so for all probabilities to add up to 1 we must have P(B) = 1 - P(A). 

Tiny problem: The ratio P(A)/P(B) is not a rational number, so how the fuck do you split up this stuff in a whole lot of different worlds?

Of course, since Sean is one of those famous television physics professors, he just never addresses such tiny problems; from the explanation of the classical electron to the explanation of the many worlds thing, it is always highly entertaining but of course it is not science.

Let's leave it with that beside the tiny fact I also upload reason nr 82 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles in page five of the magnetic pages. So all in all it was a hilaric day with a tiny bit of real science. Till updates my dear reader.  

 

(04 Feb 2020) The Wuhan virus keeps on spreading, it could also give contamination via the so called fecal oral route... The real fatality rate in the entire population is still completely unknown but it could be that people who seek medical help have a fatality rate of about 15%.  

But today no more depressing viral news but let's celebrate Brexit! Today I was able to watch an entire video of about 30 minutes long with Boris Johnson holding a speech. Boris is often fun to watch and you do not need a bucket for your vomit like when you listen to donald trump aka Shithole One. Let's turn it into a simple example: Australian beef. 

Item 1) Australian beef and import tariffs.

 Item 1) Australian beef and import tariffs.

Suppose Europe has tariffs on meat coming from Australia, I don't know if that is actually the case but for the purpose of this example let's suppose it does. (Since beef is an agricultural product likely it has a tariff on it.) 

Suppose further there are no tariffs on meat between the UK & the EU and the UK enters a free trade arangement with Australia and from that point in time between the UK & Australia there are no tariffs on beef.

Of course when this happens, the EU is more or less forced to implement tariffs on beef coming from the UK and that is logical: If I cannot import beef from Australia but my nephew in the UK can and after that export it it the EU, it is clear my nephew has a so called unfair bias to his advantage.

It does no go with only with beef; every time for any product where the UK strikes such a deal against lower import tariffs then the EU has, there is a similar problem. The UK cannot eat 15 cakes and have them too while European citizens cannot trade that way, so additional tariffs on all that stuff has to come in place when it comes to trade between the UK & the EU.

So if we are able to strike a trade deal between the UK & the EU this year, best it that it would have some form of floating tariffs that will automatically rise depending on what deal the UK strikes with other nations. After all is that automatic tariff adjustment is already in the trade deal between the EU & UK, the UK can decide for herself what kind of trade deals they want with other nations.   

End of the example.

In case you want to see 30 minutes of Boris Johnson explaining his view on trade reality, here is the video with the strange title:

Boris Johnson threatens to COLLAPSE Brexit trade talks if EU insist we stick by their rules Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0Tg7jFSwQM  

Why this title of the video is so hysterical I don't know. May be it is because the video was published by the British tabloid the Sun. And likely the Sun is one of those tabloids that come up with news like 'The EU forces British cows to wear nappies' or 'The EU forbids UK male hairdressers to wear high heels'.

It has to be remarked that in the video Boris easily explains why free trade is important and I wholly agree with that. If entire countries can simply concentrate on their sectors in the economy that do it good, like our Dutch agricultural sector, and we can export and import as we like and see fit, that is better for the overall economy on a global scale.  

All the EU wants is a level playing field, as far as I know there is no reason for British cows to wear nappies. May be British so called journalists working for fantastic UK tabloids like the Sun wearing nappies is a good idea. After all if the Wuhan virus also spreads via the ass to mouth method, within two days all those tabloid journalists will have the Wuhan virus once only one of them would carry it... The British tabloids are good in the ass to mouth thing don't you think? 

Let me close this update with a screen shot from the Boris Johnson speech:

 

Ok, let's leave it with that. Don't forget about the 'floating tariffs' while recognizing free trade is good for global economical growth. Till updates. 

 

(28 Jan 2020) Wow that is some nasty new virus that emerged in China: an incubation time up to 14 days but during incubation already the virus spreads. And a spreading ratio over 1, that is every person with this virus contaminates on average over 1 new person. So I really wonder if this can be contained, this looks like a nasty combination. The only good thing is that it is not that lethal, mortality rate is only 3% but since this is a new virus this can change of course.  

As an antidote against so much troublesome news let us today look at another video from Australia on quantum stuff in general and dipole behavior in particular. 

Item 1) Why would (electric or magnetic) dipoles anti align?

 Item 1) Why would (electric or magnetic) dipoles anti align?

Electric dipoles are just pairs of particles close to each other like the electron & proton in a hydrogen atom. Ordinary water molecules are also dipoles. 

Dipoles can be attracted to other dipoles but most of the time they all will align in the same direction because as such they can form chains. Only when the distance between the two electrical charges is relatively large, it is possible that a pair forms that are anti aligned. Just like when you have two long bar magnets attract each other if you anti align them and put them together along the long sides.

From electrons it is known that they only pair up, never make structures like 3 or 4 electrons together, and that it is so called anti aligned (one is spin up, the other spin down relative to a vertical applied magnetic field). Furthermore it is known that the electric charge of the electron is as spherical as possible.

So my dear reader, if electrons only form pairs, can they be magnetic dipoles?

I think they can't be magnetic dipoles, but by now this is well known I hope. Only yesterday on the other website I used another video of Andrea Morello, it is important to emphasize I do not hate him or so. On the contrary, he even writes with his left hand just like I do. We left handed people are a superior sub species inside humanity... ;) 

So I crafted a nice heart shape in the next screen shot and if you click on it you will land at the Youtuve video I made the screen shot from. The title is quantum attraction and I simply think that electrons pair up because they have opposite magnetic charges and not some weird magnetic dipole property.

 

Link in the picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D9AuWEx0rA 

Ok, why the hell should dipoles anti align? Why not think about that a little bit?
Till updates my dear reader and don't get sick or so... Till updates. 

 

 (14 Jan 2020) At the end of last year I considered stopping with the magnetic pages. After all there is zero point zero response so just like with the higher dimensional complex numbers it is not important any longer what I write down. The only thing that is left important is that 'I know'. After if those university professors are that smart, why don't they figure it all out themselves?   

But rather soon I came across more nice stuff that confirms electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles and if the Parker solar probe brings good observational stuff around, why not write about it. So I opened page 5 in the series of magnetic pages.

Item 1) Ok ok, a new page on magnetics opened for this year 2020.

  Item 1) Ok ok, a new page on magnetics opened for this year 2020.

After a few video's of looking at the new found results from the NASA Parker solar probe I decided like ok ok, one more page on the magnetic stuff. But digging in a bit deeper, there was that rather confusing picture depending the result I was interested in: rapid changing direction of the local magnetic field. 

This is the confusing picture (if you click the picture you land on page 5 of the magnetic stuff): 

 

But later I remembered how the official version of solar spots more or less goes. It goes like this: 

Inside the sun there are all those magnetic bands going round.
But at the solar equator the rotation goes faster compare to the solar polar regions.
That causes those magnetic bands to knot like rubber bands.
That explodes and that causes those solar eruptions... 

