Has God made the quantum world p-adic? Part I and II, by Veeravalli S. Varadarajan
Measure-Topology-and-Fractal-Geometry/Gerald-A-Edgar
Golden Mean is also about primes. 2, 3, 5, 7... is primes. A number n > 1 is prime if it cannot be written as a product of two factors a and b, both of which are larger than 1. If 1 were admitted as a prime, the precise statement of the theorem would require additional qualifications, since 3 could then be decomposed in different ways. Primes are applied in several routines in information technology, such as public-key cryptography, and also special types of primes, chiefly Mersenne primes, the prime number theorem, the unproven Riemann hypothesis (where a big sum of money waits its detector), etc. Ideas of Riemann in his 1859 paper on the zeta-function sketched a program which would lead to a proof of the prime number theorem. There are infinitely many prime numbers (Euclids theorem).
Euler's work in number theory included many results about primes. He showed the infinite series 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/11 + … is divergent. In 1747 he showed that the even perfect numbers are precisely the integers of the form 2p−1(2p − 1), where the second factor is a Mersenne prime.
Primes of the form 2^2^n + 1 are known as Fermat primes; Construction of a regular pentagon. 5 is a Fermat prime. Prime numbers p where 2p + 1 is also prime are known as Sophie Germain primes.
Many conjectures deal with the question whether an infinity of prime numbers subject to certain constraints exists. It is conjectured that there are infinitely many Fibonacci primes and infinitely many Mersenne primes, but not Fermat primes. It is not known whether or not there are an infinite number of prime Euclid numbers.
Calculating modulo n means that sums, differences and products are calculated as usual, but then only the remainder after division by n is considered. For example, let n = 7. Then, in modular arithmetic modulo 7, the sum 3 + 5 is 1 instead of 8, since 8 divided by 7 has remainder 1. Similarly, 6 + 1 = 0 modulo 7, 2 − 5 = 4 modulo 7 (since −3 + 7 = 4) and 3 · 4 = 5 modulo 7 (12 has remainder 5). Standard properties of addition and multiplication familiar from the number system of the integers or rational numbers remain valid, the set {0, 1, 2, ..., n − 1}, with addition and multiplication is denoted Z/nZ for all n. In the parlance of abstract algebra, it is a ring.
If G is a finite group and pn is the highest power of the prime p which divides the order of G, then G has a subgroup of order pn. Also, any group of prime order is cyclic (Lagrange's theorem). There is speculation that the zeros of the zeta function are connected to the energy levels of complex quantum systems.
Often a second, additional meaning is intended by using the word prime, namely that any object can be, essentially uniquely, decomposed into its prime components. For example, in knot theory, a prime knot is a knot which is indecomposable in the sense that it cannot be written as the knot sum of two nontrivial knots. Any knot can be uniquely expressed as a connected sum of prime knots. Prime models and prime 3-manifolds are other examples of this type.
Rings and p-adics gives topology.
In ring theory, the notion of number is generally replaced with that of ideal; prime ideals. Prime ideals are the points of algebro-geometric objects, via the notion of the spectrum of a ring. Arithmetic geometry also benefits from this notion, and many concepts exist in both geometry and number theory. In algebraic number theory, yet another generalization is used. A starting point for valuation theory is the p-adic valuations, where p is a prime number. It tells what highest power p divides a given number n. the p-adic norm is set up, which, in contrast to the usual absolute value, gets smaller when a number is multiplied by p. The completion of Q (the field of rational numbers) with respect to this norm leads to Qp, the field of p-adic numbers, as opposed to R, the reals, which are the completion with respect to the usual absolute value. To highlight the connection to primes, the absolute value is often called the infinite prime. Every such valuation yields a topology. The ring of p-adic integers has no zero divisors, so we can take the field of fractions to get the field Qp of p-adic numbers. The p-adic numbers contain the rational numbers Q and form a field of characteristic 0. This field cannot be turned into an ordered field. The relative topology on Z as a subset of Zp is called the p-adic topology on Z.
Mahndisa Rigmaiden shows you how you do. Fingers & Toes generate Mersenne Numbers. Oh My!
The topology of the set of p-adic integers is that of a Cantor set; the topology of the set of p-adic numbers is that of a Cantor set minus a point (which would naturally be called infinity).
