Notes - Hoyle / final Chapter Eight / tidbits /

         You took a family break and enjoyed every minute of it. This morning you read Sunday and Monday Cincinnati Enquirers, had a light breakfast, did your exercises, and are ready to meet the day now that it is eleven-one on the dot. Doug has sent you suggested reading and I agree, particularly concerning Fred Hoyle. – Amorella

Sir Fred Hoyle  (24 June 1915 – 20 August 2001)[1] was an English astronomer noted primarily for his contribution to the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis and his often controversial stance on other cosmological and scientific matters—in particular his rejection of the “Big Bang” theory, a term originally coined by him on BBC radio. In addition to his work as an astronomer, Hoyle was a writer of science Fiction, including a number of books co-written with his son Geoffrey Hoyle. Hoyle spent most of his working life at the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge and served as its director for a number of years. He died in Bournemouth, England, after a series of strokes.

Origin of nucleosynthesis
. . . An early paper of Hoyle's made an interesting use of the anthropic principle. In trying to work out the routes of stellar nucleosynthesis, he observed that one particular nuclear reaction, the triple-alpha process, which generates carbon, would require the carbon nucleus to have a very specific resonance energy for it to work. The large amount of carbon in the universe, which makes it possible for carbon-based-forms of any kind to exist, demonstrated that this nuclear reaction must work. Based on this notion, he made a prediction of the energy levels in the carbon nucleus that was later borne out by experiment.
These energy levels, while needed to produce carbon in large quantities, were statistically very unlikely. Hoyle later wrote:
Would you not say to yourself, "Some super-calculating intellect must have designed the properties of the carbon atom, otherwise the chance of my finding such an atom through the blind forces of nature would be utterly minuscule. A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
—Fred Hoyle
         . . .
Rejection of the Big Bang
While having no argument with the Lemaitre theory (later confirmed by Edwin Hubble’s observations) that the universe was expanding, Hoyle disagreed on its interpretation. He found the idea that the universe had a beginning to be pseudoscience, resembling arguments for a creator, "for it's an irrational process, and can't be described in scientific terms" (see Kalam cosmological argument [See Below]. Instead, Hoyle, along with Thomas Gold and Hermann Bondi (with whom he had worked on radar in World War II), in 1948 began to argue for the universe as being in a "steady state" and formulated their steady state theory. The theory tried to explain how the universe could be eternal and essentially unchanging while still having the galaxies we observe moving away from each other. The theory hinged on the creation of matter between galaxies over time, so that even though galaxies get further apart, new ones that develop between them fill the space they leave. The resulting universe is in a "steady state" in the same manner that a flowing river is - the individual water molecules are moving away but the overall river remains the same.
The theory was one alternative to the  Big Bang which agreed with key observations of the day, namely Hubble's red shift observations, and Hoyle was a strong critic of the Big Bang. He is responsible for coining the term "Big Bang" on BBC radio's Third Programme broadcast at 1830 GMT on 28 March 1949. It was popularly reported by George Gamov and his opponents that Hoyle intended to be be pejorative, and the script from which he read aloud was interpreted by his opponents to be "vain, one-sided, insulting, not worthy of the BBC".  Hoyle explicitly denied that he was being insulting and said it was just a striking image meant to emphasize the difference between the two theories for the radio audience. . . .

