Revolution

Two hundred years ago, African slaves took over the rich half-island of Haiti and expelled the Europeans. The place became dirt-poor and unlivable. The process has reached the USA and the State of Georgia is now ruled mostly by Africans with disorderly lives. It makes me think that history is not proceeding as expected.  

Deep State (Argentina) vs. the Peronist Party

 

Argentine Judiciary sentenced the powerful Vice President and leader of the ruling Peronist Party to six years in jail. She is guilty of stealing billions of State monies. "The Parallel State and the Judicial Mafia condemned me", she said, "They are trying to cancel the Peronist Party". 

Argentina's hundred-year-old struggle between the 

Bourgeoisie

 and the destitute majority. The poor have no confidence in a serious, liberal government. Every time the Peronists were out of power, the government imposed cruel austerity measures on the poor, even famine. Peronism is a kind of populism that stole much public money but also took care to feed the poor. The outlook for Argentina is not good.

Pobre pais!

Quantum Fields of Gold

I never made promises lightly

And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Fun and Entertainment

I spent almost a day in bed (backache). Read an old textbook on matrices and reflected that this math area was developed 150 years ago when French and Scotts started to think about the properties of numbers. The next generation discovered that the universe strictly follows maths, from the temperature of faraway celestial bodies to rockets to the moon. The enigma of Newton's falling bodies has been solved: there are no gravitons nor gravitational waves, it is mass that changes the curvature of the spacetime membrane. As I walk on this membrane, my mass bends it. Illustration: Cirque du Soleil. All that follows numerical relations. I think we live in and are a mathematical simulation. It seems totally pointless but beautiful. Are we also just for fun and entertainment? 

SPACE PIONEERS

 

The ceremonial President of Israel, Adv. Itzhak Herzog, landed in Abu Dhabi. The tall guards in beige jalabiya are impressive. He lauded the cooperation in space exploration. "Our cooperation can turn our beautiful region into a global hub of climate solutions,” he said.

Mapping a hidden and improbable water supply piping

 

I had to do it on Saturday early morning because normally there is no parking in the area, not even illegally. Hard work in a hidden garden, and for this old fat Jew - dangerous too.
