                            To HERMES with LOVE, URANIA

  by Richard DePersio and Aphrodite

                                                    with Citizen Journalist Janus Calliope

  (Fortified with Shocking Non-PC; Someone has to be willing to speak

                               the unspeakable! It ain't you typical science article)

 

          LITTLE KNOWN SPACE FACTS WORTH KNOWING*:

!) Launched in August '62. Vostok 2 was polited by Titov the Soviets

second manned mission. He was the first man to eat in space: he ate

some food paste; later, he gained the distinction of becoming the

first human to experience space sickness. Apparently, paste wasn't

umm umm food!;

2) The third American in space, Glenn, emptied a tube of applesauce

into his mouth becoming first USA to eat in space. We are certain

that it wasn't good to the last drop and he didn't become ill. We

can't be sure if Titov problem was food or motion sickness or a combo;

3) Wally Schirra was our fifth one-man Mercury mission and the

first telecast beamed to earth. It was processed and soon telecast.

Prior to this time, astronauts and cosmonauts were filmed in their

space capsule with footage shown on TV and stills in newspapers

after the conclusion of their missions;

4) Wally was followed by Gordo Cooper who launched a sphere with

strobe lights, which he was able to see on the following orbit. Gordo

was the first astro-guy to deploy a satellite from orbital flight. He

is further distinguished by the fact that his manual landing was of

pin-point accuracy;

5) The joint Apollo/Soyuz mission: after Apollo splashed down , an

astro-error caused the fumes of fuel being dumped overboard to be

drawn into the spacecraft. The fumes caused Brand to loose

consciousness, but no permanent harm resulted. The crew probably

saved their own lives by using their oxygen masks.

(Note: Mercury and Vostok flights took place between 1961-64; joint

mission in '75).

6) In '86, two cosmonauts having spent two months aboard the Mir

space station flew Soyuz spacecraft to the older Salyut station where

they spent 50 days - this represented the first transfer from one craft

to another;

7) Let's pay homage to the unmanned pathfinders...Our Ranger probes

 intentionally crashed into the moon transmitting date until impact; the

 Lunar Orbiters gathered data from lunar orbit (aren't you glad we

explained it; it would have driven you crazy for hours if we hadn't --- we

 know our readers!); finally, we were able to soft-land Surveyors on the

moon. In '67, Surveyor 6...

FOX NEWS ALERT: Artemis is furious. Let's hope that she doesn't go

muslim (slang for violent or crazy). The goddess demands that CJCS

Comsats desist in employing the words moon and lunar. RD: "We

shall never give in to terrorist demands." Artemis: "But, darling, I'm no

terrorist." RD: "Are you a Zsa Zsa? Artemis: "Let's get physical." RD:
"Are you a Newton-John." Calliope: "Rick, I can vouch for my Greek

goddess friend. Now, be a good human and make her happy --- and

Newton-John her." Aphrodite: "Over my dead immortal body!" RD: "My

decision is...

...lifted off the lunar surface - correction: Artemis' body - moved to a new

location, and set down to photographed another sexy area. The first time

an engine had been restarted on an extraterrestrial body.

8) In '69, Apollo Astros landed within 600 feet of Surveyor 3 which had

landed about 2 and a 1/2 years earlier. Conrad and Bean retrieved some

pieces from the probe, later found to contain earth bacteria, which had

survived all that time subjected to extreme cold and heat, near vacuum

and dryness.

All of this enabled America to win Artemis Race. There must be more to

the story like even bigger events:

A) Americans and Russians could maneuver their crafts for experience

when scheduled, otherwise controlled from the ground and on-board

'auto-pilot.' They could seize control if part or all of system conked out

(US), all (USSR). The cosmonauts had to open a box containing a code

to punch in in order to secure manual control --- great if there were an

emergency! As we progressed from Mercury to Gemini to Apollo, our

spacemen secured much control of craft while the other side only a

modicum more. (One can argue that it reflected our different political systems.