Hoyle, unlike Gold and Bondi, offered an explanation for the appearance of new matter by postulating the existence of what he dubbed the "creation field", or just the "C-field", which had negative pressure in order to be consistent with the conservation of energy and drive the expansion of the universe. These features of the C-field anticipated the later development of cosmic inflation. They jointly argued that continuous creation was no more inexplicable than the appearance of the entire universe from nothing, although it had to be done on a regular basis. In the end, mounting observational evidence convinced most cosmologists that the steady state model was incorrect and that the Big Bang was the theory that agreed best with observations, although Hoyle continued to support and develop his theory. In 1993, in an attempt to explain some of the evidence against the steady state theory, he presented a modified version called “quasi-steady state cosmology” (QSS), but the theory is not widely accepted.
The evidence that resulted in the Big Bang's victory over the steady state model, at least in the minds of most cosmologists, included the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation in the 1960s, the distribution of "young galaxies" and quasars throughout the Universe in the 1980s, a more consistent age estimate of the universe and most recently the observations of the COBE satellite in the 1990s and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe launched in 2001, which showed unevenness in the microwave background in the early universe, which corresponds to currently observed distributions of galaxies. Hoyle died in 2001 never accepting the Big Bang theory.
Rejection of Earth-based abiogenesis
In his later years, Hoyle became a staunch critic of theories of abiogenesis used to explain the origin of life on Earth. With Chandra Wickramasinghe, Hoyle promoted the hypothesis that the first life on Earth began in space, spreading through the universe via panspermia, and that evolution on earth is influenced by a steady influx of viruses arriving via comets. His belief that comets had a significant percentage of organic molecules was, in fact, well ahead of his time, as the dominant views in the 1970s and 1980s were that comets largely consisted of water-ice, and the presence of organic matter was then considered highly controversial. Wickramasinghe wrote in 2003 "In the highly polarized polemic between Darwinism and creationism, our position is unique. Although we do not align ourselves with either side, both sides treat us as opponents. Thus we are outsiders with an unusual perspective—and our suggestion for a way out of the crisis has not yet been considered".
In 1982 Hoyle presented Evolution from Space for the Royal Institution's Omni Lecture. After considering what he thought of as a very remote probability of Earth-based abiogenesis he concluded:
If one proceeds directly and straightforwardly in this matter, without being deflected by a fear of incurring the wrath of scientific opinion, one arrives at the conclusion that biomaterials with their amazing measure or order must be the outcome of intelligent design. No other possibility I have been able to think of...

The Kalam Cosmological Argument (mentioned above)

(1) Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence.
(2) The universe has a beginning of its existence. Therefore:
(3) The universe has a cause of its existence.
(4) If the universe has a cause of its existence then that cause is God.
Therefore:
(5) God exists.

The first premise of the argument is the claim that everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence. In order to infer from this that the universe has a cause of its existence the proponent of the kalam cosmological argument must prove that the past is finite, that the universe began to exist at a certain point in time.

The crucial premise of the kalam cosmological argument, then, is the second: “The universe has a beginning of its existence”. How do we know that the universe has a beginning of its existence? Might not the universe stretch back in time into infinity, always having existed? The proponent of the kalam cosmological argument must show that this cannot be the case if his argument is to be successful.

Advocates of the kalam cosmological argument claim that it is impossible that the universe has an infinite past. In support of this claim, modern advocates of the argument often appeal to modern science, specifically to the Big Bang theory. Modern science, they say, has established that the universe began with the Big Bang.

         As an agnostic you are not a believer in intelligent design and lean science bound toward Darwin. The books will stay away from this because proof of what exists is in the species that began Before the “Big Bang” as far as this fictional books are concerned. People who profess one way or the other do not have the knowledge or understanding to say one way or another, that’s how we will treat this. The humor is that the marsupial humanoids don’t know any more than earthlings. For them science represents the idea of a reasonable design because this is how they see science, based on reasonable observation. Reasonable design is not the same thing as the present definition of intelligent design listed here because it is highly speculative and unprovable unless of course G---D were provable and if so, how little would this G---D, Creator of All Thing Before and Beyond would be, this is the marsupial humanoid perspective. In here, such talk embellishes pride. - Amorella

         1134 hours. Thank you, Amorella, I had no idea how I was going to confront this. Knowing next to nothing in terms of religious questioning invites humility, that’s the way I see it. These are my books and they could not be written embellishing pride, at least I would hope not.

         Careful boy or you fall into the same bowl of soup. – Amorella

         In here, in my head, knowing nothing; is a better outlook for me.