For myself speaking I think this is a bizarre line of reasoning. But I never found anything more logical in those five years that I look for validation if the electron is a magnetic dipole or not. All in all it is thought that magnetism from inside the sun creates all that stuff at the solar surface. I think that most magnetism on the solar surface is locally generated by rotating plasma. View it as tornado like structures of plasma ending at the surface of the sun; basically they are electro magnets although of course the sun does not need copper wiring like we mere mortals do... ;) 

Ok, that was it for this update. See you around. (Magnetic page 5 was updated on 22 Jan, I was lucky to find back that bizarre explanation from the university of Glasgow. Go check it out.

 

(05 Jan 2020) Lately I observed some video from Sabine Hossenfelder and for some strange reason it does not leave my mind. Sabine is a physics female and she is funny because she dares to have comments on how this science all goes. And I often agree with her on stuff like no new giant LHC of over 20 billion €.

In the video that is about stuff that hinders scientific progress, Sabine is a bit too polite with things like 'cognitive bias' and 'social reinforcement'. For myself I use words like 'keeping each other stupid'. So that is our item for today:

Item 1) Is social reinforcement a thing that makes you stupid? 

 Item 1) Is social reinforcement a thing that makes you stupid?

Why can science stand so long outside reality for no reason at all? Scientific history is loaded with examples for that: The guy that figured out it was better to wash your hands properly and thoroughly when assisting females to give birth was ridiculed and it took about 70 years before better medical practices arrived at the scene.

Both the math guy Cantor and the physics guy Boltzman got their fair share of ridiculization. Yet at present day their work still stands...

Let me give you an example of what I have been working on the last years; the 3D complex numbers. In math you have a pair of theorems known as the Hurwitz 2, 4, 8 and the Frobenious theorem. Loosely speaking these theorems say that there are no division field like the complex plane possible in 3D space.
Yes this is true, a field is impossible but why do people think there is only 'nothing'? 

After all that is the math professor bias: 3D complex numbers cannot exist.
End of the example.

Example 2: People with tattoos. Tattoos are often a very individual expression and as such it materializes in the form of a picture on the human skin. So those who have a lot of tattoos have done a lot of individual expression, but from a distance they all look the same. 

Example 3: Math professors trying to think independently. If you are a math professor you are supposed to come up with smart stuff all of the time. But you work in an environment where the other professors are doing the same. Suppose you are that stupid to bring forward 3D complex numbers; that is not good for your career.  

In my view there are many ways science gets a long term hold on making progress. The 'keeping each other stupid' is an important stabilization process. On the other hand it is often better that progress is slow and evolutionary instead of a fresh shock every day.

So pop up a pint and enjoy the wisdom of Sabine Hossenfelder: 

 

Ok, let's leave it with that. Till updates.

 

(05 Dec 2019) Oh oh, the century long search for the magnetic monopole goes on and on. The weirdo's are looking for a particle that is a magnetic monopole and that's it. It is never mentioned that it could have electric charge or for that matter: it is a magnetic monopole but an electric dipole...

In this world there is never a shortage of idiots. 

Item 1) Hey weirdo's why don't you actually prove the electron is a magnetic dipole?

 Item 1) Hey weirdo's why don't you actually prove the electron is a magnetic dipole?

The year 2019 is walking on it's last days, so what do professional physics professors do? Actually prove for the very first time that the electrons is a magnetic dipole? 

Of course not, after all they get their salaries by just not doing that. 

Compared to my life (right now about 17 years of unemployment, never got just one job interview) these people behave very strange. 

Ok, if you have a paid job you must bow for the common wisdom. I understand that, if I would get 5000 € a month for telling people that Jesus is the son of God and Mary was still a virgin at the birth of Jesus, I would do that... 

Hey weirdo's from the field of physics, why don't you cough up some experimental evidence that the electron is actually a magnetic dipole?

Want some proof that the physics professionals are weirdo's? Here we go:

New result in hunt for mysterious magnetic monopoles

More weird stuff from LIGO: 

Searching for Magnetic Monopoles
https://labcit.ligo.caltech.edu/~BCBAct/talks00/Italy00/monopoles_1.pdf 

Oh oh, a new decade is on the horizon. When will physics pop up some experimental evidence that is needed? Come on, one new decade will likely not be enough time...

__________

Let's end my short rant with a joke:

If the many worlds theory of quantum mechanics is for real, in that case on many worlds they will have a better theory of the electron.

In case you think that is not funny, are you a weirdo too? 

Oops, before I forget it. A few days back I posted reason number 80 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles in the magnetic pages. Here is a link: 

Reason 80: Does magnetic reconnection disprove Gauss' law of magnetism?

End of this update.  

 

(25 Nov 2019) A small Brexit update. For years now I am figuring out what benefits there would be to the UK in leaving Europe and the European market. Until now I only found fishing, if the UK can ban all other countries from her territorial waters they will indeed have more fish... 

As a comparison, after Brexit all UK financial firms will be foreign companies operating in the EU, just a small change in regulation will bring much more damage. You need to catch an awful lot of fish to compensate for that. 

And, ha ha ha, may be the EU can slap 100% tariffs on UK fish since it is not non-EU fish... That would be funny. 

Item 1) Are UK financials going to Amsterdam?
Item 2) Why did I do that internet seach?

 Item 1) Are UK financials going to Amsterdam?

To put things a bit in perspective; exports from the Netherlands to the UK is about 3% of GDP. If Brexit goes wrong say about one third of that will disappear. So a damage of 1% of GDP. After a couple of month of natural growth of the economy the damage will be gone...

Yet it is more complicated; if those industrial supply chains get disrupted this could have all kinds of unforeseen consequences. Anyway, Fortune has a nice article telling us about the move to Amsterdam. For the Dutch economy this might be good, but the housing market is already under great pressure and those financial jobs often have high salaries. As such they can disrupt the Amsterdam housing market even more...  

In the Wake of Brexit, Amsterdam Is the New London
https://fortune.com/longform/brexit-amsterdam-the-new-london-europe-companies/ 

It is also election season in the UK and as such it is the time for hollow slogans. For myself speaking I have no idea what 'Unleash Britain's potential' actually means. That are words from some strange fantasy land. May be better would be the slogan 'At least we can eat fish'.  

 

Let's leave that strange process known as Brexit with that. 

 Item 2) Why did I do that internet search?

This evening I tried it one more time: do an internet search for 'Why do electrons pair up?'. And only nonsense comes up. For example the electron pair is magnetically neutral because one is spin up and the other with spin down compensates for that. 

Why did I do that stupid internet search? If it is true that the electron is a magnetic dipole, in that case it would be neutral for a magnetic field almost by definition. Just like atomic hydrogen is neutral for electric fields. But electrons are not neutral to magnetic fields while the electron pair is neutral for magnetism. 

What I do not understand is all those people explaining the importance of a 'spin up' combined with a 'spin down' is that they do not see they are talking nonsense. After all the impossibility of electrons to be magnetic dipoles is just highly logical. 

If the electron pair is neutral for magnetism and the unpaired electrons not, in that case it is not logical that electrons are magnetic dipoles. Hence they are magnetic monopoles... 

Why was I that stupid to search once more for that idiot nonsense? I might equally dumb slam my head with a rubber hammer every day, that is equally stupid... 

Ok, it is time to pop up a bottle of home brewed beer. By the way, I use British malts in all of my beers. All of a sudden I am in a panic that in the future I cannot use those specialty malts any more... Really true ;)  

Till updates my dear reader. 

