5 PLACES WHERE WORLD WAR THREE COULD BREAK OUT

Where the unthinkable could happen.

James Hardy

October 17, 2014

It seems these days the world is literally on fire. Conflict continues on and off in Ukraine, there are tensions throughout the Asia-Pacific, Ebola is on the rampage, ISIS continues its bloody war of attrition throughout Syria, into Iraq and on and on. Yet, could something even worse be on the horizon—a conflict with more-severe global ramifications?

Argentina invades the Falklands

[extract from Margaret Thatcher The Downing Street Years (1993), pp173-85]

Nothing remains more vividly in my mind, looking back on my years in 10 Downing Street, than the eleven weeks in the spring of 1982 when Britain fought and won the Falklands War. Much was at stake: what we were fighting for eight thousand miles away in the South Atlantic was not only the territory and the people of the Falklands, important though they were. We were defending our honour as a nation, and principles of fundamental importance to the whole world - above all, that aggressors should never succeed and that international law should prevail over the use of force. The war was very sudden. No one predicted the Argentine invasion more than a few hours in advance, though many predicted it in retrospect. When I became Prime Minister I never thought that I would have to order British troops into combat and I do not think I have ever lived so tensely or intensely as during the whole of that time.

THE NEXT SOUTH CHINA SEA CRISIS ; CHINA VS INDONESIA ?

The vision of Indonesia as a “global maritime nexus” (poros maritim dunia) gained prominence during the presidential campaign and seems set to become a central focus.  While Indonesia’s emergence as a maritime power is by no means assured—it will face many challenges ahead—we may be witnessing the dawn of a new era in Indonesian history.

ECLIPSE 1919 : INTRODUCTION

Einstein ignored light refraction through the Earth's atmosphere when he desires used a method for validating his General Theory of Relativity in 1919.

The proving method / tests on the theory of general relativity as requested by its founder, Albert Einstein, is unjustifiable from scientific point of view of the astronomy. 

If a scientist conveys a theory and at the same time shows its proving method/tests, however after being tested by another scientist it is found out that his proposed proving method is proven to be unable to be performed due to not being scientific, then automatically such proposed theory prematurely falls by itself. The proving cannot be carried out by other methods not as requested by the theory founder, since it is reasonably assumed that such proving is made based on belief.

LHC (Large Hadron Collider) cannot be used as evidence of scientific discovery, because no one  can prove them wrong. LHC is no more than a scientific fraud.  Construction and operation of the LHC shows modern physics in the great crisis.

INTRODUCTION 

   Alphonsus Kelly, an Ireland engineer, in his lecture at Trinity College, Dublin, on February 15, 1996, stated that the Einstein’s Relativity theory might be wrong. Kelly revealed the experiment of Sagnac, the French physicist in the year 1914, showing that the time taken by a light to complete one rotation is found to be different from the time taken by one rotation in opposite direction. The Sagnac’s experiment proved that the speed of light was not constant. It is different from Einstein’s theory stating that the light velocity is constant.

   

   Reaction was given by an English astronomer, Arnold Wolfendale, stating that to design an experiment to prove that the light velocity is not constant is really a difficult thing to do.

   

   “ You cannot demolish a very strong theory such as Einstein’s Relativity only be based on a cheap experiment,” said Wolfendale reffering to Kelly’s opinion indicating that Enstein was wrong just based on Sagnac’s experiment. Wolfendale added that the particle accelerator all over the world have proven the truth of Einstein’s Relativity.

  

   “ We are engineer, will never give up, “ said Kelly to The Times. “ I know there is a priest preaching a mystery not known to him, and I think the physicists do the same thing.”

   Einstein’s theories, either Special Relativity or General Relativity, in principle arose from the firmness and faith of Einstein upon the harmony of universe. Einstein believed the universe was entirely always symmetrical and harmonious that should have been created by Supreme Intelligence.

   

   In gigantic scale, the universe is so homogenous. In whatever directions we look at all dots in the sky, they look the same and uniform. This is frequently asked by the scientists, and it creates the idea about the theory of establishment of universe, the beginning and the end of the universe in their opinions.

   

   Einstein’s general relativity theory stating that the natural law for all systems were equally applicable without being affected by their movements. This was a development of Special Relativity, and was announced in 1916. Einstein also issued a hypothesis considering the light as a particle. Therefore, light is influenced by gravity. Based on this hypothesis Einstein concluded that the light just as other material objects, moved in curve if gravity field of an object was massive. Such Einstein’s hypothesis on light caused dualism in modern physics, namely Dualism of Particle Wave.

   Justification or denial to a certain theory is best proven by self-proving concept. The self-proving concept was first presented by Aristotle in the 3^rd  century BC. Such a concept was also strongly held by Einstein, in which he was reluctant to accept a non self-proving theory.

