The Thue-Morse sequence (base two) doesn't even have a string of three
zeros or ones. So an irrational sequence need not even have
arbitrarily large strings of digits.

true -- I tried to study a book on those strings, once --
but it is not really a value of anything; is it?

like, Brun's constant converges, but it is not known,
what the exact value of it is (if it has a "closed form"
or what ever).

no, no, no. the molecule of silver oxide in the film,
is what the energy "collapses" into, a very small area, indeed,
all done "electromagnetically," using shifts in the orbitals
of the electrons. now, I guess it is more of a question,
how it is that the wavefront of light "flows"
through the medium of space, without actually being
absorbed by the atoms.

the ideal of aether pretty-much faded, as the ideal
of atoms became prevalent & better comprehended;
did it not?

if you look at the original problem of Bernoulli and Liebniz,
the path of quickest descent through a variable medium
(the atmosphere, a continuation of "space"), it seems that
the "frictionless" aspect of it is akin the masslessness
of your beloved photon--is-a-rock, a known absirdity
that has always been passed-over, even in this "ray-tracing"
of the problem of light, the brachistochrone.

so, if A=mcc, where does the "creates energy" come into it?...
don't you see, where you've stuck yourself, a blythe conundrum
of wordage?

thus quoth:
The effect this transition has on the surrounding aether and matter is
energy.
Mæther decompressing creates energy.
Mass is conserved.

thusNso:
wait a second; now, you're saying light can't have
both electrical & magnetical components?... sort of like,
the general confusion over mathematical duality,
where you can't actually use both of the pair
*at the same time*, unless it is a "two-column proof"
a la Pascal.

a more proper statment would be, like,
a photon is a boson, not neccesarily a momentumless,
no-dimensional point of light, and mainly because
young et al showed that all of the essential properties are wavy.

so, if light is the one thing that might not really be a particle,
what is one thing that might not really be a wave?

well, isn't a simple theorem from series,
that such a sequence ... never mind;
you'd have to decide, where to put the decimal point
in the base-greater-than-two.

I never read a word about Palin's hubbie's Seccesh "movement"
in the Liberal Media (Owned by consWervatives) and
that is sort-of the issue in AZ. I'm all for kids whose parents
managed to sneak
across the border & give birth, but I was taken aback
by the "sense of entitlement" that the older kids have, about college
(the DREAM Act; I stated to a group of them, that
crossing the border is essentially a Mexican "rite of passage," and
it is certainly not very dangerous as a proper hike, if you check the
FAQs
and maps & so forth from the Mexican goment (and those advocacy/
haven groups in the USA). well, it's either that or college *in*
Mexico, or
you'll probably be made to join a gang.

La Raza d'Atzlan are openly racist, not just by their title; at least,
that's the impression that I got, attending one of their meetings
at UCLA, two or three years ago -- it's in their God-am constitution.

of course, teh real problem is "free trade," and this is already here
to roost;
the little spill in the Gulf is being used by British Petroleum --
which is also
the #1 driller in the Alaska North Slope, that Ted Palin works for --
to creata an "outsourcing" mandate to solve the problem, because
we can't do it with our post-industrial cargo cult.

well, screw it;
read LaRouche, if you want to know the history with Lincoln
and his "Spot Resolutions;"
Cinco de Mayo should be a pan-american holiday!

Dear AG candidate Kelly;
no change from Jerry Brown's '69 "platform," eh?

it is intolerably stupid, insofar as we do need "fossilized fuels TM
(sik),"
to not get our share from our own "reserves." really, though,
it is merely biomass, and the techniques have progressed since '69.

Dubya's bro's ban offshore of Florida (and Louisiana) seemed like
a tactical maneuver to support the oilcos' scarcity programme
in our state. (why O why O why do folks believe,
that the oilcos did not support the Kyoto Protoccol,
which was just another cap'n'trade "free trade" nostrum,
that Dubya'd have undoubtdely signed, if he had been told?)

British Petroleum, the balls-out advocate of cap'n'trade,
"Beyond Petroleum," is also the biggest company
in the Alaska North Slope -- doesn't any body wonder,
why no-one asked Palin about her BP-employed hubbie, and
his Seccesionist ideals?

one must take into consideration, with all of the hype about it,
that oil comes out of the ground underwater in "seeps,"
under pressure. so, how much would come out, if
BP et al ad vomitorium were not pumping like crazy?

Waxman's current cap'n'trade bill just mandatorizes the huge,
voluntary cap'n'trade since 2003 -- tens of billions
in hedging per annum. what the Liberal Media (Ownwd
by consWervative) don't talk about, is that
he brought the first cap'n'trade bill in '91,
under HW (who worked with Gore on the Kyoto cap'n'trade).

what it amounts to, as Waxman basically admitted to,
when he was at UCLA, is "let the arbitrageurs raise the price
of energy, as much as they can in the 'free market' --
free beer, freedom!"

a small, adjustable carbon tax would achieve the same ends
-- as I even read "in passing" in a guest editorial in the WSUrinal,
as well as from an "expert" in a UCLA seminar, but who said that
it was (some how) "politically impossible" --
without being the Last Bailout of Wall Street (and the City of
London).