 

(14 Nov 2019) Over in the USA the impeachment hearings of Shithole One (that's donald trump) have begun. It was really funny to observe those stupid republicans stating that 'There is one person that started this all. And this person, the whistle blower should also test before this hearing'. Of course one of the democrats was so witty to observe that he would love it if the person that started it all would testify before the House. If would be great if donald trump came over to testify... 

It is hard to say if Shithole One will actually be impeached, likely republican senators will support that mentally ill person known as Shithole One.

But I don't want to talk politics but the next cute video about the Casimir effect and black holes.

Item 1) The Casimir effect & black holes. 

Item 1) The Casimir effect & black holes. 

The video is 11 minutes long and goes about the uncertainty principle, the Casimir effect, energy in a vacuum and evaporation of black holes. 

First a few remarks: The uncertainty principle is often used to imply that in the vacuum of space all kinds of pairs of particles can jump in and out of existence. As long as it cannot be measured, it can exist. The problem I have with this is that it does not quantify anything. For example is there on average just one pair production every billion year in a space of a billion cubic light years? Or in one cubic centimeter a billion pairs produced every nano second? That is always swept under the carpet... 

Second remark: The Casimir effect can very well be explained by unpaired electrons with opposite magnetic charge and that as such those small metal plates attract each other pure on local magnetism. Remark the plates are pushed together to a distance of about one micro meter, that pushing act alone can ensure the electrons that feel repelled by the presence of the other metal plate to move to a position with less repel or even attraction. It was years ago I figured this out, at present day I am still met with a big wall of silence. Hendrik Casimir was a Dutch guy, for me it is a pity that Dutch physics professors at present day are just a bunch of cowards year in year out.
But hey, look at the local math professors who that for decades... Apparently it is an academic tradition to be a bunch of cowards just all of the time.  

The third and last remark is about Hawkin radiation: For years I suspected that Hawkin radiation of black holes was based on the Casimir effect. In the video they are not clear about that. Using the Casimir effect to estimate the energy density of a vacuum is known as the 'vacuum catastrophe' because they are about 120 orders of magnitude wrong. So I still don't know if Stephen Hawkin based his theory of vaporizing black holes on the result of the Casimir experiment or on other estimates of the vacuum zero-point energy.  

If based on the Casimir effect, the Hawkin radiation can also be thrown into the dustbin of history. Just like quantum computers based on electron spin, nuclear fusion reactors and so on and so on.  

Here are two screen shots in one picture, click on the picture to view the video from the Youtube channel Sixty Symbols: 

 

Youtube link in the above picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRcmqZkGOK4 

Ok, that was it for this update. As soon as I have found that Hawkin radiation is based on the results of the Dutch guy Hendrik Casimir I will use that as a future reason as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles... 

Till updates & as usual have a nice Brexit or try to get one. 

 

(05 Nov 2019) Oops, it is about time to update a bit because otherwise people will start to wonder if I am still alive... It is true I update a bit less lately but I also had other things to do and I did not have much to say. Of course all that Brexit stuff is still very interesting while that mentally ill donald trump thing has now told about 14 thousand lies during his presidency. Why people vote a mentally ill person as their president is unknown to me, latest crazy news: trump says no federal money for California wildfires... Why do you vote a mentally ill person into a position like that? 

But much more important is updates in the magnetic files and on the other website I was happy to place the post with the modified Dirichlet kernels. So that is the update for today.

Item 1) This update has links to two other updates.

  Item 1) This update has links to two other updates.

A few minutes ago I updates the magnetic files with reason number 79 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles. I found a very interesting video where people from a nuclear fusion startup under the name Tokamak Fusion explain that the merging to two magnetic fields leads to an extreme increase in the temperature of the fusion plasma. That is very interesting because one way or the other this is very very hard to explain if the electron is a magnetic dipole. 

If the electron was a magnetic dipole it would be neutral to magnetic fields just like atomic hydrogen is neutral to electric fields. It is very hard to communicate that to the physics community, why this is I don't know.

Anyway, click on the picture to land at reason number 79. 

 

On the other website I was happy to post a bit more on the modified Dirichlet kernels. Not that the math community will do anything with it but ignore it, for myself speaking it was a happy experience. Click on the picture if you want to see that boring part of my small mathematical life known as the modified Dirichlet kernels. 

 

File name: Two parametrizations for 3D exponential circles.

Ok, that was it. Have a nice Brexit or try to get one. 

   

(14 Oct 2019) Correction: In the previous update I made a stupid fault, an AU or an astronomical unit is not 150 billion but 150 million km. Ok, in this update I want to take a short look at a part of the Nobel prize in physics and compare that to advances in nuclear fusion, spintronics and all quantum computers based on electron spin. 

Item 1) From perfection to total misery.

 Item 1) From perfection to total misery.

Back in the year 1995 (that's 24 years ago) two guys figured out that on a distance of about 50 light years there was a huge planet going around a solar type star. Likely that planet is one of those hot Jupiters because it is going round that star every four days. Anyway that causes that star 51-Pegasi to sway back and forwards with a maximum speed of about 50 meters per second. 

The stunning detail is that this speed of the star gives red and blue shift and they were able to measure that two and a half decade ago. 

If you think about that, this is a stunning technical perfection. And if you think a bit longer about that, because this can be done it is very likely that all physics where Dopler shift is related to is likely all correct. May be on some details there could be something wrong or not entirely correct but the important and basal things like the speed of light is the same for every observes & stuff like this must be correct. 

On the Sixty Symbols channel they have a good explanation for the 2019 Nobel prize in physics, from that video you see a screen shot of a part of the original 1995 paper that graphs the speed of the star: 

 

Link in the picture:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq-atYZFKPQ

Again, this is a very tiny red & blue shift but if the basis theory is good things like this can be done. Remark that for things like Doppler shift there is no use of electrons except as the usual power source of all used gear. 

Now compare that to fields like nuclear fusion, spintronics and quantum computers based on electron spin. Likely nothing of these are going to fly ever because the basic assumption that electrons are magnetic dipoles is, in my view, not correct.

Nuclear fusion is still a disaster, the plasma does not behave as the theory says it should. Spintronics is so unknown because it produces also nothing but fair is fair for quantum computers there still is hope. But again: if the magnetic properties of the electron are not dipole but monopole in character, likely those quantum computers will never work properly too. 

As an example: There are two kinds of circular photons, left spin and right spin. If you view electrons as magnetic monopoles, it is obvious you get two different circular photons. But all those years I never found a good explanation that uses the official version that electrons are magnetic dipoles is given. It just isn't there; it is a void out there when it comes to details like that. 

Ok, let me leave it with that. Till updates.  

 

(06 Oct 2019) This week is Nobel prize week so it is going to be an interesting week. Of course physics will draw a lot of attention and for myself speaking I am curious if the winner this year is also a staunch believer of electrons being magnetic dipoles. Of course medicine is always interesting too while who gives a shit about the Noble prize in literature? No math author has ever won that prize so I can't care less... 

Since it is the Nobel week of the year, why not explain that if electrons are like this years winner thinks so, life on earth would not be possible if that were true... The solar wind would be very different.

Item 1) They say in the quantum world everything is just different.

  Item 1) They say in the quantum world everything is just different.