         I wouldn’t be here otherwise boy. Post. - Amorella


         1650 hours. I have chapter eight final completed. I had lots of errors though I should not be amazed by this fact. I was confusing characters in Grandma’s Story. I hope that is straightened out.

         You had a late lunch at Chipotle/Panera, stopped at Kroger’s on Tylersville. Delivered the groceries then out to Pine Hill Lakes Park where Carol spent half an hour or so picking up trash in the valley just north of the earth dam while you finished the chapter. Add and post. – Amorella

Chapter Eight
Punctuality

The Supervisor has a little saying:
                                    Ring-a-ring o'rosies
                                    A pocket full of posies
                                    "A-tishoo! A-tishoo!"
                                    We all fall down!

                                    We rise from clay
                                    On Judgment Day
                                    Be we dead or still alive.

            I, Merlyn, have this little ditty above memorized to the point it sets stemmed in letters out of which each four-leafed chapter dreams grow to clover size. I knead the dreams into a word stream of music for the heart and soul and mind with hope that when read, these stories cast a light into those living with an imagination that casts no shadow.




The Dead 8

         Merlyn observes the trees and shrubs lining both sides of the river in contemplation. The river’s dimensions depends on the angle of my view and the width of my mind — the narrower the view the deeper the water. When my heart feels Vivian within; the deeper I can sink into her own. This is a magnetic energy that draws into us. The mind becomes one eye and the heart the other eye adding depth to perception the mind eye and the heart eye also adds a perception; love is but a reflection of the deeper unseen reality from which we higher conscious human beings evolve.

         This reality is dressed in an intuitive perception, a begotten energy of passion that has no muscle memory and no sexual dancing in earthy innuendos. Here, contentment is as being nothing to being. Such is the contentment in the twinning; whose single ring would shame the size of the environs of Earth’s yellow sun. Vivian and I are bound in the cosmos of HeavenOrHellBothOrNeither and HeavenOrHellBothOrNeither is bound within the cosmos of the spiritual we.

            Vivian appears head first from the depth and width of Merlyn’s reasoned water and climbs into his boat. "Welcome to my part in your world, Merlyn. I can tell from your surprise that we are more closely attached than you have been thinking."

         "How is this?" grumbled Merlyn while loving her being. He gruffly utters, "I have right to be alone; here in this my private sanctuary."

         "These dry waters are not so private as you obviously think. Call these spiritual waters or imagination or what ever name you wish, they exist and I am here. I exist too. We are in well-mixed waters dear Merlyn,” Vivian smiles coyly and whispers, "But then, do you not desire the entirety of my company?"

        "You are too quick and too nakedly arrived," remarks Merlyn defensively.

         "Me naked almost always brings you into a full customary grin. How better to disarm your solitary nature." She sit on the small front seat of the Celtic craft and sweeps her right arm to her neck. "How is this?"

         A shear silk-like piece of imagination covers her slightly as Merlyn in a quick rattle of masculinity desires a secret peek of the Vivian, at once the Lady of the Lake and twinned legendary Princess of Celtic Avalon.

            He dispatched his eyes inward away from her sight.

         Vivian watches in dread as Merlyn's dark pupils rise above and behind those magnificent human-like eye sockets. His face is now almost flesh borne. This is Merlyn's magic. He changes my spiritual makeup placing my soul on the right rather than in mid-point balance where it belongs. Merlyn moves my soul.

         Merlyn plays her board, Reason's site, is out of balance when placed nearest the less tenable but more truly compassed heart. The snowflake-like soul, a sticky six-pointed composition, stays as marrow within the spiritual skeleton. Vivian draws her mind out of the eternal balance as she once threw me. Who wins in such a warring-like field? The full and now an awkward ghost she has no chance but to howl wolf-like while stuck in wrap-spirited in heart and soul without reason.