   Many theories of physics exposed at the beginning of the 20^th century were self-proving, such as Photoelectric Effects conducted by Einstein, as a support to the Quantum Theory presented by Max Planck in 1900, that had been self-proven. It even produced the most admired technology at present : Information Technology.

   But Einstein’s Relativity Theory, from the beginning until now is still controversy. Let us note that in practice for the General Relativity Theory, if Einstein’s theory of general relativity was correct, then the light from stars that passed closest to the sun would show the greatest  degree of bending, and the stars whose light tracks are very far from the sun have their lights not being bent or deflected. The stars whose lights are not deflected means that there is no difference between the apparent position and the true position of the stars.

Illustration above was incorrect:  Apparent Position should be look higher than Actual Position

   If being consistent with this theory, it means that all stars visible at night time are at the appearance of the stars on their true positions, because the said stars do not pass through the field of gravity. This is certainly incorrect if it is seen from the astronomical scientific point of view.  The stars  in the sky at night time and seen by the observers, all are stars on apparent positions, not on their true / actual  positions.

EINSTEIN'S THEORY AND SAGNAC'S EXPERIMENT

The Death of Physics

Alphonsus Kelly, an Ireland engineer, in his lecture at Trinity College, Dublin, on February 15, 1996, stated that the Einstein’s Relativity theory might be wrong. Kelly revealed the experiment of Sagnac, the French physicist in the year 1914, showing that the time taken by a light to complete one rotation is found to be different from the time taken by one rotation in opposite direction. The Sagnac’s experiment proved that the speed of light was not constant. It is different from Einstein’s teory stating that the light velocity is constant.

WHICH OF MODERN PHYSICS ARE WRONG?

Which of the Basic Assumptions of Modern Physics are Wrong?

There’s something unnerving about unifying physics. The two theories that need to be unified, quantum field theory and Einstein’s general theory of relativity, are both highly successful. Both make predictions good to as many decimal places as experimentalists can manage. Both are grounded in compelling principles. Both do have flaws — including an unfortunate tendency to produce the number ∞ — but those flaws remain safely behind the scenes, never undermining the theories’ empirical successes.

BLACK HOLE DO NOT EXIST, BIGBANG THEORY IS WRONG

  Scientist claims she has mathematical proof black holes cannot exist

  She said it is impossible for stars to collapse and form a singularity

  Professor Laura Mersini-Houghton said she is still in 'shock' from the find

  Previously, scientists thought stars much larger than the sun collapsed under their own gravity and formed black holes when they died

  During this process they release a type of radiation called Hawking radiation

  But new research claims the star would lose too much mass and wouldn't be able to form a black hole

  If true, the theory that the universe began as a singularity, followed by the Big Bang, could also be wrong

EINSTEIN'S GENERAL RELATIVITY WAS TOTALLY WRONG

Einstein ignored light refraction through the Earth's atmosphere when he desires used a method for validating his General Theory of Relativity in 1919.

Albert Einstein proposed three tests of the general relativity theory:

1.the perihelion precession of Mercury’s orbit.

2.the deflection of light by the Sun.

3.the gravitational redshift of light

U.S.NAVY CELEBRATES 239th BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Navy !!

The United States Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on 13 October 1775, by authorizing the procurement and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America. The legislation also established a Naval Committee to supervise the work. All together, the Continental Navy numbered some fifty ships over the course of the American War for Independence, with approximately twenty warships active at its maximum strength. 

THE ART OF WAR & COMMENTS

The Art of War

Translated by Lionel Giles

CONVENTIONAL WAR AGAINST A NUCLEAR POWER

The Falklands War ended with a decisive British victory over thirty years ago.  Nevertheless, the war remains alive in the imagination of analysts and historians. Although the conflict happened outside of the normal “zones of crisis,” it has long held the attention of students of warfare.  The war, which involved a conflict over territory between two established nation-states with large, capital intensive military establishments, seems almost quaint today.  However, the issues that brought about the war, the manner in which the war was fought, and the situation the war left behind continue to hold important lessons for practitioners of foreign policy today.

HENRY KISSINGER : WORLD ORDER

“ When you’re asking Americans to die, you have to be able to explain it in terms of the national interest. “ ( Henry Kissinger ) 

WHEN HENRY KISSINGER celebrated his ninetieth birthday in Manhattan’s St. Regis Hotel in June 2013, he attracted an audience of notables, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Valery Giscard D’Estaing, Donald Rumsfeld, James Baker and George Shultz. Kerry called Kissinger America’s “indispensable statesman,” but it was John McCain who, as the Daily Beast reported, electrified the room with his remarks. McCain, who was brutally tortured in what was sardonically known as the Hanoi Hilton, earned widespread respect for courageously refusing to accept an early release from his Vietnamese captors after his father had been promoted to commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