At first when I heard all that blah blah that the quantum world is very different, I simply shrug my shoulders. Why would that be I asked. It turned out that electrons never drink beer and that led me to a long long route of deep thinking. Ok ok as a electron and you live inside the sun, it is hard to get a beer because it is just too hot over there.  

So later in life I accepted that the quantum realm is very different, of course I kept on hoping and dreaming that if an electron can be in two places at the same time, why not sip two pints? And as the years passed I accepted the weird quantum effect that electrons never drink beer...  

Now serious, let's talk solar wind, the electrons in particular. Professional physics professors (the ppp) often state that 'electrons can only follow magnetic field lines'. That must be one of the not true things out there that are widely told day in day out. 

Suppose the electron is still a fair distance from the earth and has a speed of let's say 6 km/sec. If on that distance the earth magnetic field is extremely weak, why should the electron follow magnetic field lines? If the earth magnetic field is extremely weak the Lorentz force is also very weak, beside this there is also something like the law of conservation of momentum. 

Given the large distance of 1 AU (that's about 150 million km) between the sun and the earth, the electron trajectories will be more or less parallel. If it is true that electrons can only follow magnetic field lines, at what point in time will they do that and why? Suppose that nonsense is true and an electron follows indeed the earth magnetic field lines, in that case it's original speed and momentum is void and gone and all that is left is a tiny bit of speed that is pointing upwards to the north pole or a tiny bit of speed downwards towards the south pole of the earth. 

If it is true that an electron is a magnetic dipole, in that case it cannot be accelerated by magnetic fields in any meaningful way. So how come we have the aurora's? Very slow moving electrons are rather bad at ionizing the air but for centuries it is a fact of life that the aurora's are there and present day understanding is ionization.

Below you see the ionization (the picture is from Getty images): 

 

But if electrons are not significantly accelerated by the earth magnetic field, why do they ionize the polar skies? 

If my version of electron spin carries more truth, in that case a long distance from the earth the earth magnetic field starts separating the electrons in their monopole magnetic states. And all the time they get accelerated and that likely explains the ionization... 

Ok, let me leave it with that. Have a nice week and let's observe if the winners of the physics Nobel prize this weeks are full blown believers in the blah blah of official electron spin. 

Till updates. 

 

(26 Sept 2019) It is about time to post a new update, it is not that I have done nothing but lately I picked up some old hobbies again and I have been wasting time with that. Also I managed to read zero news on a lot of days, yes there were even a few days with zero internet access at all.

It is highly refreshing and it is good for your mood because there is always so much stupid and annoying new out there. For example I almost never read news any more if it is related to the USA because I just don't want to know how Shithole One (that's donald trump) this makes it to the news.  

But I found a perfect video, only 25 minutes long (so I hope that falls within your attention span) about weight loss and all the hormones involved.  

Item 1) A good video on hormones and obesity.

 Item 1) A good video on hormones and obesity.

The food industry combined with the diverse academia is going on with the nonsense of you must eat carbs otherwise your glucose householding in your body gets disturbed. But instead of quoting the official nonsense from university people (like in this shitty article from the Dutch AD, the article is in Dutch by the way) 

Here is the youtbe video, Dr. Lucy Burns - 'The Hormonal Approach To Treating Obesity'. Link,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlprNSkEcdo

Here are a few screen shots from the video, the first one shows you a bit what stuff insulin does. Like said before, insulin is the hormone that takes care of dangerously high blood sugar levels and it ensures all fat burning stops.

 

Below you se so called Kraft patterns, only the blue line is healthy. If you become fatter and fatter insulin works worse and worse. That is known as insulin resistance, the body compensates with higher and higher levels of insulin and as a result you can´t burn fat 24 hours a day. That is the main driver in the obesity epidemic. 

 

In the next small screen shot you see the extreme difference between a fasting insulin level and after eating carbs:

 

All in all weight loss is achievable if you are willing to skip all of most of those addictive carb foods. If you don´t do that you will only do the so called jo jo thing and swing back to your old weight.  

Ok, that was it. Till updates. 

 

(04 Sept 2019) I more or less reserve this space on this website for funny political news like the fact the UK Boris Johnson government has lost it' s majority yesterday. That is funny news in the ongoing saga of how to leave the EU with all that Brexit stuff going around. 

So I do not talk about magnetism very much around here, yet today I updated the reasons as why an electron cannot be a magnetic dipole. This time it is more or less an open problem and it' s name is Reason number 77. 

Item 1) Electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles: Reason number 77.

 Item 1) Electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles: Reason number 77.

This year in order to avoid wasting too much time, I decided to post only one reason a month as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles. 

After all after thinking about five + years on this subject, not much is happening in the universe of academics. It after five years nothing has happened, likely in the next five years this will be the same. 

In practice this means that in the year 2024 the physics professors will still explain the world of electrons via them being magnetic dipoles. 

So while we are still in the year 2019, why waste too much time on people like that? That is not a wise placement of that precious commodity known as time.  

But I am still updating the magnetic pages because contrary to the university professors, I still have some honor left. It is only minimal, at most once a month & that' s it. 

For the month of September I selected an open problem that I do not understand completely. What exactly happens at the Curie temperature?  

Click on the next picture to land at reason number 77 as why electrons cannot be magnetic dipoles: 

 

That was it for this boring update. Till updates. 

 

 (27 Aug 2019) Last week I came across a very stupid news article that explains that eating bread is no problem at all and the only reason you get fat or are too fat is that you eat too much... At first I decided to completely neglect it, you cannot react to all nonsense out there. But the stupid advice was given by 'diet experts', that is a profession here in my country that help people losing weight. So a few days later I decided to pick this nonsense up because it is just as stupid a math professors talking about complex numbers or physics professors talking about electron spin. It is bs.

Item 1) Can you loose weight while keep on eating bread?

  Item 1) Can you loose weight while keep on eating bread?

We go back to the year 2005 and with my children we go on a bicycle holiday through Germany. About 2.5 weeks and since I had gained a few kilo's I decided to try and loose some pounds of fat. The basic idea was very simple: I only eat two slices of bread every morning and nothing during the day and in the evening I eat normal again. 

It was hard, it was no fun but I just guessed it had to be this way. After all I did know nothing of food and only thought that consuming less calories is the only way to shed the pounds off. Anyway after two+ weeks of suffering we were back home and I weighed my body and to my frustration I had lost only two kilo! 

So I simply gave up; if I wanted to loose 10 to 12 kilo that would be a long time of suffering. I caved in, I gave up and returned to eating more without any regards. In the year 2011 I hit the mark of 109 kilo and it dawned on me I really had to do something... 

I started to study as why so many people are so fat and how this process of getting fatter and fatter actually works. The first eye opener was when I came across that medical doctor that claimed that after eating bread all fat burning stops for a long time until your insulin levels are low enough. I really had a WTF is this kind of moment, but indeed your body is  not a machine that works like an equation calories in = calories out. That stupid equation says you will always loose fat if you just eat less calories. 

No, if you eat too much of the wrong foods like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet beverages & so on, your insulin levels are too high for too long and you can never burn body fat. On the contrary, your body wants to get rid of all that sugar stuff because high blood sugar levels are unhealthy and that is the simple to understand task of the hormone insulin. (That is a simplification because that is only one of the tasks of insulin, but anyway let's keep it simple.) 