         Merlyn rolls his eyeballs face-forward draining his black pupils into inky molded of grammar, associated letters into words running into paragraphs so that Vivian his most passionate love may read and witness him buried in two dimensions rather than his spiritual One. “Read me, my love to become soul balanced reasoned once again. She and he, wrap as clasped hands, fly towards their ancestral mother, Glevema who stands by Grandfather, Panagiotakis, the oldest of human shamans in the center of a once Greeked Avalon.

            I am bewitched-in-spirit, surmises Panagiotakis in wonder. Something beyond the nature of the letter-less space paged sets between Mistress Vivian and Master Merlyn, and I am in wont to witness, to read and to observe its unbound passing from the Dead to living fiction. Such is the trickery of a Grandmaster Shaman in full Dance on Nothing and Earth both at once.






The Brothers 8
            Richard sits in his study viewing a recent Google Earth photo of Riverton’s John Knox Cemetery. I wonder how the recent Dead view leaving the place crossed Richard’s mind. The cemetery roads crossing north to south and east to west a cemetery block of the mausoleum. Richard drags the street view icon and views his house from the cemetery's perspective. A google camera drives through the cemetery from South Grove back to the mausoleum on the cemetery roads. I was looking down from three thousand feet and with a click and short wrist movement I was at ground level in a cemetery.
            "What's up, bro?"
            "Robby, I didn't hear you come up. Look at this, Google drove one of their camera trucks through the cemetery."
            Rob grins, takes a look then sits in the chair next to the window. "Here's a Twilight Zone story for you, someone goes on Google Earth to check out Knox Street and with the slip of a hand finds himself in the cemetery next door glancing at his own dated headstone."
            "I was thinking about someone dying and his last glance at Earth would be from three thousand feet, then from space and the Moon and Earth and all would just fade away."
            "You mean for the book?”
            “Just a thought." chuckles Richard then he turns soberly, "When I saw the street level shot it dawned on me that the Dead might not ever leave."
            "We've both thought that in real life you wake up alive and when you die, you're dead."
            "I know, but how would it be? Remember the old townies in the bridge and canasta group were buried across the street? Each had someone drop a deck of cards in their casket or next to their urn in case anyone wanted to play cards. Everyone knew it was a joke but as each one of the group died, a deck was buried with them — our parents and Connie’s parents too, were buried with them.
            "You and Cyndi dropped in the cards,” smiles Robert. “Sentimentality is good, even a little healthy for the living, I think; but the dead, if they exist, are surely beyond such things as playing cards," replies Robert. "I came over to see if you wanted to go to the Village Bookstore."
            "The old church in Worthington, anytime. Let me shut this down."
            Fifteen minutes later Connie and Cyndi were sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee and sharing a green and white can of mixed nuts. "Nice to have the house to ourselves. Nice to relax."
            Cyndi counters, "I am worried about Robert. He always has to be doing something or going somewhere. I wish he would just sit and relax more – like Richie."
            "Richie doesn't do enough, Connie. He would rather sit in his history and literature books than do much of anything else. They both have been spending time in the cemetery and mausoleum. What is that all about?"
            "Genealogy. Aunt Floy got them started, she spent most of her life working on the family tree; when we married in, and she began working on ours. She thinks we Bleacher's and Greystone's have been family connected since the times of Shakespeare."
            "I didn't know she had gone back that far. That was so long ago."
            "Aunt Floy has some evidence that the Bleacher's and Greystone's had adjoining properties between Oxford and Stratford in Oxfordshire or bordering Warwickshire counties," notes Cyndi.
            "Why doesn't Robert ever talk about it? He likes history."
            "I don't know. Richie doesn't talk about it to me either, but he has Aunt Floy’s genealogical records out on his desk from time to time. When I ask him about it, he says that he's really interested in the old royal lines and which of his ancestors lived under Henry VIII. He has been interested since he read The Passover Plot. Later he was snagged by the Bloodline of the Holy Grail, and The Di Vinci Code.
            Connie says, "We have read most of the Brown books, but Jesus theories – let the dead be dead, that’s what I think. May they rest in peace, Jesus and all the rest of them."
            “Amen,” comments Cyndi then she  took another sip of coffee. “Why doesn’t Robert ever talk about the genealogy? I wonder evidence Aunt Floy found that shows our families had adjoining properties in that part of England. We Bleacher's go back six or seven generations. That would be really funny if our families were acquaintances that far back. I wonder what the odds are for families to be connected one way or another for hundreds of years?”
            “We are all connected, Cyndi. Everybody is someone else’s cousin.”
            She rebuffs, “Not literally though. Surely. How far removed would the human race be?”           


