However, a loophole was found in the 1960's. No kidding. This day is also celebrated in the UK, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and USA, even Hawaii. Tonight I bring to the dining room table a bottle of Irish Whiskey. Maybe a Redbreast. We are tonight being served corned beef and cabbage.
Success!!! The James Webb Space Telescope sent its first true image yesterday, a star called 2MASSJ17554042+6551277, more commonly known as TYC 4212-1079-1, located 2000 light years away, and up close, 16 times brighter than our Sun:
From all reports, the Federal Reserve will soon initially raise the federal funds rate a bit, perhaps 50 basis points, or 0.5%, and continue doing so until the benchmark rate reaches as high as 2% by the end of the year. There is concern about consume prices rising 7.5% on an annual basis in January, a four decade high. HISTORICALLY, THE MARKET TYPICALLY DROPS RIGHT BEFORE A STEEPER-THAN-NORMAL RATE INCREASE. Funny, though, as the U.S.market surged after Feds announced their intent to raise rates.
The S&P is already down 8% from its 3January2022 record high. Keep in mind that historically, a year after major rate decisions, all the markets increase around 20%. There are always exceptions.
On the Trump-front, one of his senatorial candidates yesterday questioned the existence of evolution. Said Herschel Walker: At one time, science said man came from the apes, did it not? That's what's interesting, though. If that is true, why are there still apes? Thing about it. He will be running against Georgia Democrat Raphael Warnock.
Yesterday I posted on THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF LIFE. Today, and every year around St. Patrick's Day, I will return to the subject of EARTH ARK, for I saved this portion of the future of intelligence in our Universe for more definitive clarification. Part One today just introduces the subject, which is to determine the ideal composition of life to include in our first attempt to send the first EARTH ARK to an ideal extrasolar planet.
Of course we all know about that 600-year old Noah, who in The Bible built that fabled ark. It was supposedly in Mesopotamia sometime between 2,000 and 10,000 BC that this effort succeeded, I think. It took him around 50 years to build his ark. Incidentally, you can today view Johan's Ark in the Netherlands and Ark Encounter (left) in the U.S.: $100+ million version in Kentucky of I-75m built by Answers in Genesis.
That's all for today. In a year, further speculative details on what life (or robots or cyborgs or AI) forms to be sent out on the first EARTH ARK, plus what the ship will look like, how fast it will travel, energy details, wormholes, cost and whatever else. If this blog site can continue on for a millennium, perhaps by then an actual design can be provided.
