SLOWING THE SPEED OF LIGHT

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/scientists-slow-the-speed-of-light/ar-AA8uQjo?ocid=ansBBCNews11

It was great news to learn that the speed of light has finally been slowed down.

It's about time this was done.

186,000 miles per second was always way too fast.

We can still get to school on time without moving at the speed of light.

I know, we didn't ever go this fast in the first place, but now we'll worry less that we will ever have to.

We'll be able to travel slower so we don't wrinkle our clothes or pull any muscles.

If the light is slowed down even more,

we'll be able to see everything in a clearer light.

When our photon spaceships are built, we don't have to go at the speed of light, and we'll get to places slower but safer.

Ted Cruz:

Hello Marco. Man, your water bottle is huge!

Marco Rubio:

I know. I don't want to have another sip slip while I'm speaking.

Ted Cruz:

Good idea.

Marco Rubio:

So what's up Ted?

Ted Cruz:

The moon, the planets, the sun, and all of those galaxies.

I wonder if the sun is experiencing any Global Warming?

No, it's already too hot to get any warmer.

(Both laugh)

Marco Rubio:

Well, it's been very cold here. So much for Global Warming.

(laughter)

Are We Approaching the End of Human History?

September 9, 2014

http://billmoyers.com/2014/09/09/noam-chomsky-are-we-approaching-the-end-of-human-history/

I am always skeptical when I read or hear someone pronouncing and predicting the end of the world or of the human race.

This is a pessimistic position.

O Speak for yourselves, YE doomsayers!

I am on the side of human history and hope.

William Faulkner said it well:

 

I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure: that when the last dingdong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking.

I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things.

We must remember to hope when there is no hope.

We MUST embrace the light within when there is so much darkness without.