Grandma’s Story 8
About 2500 years ago, in 485 before the modern Common Era, we have a love story between a druidic priestess, Gadelin of the North Woods and a druidic priest, Mardynn Herremon of the East Woods, a cousin of Simon Breac, then High King of Ireland.
It is in the last year of the reign of Simon Breac that the priestess and priest’s love interest begins. Gadelin is in her mid-teens while Mardynn is nearly twenty when, at the Great Wooden Hall of Tara, the two lovers are ordered by jealous King Simon to compete to be the new official seer for the new king as the old seer has died unexpectedly.
 The much older King Simon has fallen into an attraction with Gadelin because of her youth, her long coal-black hair, her contrasting fair skin, her athletic prowess and most of all for her passion to please the Moon God. Gadelin does not mind secretly sleeping with King Simon during each of the full moons for six months, but then suddenly Simon orders her to compete with her well-known lover, the druidic Priest Mardynn, to be his official Seer. The next day the king announces the competition in Court at the great wooden hall atop the five hundred and fifty foot high Hill of Tara.

Gadelin sleeps with her lover Mardynn on the Half Moon. No one knows who she sleeps with during the First and Third Quarter Moons but many assume she has two secret commoners for her private ritual.
She beds one of four men on each four-moon phase once a moonth no matter what. Even I, Grandma, realizes that in that age Gadelin is a most loyal druidic guardian, worshipper and lover of the Moon in all of Ireland. Gadelin believes the moon god creates the sexual tension and his physical release through each of her Moon Lovers. She keeps that a secret, but not from Grandma. Nature knows all.
Mardynn loves his Half Moon Goddess best and Gadelin is his best priestess partner to enact his sexual tension and release with the Moon Goddess once a moonth. The problem becomes that he privately comes to the conclusion that being the Official Seer will provide him with much more power than being the best Lover to Gadelin whom he thinks of as the Goddess in Half Moon.

 Simon the King is the North and Mardynn is the South during the full Moon. As the Hall of Tara is aligned North to South Priestess Gadelin feels she can gain much wisdom from me, Mother Earth, in the process.
Gadelin thinks little of the upcoming competition. When she has a man in bed she is always in control. Always. She was twelve and living north of the River Boyne when she first had a sexual dalliance. It was with her older cousin who had much more experience, but his experience was of little consequence because Gadelin is a natural, you see.
During a warm evening of the next Half Moon, Priestess Gadelin confidently strolled into Mardynn’s small round stone-walled hut in the East Woods south of the River Boyn. She discovers her Priestly Mardynn is not home. She sniffs the air and does not detect his scent. Gadelin concludes, ‘He has not been here all day or last night.’

“I can see Galelin yet,” says Grandma, “she is so assured Mardynn will show up.’

‘I know Mardynn believes me as the moon goddess when we make love. A man in love with a goddess gives himself completely,’ muses Galenin. Her cleverness spreads rosy across her cheeks, she thinks in a shifting consciousness. He cannot know that I will be making love with the Moon God at the same time. Mardynn will be here, he will not disappoint his moon goddess.
Priestess Gadelin waits and waits and in quickened death waits still. So do Simon and Mardynn wait and wonder until they die. Those in any walk of life who attempt to love a Moon God-an-Goddess eventually give up the ghost and these three are no exception; sex or no sex.
Round and round and round the three all go,
And where they stop no bodies know,

To mistake a Fate for Necessity’s Call,
Is to liken pale Moby for a common Arctic narwhal.

