Ancient Chain Reaction

I was wondering if it were possible that actions taken by creatures that lived millions of years ago is affecting events that are happening today. I can give you an example. 

A dinosaur living 75 million years ago sees a dismembered leg on the floor and it smells a bit off but the dinosaur is hungry so it eats the leg. The next day the dinosaur feels sick and weakened and that caused a hunt to fail. A herbivore dinosaur that was earmarked to be eaten survives and it lays 5 eggs, 3 of them hatch and survive for more than 12 years. One of the juvenile dinosaurs dislodges a boulder and it rolls down a hill and a stone breaks off the boulder, it is then  buried under sediment. 

75 million years later. 

The dislodged stone is exposed  by erosion and a passer by thinks it looks like pastie, he later names his new dog Pastie because the name got stuck in his head. Someone hears the man calling his dog pastie and that inspires him to open a bakery. Then later the bakery is bought by another person and he turns it into a pub. He called and pub a "The  bakery". Friendships are formed and relationships started and even fueds start off under the roof of the pub. 

All of those events that happened in this scenario hinged on the dinosaur getting sick. If the dinosaur decided not to eat the festering leg, it would have full strength the next day and eat the herbivore. The juvenile dinosaurs would never be born because their mother was eaten before she could lay eggs, the juvenile dinosaurs were never born so one of them didn't dislodge the boulder and the stones were never exposed to human eyes. The pedestrian doesn't name his new dog pastie because he doesn't see a stone that looks like a pastie. The neighbour of the pedestrian doesn't decide to open a bakery because  he isn't triggerged by hearing the pet name. The site where the pub is, is just a house and all the events that would happen in the pub, all the friendships and relationships  never happened because the pub isn't there, it is just a normal home standing in its place. 

The event that are triggered by the pub never happened because the pub isn't there. It isn't there because of a decision made by a dinosaur 75 million years ago. 

I wonder if the whole world works like that, someone reading this blog article now does something different because of the blog and the chain reaction lasts for eternity forever changing events around the whole world. 

Random Thoughts

I was laying down in my bed the other day thinking what is the point of everything, we are here for now then we are gone. I guess the answer is not to think about it because you'll never get the full answer, you'll have to wait until God tells you or you may never get an answer.

There's always some depth to a person, you can lay down and think about life for a little while and ask questions that can never be answered and be alone in your thoughts. In that place you're alone but that's fine. 

I was wondering what trains would be like if I was in control of their design; I especially think about pier trains because they don't need to be fast. I would make the train look very beautiful with thin marquees that detach from the body of the train so it can look as good as new on a regular basis.  

I was looking at the evercade alpha the other day, I think it would be a good idea if it had a riser so it could be played without being set down on a desk or table. Playing computer games is my thing. 

Potatoes and Heat

Jacket potatoes taste better when they're roasted in the oven than in the microwave because the heat slowly roasts them from the outside. The microwave causes the potatoes to heat up from inside out. In winter I don't care too much about the oven being used because the heat is used twice, it cooks the food and helps to heat up the home. The thing I was wondering was. 

How long does the heat stay there? The heat energy is transmitted from molecule to molecule but it doesn't move in a straight line, some of the heat energy would zig zag and even travel back into the oven from the edge of the room. The way I look at it is energy released in the core of the sun slowly moves from the core to the sun's surface, the journey can take millions of years because the photons don't go in the straight line, they bounce from molecule to molecule in a tangled random route, when the photon finally gets to the sun's surface, it takes just 8 Minutes to move across space to our planet. I thought similar things would happen with an oven, some of the heat released travels around the room for 2 or 3 years before finally leaving the room; most of the heat would escape in less than 2 hours but a tiny.portion of the heat energy would remain there, perhaps 0.00001 % would still be there a year later. 

Just There

 The other day I was sitting outside looking at the trees swaying in the breeze thinking of nothing for a little while. I see the trees were driven by purpose, it was reaching out, reaching out for the light and reaching out below for water, the solvent of life. I live for those little moments when I forget about who I am and where I stand in the world and just observe the world. Looking up at the clouds and the grass on the ground and breathing in the fresh air in the morning. 

My steadfast tea drinking parents that I love very much always showed me the beauty of reading. Recently a few years ago they bought me a kindle paper white. It imitates the inky paper-like nature of real books. With amazon prime, you're permitted to read through a selection of e-books on your kindle account. I thought I should mention that on here because that feature wasn't available when I first set up my kindle  account. At this time of this post, you could read a lot of popular books for free. It's still nice to keep real books. Some of the best books I have come across have been from charity shops; I'm guessing that when people are done reading them, they send them to the charity shop to be read by a new person. They're making space on their book shelves. 

Take time to be still and allow the good positive thoughts to seep through your mind. Perhaps on your day off, early in the morning. 

Stride-opeds

When I'm walking through a hallway in my work place, I think to myself if there is a way to put  powered wheels under my feet so I can get about without moving my legs. Then I think to myself that my legs are already decent vehicles; They have adaptive suspension, they hardly ever go wrong and if they do, they heal themselves. They're powered by peanut butter sandwiches  and are extremely efficient, I can walk huge distances with just a simple meal. I imagine my legs are entirely powered by muscles below my hips. So I'm perched on my hips and everything below can take care of itself. For some reason, thinking of my legs and hips as a separate vehicle I sit on makes walking easier, like I can just relax all the muscles in my torso and arms and just let my legs do the work. I could call my legs stride-opeds 😆

If I go onto a lift , I have repetitive thoughts. I think to myself that the lights in the lift use more power than the lift itself. This is because the motor doesn't lift the box directly, it uses pulleys and a counter weight. I imagined being able to stop the lift motor with my hands because it spins very fast but with low torque pressure. The pulley system converts the turn speed into a slow rotation with high pressure just like the first gear in a car. When your car is in first gear the turning speed is converted to torque pressure so the wheels turn slowly but with more force than  the engine itself. I don't know if I can stop a lift motor with my hands though, I only know they turn with less force than the last pulley in the transmission. 

Then as the doors close I wonder if the world behind the doors exists. If we're living in a simulation then things that I can't see would disappear. If there is a glitch in the simulation, the doors could open and there is nothing there, just darkness. Then I think to myself that the simulation thought is silly and I just think about what is relevant to that time. 

Alien Ethics thought

Suppose an alien civilization visited earth in a star ship and gave mankind a gift. The gift was instructions for how to make a self replicating nano machine that kills all viruses. They read through the instruction manual step by step and assemble a tiny machine and release it into the world. 

A few months later, a vast cloud of Ammonia and Methane seeps out of the ocean into the air, fish start dying and then land animals die as well as humans. They then realise that some of the viruses in the world were stopping Bacteria from becoming too numerous. Bacteria that makes Ammonia and Methane gas was being killed by viruses but now they weren't because the anti virus machines wiped them out. But it is too late, mankind is doomed. 

What would be the alien's crime? They didn't make the anti virus machines themselves, they gave the instructions to people but they didn't tell them to make the machines. They may have known that some viruses are keeping us alive by killing harmful Bacteria. What if they said that it would be bad to build it jokingly so they still warned us but we thought they were joking. How would you even categorize their crime?
