Putin Steals Cracker Jack Box Ring?
*Superbowl Ring* This morning I discovered a somewhat amusing comment left in my In-basket on a recent post. The commenter "Anonymous" accused Vladimir Putin of stealing a Superbowl Ring. There have been a lot of travesties of justice recently...but this has to be one of the more supercilious ones. Why Vladimir Putin would even want such a Cracker Jack box piece of junk...is the first question that pops into the mind of anyone--who hasn't been brainwashed by the American Kult*U*re into a lifetime of picking lint out of their collective national naval.

Gravitational Effects Explain Muon Magnetic Moment Anomaly Away!!

The skeptics will on the other hand look at the mass of confirmations of the current theory -the Standard Model- and claim that any speculation about the existence of discoverable new phenomena has no basis. read more

In spite of all that, the US and Russia are currently locked in a tit-for-tat unfriendly relationship somewhat reminiscent of the Cold War.

Earth's gravity correction removes muon's \(g-2\) anomaly: papers
As you know very well, the electron magnetic moment \(\vec \mu\) is proportional to the electron's spin \(\vec S\):\[ \Delta E = -\vec \mu\cdot \vec B,\quad \vec \mu = g \frac{e}{2m}\vec S. \] Simple first-quantized Dirac equation tells you that \(g=-2\): the Dirac magnetic moment is twice as strong as what you would expect from a spinning classical gyroscope of the same mass whose current creates the magnetic field as coils do. In quantum electrodynamics, there are loop corrections and the value of \(g\) measured by my ex-colleague Gerry Gabrielse is\[ g_e\approx –2.00231930436182(... more »

Asteroids and Financial Markets
There have been quite a few asteroids in the news recently as our improving space-based detection systems reveal the precarity of life on Earth as objects zip past us at alarming speeds. Life is precarious. Yet the revelation of our utter contingency has not made us value life more but rather seems to coincide with the growth of a death-cult. The death cult is everywhere we look. It is a logic of government that extracts and exploits with no regard for future consequences. The death cult is rationalized in scientific creeds that falsely represent precarious life as robust, individ... more »

The Navy Had a Plan to Build a Mini 'B-2 Bomber' To Fly from An Aircraft Carrier
*Robert Farley* *Security, * This is just one of 5 super weapons that U.S. military never built. *What if we had a stealthy strike bomber that could take off from aircraft carriers? In the mid-1980s, the Navy needed a replacement for the beloved-but-venerable A-6 Intruder. Building on expectations about the progress of stealth technology, McDonnell Douglas developed the A-12 Avenger, a subsonic “flying wing” bomber that visually resembled a miniature B-2 Spirit. Combining stealth with the flexibility of carrier ops, the A-12 promised an unparalleled deep strike capability. Eve... more »

*Robert Farley* *Security, * Here is 5 Russian weapons of war (that were never built). *Many of the Soviet bombers of the post-war era were direct analogues to US types. The Tu-4, in fact, was a direct copy of captured American B-29s. The Sukhoi T-4 was the USSR’s answer to the B-70 Valkyrie. A massive, incredibly fast bomber capable of high altitude flight, the T-4 tested (and in many ways exceeded), the limits of the Soviet Union’s defense industry. Designed to hit Mach 3, with a service ceiling of around 70,000’, the T-4 resembled the B-70 visually, and in capability. Howe... more »
