the above article suggests that there is a trade-off between reproduction and longevity. Men pay a big price for male hormone.

 

 

Anybody got any other alternative suggestions why this is the case?

The data does not differentiate significantly enough to make sound the conclusions of the article.

Eunuchs have good life of leisure, low stress, low monetary procurement desires.

Long life could just as well be based on these traits.**

**male longevity

From JPL:

They are cautiously optimistic and will avoid a false-alarm statement.

The finding is not expected as something predicted to be found on Mars.

--This statement would seem to eliminate the finding to be of a life-form subject.

--This statement would not eliminate the possibility of the finding to be of a rare mineral, gem, isotope, ore, or meteor sample that would confirm some great truth about solar system dynamics.

This is Really Good News to me

 

The temperature it can/may create Gravity ?

It would imply that space and gravity are related, but I believe modern Physics already has that established.

The temperature differences between the reds and the blues in the original photo are very minor. I did not

include temperature variances in my thoughts. I don't know.

The original picture is this one...

Spacetime has three dimensions of space and one dimension of time.

If it is an energized spacetime fabric remnant, then it would be expanding as expected?

...What could it have been?...

1) Best chance it was incoming light from an exterior source.

Turn off the lights again, and get your eye or white paper down on the location.

2) Old smear of phosphorescent paint. Wipe on a section with an eraser and again shut off the lights, to check.

Proposal: The Universe we live in was initiated as a pinpoint location of the brief meeting/collision of two or more distinct objects--one being of a Planck-oriented space-time region, similar as our own (illustrated in the photo below) , and one of an unknown particle composition (perhaps dark matter-composed) structure(s).

We see in the pictures below an impression of what is clearly a debris remnant of a lattice field, most likely of space-time dynamical origin, an immensely expanded, yet preserved impression in the first light of the CMB. This space-time shard is encircled by a larger ring (see pic#4 of 4). If Planck length can be used to determine the size of these objects at a time before their collision (If Planck is a constant outside of our Universe) then some measurement estimates could be extrapolated).

By compressing the WMAP 7 year photo (process explained below), one can clearly make out the impression of what is nothing short of a cosmological "smoking gun" of the earliest evidence of universe dynamics revealed.

The CMB holds a great deal of data, some that can be easily coaxed by the amateur enthusiast-- PIC#1 (Photo courtesy NASA/JPL/WMAP):

By turning this photo onto its right-hand side, I then resized (compressed) its original image width, leaving the basic detail information undisturbed, and giving it a "landscape" appearance, by which to accentuate the larger details of the landscape, these details still recognizable from the original. A certain perception of structure not easily seen in the original, becomes more pronounced in this simple process--PIC#2

Lastly, to remove the color (temperature variations) to leave a black and white image-- PIC#3

The last photo I have added lines to denote some of the perceived lattice structure, and ring area seemingly bordering this structure remnant --Note too, the higher temperature "lines" running between the uniform "holes" in the structure-- (I assume higher temp, because they are red in the original photo)-- PIC#4

Conclusion: There should be other ways in which to interpret this data, but this seems conclusive of some structure composing the entirety of the CMB data, and therefore hints at its significance in it's initial moments. It would be impressive such a structured data-set could expand intact, throughout the tumultuous history of the early universe. The energy released would have to be very great on this piece of space-time lattice for its image to remain for us to examine.

--K.H.

As I have seen, though I don't have the statistics, the majority of those who believe a fetus is a person do so out of a religious belief. If this is so then abortion would be an advance toward freedom in that the laws are not constrained by religious doctrine. If there is stronger secular reasoning toward granting an embryo 'personhood' then abortion should be outlawed. The problem is that there does not seem to be strong evidence that it should be given that status without invoking religion, or some other appeal to emotion.

Your assumption is understandable, and your conclusions reasonable.

There is one other source of data not widely known or discussed, and it is first hand reports of people who's births were delayed (chemically), so as to return the fetus to the womb, until they could be delivered at a distant hospital, and not born in transit, or in a car.

I have been told by medical personnel, that this situation happens a lot, but I have no experience(s), other than my own, to report here to you.

Since that would be but one instance, and not a sound compilation of data from many sources, I will refrain from details of my remembered (memory) experience in this matter (Unless, of course, someone has further questions).