So in the year 2011 I started to do the simple things like more exercise and less calories eating. And less and less carbs, I lost more and more weight until I was 88 kilo. Hey shit, that was not my goal because my goal was 80 kilo. But even if I bicycled 500 km a week, my body just refused to go below 88 kg. 

I also started eating some health product of Unilever for baking, they advertised it as having 3 times the amount of omega fats compared to olive oil. No idea why I fell for that marketing scam because that baking product contains taste enhancers. So it is not food but an industrial product. Anyway because of the taste enhancers I developed a gluten allergy in about 2 months time... 

Let me spare you all the details but I had to give up all things with wheat in it, at first I was rather angry at Unilever; why make such a fucking stupid product at all? But stopping all wheat stuff was remarkable good for my body. And I started to loose weight again, what before was a serious barrier or the so called 'plateau effect' simply wasn't there anymore. 

All in all I developed a way of eating that simply avoids insulin rising too much. In this regard it is handy to look up the foods in a glycemic index (like this one from the university of Sidney). Only later I found out that this style of eating is very similar to the keto diet. A thing most people not take into account that a temporary diet never works, you got fat by eating the wrong composition of food in the first place. So a temporary change and going back to your old ways will always fail.

I am under the impression that if you age, your raised insulin levels decline slower and slower. For example that means that for example you are in your twenties and you eat two slices of bread with jam. May be after 3 hours your insulin levels are low enough to get the fat burning on again. But if you are 40 or 50 years of age this might easily take twice as much time. So you never go to burning fat and you only feel hungry and start eating again while your body cannot tap into that huge fat storage it has... 

I am sorry the stupid news article is in the Dutch language. But I am pretty confident that if you live in another country you will find similar stupid stuff. Cutting calories is nonsense. For example is your car getting fatter because it guzzles up too much gasoline at the local gasoline pump? No, a car is a machine while fat storage & burning is mostly driven by hormones.

For the Dutch: click on the picture to land at the Algemeen Dagblad rand debiel artikel: 

 

A few words in Dutch because it is in the Dutch language:

Al die achterlijke dietistes die rand debiel voedsel advies geven moeten toch echt eens zo'n glycemic index bekijken. Brood kan echt niet voor mensen met insuline resistentie oftewel zij die diabetes type 2 hebben.

Ach nu we toch in het Nederlands aan het lullen zijn: hoe komt het dat er elke dag 164 nieuwe diabetes type 2 mensen bijkomen in Nederland? Nou dat komt omdat al die achterlijke dietistes brood blijven promoten terwijl zulk advies de problemen niet oplost. Hier is nog een grappig artikel uit hetzelfde AD:

Hoe het komt dat er elke dag 164 nieuwe diabetespatiënten bij komen
https://www.ad.nl/gezond/hoe-het-komt-dat-er-elke-dag-164-
nieuwe-diabetespatienten-bij-komen~a9582944/ 

Ok, let's leave it with that stupid nonsense. Till updates.   

 

(13 Aug 2019) The global cycling network had a nice video out where they ponder if for professional cyclist it makes sense to go on the keto diet.  

The video title is:  Are Ketogenic Diets Better For Cycling Weight Loss?

And, in my view, the answer is yes. The keto diet is more or less the only way of eating that ensures your insulin levels stay low and only if insulin levels are low enough your body fat will burn. 

Item 1) Keto for cyclists?

  Item 1) Keto for cyclists?

All in all the video contains not much faults, but it is clearly made by people who consume a lot of carbohydrates. Professional cyclists like those Tour de France professional riders eat about 80 gram of carbs every hour while racing. 

Compare that to at most 50 gram a day for a strict keto way of eating... 

When it comes to weight loss, of course you should skip carbs as much as possible but for a professional bicycle rider I think you should only do that during times where you don't have nasty races like the Tour the France.

Evolution has given us humans a body that has about 2000 Cal of glycogen, but there is no mechanism to steer the glycogen around in your body when you need it. The glycogen stored in your muscles are there for a fast burst of energy when you need it.  

The fat storage is at least 100 thousand Cal, but if you eat carbs you cannot use that large vault of stored calories because carbs quicly break down to glucose and too high glucose levels in your blood are poisonous. As such insulin levels rise to remove the glucose from the blood and all fat burning stops.

When you are young, insulin levels can decline faster compared to when you get older. So young people can turn into fat burning while racing but we all know of the infamous 'hunger blast'. If those guys forget to eat for a few hours, all of a sudden they are out of energy and it's too late to eat a bit of carbs. They have to eat all of the time otherwise disaster strikes... 

Let me keep this update short: At 6.50 in the video the presentator claims you need about 20% more oxygen to burn fat compared to the glucose from the carbs. I don't know if that is true or not but your body makes far less CO2 and CO2 is often the reason you are 'out of breath'. Being out of breath is often not a lack of oxygen intake but a desperate attempt of your body to get rid of the CO2. 

But let me not put salt on snails, it is a good thing professional cyclist are starting to think about the stuff they eat. In the next picture that is a screen shot from the video you see how keto food is often presented: lots of meat for no reason at all.
It clearly lacks enough salad & if you want to view the GCN video you have to click on the picture:  

 

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dggm2eGlCw 

So the professional sports folks can think a bit about the next: If glucose was such an important energy source for your body, why the hell can your body not shove around the glycogen?

End of this update. See ya around. 

 

(04 Aug 2019) It is now less then 100 days away & as we are told Brexit is now going to happen. With or without a deal, it's going to happen. Ok Boris & friends, bring it on...  

For me it is important that the UK crashes out without a deal because that is what I predicted last year (in Oct or so). The new UK government says a new deal can be made without the undemocratic backstop. That is hard to swallow, we need a border simply because there will be a border needed just like in the rest of Europe with outside Europe. 

Don't forget the British themselves came up with the backstop as a way to solve the border issue, that is how the stuff got into it in the first place. And now it is 'undemocratic'? 
And on the scale of things, we in Europe now need to protect the internal market because our economical interests in that outweigh the economical ties with the UK. 

So I do not think there will be 'flexibility' and other weird stuff; the UK is going out and as such there will be a border. Please come with a workable solution and not only words like 'A technical solution is possible'. Come on: automating all border trade within 100 days is nonsense of course. Why should we waste time on that? 

Item 1) What do you think of Boris Johnson?

 Item 1) What do you think of Boris Johnson?

Boris is often compared to donald trump, I think that goes too far because it is clear for years trump is mentally ill (I think you can find that in a medical scan, his brain just does not work properly) while Boris is by far not that lunatic. 

It has to be remarked however that Boris also has a history of making stuff up. I do not know if it is true but the story goes that on his job as a journalist he made up stuff that people allegedly had said. For example: Boris Johnson said he likes the ladies ass to mouth all evening long.  

That is not true, I just made it up. But as a journalist you do that, you get fired.

In my view Boris is much more advanced compared to donald trump, but being advanced is not what we need. We need a person as the UK pm that has a clear view on political reality. And I think that is lacking, too much blah blah blah made up on the spot and not carefully thought trough. 

 

Source of the picture used:  UK throws down gauntlet to EU over Brexit.