Emergence of Prime Numbers as the Result of Evolutionary Strategy, is an article in Phys. Rev. Lett. 93:9 2004, by Campos et.al. I cit. "We investigate by means of a simple theoretical model the emergence of prime numbers as life cycles. The Magicicadas display an uncommon behavior: their emergence is synchronized and these periods are usually prime numbers." A life cycle is also a ring.
"we develop a spatially extended model at which preys and predators coexist and can change their evolutionary dynamics through the occurrence of mutations. We verified that prime numbers as life cycles emerge as a result of the evolution of the population. Our results seem to be a first step in order to prove that the development of such strategy is selectively advantageous, especially for those organisms that are highly vulnerable to attacks of predators."
Do you know what that is? It is quantum biology. You can read about it in TGD. Surprised?
Life cycles, rings, nerve pulse, cognition, consciousness, etc. What did they say? Life, is it life itself?

USA behind the Haiti earthquake???
In the news. A 'tectonic weapon' under testing by the United States caused the Haiti earthquake, according to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. This is something we have waited to hear from somebody. But could it really be so? Not even the Americans can be so crude?
Then I remember that it is USA that is most active in Haiti now. Why? Simply humanity?
US was 'playing God' by testing devices capable of creating eco-type catastrophes. He means HAARP of course. "Chavez said the killer earthquake followed a test of 'weapon of earthquakes' just offshore from Haiti." But that cannot be true? If it is HAARP it is not that close. Can HAARP really reach Haiti? "IF" we had such a weapon, why use it on Haiti? Better use it on Chavez and knock down his already crumbling oil infrastructure. A miss? I recall the weapon should be ready this year. Some fine adjustments left to do?
HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, is a study run in Alaska directed at the occasional reconfiguration of the properties of the Earth's ionosphere to improve satellite communications. The project receives funding from the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).
Then I look at the comments.
"The weapon may exist. If it does, it releases existing tectonic stress: It cannot create that stress."
"No-one today would be surprised if the u.s. used weapons of mass destruction wherever they like."
"OK, this farce has to stop. Chavez never said anything about US causing earthquakes and the like. An anonymous "opinion article" on the web page of "Vive", a Venezuelan state owned tv channel, has been distortedly presented by spanish paper ABC as Chavez's own words, to expose him as a paranoid. This is nothing but a story of journalistic malpractice - I dare say, lack of integrity and fraud.

Then an interesting note:
Tesla, you know the loon no one really likes talking about, created an earthquake machine.
Telegram, July 11, 1935 -
Nikola Tesla revealed that an earthquake which drew police and ambulances to the region of his laboratory at 48 E. Houston St., New York, in 1898, was the result of a little machine he was experimenting with at the time which "you could put in your overcoat pocket." The bewildered newspapermen pounced upon this as at least one thing they could understand and Nikola Tesla, "the father of modern electricity" told what had happened as follows:
Tesla stated, "I was experimenting with vibrations. I had one of my machines going and I wanted to see if I could get it in tune with the vibration of the building. I put it up notch after notch. There was a peculiar cracking sound. I asked my assistants where did the sound come from. They did not know. I put the machine up a few more notches. There was a louder cracking sound. I knew I was approaching the vibration of the steel building. I pushed the machine a little higher. "Suddenly all the heavy machinery in the place was flying around. I grabbed a hammer and broke the machine. The building would have been about our ears in another few minutes. Outside in the street there was pandemonium. The police and ambulances arrived. I told my assistants to say nothing. We told the police it must have been an earthquake. That's all they ever knew about it."
Some shrewd reporter asked Dr. Tesla at this point what he would need to destroy the Empire State Building and the doctor replied: "Vibration will do anything. It would only be necessary to step up the vibrations of the machine to fit the natural vibration of the building and the building would come crashing down. That's why soldiers break step crossing a bridge."
"On the occasion of his annual birthday celebration interview by the press on July 10, 1935 in his suite at the Hotel New Yorker, Tesla announced a method of transmitting mechanical energy accurately with minimal loss over any terrestrial distance, including a related new means of communication and a method, he claimed, which would facilitate the unerring location of underground mineral deposits. At that time he recalled the earth-trembling "quake" that brought police and ambulances rushing to the scene of his Houston Street laboratory while an experiment was in progress with one of his mechanical oscillators..."

