Leonardo da Vinci & The New Biology
It is completely absurd to apply an atomist paradigm to cellular biology. It is not absurd to posit a 'matrix' computer to do this work. Then the question is merely if this is possible. As it turns out we have Cloud cosmology providing so called second order Dark Matter which is a lattice of electron scaled particles that are neutral or close enough. This is quite able to contain the information needed to operate the the third ordered matter we experience.

The modern family
We have posted a lot regarding the natural community of around 150 people who know each other. Within that we have a handful of family type groupings that are produced through mutual nurturing. This nurturing is readily extended throughout a mature natural community through the simple expedient of a shared weekly feast time and sharing time. This type of communal activity is reflected back into the family grouping suporting internal nurturing. This is certainly what is possible but difficult with a nascent family formed ad hoc. *The modern family* *Amid distance and estrange... read more

The Deadly Myth That Human Error Causes Most Car Crashes

Many colors become invisible or badly obscured in rainy conditions. So just fix this already.

Atlantean Calender?
This is actually a discussion worth having. Please observe that the orbits of the Earth and Moon are tightly tuned and we draw our calender options from all this. Now understand that 52 weeks times seven days for a total of 364 days. At the same time 13 X 4 X 7 happens to be 364 days as well. For that reason a calender of thirteen four week months makes the best sense of all. It will still need an occasional leap day or so in order to keep it perfect, but we are already used to that. The best solution is to retain our twelve month of 28 days and to add a celebration month ... read more

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper Sues Over Memoir Redactions*Trevor Filseth* *Mark Esper, Americas* The Defense Department issued a series of restrictions and specifically asked Esper not to describe conversations he had had with Donald Trump or quote the former president. Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper has alleged in a lawsuit that material in his upcoming autobiography was being inappropriately blocked from public release by the Defense Department, impeding his ability to publish an “unvarnished and candid” recollection of events at the end of the Trump administration. The book, titled *A Sacred Oath*, is Esper’s commentary on... read more

China Doesn't Have the Manpower To Operate Its Growing Drone Arsenal*David Axe* *Chinese Drones, Asia* Unmanned Aerial Vehicles aren't exactly unmanned. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *After nearly two decades of war, the Pentagon employs tens of thousands of experienced robot-handlers. It could take many years for China to build up similar human capital. China reportedly activated one of its Soar Dragon large spy drones to keep tabs on a U.S. Navy cruiser that sailed through the Taiwan Strait in late July 2019. The *Ticonderoga*-class cruiser USS *Antietam *transited the Taiwan Strait on July 24, 2019 as a show of force. In addition to the... read more

The Five Best Attack Submarines of the Cold War*Robert Farley* *Submarines, Russia* Many of the boats designed and built during the Cold War remain in service today, and concepts developed will continue to guide submarine construction for the foreseeable future. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The United States enjoyed technology and design advantages for most of the Cold War that allowed its submarines to operate much more quietly than their Soviet counterparts. History’s three great submarine campaigns include the First Battle of the Atlantic, the Second Battle of the Atlantic, and the US Navy’s (USN) war against Japan... read more

The Marines are Getting Serious About Sinking Enemy Ships*David Axe* *Marine Corps, * The Marines are prioritizing anti-ship missiles. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Observers long have expected the Marines to cut back on heavy combat forces in order to free up money and manpower for new anti-ship units. The U.S. Marine Corps a few years ago started saying it needed to get serious about sinking enemy warships. Now the amphibious branch is putting its money where its mouth is. The Corps is asking Congress for money to start buying two powerful new anti-ship missile types. One is a new version of the venerable Tomahawk cruise mis... read more

Why Was There No Successor to the SR-71 Blackbird?*Trevor Filseth* *SR-71 Blackbird, * The lack of a successor, and the SR-71’s extreme capabilities, provided grist for the rumor mills that sprung up in the 1990s about a potential successor aircraft to the Blackbird. The SR-71 Blackbird, one of America’s fastest and most storied aircraft, was first retired by the U.S. Air Force in 1988. Although it was briefly brought back into service during the 1990s, it had been firmly grounded by the Air Force in 1998, and by NASA the following year. Strangely, although the normal cycle of military aircraft calls for each generation to be r... read more

Why Can’t the Japanese and Koreans Get Along?*Doug Bandow* *Japan, Asia* Perhaps the Biden administration should moderate relations between its two squabbling allies. Another year is about to pass as a critical diplomatic stalemate continues. Some people had hoped that the recent political changes would jumpstart diplomatic talks, but so far there has been little movement. What can be done in the coming year to move diplomacy forward between Japan and South Korea? Tokyo recently swapped one Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) prime minister for another. Newly installed Fumio Kishida is a “dove” within the LDP system, who, rep... read more