B) Greater astro-control enabled us to achieve rendezvous and docking and

 accomplish more during space walks - vital for Artemis missions.

C) We had the Saturn 5, was most powerful rocket ever built --- 7.6 million

pounds of thrust at launch. In '67, USSR had a more powerful Artemis rocket

 but blew up on launch pad during a fueling test producing many casualties.

(Note: Saturn 5 too Apollo crafts to Artemis beginning in '69. It wouldn't be

until '87 that Russia would have a rocket approaching Saturn 5 in power ---

7.9 pounds of thrust at launch called Energiia. It was launched only twice: '87,

'88. The second time it tested an unpiloted space shuttle called Buran.

Hall Macmillan, 1995} ** - see below).

          (Our first. While we have quoted from outstanding books,

     we've yet  to review a single one {single one seems redundant}.

   System: * star - poor; ** - fair; *** -good; **** - excellent and ^ - 1/2

                                                  star)

"Stick and Rudder" by Wolfgang Langewiesche (McGraw-Hill, 1944). This is

without a doubt one of the greatest stories ever told: creative, educational

fun --- you just don't wish to put it down as if you are reading a mystery.

      It constitutes an excellent supplement to a student pilot's manual, an

informative/imaginative journey for the earth-bound intelligent layman and

well augments a freshman aeronautical engineering student's textbook. Written

slightly more from a pilots perspective.

      Don't Allow Year of Copyright dissuade you from purchasing this

top-of-the-shelf construction. Sneaky, he helps you understand Relativity too!

      Remember: During and prior to WW2, what keeps a plane up - lift - was

taught correctly in elementary and high schools, pilot training and college

aeronautics. Since the late 40s, it is only taught correctly in aeronautics. Bernoulli

is baloney when misapplied leading to a false understanding of lift and, thereby,

making it harder to understand flight.

     It's about Newton and your angle of attack. Who did it? The Wolfman!

Rating: ***^ (Only, we will get ****, if we ever write a book).

"Understanding Flight" by Anderson Eberhardt (McGraw-Hill, 2010) Written for the

intelligent layman and more from an aeronautical engineer's point-of-view. We

don't feign to be experts but it seems to us that the book contains a few errors

and contradictions plus a few confusing passages. We need to consult our

other books on the subject - now, especially, the Wolf - to better understand

certain parts. Educational but not entertainingly educational.

Rating: **.

"Flight: Pioneers-Airpower-Record Breakers-Future" by Ian Graham in association

with Royal Aeronautical Society (KingFisher, 2001). This book can serve a meaningful

purpose: Parent and child (over 10) can take turns reading out loud and discuss or

read separately followed by discussion. It could lead to looking up more info on

items covered in short composition.

Rating: **^.

(How did with do as first time critics?).

Aphrodite: "Wrap it up. Artemis is now visible." Calliope: "Let's do one more section."

RD: "CJ, How can we refuse: Beauty-Brain-Body!"

were slaves and those who were or had become freemen.

PC-Blow-Up: Have you noticed but wouldn't dare say out loud but we will that those who

emigrate here from nations to our south with a heavy British or French or Dutch influence

are better educated and more classy and cultured: the way they talk, their ideas; style of

dress; way they carry themselves; are hard working. We are speaking in general for

a 30 year old Guinean black friend described an African-American co-worker as ghetto

 due to her appearance and work habits or lack thereof. Further, the boss has to cow tow

 to the African-American, clearly fearing being accused of discrimination, costing after a

verbal altercation, my much harder-working/better qualified friend her job. There is black

 and  there is black. It has nothing to do with color (race) for that would be indicative of

racism. What about Jamaicans, man. Of course, UK, France and Holland are part of

Western Culture to the greater degree. Word. I'm chillin' in my crib with my homies. It's

                           Scientific Paper: Breaking the Rules

                      by Richard DePersio with Ben and Michael*

Flying solo aboard comsat. Gods and goddesses - Calliope

included - are on Mt. Olympus. Winging it; impromptu; off-the-cuff;

adlibbing; without a net. Without hours of research and planning.

