You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

Physics, History, Theology (warning: there’s some preaching here)
‘Beware the Ides of March.’ Cesear spoke this as a warning, but didn’t think to celebrate the day before, ‘Pi Day’. Perhaps if he had, the Ides would have been kinder.
So too, I bring you this 49 minute movie of Einstein and the real inventor of the bomb, the chain reaction that brought e=mc2 to the frightening destruction that many regret was ever unleashed. It was and from my research, it remains justified. Japan had no qualms about torturing thousands of our prisoners; no remorse about Pearl Harbor, and to defeat them, hundreds of thousands of troupes would have had to land on mainland Japan for a house to house battle that would have sacrificed more than the military towns of Hiroshima and Nagasaki lost. My father in law volunteered for the mission; luckily it never happened and he got the benefit of his life and two months leave at the Waldorf for volunteering. He was an UDT member (pre-SEAL) and had survived Normandy, N. Africa, and several Pacific islands where after a 2 week ride on a sub, was dropped off at night one mile off shore and given a hour window for a pick up week or so later. He ate by killing the enemy for the rice they carried around their necks. But when he volunteered for a ‘secret mission’, he was aboard a ship, where he and a few others were evacuated for leave. The ship and all those who didn’t volunteer for the mission of ‘certain death’ were taken by a German U boat. Ironic or prophetic?
This movie is also about m =e/c2 and cosmic birth, where matter is born of the universe from energy and condensing hydrogen, so we begin to understand more and more about the equation (something that Einstein, never saw), who like Moses never really appreciated the ‘Promise’ that his equation creates as well as destroys converting matter to energy and energy to matter. A chain reaction and a reverse chain reaction which we see darkening the universe’s explosions.
Having celebrated Pi Day, I hope that there’s a little grace left for those who must make the decision of who should be entrusted with a nuclear destructive force. Certainly Iran, who continues to ‘Do harm’ in Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, and now has aligned with Turkey, Syria … and just wait … in a limited way with Saudi Arabia, with Al Qaida, the Taliban where the world can begin to see a conflagration being planned and faithfully executed as surely as the pigs and ‘dirty’ animals that we Infidels are portrayed to be. Or perhaps, because you are an agnostic, atheist, ‘don’t carer’ you will be exempt. Only if you swear to the beast, like Mohammad did in his desert and criminal hide out, unifying the desert people and condemning them to darkness. How it all works, it’s not going to happen here, but soon it shall be revealed and I hope you are on that side who ‘Does no harm’, but realized that someone who does harm over and over unrepentant, deserves elimination. On a small, infinitely cosmically small scale, we owe a debt of gratitude to that man, Mr. Crapper, for recognizing that feces is better flushed, then accumulated, processed and restored into useful resources… (which needs further advances to keep human population growth sustainable) … but there is a mandate to recognize what gives life and does no harm, and what is more than willing to take life and unmercifully do harm … as plain as light and dark and the white robes of arrogant Islam, as presented here, celebrating Mohammed’s birthday, burn and loot Hindu businesses, driving them into poverty … so they will either convert or die and their children will more than likely see survival as paramount and convert, another victim of harm, and then taught to continue, like a chain reaction until all the light is consumed … until darkness, cold, lifeless for millions of years or until at the bottom of the ocean, a white or black smoker will develop a sufficient population to diversify and then ‘rebirth’ from another cyclic ice age… only this one was caused by man… Personally, I’d like to stop Iran, like the USA stopped Japan, and Germany who was very close to dropping the big one, not a fission bomb, but 1000’s of times more powerful bomb … the fusion bomb. They were extracting heavy water years in advance as reported from Norway and other areas where this was being done. In their Ubermensch bravado, the Nazi’s were probably waiting for the Fusion bomb, satisfied only with the ultimate weapon, because even a Hiroshima sized catastrophe would not have stopped the USA. May you feel some of the grace that perhaps you don’t think you deserve, but if you are not out there wishing everyone but your blood brothers’ and sisters’ deaths, then you deserve some grace… a lot of it.
Don’t get trapped in ‘doing good to your enemy’… ‘turning the other cheek’ was intended for small infractions of our human condition of getting rid of crap, eating good food, staying at a comfortable temperature … it was not intended to allow someone who is driven to death and yours first to succeed. But there is something called Apoptosis, and that too means bye-bye in order to let the young and healthy survive. If you are there, seek help, restore your health. Listen to beautiful music, or sing yourself as I know there are many beautiful voices unsung, just as there are many heros who would shun any ballads in their name.
And remember those who loved you … and those you love… I try to every day … and here’s to you mom… this is the 8th anniversary of your passing… a light and energy ultimately just changing … and sharing your grace with others … hopefully sending a few neutrinos down on me; be still my heart.