I have heard something else about Tesla.
It Really Is A Musical Universe! by Dale Pond, November, 1999
""The universe consists solely of waves of motion." relates Walter Russell in chapter 31 of A New Concept of the Universe. Another way of saying this is: "There exists nothing other than vibration." In Russell's statement lies the base for his next blast at orthodoxy's belief in a material universe: "Any theory which cannot find a fitting place within the wave has no other place for it in Nature." Hard words for sure but can they stand up to scrutiny? Is it possible to create a paradigm of nature that is structured entirely on wave or vibration theory?"
It has already been done! It is quantum mechanics. Strings - and what?
"If the universe were chaos there would be no harmony but only degrees of chaos. All sound and vibration would be just plain noise. Noise, therefore is unorganized vibration. But none can doubt there is order recognizable throughout nature from the uniformity of atomic structures and behaviors to spiral galaxies whose swirling arms of orderly stars span light years and billions of years of activity. This innate order has been long recognized, researched and categorized and may be found in music theory. In vibratory terms disorderly vibration can be organized in terms of music principles. Therefore music is organized vibration or sound set in orderly principles of structure and behavior. The principles that make sound into harmonious music are the same principles that govern all associating vibrations throughout the universe - and that includes everything that there is."
Of course, of course, this is the nerve pulse. It is doing just this. It use noise to create order, or to select the important 'bits' that stand out. In music that 'order' sometimes follow the Golden Mean. At least for classical music. About this metal I don't know. Perhaps the meaning of it is just to create noise in the nerve system. Because the harmony can be reached both ways. That make it so trixy.
What is harmony?
John Keely say: "Any harmonic series or scale has a base frequency from which all its harmonics are derived. This base tone is called its fundamental or key note. In the chart a sub-harmonic of the musical note "C" is used as the fundamental or foundation upon which are self-generated a series of harmonics. This note has a frequency or rate of vibration of 256 cycles per second (cps) or a sub-octave harmonic of middle "C". The little squares contain a number representing the relative amplitude or power of this note compared to the other notes soon to be introduced.
As a natural process of creative force this fundamental tone will vibrate and this vibration will divide itself into its own super-harmonic of 512 cps (2 X 256) which will in turn divide ad infinitum according to natural law. Concurrently the number will also resonate and be sympathetic with sub-harmonics of 128, 64, etc. This process of dividing into smaller and smaller wavelengths is creative and evolutionary and according to the Law of Harmonic Vibrations: "All coherent aggregates are perpetually vibrating at a period-frequency corresponding to some harmonic ratio of the fundamental pitch of the vibrating body; this pitch is a multiple of the pitch of the atomole [a subatomic unit]."
Amazing. This is exactly the Golden Mean.
256 factors into: 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2. With this it can be seen the "C" family "gene" (factors) is constructed of a 1 and eight 2s or reduced to simply 1 and 2.
Vibrations are dynamic things not unlike living things. They are creative and evolutionary simultaneously. They are active and prolific in their dynamics as are their harmonic offspring. These discrete tones of the harmonics interact with each other as they intermingle. Being primarily number oriented they will, in a very natural way mix, merge and divide among themselves just like living cells as detailed in the Law of Cycles already mentioned, the Fibonacci series or Golden Mean and according to the Law of Harmonic Pitch: "Any aggregate in a state of vibration develops in addition to its fundamental pitch a series of vibration in symmetrical sub-multiple portions of itself, bearing ratios of one, two, three, or more times its fundamental pitch."
C1 will add its numerical value to C2 and create a third number: 768 cps. It can be seen the 768 is 3 times the original C1 of 256 cps while 512 cps is 2 times the Creator pitch. These terms of degrees of relativity are then 3 is to 2 as 768 is to 512 . The 3:2 (768:512 reduced to their least common denominators) ratio is a musical ratio of a Perfect Fifth. 768 factors into: 1X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X2X3. The "G" family "gene" is constructed of a 1, eight 2s and a 3. Reduced down we see a Fibonacci connection to the "C" family being 1 + 2 = 3 thus deriving all three "genes" or originating substance of the family. The Fibonacci series was developed as a result of analysis of the reproduction rate of rabbits, living things.