Lying: B  M (not bowl movement --- best men) are with me for

one of my final articles (the boy who cried wolf; you've heard it

before --- this time it's for real; looking forward to hearing from you).

An autographed picture of Aphrodite is on my computer desk.

Breaking the Rules...This represents my first scientific paper (or, is it

the second; Hayden Planetarium Program, age 16, some math - must

be early senility) as differentiated from a scientific article. It would never

 be published in science journal because of format and other violations.

 All modesty aside, it deserves publication After all, the UN papers on

global warming are falsified while mine is honest! (At

www.rickcmtsite.blogspot.com and www.pan-multiverse.blogspot.com

see: "Green with Envy" and "The Article: New-Spanking Version"
(first blue section).

(This paper was written prior to the events at

www.rickcmtsite.blogspot.com As Colombo would say: :Just one more

thing..." feel free to share my articles with your friends and

semi-friends and to tell people eve more famous than me about

my web sites and articles - even Schultz-ey at Red Eye!).

     

There has been a proliferation of shows about ghosts and UFOs

thanks to cable and thanks to cable for these comedies. I would

like to relate a story which I'm certain has a rational explanation.

Being that this is my space, I'll relate it unless there are any

objections.

      My nephew Miles (4 or 5; I don't keep track of important stuff).

My sister used to read to her daughter which helped her learn to

read. Miles didn't enjoy it. One day, he was looking at a photo

album and saw a picture of my father who passed away before

my nephew was born . He asked his mother to tape it to the

backboard of his bed. She continued to read to him and virtually

all the time he was bored and distracted; her daughter still found it

enjoyable. One day, my semi-wonderful sister heard him reading out

 loud. In shock, she said, "How did you learn to read!" He pointed to

the picture of my father and said, "He taught me."

      Brain or brain/mind...God or multiverses...Physics with math. and

without.....................I just returned from visiting the pope. Alright, no

more potty humor. Have you noticed that since the 70s, especially,

the '80s that stand-up comics and sitcoms, by and large, are only

capable of finding humor from sex, bodily functions, buffoonish

white males, the religious and conservatives. It must take all of ten

minutes to write a sitcom or a monologue nowadays. Gone are the

days when such humor was rare and comedy writers could derive

laughter from all forms of  human behavior....where is my Adderall?

...........I'm back. You didn't catch me kissing the picture on my desk.

No; good.

     The articles at www.comsat-ak.blopgspot.com concern astronomy

and philosophy...it takes time for the Adderall to take effect...the

posts at www.quasarpolitical.blogspot.com are primarily about

astronautics and space policy.

     Didn't I warn you that this article was extemporaneous (except for

BM (now, cut that our!), well, we're changing the title of this magnum

opus...too pompous?...exposition.

The BIG Challenge: Gravity - the Force that Pushes not Pulls-Part Two

(actually, adding a sub-title in the middle of article...nay, paper).

I can do that because I'm Add-ed and this is my comsat! A-oh, Hermes

and Urania just arrived. RD: "No; it's not a hostile takeover. No; I'm

not crazy enough to make a god and goddess angry. After all, all five

comsats belong to me." Hermes: "What! Comsat-ak belongs to Urania

and quasarp..." RD: "Where not doing that kind of humor here."

"Hermes: ...belongs to me and don't ever interrupt me again! I work

with Hades." RD: "Aphrodite gave me permission --- and you know who

her father is! Urania: "Namedropper." I'll see you later at the latest

Diogenes Club." Hermes: "What are you talking about?" RD: "The

one at rickcmtsite." Hermes: Now, I remember." RD: "You've been

spending too much time with Dionysus!"

Let's get down to business...Some say that Einstein replaced Newton.