Ok, let me leave it with that. Have a nice no deal Brexit please (otherwise I would look like a fool, an idiot, a guy standing next to reality, his electron stuff is also so bizarre & so on and so on). Till updates my dear reader. 

 

(28 July 2019) This update upon Alzheimer is in Dutch because it was a Dutch news article that in my view 'is stupid enough' to make some comments upon. Back in 2005 somebody found out that Alzheimer in laboratory mice always had insulin resistance in the brain. If the brain of a mouse or a human has indeed insulin resistance that means the insulin does not work any more and as such the brain cells cannot take up glucose for use as an energy source.  

So what happens if a person with insulin resistance in the brain eat carbs (or drinks Coca Cola)? Very simple: insulin levels rise while all fat burning stops and as such it is guaranteed the brain will go on with a lack of energy for many hours after such stupid food is consumed... 

Item 1) Vader Ron heeft het, zoon Niels onderzoekt het...

 Item 1) Vader Ron heeft het, zoon Niels onderzoekt het...

Het AD heeft een 'voldoende stom' artikel om even op te reageren. Hier is een link: 

Vader Ron heeft het, zoon Niels onderzoekt het: ‘de waardeloze ziekte’ Alzheimer
https://www.ad.nl/gezond/vader-ron-heeft-het-zoon-niels-
onderzoekt-het-de-waardeloze-ziekte-alzheimer-br~a416f337/
?referrer=https://news.google.com/ 

Ok, stel dat Alzheimer oa als oorzaak een energie probleem heeft; de mensen weten niet dat hun hersenen reistent zijn tegen insuline (de insuline werkt niet meer) maar ze blijven maar koolhydraten eten want dat geeft kortstondig altijd een beetje energie. 

Misschien ken jij zo'n type wel: ze doen een extra schep suiker in de koffie om 'wat energie' te krijgen. Als je dat doet ben je 'carb addicted' en als je dat jaar in jaar uit blijft doen dan ga je er simpelweg aan. 

Je hebt helemaal geen koolhydraten in je dieet nodig; omdat glucose zo belangrijk is voor je lichaam (je rode bloed cellen hebben het nodig en inderdaad je hersenen ook) maakt je lichaam dit vanzelf wel. Glucose is een fucking simpel molekuul, het is niet als één of andere vitamine het is fucking simpel en je lever kan er plenty van maken.

Maar in onze cultuur is het normaal om de hele dag maar koolhydraten te consumeren, je mag vooral het ontbijt niet overslaan want dat is de belangrijkste maaltijd van de dag. En je moet toch echt drie maaltijden nemen want anders ga je teveel snacken....

Alleen een koolhydraat verslaafde kan met dat soort van onzin aankomen: net als bij heroine moeten koolhydraat verslaafden minstens elke zes uur wat eten. Omdat er niet of nouwelijks vetverbranding mogelijk is, is na een uur of zes de energie voorraad wel op.  

Als koolhydraten echt zo belangrijk zijn voor je lichaam, dan zouden al die miljoenen jaren van evolutie er wel voor gezorgd hebben dat je glucose beter kan opslaan. Maar dat is helemaal niet het geval: je lever maakt glycogeen van al dat suiker in je bloed en dat gaat oa naar de spieren maar er is geen enkel transport mechanisme van glucogeen als je het ergens nodig hebt.

Dus als je een glycogeen tekort in je beenspieren hebt dan is er niets dat extra glycogeen naar die spieren brengt. Dus evolutie zegt helemaal niet dat al dat koolhydraten voer zo belangrijk is.  

Ok, laat me een beetje citiren uit het achterlijke AD artikel. Vader Ron is dol op room broodjes en heeft een verzamel woede met Coca Cola. Zoon Niels staat erbij, kijkt erna en denkt van 'Waar gaat dit over?' 

Nou Niels, het gaat over het feit dat insuline resistentie in het brein ook bij slanke mensen kan want dan hebben ze gewoon geen insuline resistentie in de rest van hum lichaam En in het algemeen hebben mensen altijd veel voorraad van het spul waar ze verslaafd aan zijn.

Quote 1:

Zijn vader heeft trek in roombroodjes. Die obsessie duurt nu al een paar dagen. De teleurstelling begon toen Albert Heijn de broodjes niet in de schappen had liggen. Daarna werd het management gebeld, maar dat antwoord beviel hem niet. Hoezo waren de roombroodjes uitverkocht?  

Quote 2: 

Of het leidt tot dwangmatig gedrag: zoals bij zijn vader Ron (74), die behalve roombroodjes ook cola hamstert. ,,De hele voorraadkast staat inmiddels vol. Ik kan het medisch verklaren, maar soms denk ik: waar gaat dit over? Waarom is dit belangrijk?’’ 

Kommentaar: Dit is belangrijk omdat een verslaafde altijd grote angst heeft om met een tekort te zitten. Hoe meer voorraad hoe beter. 

 

Laat ik het hier maar bij houden: Al dat soort van onderzoek met geld van de medicijnen industrie zal nooit echt goed werken als Alzheimer vrij fundamenteel een energie probleem is van de hersenen. 

Tot opdatums mijn geachte lezer, till updates.

 

(22 July 2019) Oh oh, have you seen that video clip of Boris Johnson holding up a kipper (some kind of fish) and Boris begins lamentating that due to EU regulations this food cannot be delivered via the post but it has to be accompanied with a plastic bag of ice. 

Anyway it turns out this is not EU regulation at all but just internal UK stuff. So WTF is happening here? Either Boris Johnson is to stupid to differentiate between pure local laws and those induced by being a EU member or, a bit disturbing, he has more or less the same mental illness that donald trump has. As we know donald trump often makes stuff up on the place where he stands, if one day later he needs a 180 degree different position that is no problem. And on the next day donald claims all kinds of weird stuff perpendicular to what he previously made up, why is that a problem? We just blah blah on and tomorrow is another day. 

Hard to say what is going on with the brain of Boris Johnson, is it just being a bit sloppy, is he as dumb as the arse of Miss Piggy or does he more or less has the same kind of mental issues as the US prez? Well I guess we have to wait another day before a better estimation can be made. But if he has the 'just make it up syndrome' this is not good for future relations with the UK.  

But I don't want to talk politics because I waited over two years before I can publish the next item on the failure of Lockheed Martin to make nuclear fusion reactors. 

It is time to harvest & no silly political talk. 

Item 1) How does Lockheed Martin her fusion reactors go?

 Item 1) How does Lockheed Martin her fusion reactors go?

A few years back I came to the realization that if electrons carry magnetic charge, in that case all present nuclear fusion reactors will fail. Simply because the electrons will get much acceleration along the magnetic field lines and that will give rise to a ton of turbulence because the electrons depended on their magnetic charge will go left or right along the nuclear fusion chamber. (Left or right when viewed from above or so.)  

If remember it correctly, it was about two years back I more or less predicted that all those Lockheed Martin efforts will lead to just nothing. And those guys (it is often the guys that do the bluffing) predicted they could have mobile nuclear fusion reactors by the year 2019. 

Of course that would not happen I just thought back in the year 2017. So am I right or not? Well it is now the year 2019 and what do the Lockheed guys have to show up? Until now 0%. 