"The seceret of man's ability to control his universe lies in the knowledge of the tonal octave wave and its field. Therefore know the wave in all of its simplicity of three-times-three in numbered effect, multiplied to infinite complexity but still not passing beyond the three-times-three of man's easy comprehension."
"The seven intervals of creation resulting from Divine Voice (sound) and Light then evolutionary steps forming the material existence of Adam (C) and Eve (G), i.e., man and woman. In other words, Genesis is an ancient and enlightened scribe's attempt at detailing and conveying what they perceived as this creationist and evolutionary process of life becoming and being what it is - a rhythmic vibratory dance."
Proving then, it really is a Musical Universe! which is both created and evolved from its vibratory root of One demonstrating there is no conflict between concepts of a created universe and theories supporting material evolution.
Genesis records God as having said Light into Being but perhaps it would be more accurate to say God sang Light into Being as the prelude to our Cosmic dance?
Have you seen pictures of the planets travellings through the Cosmos? Also there is seen the Music of the Spheres, as one Phytagoras said. Hartmut Warm, ”Die Signatur der Sphären – Von der Ordnung im Sonnensystem” The order and movement of the planets in our solar system corresponds very accurately to simple geometrical figures and musical intervals, although in a different way than assumed in conventional concepts.

Spirals, very small and very big
I must write about some coincidences, that look rather peculiar - vortices.
First in a very small scale, then in a big scale. It reminds me of microcosmos and macrocosmos, and the holographic principle.
First in microscale, bacteria.
Swimming Bacteria Stir Up Fluid, from American Physics News Graphics, 2004.
The above picture shows a bacteria-induced fluid convection pattern in a half-inch-diameter fluid drop, viewed from above
The above picture shows the vector field of bacterial velocities at the bottom of a drop hanging from the bottom of a petri dish, at high magnification, with prominent regions of circulation evident.

Spiral Waves Break Hearts
Cardiac cells, when grown as a sheet of tissue, often exhibit spiral waves of electrical activity after two days in culture (see movie). Such spiral waves, which have been associated with abnormal rhythms in human hearts, may be a precursor to fatal cardiac rhythms such as ventricular fibrillation.
As the coupling in a heterogeneous excitable medium is reduced, three different types of behavior are encountered: plane waves propagate without breaking up, plane waves break up into spiral waves, and plane waves block. Blocking communication between the cardiac cells with a drug called heptanol (an agent that reduces the electrical coupling between cells) causes the spiral waves to break up into even more troublesome smaller spirals. Spiral wave breakup is believed to be a cause of ventricular fibrillation in human hearts(see movie).
A simulation closely reproduces the results of the above heptanol experiment. The model consists of cells irregularly distributed in space which are coupled to neighboring cells depending on their distance from each other. Shows the effect of reducing the size of the neighborhood of cell-cell interaction. For large neighborhoods, the wavefront is smooth. For small neighborhoods, the wavefront breaks into many small spiral waves.
Additional information at Gil Bub's website. With movies.
Reported by: Gil Bub, Alvin Shrier, and Leon Glass, Physical Review Letters, 4 Feb 2002.
A lengthy description of spirals in Gil Bub's thesis. Regrettably he uses the HH-model for the nerve pulse. A soliton-model should give a better picture.
Our Milky way is also a big spiral. But here I take an example in hurricanes. The question has always been, what is in the eye? In Milky Way a gigantic black hole? In a hurricane's eye is calmy weather. Why? Something like a black hole?
Hurricanes and tornadoes.
Then i saw a good video of a hurricane. New NASA research is providing clues about how air within and around the eye provides energy to help fuel the storm. This video combines simulation and observational data to illustrate the phenomenon.
The term hurricane is derived from Huracan, the name of a Mayan storm god. Over its lifetime, one of these massive storms can release as much energy as a million Hiroshima nuclear bombs.
Far enough from the equator - typically at latitudes of more than 10° - the Coriolis force associated with the rotation of the Earth sets the massive weather system spinning, with winds spiralling in towards the centre. Hurricanes can also contain very tall clouds called hot towers that stretch up to the ceiling of the troposphere. Hurricanes can continue to grow in size and ferocity as long as they are over warm waters.