Albert fell otherwise. He felt that Newton was great for the cosmos

(world) in which normal people lived. Einstein felt that Einstein was

only needed to be invoked when dealing with masses and speeds that

the average (who needs them; most people are prosaic; can't think in many

boxes simultaneously) don't deal with (forgive me for ending a

sentence with a preposition. Ladies, make that a cyber-space proposition).

Newton was good enough to get us to the moon! Albert helped develop

quantum physics but never accepted it. He felt that it must be part of

something BIGger. Newton shouldn't be discarded but thought of as part

of something BIGger and more correct: Einstein. Newton was good enough

 for everyday world. Einstein contended that quantum would eventually be

found to be  part of something BIGger and more accurate. Albert felt that

you can use Sir Isaac in the commonplace world or him (more complex

math.) for greater accuracy but why make life more difficult for yourself.

       As far as we know, no one has attempted to describe Einstein

non-mathematically in the world of Newton. At this junction, you might

elect to reread Part One to see where I'm going. B & M: "Do you know

where you are going or where you are in the universe!?!?" RD: No; but I'll get

 there. Don't abandon me."

Sir Isaac refused to explain how a force could pull and do so without

having contact between the two bodies - touching each other or a medium

between them. He finally became testy regarding the question and said,

"hypotheses non fingo (Latin for: I feign no hypotheses)...It is enough that

gravity exists according to the laws I explained. I feign no hypotheses...it

abundantly serves to account for all the motions of celestial bodies...I won't

speculate or guess if it is physical or metaphysical or occult or mechanical.

...inappropriate...experimental science explains how not why."

Later scientists tried to explain gravitational contact

between bodies not in physical contact via a invisible ether -- reminiscent of

the invisible crystalline spheres. A holdover, it would seem, during the

development of modern science of ancient type thinking, it seems to me.

Our contention: Let's think in terms of push not pull. Let's agree that the

 pictures of the space-time curvature in books, magazines and docs are

misleading generating misconceptions much like Bernoulli diagrams, as

opposed to, Newton-based in describing lift when it comes to things like planes.

We should change the way that we visualize the s-t curvature and, perhaps,

for the first time we can visualize Einstein in the everyday world between the

worlds of the very massive, very large and very fast and that of sub-atomic

particles. We shall return to this controversial position sometime before the

conclusion of the article. Let's go for the gold : a scientific paper in contrast

to a scientific article. Let's keep our bladders under control. My Biggest

Challenge: Let the stars be with me: Welch, Madonna and Spears (with a

shaven head). The established scientific community is crying foul. You can't

do a scientific paper this way. We certainly don't seek to be published in a

U.N. scientific (we use the term loosely, very loosely) journal. We'll present it

directly to our intelligently readers - nothing average or common about them.

We'll start off with the indirect like a lawyer who has his strong stuff but will

fatten it with stuff of lesser strength.

RD: "Dionysus what are you doing here? Something tells me that it is time for

 a liquid break; perhaps, it's the change of color -grapes...

Drank Ascencion - Torrontes, Salta -- cheap enough to do the trick.

Let's get physical...no; Aphrodite hasn't arrived yet...tangentially for you...

In "Understanding Flight" by Anderson and Eberhardt (McGraw-Hill; 2010)

they give a physical description of flight, especially, lift. I'm attempting to give

a physical description of Einstein in the world with which we are familiar.

Engineers employ Newton in the everyday world and scientists go with Isaac in

the commonplace world except when the most precise measurements are

required when they call upon Albert. As far as we are aware no one has

attempted to give a physical description of Einstein gravity for the world between

 the extremes: the very fast and massive and the quantum of the very small.

We couldn't handle Einstein mathematically in our world but they must think that

you are stupid too stupid to grasp complex concepts with a physical description. 

(Please reread last few articles a quasarp - not absolutely necessary).

       Understanding Flight: "...the wing is forcing the air down, or more

accurately pulling air down from above." If we want to enjoy the BIG 'A' in

our familiar environment, we must think in terms of forcing down or even

better: pushing air down.