Well, this is wrong, and it's the fallacy that's at the heart of the abortion controversy. People with well-regulated lives assume everyone else's lives are like that as well, but that's not the reality of it. The context at conception is often very different from the context later on in the pregnancy or after a child is born. Men often skip out on women, or they show their true colors when faced with marriage and children when all they wanted was sex for an evening.

 

Saying the state should raise more responsible people doesn't negate the fact that abortions will always be sought, will always be necessary because life isn't perfect. It's barbaric to expect a woman to raise a child on her own, it's barbaric to risk her health on unsafe illegal abortion and no matter what education or prevention methods are made available, abortion will always need to remain an option.

 

It's insane to keep this chokehold on the idea of "life begins at conception". It doesn't begin there, it's an ongoing and developing process and it's hypocritical to attach some kind of overarching importance to that particular moment just because a sperm was successful at its job. Certainly the state should provide education and make birth control available, but abortion needs to be available as well because without it, we're not protecting the rights of women and we're not respecting the variables of reality.

I would clarify, but other variables were added to the conversation, and lost my train of thought on the issue. There is room for calm allowance of variable pathways caused by men who are irresponsible. There is much data to assume there is no rehabilitation for some alternate behaviors, and one shouldn't not be led to feel outside the mainstream, nor the state be able to maintain such an ideal state for child-raising purposes. I will go reread the start of this conversation, and reply further if interest is warranted.

Updated: After reflection of my earlier entries of this thread... adding the valuable additional variables given by "Phi for All", I conclude the state will fail at some point.

The original drive of my logic could be used to reset or reclaim stability in the state system, if such an act was desirable. At this juncture, it is not.

I'm not really sure if you are agreeing with my sarcasm or being sarcastic yourself. Partly because I'm not to sure what you are talking about. Is the woman the state who has the 'right and responsibility to raise her child', and does the man not have just as much right and responsibility? If not then how is it solely the states responsibility to train responsible adults when that is what goes in to raising them?

By concentrate on her child, I assume too she has an equally supportive husband. This is an ideal environment the state should be promoting-- since the time the wife and husband were children--birth to grave.

Those who have issues (that the state has failed to maintain training from birth to grave) must be rehabilitated. This is a complex form of retraining, which is different in nature for:

--irresponsible parents

--irresponsible children

--pregnant women who don't want to carry to term

--irresponsible parents who wont pay child support for a son who is irresponsible.

The above issues (I did not list them all) should not be a concern, distraction, to those birthed couples who are concentrating and responsible.

Rehab and training are two different worlds.

It is easier for the state to train everybody from childhood correctly, from the beginning, as the system is self-regulating.

Yes, because men bear no responsibility to take care of what they were half responsible for.

Yes, behind every irresponsible boy, is found irresponsibly trained adults.

The state has the prime responsibility in all aspects of training young men to be responsible.

A responsibly trained child is a responsibly prepared adult. They are one in the same.

I believe a woman has the right and responsibility to be allowed to concentrate on raising her children to adulthood.

This is a need of the state, to have healthy raised adults, as:

The state cannot end death, so it needs healthy replacement adults to continue the state in the best condition it can function.

Healthy as defined as physically and mentally sound, within a reasonable loose standard, to allow for freedom of expression,

with minimal costs in criminal and physiological trauma to the state as a whole.

The state must recognize the breakdown in state needs above, when it fails to mandate training of K-5 grade children in requirements

of the state, pitfalls of unplanned sexual behavior, birth-planning and preparation.

A state that cannot hold it's citizen's hand, from birth to grave, is a failed state, and must be remodeled to assume that status explained above.

I'm sorry I had to talk funny there. I was trying to get it right in my own head. To get to the root. I believe I did.

They will get caught someday, when all these pieces are gathered up for installation in Moon and Earth Museums (Like treasured Mummy displays and Orville and Wilbur's Airplane).

The moon is not for any one flag or sovereignty. That would be the main aspiration to plant a flag first. To take possession--that does not seem the case here.

Since I'm new here, and need to build up my numbers, I will venture a comment here, where I would not normally. Beg my indulgence.

Any American who steps out of American territorial boundaries without friendly local entourage (or an intimidating number of security, in

this case), is asking for trouble, or at least should be prepared for it. The Diplomatic Corps has it's own security structure.