NASA GSFC Scientific Visualization Studio
Hurricane Hot Towers
Hot towers achieve a fast movement of the air upwards. And the eye is not totally round and centred. That will do the difference. Definitely worth to see.
In the eyewall, warm air spirals upward, creating the hurricane's strongest winds. The speed of the winds in the eyewall is related to the diameter of the eye. Just as ice skaters spin faster when they pull their arms in, a hurricane's winds blow faster if its eye is small. If the eye widens, the winds decrease.
There is something with the tornados and the hurricanes, something with the energy I don't understand. Superconductionlike or solitonic? Let's look at Wikipedia.
The most intense of all atmospheric phenomena, tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust. For a vortex to be classified as a tornado, it must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. The winds of the tornado vortex and of constituent turbulent eddies, as well as airflow interaction with the surface and debris, contribute to the sounds. Funnel clouds also produce sounds. Funnel clouds and small tornadoes are reported as whistling, whining, humming, or the buzzing of innumerable bees or electricity, or more or less harmonic, whereas many tornadoes are reported as a continuous, deep rumbling, or an irregular sound of "noise".
Since many tornadoes are audible only in very close proximity, sound is not reliable warning of a tornado. And, any strong, damaging wind, even a severe hail volley or continuous thunder in a thunderstorm may produce a roaring sound. Tornadoes also produce identifiable inaudible infrasonic signatures and a detectable seismic signature.Tornadoes emit on the electromagnetic spectrum, with sferics and E-field effects. Lightning activity often decreases as a tornado reaches the surface. Electromagnetics and lightning have little or nothing to do directly with what drives tornadoes (tornadoes are basically a thermodynamic phenomenon), although there are likely connections with the storm and environment affecting both phenomena.
Fair weather waterspouts are less severe but far more common, and are similar to dust devils and landspouts.
What about the black hole?
A black hole is born when an object becomes unable to withstand the compressing force of its own gravity. Many objects (including our Earth and Sun) will never become black holes. Their gravity is not sufficient to overpower the atomic and nuclear forces of their interiors, which resist compression. But in more massive objects, gravity ultimately wins.
Stellar-mass black holes are born with a bang. They form when a very massive star (at least 25 times heavier than our Sun) runs out of nuclear fuel. The star then explodes as a supernova. What remains is a black hole, usually only a few times heavier than our Sun since the explosion has blown much of the stellar material away. - Oh, so many unclear things. Nuclear fuel is elemental particles. Dark matter is not the same at the center and outwards. Is it the dark matter that runs out?
The problem is that we don't know what gravity is. Can it be compared to pressure, as in low pressure weather forming hurricanes?
In supersymmetry, every fermion has a so-called "superpartner" which is a boson, and every boson has a fermion superpartner. Supersymmetry may also be able to explain the nature of dark matter. Finding the Higgs boson will be seen as a priority for the new LHC and Atlas, because it is fundamental to a complete understanding of matter. The theory is that all particles acquire their mass through interactions with an all-pervading field, called the Higgs field, which is carried by the Higgs boson. Some physicists have made an even more startling prediction about the LHC: that it is energetic enough to create mini-black holes. Mini-black holes are being created around us anyway.
Gas that falls into a black hole settles into a so-called accretion disk. Friction and magnetic fields in the disk cause the gas to heat and emit X-rays. Supermassive black holes can grow by consuming gas and dust from disks, as from a disk of dust and gas in the galaxy NGC 7052.
Magnetic fields near a spinning black hole can propel electrons outward in a jet along the rotation axis. The electrons produce bright radio waves.
Looking almost 11 billion years into the past, astronomers have measured the motions of stars for the first time in a very distant galaxy. They are whirling at a speed of one million miles per hour—about twice the speed of our Sun through the Milky Way. Even stranger, the galaxies are a fraction the size of our Milky Way, and so may have evolved over billions of years into the full-grown galaxies seen around us today. How galaxies grew so much in the past 10 billion years is an active area of research, and understanding the dynamics in these young compact galaxies is a key piece of evidence in eventually solving this puzzle.
There is a theory explaining this, TGD. And look at how a tornado get more speed, by narrowing the circular diameter.
The same function is probably also behind our receptors. Think of them as mini black holes :-) That is quantum biology.