This is how the Lockheed Martin dreams looked about six years ago, if you click on the picture you get one of those Lockheed Martin propaganda video's: 

 

It is a pity I can't find back that video from a CEO kind of guy stating fusion plasma was diamagnetic and all those flaws in the tokamak design were related to the magnetic field becoming weaker in the neighborhood of the vessel wall. 

At Lockheed Martin, now we have all this new technology, the magnetic field becomes much stronger at the vessel wall of the fusion reactor. 

And more of that blah blah blah.

Never forget that from my side of the story told, where electrons carry magnetic charge and as such are the long sought magnetic monopoles, I need more time to see all those project fail. And fail and fail once more. 

In the meantime the university physics professors will keep on eating out of their noses, do a lot of naval staring & that's life.

Till updates. my dear reader. 

 

(12 July 2019) Back in the time, about 20 years back while going with the train to the nice city of Utrecht, I made a few simple calculations that gave the probabilities of the so called Benford law. 

I never worked on it again (as far as I remember anyway) but last week in the preprint archive I made a search for Benford's law and there were only three hits. Upon opening the first hit to my surprise I found some retired Japanese professor claiming that there was no distribution that gave the Benford law predictions precisely. 

So that is our item of today.  

Item 1) Are Japanese math professors crazy?

 Item 1) Are Japanese math professors crazy?

No idea what Benford's law is? Now in nature there are all kinds of numbers to be found and if you pick at random a few thousand of them, the leading digit in those numbers more often start with a 1 and only few start with a 9. 

Most people think that the probability for any leading digit should be the same, namely 1/9 just like the 1/6 in throwing a dice. But that is not the case. 

Anyway it is very easy to make a distribution that mimics the Benford law in great detail, to be precise: in all detail possible.  

If you know a bit about random variable it goes as next:
Let X have the uniform distribution on the half open interval [0, 1).
Let Y = 10^X so that $Y$ takes values in the half open interval [1, 10). 

It is now easy to calculate the probability of a leading digit in Y of say 6.
Or that the first five digits of Y are the first five digits of the number pi. 

You can think of those values as taken on by Y as the digits when we write numbers in the so called scientific notation. In a science like physics they do that all of the time. 

Ok ok, you must know a bit of calculating with probability distributions. But all in all the next calculations are not from the top of the high mountains in math. It is all rather basic.  

If you click on the picture you will land at the article of the Japanese math professor that claims that: 

Although there are many continuous classical distributions, to the author’s knowledge, none of them gives the Benford’s law exactly. 

So enjoy the calculation and if you don't pop open a fresh beer or drink some green tea or go for a walk or finally clean your refrigerator or say sorry to your cat for ignoring her emotions...  

 

Link in the picture:  https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.02031.pdf

Sorry that for some readers all that math is just a stupid update. But that Japanese math professionals cannot do better as this is utterly weird to me. 

See you in the next update. 

 

(01 July 2019) Oh oh, donald trump visiting North Korea? It is not a big secret I am not a big fan of donald trump because I think he is more or less mentally ill but it looks like the tensions with the NK are a bit fading lately. Any mentally normal US president would never visit North Korea so it looks like a case where a weirdo can do stuff no other president is capable of...  

May be in five years after the NK fired her first nuclear bomb I will regret writing the above words, but anyway all ways of lowering the tensions over there is welcome! 

But this update is not upon politics, I came across the weird information that the NAVY seals are going keto. This is at first strange to observe: Americans avoiding eating sugary stuff and carbs? That is like China declaring that a multi party system embedded in democracy is the best way forward... 

Item 1) Less CO2 production in your body, yes I can confirm that too.

 Item 1) Less CO2 production in your body, yes I can confirm that too.

It has indeed dawned on me that the last years I am never ever out of breath. In the human body if you exercise you produce more CO2 and that is the main factor driving for taking deeper breaths and more frequent breaths.

But the last years after changing my food intake I can confirm that indeed you produce a lot less CO2 if you avoid all that sugary stuff. I always blamed my age for that, I am now 55 years and your cruising speed on a bicycle goes down. In my country there are not that many mountains and the only elevations you meet on your bicycle are bridges or passovers over car roads and indeed: I never ever run out of breath or do observe a significant need for breathing deeper. 

The NAVY seals seem to study this because if you produce a lot less CO2 you can hold your breath a lot longer while under water. At first you think it is strange that ketone bodies produce less CO2 compared to the same amount of energy your body retrieves from glucose, but when it comes to CO2 production of your own body I can confirm it is true. 

I also remember when 30 kg back I was fat, if you climb the stairs you start to breath heavily. All that stuff is gone, so it must be true.

Ok, let me leave it with that. Till updates. 

 

(23 June 2019) After about five years some progress has been observed in the MH17 dossier. The downing of flight MH17 over the Ukraine was a sad thing but from day one I simply have been thinking that it makes much more logic if the BUK missiles were fired by a non-Ukrainian. After all if you have been born in that part of the Ukraine you would more or less know that there are civil planes in the sky because basically everyday when you look up you see them flying...

Item 1) No no Putin, I still do not buy that Russian bullshit version...

  Item 1) No no Putin, I still do not buy that Russian bullshit version...

For me it is still hard to swallow that there was no military support from Russia to the Ukraine rebels and that the applied BUK surface to air missile system was just some local Ukraine thing. 

Again Putin, my dear shithead, if you live there you see the civilian planes fly overhead day in day out year in year out. Furthermore I still regard the downing of MH17 as an accident but my main point has always been that it is very much more likely a stranger made the wrong interpretation. To soon some radar info led to the wrong conclusion and as such a civil plane was downed. 

Anyway, now we are a few years further down the timeline we observe that over time the economical sanctions really have hurt Russia. So from a strategically point of view we should push for a few decades of economical sanctions and hope lot's of other countries will do the same...

Let me end with a small quote (it is in Dutch, sorry), source link

Soerkov is in gesprek met voormalig separatistenleider Aleksandr Borodaj. Het gesprek is volgens het JIT opgenomen op de vrijdag voordat vlucht MH17 op 17 juli 2014 uit de lucht werd geschoten. Het zag er in die periode beroerd uit voor de separatisten, die in Oost-Oekraïne de Volksrepubliek Donetsk hadden uitgeroepen. Ze waren omsingeld door Oekraïense troepen, die het gebied wilden heroveren. Borodaj en zijn legerstaf belden verschillende keren met Rusland om met spoed militaire steun te krijgen.

Eerder vandaag noemde Borodaj het opgenomen telefoongesprek nep. ,,Er kan hier geen enkele sprake zijn van authenticiteit, de opname is niet echt. Zoiets heeft nooit plaatsgevonden, het is nep”, zei hij tegenover het Russische persbureau Interfax. 

Comment: So taped conversations are 'fake'... Well sometimes I have raised doubt about how smart the local law enforcement is (they tapped my phoneline for years too while it was clear only an idiot would do that) but my dear Dutch law enforcement folks would not fake such stuff. Suggesting such simple minded stuff makes me say: please a few more decades of economical sanctions against the Russian state. 

Here you see a reconstruction of the shot down parts of flight MH17, hey Putin is this a fake too? We never collected the debris in the Ukraine and we just glued a bit of stuff together and drink some Vodka later? 

Ok, that was it. Don't forget about the economical sanctions thing & thanks for your attention. Till updates.