(Aphrodite has arrived). Let's get physical...

RD: "Klinger, slide one, please":  the curvature of space-time  depicted

 for laymen (RD: "Aphrodite, let me be you lay-man) in discussions of 'E's

general relativity is rather flat and two-dimensional. They do point out that the

more massive an object is, the more it curves the 'fabric' space-time. (Don't forget

 that when it comes to space-time, we don't mean empty space like a vacuum; we

mean space that contains dark energy and quantum foam {electrons are made

 of strings while protons are made of quarks which are made of strings and

strings are made up of the foam - remember: Albert 'no middle name' Einstein

 taught as the matter and energy were different forms of the same thing;

preempting a question that you made ask later}).

RD: "Max, slide two": Let's imagine: that the first circle to the center represents

the earth; the next circle has a satellite in orbit around the earth. In Newton's

universe, gravity (an invisible force or force field) is pulling the satellite down.

(although, we generally, think of a force as a push not a pull; further, there is no

physical contact between earth and satellite). Let's pretend that the next circle is

right above and in contact with the satellite. (Hey! You have to work with what

you have!). There is no downward force instead the earth is bending or

warping space-time. (If the earth were more massive it would curve it more).

Result: the circle representing space-time is pushing down on the satellite.

RD: "Next slide, please,": You and I are being pushed a lot by BIG bullies! Mainly,

the sun and the moon. Jupiter, for example, though massive is far away,

therefore, its effect is imperceptible (not even capable of being measured with

 today's instruments {technology}): the curve looks like a line --- but  slight curves

does exist.

Curves and Curves...The whole solar system creates a curve around the

earth and you but not as curved as that of sun and moon ( solar system: further

 away; more spread out).  There are more curves that Aphrodite: The Galaxy;

the Local Group; the super cluster; the whole damn universe. (once again, we

have to work with this slide; it's the best that we got!). Space-Time is being

curved all around us: some imperceptible (with present technology), some slight,

others progressively larger.

       No longer should newspaper and magazine articles on science or popular

science books written for intelligent laymen or college textbooks use slide one

but instead a version of slide three!

What about dark matter? Newton: Hermes ("You rang?" RD: You're invoking

Maynard G, Krebs line in Dobbie Gillis."). orbits the sun faster than  Gaia

because it is closer to the sun, therefore, the sun's gravitational pull

 on Hermes is greater than that on Gaia. Alternately, the curvature over 'H'

pushes down greater than on 'G.'

Getting back to dark matter....You would think that the stars closer to the center

of our galaxy would orbit faster than those further out. Well, they don't! the stars

near the center and at the edge orbit at the same velocity (think of a record; the

thing before the CD). Astrophysicists claim that the Galaxy is filled with dark

 matter and extends out 10x (pardon the math!). the length of the visible part of

the Galaxy. I wonder if this dark matter, extending so far out, isn't pushing the

stars at the edge to orbit faster than those closer in, as the halo of dark matter is

 closer to the edge than the center. Newton battling with the DM achieving

equilibrium. Or, more precisely, the push not pull (or curvature) is less between

 the edge and the center. Matter battling with the dark stuff. We reiterate: Ban

Slide One!!!

*Franklin and Faraday are counted amongst that rarified breed: two of greatest

f'n scientists. Yet, they weren't very good at mathematics beyond arithmetic! (As

we learned from our WC friend Goldstein {another wonderful Jew-boy of "BO

Offends WC/AB" at rickcmtsite; David had nothing to do with this paper).They

possessed a genius for conceptualization and physical representation; akin,

one might say, to Albert's thought experiments to work through and help

explain his thoughts non-mathematically. RD wouldn't presume to place himself

with the the Fs; although, Citizen Journalist might!

                          HERMES Presents PUSH or PULL

                          A GIFT to a REAL LADY: URANIA

      by Richard DePersio with Citizen Journalist Janus Calliope

Hermes: "Speaking on behave of RD, CJ-C, it is good to be back.