First in a very small scale, then in a big scale. It reminds me of microcosmos and macrocosmos, and the holographic principle.
First in microscale, bacteria.

Spiral Waves Break Hearts
Cardiac cells, when grown as a sheet of tissue, often exhibit spiral waves of electrical activity after two days in culture (see movie). Such spiral waves, which have been associated with abnormal rhythms in human hearts, may be a precursor to fatal cardiac rhythms such as ventricular fibrillation.
As the coupling in a heterogeneous excitable medium is reduced, three different types of behavior are encountered: plane waves propagate without breaking up, plane waves break up into spiral waves, and plane waves block. Blocking communication between the cardiac cells with a drug called heptanol (an agent that reduces the electrical coupling between cells) causes the spiral waves to break up into even more troublesome smaller spirals. Spiral wave breakup is believed to be a cause of ventricular fibrillation in human hearts(see movie).
A simulation closely reproduces the results of the above heptanol experiment. The model consists of cells irregularly distributed in space which are coupled to neighboring cells depending on their distance from each other. Shows the effect of reducing the size of the neighborhood of cell-cell interaction. For large neighborhoods, the wavefront is smooth. For small neighborhoods, the wavefront breaks into many small spiral waves.

A lengthy description of spirals in Gil Bub's thesis. Regrettably he uses the HH-model for the nerve pulse. A soliton-model should give a better picture.
Our Milky way is also a big spiral. But here I take an example in hurricanes. The question has always been, what is in the eye? In Milky Way a gigantic black hole? In a hurricane's eye is calmy weather. Why? Something like a black hole?
Hurricanes and tornadoes.
Then i saw a good video of a hurricane. New NASA research is providing clues about how air within and around the eye provides energy to help fuel the storm. This video combines simulation and observational data to illustrate the phenomenon.
The term hurricane is derived from Huracan, the name of a Mayan storm god. Over its lifetime, one of these massive storms can release as much energy as a million Hiroshima nuclear bombs.
Far enough from the equator - typically at latitudes of more than 10° - the Coriolis force associated with the rotation of the Earth sets the massive weather system spinning, with winds spiralling in towards the centre. Hurricanes can also contain very tall clouds called hot towers that stretch up to the ceiling of the troposphere. Hurricanes can continue to grow in size and ferocity as long as they are over warm waters.

Hurricane Hot Towers
Hot towers achieve a fast movement of the air upwards. And the eye is not totally round and centred. That will do the difference. Definitely worth to see.
In the eyewall, warm air spirals upward, creating the hurricane's strongest winds. The speed of the winds in the eyewall is related to the diameter of the eye. Just as ice skaters spin faster when they pull their arms in, a hurricane's winds blow faster if its eye is small. If the eye widens, the winds decrease.
There is something with the tornados and the hurricanes, something with the energy I don't understand. Superconductionlike or solitonic? Let's look at Wikipedia.
The most intense of all atmospheric phenomena, tornadoes come in many shapes and sizes but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris and dust. For a vortex to be classified as a tornado, it must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base. The winds of the tornado vortex and of constituent turbulent eddies, as well as airflow interaction with the surface and debris, contribute to the sounds. Funnel clouds also produce sounds. Funnel clouds and small tornadoes are reported as whistling, whining, humming, or the buzzing of innumerable bees or electricity, or more or less harmonic, whereas many tornadoes are reported as a continuous, deep rumbling, or an irregular sound of "noise".
Since many tornadoes are audible only in very close proximity, sound is not reliable warning of a tornado. And, any strong, damaging wind, even a severe hail volley or continuous thunder in a thunderstorm may produce a roaring sound. Tornadoes also produce identifiable inaudible infrasonic signatures and a detectable seismic signature.Tornadoes emit on the electromagnetic spectrum, with sferics and E-field effects. Lightning activity often decreases as a tornado reaches the surface. Electromagnetics and lightning have little or nothing to do directly with what drives tornadoes (tornadoes are basically a thermodynamic phenomenon), although there are likely connections with the storm and environment affecting both phenomena.
Fair weather waterspouts are less severe but far more common, and are similar to dust devils and landspouts.
What about the black hole?
