Big Bang bomb

Okay, I just figured this out and I need to get it written down. Something about the big bang theory has always bothered me, and there was something humanocentric about all these galaxies moving away from us, but not from each other.

But here's the final stake in the Heart. Okay, according to einsteins theory of relativity, 1) light moves at a constant rate, 2) the source of light emission can move at whatever speed it wants, the emitted light moves at the speed of light, period. Regardless of the velocity of the emitting source, the light wave is emitted in an unchanged state.

In order for us to see red shift via doppler, WE would have to be moving away from the lightwaves at the appropriate speeds. As illustrated in the image, it's impossible to move away from all sources in every direction. If the blue dot is us, and the red dots are the galaxies moving away from us the blue dot cannot move in a direction that could cause a red shift.

Further, the theory that galaxies are moving at velocities so incredible that they emission source is moving away from us sufficiently fast enough to produce the wave over an extended expanse of space has it's issues as well. The velocities needed to shift light would also create a noticable DIMINISHING of light within our observable attention span.. In short, Nearby galaxies would have to fade to the intensity of farther galaxies within the period of our observance, perhaps even within the measurment of a single evening's viewing. If they're moving away at 0.1 lightspeed the radiation sphere would be growing, relative to us at phenomenal rates, which would rapidly diminsh the avaliable light directed specifically at us.

The theories of red shift produced by gravity wells is entirely more plausible, though with disturbing consequenses to universal origin.

Cuddeback Shakedown

SoCal area burners:
A couple of us are organizing a little shakedown weekend. We
Have a few camp issues to work out so we thought we'd take
a weekend out in the most playa-like environnment that is readily
available: Cuddeback lake.

Bring your camps, art cars, DJs, whatever, and we can make a little
event of it. I'm sure a few of us can bring sound and fire... :)

Cuddeback lake is just north of the intersection of state highway 58
and interstate 395 (Kramer junction). The junction of those two
roads hosts a few gas stations, truck stops, and other facilities
guaranteeing close-by comfort if you need it. Just stop there and
ask for directions to the lake, it's pretty well marked. However, just to
make it easier to find each other, let's plan on the south side of the lake.

Little Armenia

So, Once again I find myself in a depressed area on the 4th. And, of course, there's a group of people just down the street lighting off illegal fireworks. Big group of kids. And, hey, whatcha know? I have another spinner with me so we can alternate spotting.

Yeah, I do it mostly because it's Independance day and I know the cops are too busy to deal with the likes of me. But I gotta say, I love doing these little street gigs. They don't expect it, they love it dearly, and this group even tipped.

Every time, there's the same elements: a gaggle of kids, a guy who thinks he's in charge of my show, a young stud with mad skills that "just wants to try it" and a concerned mom who must explain EVERYTHING about the act...even if it's wrong. The looks of fear and wonder, the amazement, and the joy. Throw in a few other studs too chicken to ask to borrow a staff, but need to know what fuel we're using and a few couples just enjoying the show and you got a great crowd.

Frankly it reminds me why I do it at all...

Piss Clear

Drink a whole, big thing of some nice clean water today. None of the 8oz crap, I mean you should be able to chug a lug.
Gettin ready for Burningman.....
