  • FREEDOM PRIMER No.L
    FREEDOM PRIMER No.l The Convention Challenge and The Freedom Vote THE CHALLENGE AT THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION What Was The Democratic National Convention? The Democratic National Convention was a big meeting held by the National Democratic Party at Atlantic City in August. People who represent the Party came to the Convention from every state in the country. They came to decide who would be the candidates of the Democratic Party for President and Vice-President of the United States in the election this year on November 3rd. They also came to decide what the Platform of the National Democratic Party would be. The Platform is a paper that says what the Party thinks should be done about things like Housing, Education, Welfare, and Civil Rights. Why Did The Freedom Democratic Party Go To The Convention? The Freedom Democratic Party (FDP) sent a delegation of 68 people to the Convention. These people wanted to represent you at the Convention. They said that they should be seated at the Convention instead of the people sent by the Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi. The Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi only has white people in it. But the Freedom Democratic Party is open to all people -- black and white. So the delegates from the Freedom Democratic Party told the Convention ±t was the real representative of all the people of Mississippi. How Was The Regular Democratic Party Delegation Chosen? The Regular Democratic Party of Mississippi also sent 68 -^ people to the Convention in Atlantic City. But these people were not chosen by all the people of Mississippi.

  • A Plausible Resolution to Hilbert's Failed Attempt to Unify Gravitation & Electromagnetism
    Prespacetime Journal| December 2018 | Volume 9 | Issue 10 | pp. xxx-xxx 1000 Christianto, V., Smarandache, F., & Boyd, R. N., A Plausible Resolution to Hilbert’s Failed Attempt to Unify Gravitation & Electromagnetism Exploration A Plausible Resolution to Hilbert’s Failed Attempt to Unify Gravitation & Electromagnetism Victor Christianto1*, Florentin Smarandache2 & Robert N. Boyd3 1Malang Institute of Agriculture (IPM), Malang, Indonesia 2Dept. of Math. Sci., Univ. of New Mexico, Gallup, USA 3Independent Researcher, USA Abstract In this paper, we explore the reasons why Hilbert’s axiomatic program to unify gravitation theory and electromagnetism failed and outline a plausible resolution of this problem. The latter is based on Gödel’s incompleteness theorem and Newton’s aether stream model. Keywords: Unification, gravitation, electromagnetism, Hilbert, resolution. Introduction Hilbert and Einstein were in race at 1915 to develop a new gravitation theory based on covariance principle [1]. While Einstein seemed to win the race at the time, Hilbert produced two communications which show that he was ahead of Einstein in term of unification of gravitation theory and electromagnetic theory. Hilbert started with Mie’s electromagnetic theory. However, as Mie theory became completely failed, so was the Hilbert’s axiomatic program to unify those two theories [1]. Einstein might be learning from such an early failure of Hilbert to unify those theories, and years later returned to Mie theory [1]. What we would say here is that Hilbert’s axiomatic failure can be explained by virtue of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem: which says essentially that any attempt to build a consistent theory based on axiomatic foundations can be shown to be inconsistent.

    “What is it that I find so intimidating in the office of bishop, except perhaps that I might be attracted more by the authority of my position than by what in my role is helpful to your salvation? While what I am for you frightens me, what I share with you brings me consolation. “For you I am a bishop; with you I am a Christian. The former is the name of a duty I have received; the latter I am by grace. The former implies potential danger; the latter offers salvation ... “Assist me by your prayerful support, so that my joy will be in serving you, rather than in being over you.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo [354-430 AD], Sermon 340 SOLEMN VESPERS from the COMMON OF APOSTLES ON THE EVE OF THE INSTALLATION of BISHOP KEVIN C.

  • Electrical Engineer Disproves Einsteins Relativity Theory: the Ruins of 106 Years Relativity
    Arend Lammertink: Electrical Engineer disproves Einsteins Relativity Theory: The Ruins of 106 Years Relativity. http://tuks.nl/wiki/index.php/Main/Ruins96YearsEinsteinRelativity Electrical Engineer disproves Einsteins Relativity Theory: The Ruins of 106 Years Relativity. Last week the newspapers were filled with the discovery of "impossible" particles traveling faster than the speed of light. A month ago an "impossible" star was discovered and earlier the Pioneer space probes also refused to adhere to the law. This way, the scientific establishment will slowly but surely be forced to return to reality, the reality of the existence of a real, physical ether with fluid-like properties. The inevitable result of that will be that Einstein’s relativity theory will go down in the history books as one of the biggest fallacies ever brought forth by science. In the future they will look back to relativity with equal disbelief as to the "Earth is flat" concept. The relativity theory not only goes against common sense, as Tesla already said in 1932, a fundamental thinking error has been made by Maxwell in his equations. This eventually lead to the erroneous relativity theory, as is proven in this article. It is therefore no exaggeration to state that the scientific establishment is going to have a religious experience. source: Tesla’s Ambassadors The scientific establishment has been completely beside the mark by worshiping Albert Einstein and forgetting about Nikola Tesla. This logically thinking realist already wiped the floor with the theory of relativity in 1932 and thus proved for the umpteenth time to be far ahead of his time: 1 of 12 06/08/13 23:15 "It might be inferred that I am alluding to the curvature of space supposed to exist according to the teachings of relativity, but nothing could be further from my mind.

    Degeneration Theory in Naturalist Novels of Benito Pérez Galdós A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Wenley Stannard IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ofelia Ferrán, Advisor April 2011 © Michael Wenley Stannard 2011 i Acknowledgements I should like to record my sincere thanks to Ana Paula Fereira, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) for having given me the opportunity to realize a dream of many years. My graduate career in Minnesota has been a life-changing experience, and I would not have missed it for anything. Financial support from the department to study at the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, to study Portuguese at the Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon and to contribute to a conference at Universidad Complutense in Madrid helped significantly in rounding out my graduate student experience, as well as enabling me to collect essential material for this dissertation. I should like to thank my adviser, Ofelia Ferrán, for her help and guidance and to record my additional debt to Toni Dorca and Jaime Hanneken, who listened generously and counseled. To Toni Dorca I owe my introduction to Galdós‘s Naturalist novels which has formed the background of this dissertation. I have seen myself fundamentally as a galdosista at heart ever since. I should like to thank J.B. Shank for allowing me to prevail upon him to direct me in a course of reading that proved invaluable preparation for the study of biological and medical thought in eighteenth and nineteenth century France.