A black hole is born when an object becomes unable to withstand the compressing force of its own gravity. Many objects (including our Earth and Sun) will never become black holes. Their gravity is not sufficient to overpower the atomic and nuclear forces of their interiors, which resist compression. But in more massive objects, gravity ultimately wins.
Stellar-mass black holes are born with a bang. They form when a very massive star (at least 25 times heavier than our Sun) runs out of nuclear fuel. The star then explodes as a supernova. What remains is a black hole, usually only a few times heavier than our Sun since the explosion has blown much of the stellar material away. - Oh, so many unclear things. Nuclear fuel is elemental particles. Dark matter is not the same at the center and outwards. Is it the dark matter that runs out?
The problem is that we don't know what gravity is. Can it be compared to pressure, as in low pressure weather forming hurricanes?
In supersymmetry, every fermion has a so-called "superpartner" which is a boson, and every boson has a fermion superpartner. Supersymmetry may also be able to explain the nature of dark matter. Finding the Higgs boson will be seen as a priority for the new LHC and Atlas, because it is fundamental to a complete understanding of matter. The theory is that all particles acquire their mass through interactions with an all-pervading field, called the Higgs field, which is carried by the Higgs boson. Some physicists have made an even more startling prediction about the LHC: that it is energetic enough to create mini-black holes. Mini-black holes are being created around us anyway.
Gas that falls into a black hole settles into a so-called accretion disk. Friction and magnetic fields in the disk cause the gas to heat and emit X-rays. Supermassive black holes can grow by consuming gas and dust from disks, as from a disk of dust and gas in the galaxy NGC 7052.
Magnetic fields near a spinning black hole can propel electrons outward in a jet along the rotation axis. The electrons produce bright radio waves.

Climategate
A climategate link, with a lot to read http://wattsupwiththat.com/climategate/
As this: "John Pittman has found some interesting science in the Climategate emails: The treeline is an sensitive treemometer, since it is very sharply defined, a few kilometers broad. Trees grow, just barely, south of the treeline, they entirely fail to grow north of the treeline. During the Medieval climatic optimum 750-1450 trees grew north of the present day treeline, indicating that the medieval climatic optimum was warmer than today in the north. During the past century, 1897 to present, there has been no movement in the treeline, indicating no twentieth century warming in the north, none."
A good video at Nasas site with Richard B. Alley, http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/lectures/lecture_videos/A23A.shtml but long. There are so many facts I must study it carefully. Maybe the conclusions are not the right ones?
He works at Penn. State Univ. Speciality, relationships between Earth's cryosphere and global climate change. Alley was invited to testify about climate change by Vice President Al Gore, in 2003 by the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and again before the U.S. House Committee on Science and Technology in 2007. Alley's most recent testimony was due to his current role as a lead author of "Chapter 4: Observations: Changes in Snow, Ice and Frozen Ground" for the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He has participated in the joint UN/WMO panel since 1992, having been a contributing author to both the second and third IPCC assessment reports.
He also works at NASA as is seen in NASA Science Update Panelists Biographies
In the above site: The Climate Pool: NASA ends seven-year itch over carbon emissions
"The US space agency has just released seven years of carbon emissions data that link rapidly accelerated global warming to increased humidity, a move well-timed to quell growing controversy about data connected to global warming.
As world leaders prepared to meet Friday in Copenhagen at the end of two weeks of slow negotiations on climate change, NASA researchers in Pasadena, California, said late Tuesday that the data on carbon dioxide had been ”extensively validated”.
The data was collected by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA’s Aqua spacecraft. It measures carbon dioxide concentrations 5 to 12 kilometres above Earth’s surface and tracks its movement, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said.
Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, said AIRS observations confirmed climate model predictions that as the climate warms, the atmosphere would become more humid, thus more than doubling the warming effect of increased carbon dioxide.
”The implication of these studies is that, should greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current course of increase, we are virtually certain to see Earth’s climate warm by several degrees Celsius in the next century unless some strong negative feedback mechanism emerges elsewhere in Earth’s climate system,” Dessler said in a NASA statement.
NASA did not say why it chose this particular time to release its seven years of data."
My comment: Another physist (Lubos Motl) got the figure 0,0001 degree warmer. That is just nothing. Who is right?
A look at Google on 'climategate NASA' get 245000 hits. Among others:

I think this is enough for now.