 

(15 June 2019) I cleaned up this homepage because it became too long and as usual my dear homepage when I cut you in half once more, that was is cut off is placed in the archive stuff. This time it is index12.htm as you can also find in the archive oversight.

This update is only about my tiny ego feelings, so if you have a serious life better go do something else. But it is funny anyway, a few days back I almost fell asleep deep in the night and I made one little stupid picture search on the bing search engine.

And it was like veni vidi vici, a total victory for the 3D complex numbers!!!!! 

By the way, do you also HATE people that USE CAPS all of the TIME for NO reason AT ALL!!! while using far to many exclamation!!! MARKS!!!!! 

But when I look in the normal search of the bing search machine, my new website is just nowhere to be found. That is so weird that I decided to make a screen shot of it, so that is our item for today's update. 

Item 1) 3D complex numbers search on the bing search machine, veni vidi vici?????

 Item 1) 3D complex numbers search on the bing search machine, veni vidi vici?????

The bing search engine is supposed to be a more crude version of the Google thing or not? And as such bing is a bit more crude, but if you search for stuff like the calculation of the 7D number tau or search for that nice principle like The Jente principle, bing actually works.  

But if I search for 3D complex numbers, on bing.com I get an nice load of my own pictures while I cannot find my own 3dcomplexnumbers.net on the first five pages of normal links. 

Now I am not complaining because on page one of the normal search results you also have a few results of a picture search. And since I have a rather recognizable style of crafting pictures, it is not hard to see that only the left one is not mine: 

 

As you see on inspection: Six pictures of my stuff and on nr 1 a thing not mine. If you click on the picture you get a screenshot of the bing picture results. Ok ok, it is a bit veni vidi vici but I decided not to make some graphic art out of it.  

What I do not understand is why there is no normal link found in the non picture search results. After all, with picture search results like this, why should I complain?

19 June 2014; The noble are of product integration is a very seldom observed thing.
That is caused by the fact that in general math professors are relatively dumb people. Ok they are good in reproducing things from the past but a relative more advanced concept like a continuous product is met with a giant vacuum inside their brains.
So if those folks were talented they would use it and given the fact almost nobody uses it, the dire straits of average math departments is clear... 

Ten styles for product integration and product differentiation.  

09 Jan 2015: Later I rewrote the piece a little bit using the curly font from Richard Gill for writing the product integral. 

The content has not changed, the difference is only the curly symbol used... 

Ten styles for product integration and product differentiation with the curly notation

Some old math I wrote about 13 years ago, it is very simple to understand: you can differentiate and integrate all geometrical objects. And when you triangulate a landscape or a movie scene properly you can later in a computer change the position of the camera. Of course you need a new file format because the goody good mpg format won't work.
This might be of future interest for police or stuff like that (you can change the camera viewpoint to that of the victims or that of the criminals. Of course this is not a miracle; missing information can only be repaired at a certain level but anyway... The math is there and it is waiting to be used!
(Ok you also need geometrical integration but that's a cakewalk, some geometric projection theory, lots of self repairing codes and very very difficult: a good camera device. But if these conditions are met you can later change the camera viewpoint...)

Sayings from famous and unknown people that shed light on their insights and their emotional daily running system:

Phrase nr one (from Dubya or the present lame duck president of the USA):

"The reason we start a war is to fight a war, win a war, thereby causing no more war!"
--The first Presidential debate

Phrase nr two, also from Dubya but I have to pump it up from my memory so there might be some little faults in it (it was some weeks after the 911 attacks on the USA):

The enemy is so evil that most people in the USA do not know what they do why they do!

Phrase nr three from the former USA secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld (if my memory is correct he spoke these words in the week from 16 to 21 October 2001, at that point in time we were on the height of the anthrax scares): 

And it makes you wonder; How does he do it? And we would like to ask this person to come on over to our side and together fight the war on terror.

Phrase nr four is from me myself & I:

To understand your own 'logical thinking' you must know that logical thinking is only the first derivate of emotion. That is why all attempts towards artificial intelligence have failed: computers do not have emotion build in but we humans, like all other animals,  do.
The above mentioned three phrases of my enemies only expose their emotional system, lets destroy that system...

Phrase nr five is from US celebrity Donald Trump. A few weeks before this the famous Lancet report was published calculating Iraqi civil death toll at 650 thousand (this with a relatively large but acceptable standard deviation):

For myself I use 400 thousand killed.

Phrase nr six is from CNN's Larry King (CNN is received in 200 countries so therefore the CNN management thinks it's wise that Larry King can parade every day one or more American celebrities). When King was asked why he did not use the internet he responded:

There are a billion things on the internet.

Phrase nr seven is one more from the former US secretary of defense. After a few years in the war on terror he was asked what it all boiled down to. He said:

Can we kill the terrorists in a faster rate than the massandra's spit them out?

Phrase nr eight is from Osama bin Laden. The phrase is very worthwhile mentioning because the US CIA folks were in the past very satisfied with 'Just a few weapon deliveries and we lured the Russians into Afghanistan'.

When America needed us to fight their proxy war against Russia they supported us. The moment the Russians left Afghanistan we were irrelevant. 

Phrase nr nine is from US four star general Peter Pace, he made it during a memorial speech on 11 Sept 2006 (exactly five years after the 9/11 attacks from 2001).
At that point in time total US military death toll already stood above the number of civilians killed on 9/11/2001.

Right now the total amount of killed US military members is approaching the civil death toll from nine September 2001.

Phrase nr 10 is again from me myself & I. It is around the rebuilding of the organization after the military campaign in Afghanistan.

Make sure to imitate the way the German army was organized after world war one; That is make sure that every member can function properly until up three hierarchical layers higher. If you do that you can grow with an enormous speed in the future when this is needed.

Phrase nr eleven is also from me myself & I. It is to proof that I can be stupid too. I do not know when I wrote it but it was a long time ago.
I asked the Iraqis the next:

Can you hold on one more year? After that things will get better, I promise.

You just don't imagine how much I have regretted those words, after that the US military came with bonuses of up to 70 thousand dollars for enlisting / reenlisting and how could I have been so stupid as to not have foreseen this?
I mean the Americans run their country on the greenback & why was I outside reality? Why?

Phrase number twelve is from a peace loving female neighbor of mine, her name is Geertruida.

We people we can speak, so we should not fight war but speak with each other until our differences are solved.

Of course I had to remark: Because we have speech we are much better in making war compared to other animal species. 

Phrase nr thirteen is from the present al Qaida leader in Iraq. I mention it because I think it was a very important detail, it was made in his first statement after he took over from Zarqawi.

We need help from scientists, let it be in the field of communications, chemistry, medics, biologicals or whatever what. You can live your dream and kill the Americans on a large scale inside their bases. You can fulfill your scientific dreams.

Phrase nr fourteen is from CNN's war whore Christiana Armanpour. Why do I call a whore where in fact she is a respected senior correspondent?
That is because she understands the difference between a 'commodity driven war' and one that is not driven by that.
In the entire Iraqi war no CNN reporter has emphasized that Iraq is very much 'commodity driven' (read stealing the oil) but when Tony Blair resigns she says:

He wanted military assistance in Bosnia although there are no commodities over there.

(Or words of similar phrasing, I do not recall her exact words but they boiled down to the above.)