Says this old Grandma’s tongue and gums
From this dream now past a future dreams come.




Diplomatic Pouch 8
            Pyl, Justin and Blake complete their plans for the day. The date is March 1, 2012 in Cleveland Plain Dealer located on the breakfast table next to Blake. A little more than a month has gone by since sisters Francis and Hart attempted to purchase the Williams’ Cessna 210 Silver Eagle. Pyl is reading the local section of the paper; an article about the Chardon School shooting, Justin gleans the sport's page focusing on the loss of the Cavaliers to the Knicks with the final score, 120 to 103.
            What a weird month, broods Blake. People come in out the blue wanting to buy the plane; we tell them we don't want to sell and they leave without another word. I would have thought they would have at least sent an email thanking us for their afternoon ride to Put-in-Bay and back. Nothing. He says, "I'd like to get some flight time today. The weather is going to be worse with thunderstorms the next couple of days. I can get some instrument time in what with the weather mix and cloud cover." Blake focus on the back page, the weather page reads the mostly cloudy sky will produce light snow showers which will change to rain; and that the light west wind will be coming from south, giving a high of 42 degrees, even the night temperature is to stay above freezing. Out of his sourness, Blake announces, “We can take the plane up around noon.”
            "You just want to see the sun, Blakie, not that I blame you," comments Pyl. “Our other plans can wait. The weather is depressing." I have a pile of clothes to wash, she rationalizes, and then adds, "I wouldn't mind going along. Do you want to come Justin?"
            "No," sighs Justin. "I'm reading a couple Car and Driver magazines. We've been back up here only a couple of days and I'm getting bored. This weather doesn't help. I'm ready to go home." He mulls on the fact that winter break is over and they didn’t go south.
            Blake comments, "You'll like the Car and Driver articles on the Shelby and the Viper. You can read them any time. I'm bored too, Justin, that's a good reason to get up above the clouds with us," smiles a Blake reenergized.

             Noon. Ship stirs, jolting Yermey who realizes the Cessna with three humans is in the air.
            "Take us to her," grumbles Yermey. His old eyelids stay sleep shut, resisting the reality of the moment. "Wake up, Friendly."
            "Captain has us already underway."
            "When will we be in contact?” asks Yermey soberly.
            "Ten minutes," reasons  Ship.
            Yermey slowly stands, slides himself into a jumpsuit, rubs his forehead rather harshly, shakes his head to refresh and considers what they about to do?
            The three have carefully decided that the next time the Cessna is in the air they will take the plane into a controlling declared advisement, first by suspending physics to place the plane aboard Ship with the three Earthlings inside.
            Yermey strides into Friendly's control room asking, “Are you sure the three are aboard?"
            "All three and blackenot is on,” notes Friendly.
            "Are we really going through this?" questions Hartolite. "Wouldn't it be more polite to first say hello or greetings as fellow Earthlings?"
            Suddenly Friendly orders, "Change circumstance," and Ship freezes about half a mile to the starboard side of the Silver Eagle to fly parallel with the Cessna 210. A few seconds later they are parallel at less than quarter mile. "I say we down the plane at a private field in the area and speak them on their own ground."
            Ship, having bio-computerize a virtual Cessna, verbally responds, "A flat and vacant country road four miles south. I can mimic engine trouble. The pilot will have no choice but to land."
            "Good!" says Yermey slapping his thigh joyfully. "We wing it."
            "We improvise?" questions Hartolite. "All of our stratagem, and now we improvise?"
            "Let Ship settle them safely and unaware of our presence. Spontaneity has an open honesty to it. Keep all traffic clear, she further orders. "Land us five yards from them."
            Ship responds confidently, "As you wish." The three marsupial-humanoids stand with equanimity watching the maneuvering.
            ‘This was not the plan,’ considers Friendly, ‘the first formal contact with Earthlings is about to begin on a lonely flat township road near an Amish farm in south Ashtabula County northeast of Cleveland. I like this better. We wing it for authenticity’s sake.’