Our Universe is bubbles within bubbles?
NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, spacecraft has made it possible for scientists to construct the first comprehensive sky map of our solar system and its location in the Milky Way galaxy. The new view will change the way researchers view and study the interaction between our galaxy and sun. I copy from the site.
The new map reveals the region that separates the nearest reaches of our galaxy, called the local interstellar medium, from our heliosphere -- a protective bubble that shields and protects our solar system from most of the dangerous cosmic radiation traveling through space.
Voyagers Journey to the Heliopause can be followd on NASAs site Science Update Visuals. It shows that just as the Earth has its magnetosphere, so have our whole solar system. See the video here. Winamp media file. Play preview animation. This animation starts at our sun and quickly zooms out from the solar system to reveal the heliosphere and its collision with interstellar gas. The two Voyager spacecraft are currently exploring this interaction region.
Voyagers 1 and 2 reached the termination shock in 2005 and 2007, respectively, taking point measurements as they left the solar system. Before IBEX, there was only data from these two points at the edge of the solar system. While exciting and valuable, the data they provided about this region raised more questions than they resolved. IBEX has filled in the entire interaction region, revealing surprising details completely unpredicted by any theories. IBEX completes one all-sky map every six months. IBEX completed the first map of the complex interactions occurring at the edge of the solar system (shown) this summer. Animation.
How IBEX Maps the Edge of the Heliosphere. With every spin of the spacecraft, IBEX maps out a strip of the sky, repeatedly imaging the same strip for an entire orbit. Once each orbit, IBEX is reoriented to point at the Sun, which moves the observations to a new strip. Over a six-month period, the entire sky get covered.
BEX simultaneously makes a total of fourteen maps at different energies. This movie shows several different maps, with the surprising bright ribbon visible in each of them. IBEX has two independent sensors, and this still shows that they are seeing a very similar structure.
The energylevel keeps the different maps apart? The Big Book a la TGD?
Just as the different frequencies in the body keeps memories apart? This is also discussed by Wal Thornhill. The results, reported as a bright, winding ribbon of unknown origin which bisects the maps, have taken researchers by surprise. However, the discovery fits the electric model of stars perfectly.
An auxiliary measurement made by IBEX is the detection of the interstellar gas that flows directly into the solar system. This shows the first observation of interstellar hydrogen and oxygen gas.
Illustrates one of the possibilities for the bright ribbon of emission seen in the IBEX ENA maps. The galactic magnetic field shapes the heliosphere as it drapes over it. The ribbon appears to trace the area where the magnetic field is most parallel to the surface of the heliosphere (the heliopause).

This image shows photographs of the heliospheres around other stars (called astrospheres) taken by a variety of telescopes.
The Sun’s movement through the Galaxy, animation.
Just like all other stars in the galaxy's flattened disk, the Sun slowly orbits the center of the galaxy like a horse on a merry-go-round, taking about 250 million years to go around once, gently bobbing up and down through the disk. As the Solar system travels through different parts of the Milky Way, the heliosphere's shape and size keep changing. The heliosphere protects us like a cocoon as the Sun and its planets travel through the Milky Way.
Cosmic Ray Shielding.
This graph depicts the fraction of high energy cosmic rays (greater than 100 MeV) that pass through the boundary of the solar system. 100% of them are present outside of the Bow Shock. There is a small dropoff in the number that make it through to the heliopause. More than 50% are stopped between the heliopause and termination shock, which is at approximately 100 AU. This leaves a fraction less than 25% to permeate to the inner solar system.
Formation of Energetic Neutral Atoms. Animation.
This animation shows how Energetic Neutral Atoms are made in the heliosheath when hot solar wind protons grab an electron from a cold interstellar gas atom. The ENAs can then easily travel back into the solar system, where some are collected by IBEX. The atom that is the result ducks with the IBEX. A fanciful picture.
The energetic neutral atoms are created in an area of our solar system known as the interstellar boundary region. This region is where charged particles from the sun, called the solar wind, flow outward far beyond the orbits of the planets and collide with material between stars. The energetic neutral atoms travel inward toward the sun from interstellar space at velocities ranging from 100,000 mph to more than 2.4 million mph. This interstellar boundary emits no light that can be collected by conventional telescopes.
