Secret stuffs

Make yourself invisible with LED lights!

I was in London recently being a gawking tourist, and between the ooohs and ahhhs we were all pretty impresses/scared by the amount of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) in effect. London is, as is often noted the most camera-ed city in the world, and it probably represents a feat of engineering as well as a feat of creepy big brothering.



Numbers I was curious about.
10 (to the power of 9) Billion 1 000 000 000
10 (12) Trillion 1 000 000 000 000
10 (15) Quadrillion 1 000 000 000 000 000
10 (18) Quintillion 1 000 000 000 000 000 000
10 (21) Sexillion 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
10 (24) Septillion 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
10 (27) Octillion 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
...
10 (300) Novemnonagintillion ????

Was thinking about this because of this number 10(122)

Statement of Intent:

I want to use this blog partially as an online journal; to record, link to, appropriate, steal and share information I find, think up myself or wonder outloud about. It amazes me the information that is stored on servers around the world. The ideas people come up with and share, the stories in the news and the movements that occur online...think about the photos and blogs from Myanmar in during the 'Saffron Revolution'.
I am a visual artist and hope this serves as a useful tool in my own navigation of this complex world of meaning and material, but I also hope it provides some tid bit of interest from readers...


With that in mind...


"The world's public health resources are misallocated," opined co-author Peter Daszak, executive director of the Consortium for Conservation Medicine at the US-based Wildlife Trust.

"Most are focused on richer countries that can afford surveillance, but most of the hotspots are in developing countries.

"If you look at the high-impact diseases of the future, we're missing the point."

1) The scientific community resists radical, yet valid theories before a new paradigm shift takes place.
2) The scientific community is strongly resisting my radical theories.
3) Therefore MY theories are valid and part of a new paradigm shift.



Physicist Nick Herbert, in his book Quantum Reality, describes eight possible interpretations:

there is no underlying reality;
reality is created by observation;
reality is an undivided wholeness;
there are actually many-worlds;
the world obeys a non-human kind of reasoning;
the world is made of ordinary objects;
consciousness creates reality;
unmeasured quantum reality exists only in potential.

Each of these interpretations poses its own paradoxes.