Signed long-term contract that is equitable to all parties: RD, CJ

and I. The gods and goddesses of Mt. Olympus aren't members of

socialist unions which are destroying America --- to whom we

bequest Western Civilization. A Message for Urania: The old

haunt - CJCS Comsats - won't be the same without you. Sign new

contract post haste! The Obols are quite good! Ploutos concurs.

The problem with gravity: it pulls rather then pushes. We think of

a force as a push.

      Newton couldn't explain nature of gravity and how it could

influence over empty space. He tired of the questions until with

annoyance, he finally said: "It is enough that gravity exists

according to the laws I explained. It abundantly serves to explain

the motions of celestial bodies. I feign no hypotheses." He would

not speculate on the nature of the force - be it physical or

metaphysical or occult or mechanical. He explained that

science explains how something acts but not why.

We think of a force as a push.

     Einstein stated that a mass bends the curvature of space-time.

The more massive the object the greater the curve. The curve

causes space-time to push down on a nearby object.

Newton works just fine under most circumstances and the numbers

in problem solving are virtually identical to Einstein. Newton is

somewhat easier and was good enough to get us to the moon.

 Einstein is needed when dealing with extremely high velocities and

 masses.

     The fact of the matter: Push not Pull seems to save the

phenomenon better; it works better and may or may not describe

reality; describes it better than Newton. We can never be

certain if we are describing reality or absolutes --- that's for religion.

With science near certain, perhaps.

 

Wing lifts because air pushes down. Force is a push. Wing

irregardless of shape causes air to be deflected downward like the

curve of space-rime causes the space-time above the less

massive object to press down on it.

     Run a small stream of water from a faucet. Bring a horizontal

water glass over to it. The water will wrap partway around the glass.

Newton's first law  (no need to call on Einstein to complicate

things) tells us for  the flow of water to bend, there must be

a force on it. The force is in the direction of the bend. Newton's

Third Law tells us that there must be an equal and opposite force

acting on the glass. The stream of water puts a force on the glass

that tries to pull it into the stream.

    You don't like pull. The wing gives the air a downward deflection.

It does so by creating a region of reduced pressure on the top

surface of the wing (a kind of a suction) which pulls the air

downward. PUSHES on the wing. Wing deflects air down; air

pushes down on wing FORCE; equal and opposite reaction wing

pushes up --- lifts.

"Stick and Rudder" by W. Langewiesche (McGraw-Hill): "The main

fact of all heavier-than-air flight is this: the wing keeps the

airplane up by pushing the air down."

     "...it pulls the air down with its top surface...makes the air go

down. In exerting a downward force upon the air, the wing

receives an upward counter force."

Air pushes down on wing (force; action) and wing pushes up

(equal and opposite force; reaction). The same thing: gun

recoils as it shoves the bullet out forward.

     ''...if the wing pushes the air down, the air must push the wing

up." This is Newton's Third Law: For every action, there must be

and equal and opposite reaction. "...the wing...is in the last

analysis nothing bit an air deflector. It is an inclined plane...

that's, after all, why that whole fascinating contraption of ours is

called an airplane."

     "This plane is inclined so that as it moves through the air,

it will meet the air at an angle and thus shove it downward." It

pushes down on the wing.

Pic. 2: Imagine space-time pushes down on satellite as a

consequence of the curvature.

Pic. 3: As Albert taught us everything is relative: Wind deflected in

 downward direction by wing as viewed by pilot (if he could see

wind); wind would be nearly straight down behind wing as viewed

 from earth - not depicted (again, if you could see air).

 

(More on flight, as well as, the fallacy of Bernoulli Principle when

applied to lift {according to BP, symmetrical wings, for example,

 couldn't produce lift}, see: "Hermes has a Message" And

"Hermes: Ladies, Fly Me" at www.quasarpolitical.blogspot.com ).
