We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
Christian Action Against Antisemitism @caaauk · Jan 18, 2024 “I stand here as a Christian Reverend, representing millions of Christians around the world who are proud Zionist - believing in Israel and the Jewish people” “We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish people, even more than that, we stand in front of the Jewish people - if ‘they’ come for you ‘they’ must go through us first”. “Am Israel Chai”
Rjim 🐈⬛ @Rj_v_L · Dec 25 Translated from Dutch The latkes were delicious tonight, just like the carrot salad. The Christmas dinner with offspring was very cozy. And now, enjoying that, taking a quick look at X, I see this over-the-top nonsense. What a hysterical and obsessed bunch of sad sacks they are. Tomorrow, latkes again!
Israeli scientists say that minuscule organisms can adapt their own RNA to survive extreme heat. Using a new method, researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science have mapped sixteen types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; the findings could lead to improved RNA-based medical technologies.
Elite purity tests used as a mechanism for social exclusion share characteristics with the exclusivity practiced by certain groups in the time of Jesus, such as some Pharisees and Sadducees. Jesus often challenged these groups' stringent interpretations of religious law and their focus on outward appearance, which they used to judge and marginalize others [1]. Common parallels often drawn include: Emphasis on Outward Observance: Both historical religious elites and modern groups sometimes prioritize strict adherence to specific rules, rituals, or behaviors as a sign of worthiness, rather than the underlying intent or compassion [1]. Marginalization of the 'Unclean' or 'Other': In the time of Jesus, certain individuals (like tax collectors, Samaritans, or those with specific health conditions) were deemed "unclean" or sinners and excluded from full participation in society or religious life [1]. Similarly, modern "purity tests" can categorize people as "impure," "unworthy," or "not truly committed" if they do not meet a certain threshold. Hypocrisy and Inconsistency: Jesus frequently criticized the religious leaders for their hypocrisy—holding others to standards they themselves did not consistently follow, or neglecting fundamental moral principles like justice, mercy, and faithfulness in favor of minor rules [1]. Gatekeeping Power and Status: The religious elite used their interpretation of the law to maintain social control, power, and status [1]. Modern equivalents might use "purity" as a gatekeeping mechanism to control access to groups, resources, or influence. In his teachings, Jesus consistently challenged these notions of purity, instead embracing the marginalized and emphasizing internal faith, genuine repentance, and love for others over rigid, exclusionary laws [1].

Whittaker Andrew P. WhittakerAndrew P. Whittaker Follow The Timeless Universe: Rewriting Physics Without Time Paperback – February 23, 2025 by Andrew P. Whittaker (Author) 5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (1) What if time does not exist as a fundamental property of the universe? What if the equations of physics can be rewritten without time, relying solely on spatial energy interactions? The Timeless Universe: Rewriting Physics Without Time challenges one of the deepest assumptions in modern science: that time is a necessary component of physical laws. In this ground-breaking book, the author presents a radical rethinking of physics, arguing that time is merely a human interpretation of energy state transitions, rather than a fundamental dimension of reality. By removing time from general relativity, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and the standard model, the book explores a new paradigm where motion, causality, and entropy emerge from spatial relationships rather than temporal progression. Through rigorous theoretical exploration, supported by alternative mathematical formulations and references to cutting-edge physics, the book introduces a time-free theory of everything that unifies the fundamental forces in a purely spatial framework. From black holes to quantum entanglement, from cosmology to faster-than-light travel, this work explores how abandoning time-based thinking could reshape our understanding of the universe. Key Concepts Explored in the Book: ✅ Why time is an illusion – tracing its origins in human measurement rather than universal necessity. ✅ Reformulating physics without time – reinterpreting general relativity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics in a spatial-only framework. ✅ How causality and motion can emerge without time – redefining the concept of change through energy distributions. ✅ What a time-free theory of everything looks like – presenting a unified equation based on energy gradients and spatial configurations. ✅ The consequences of misapplying time in physics – exploring how time-based thinking could limit our understanding of deep space and quantum reality. ✅ The dangers of assuming time’s universality in interstellar exploration – revealing why linear time measurement may be impractical or even hazardous beyond Earth. Who Should Read This Book? 📖 Physicists & Researchers – seeking to explore alternative frameworks for fundamental physics. 📖 Students & Academics – interested in questioning conventional assumptions and engaging with frontier theories. 📖 Science Enthusiasts – fascinated by new perspectives on space, time, and reality. 📖 Futurists & Thinkers – curious about how removing time could impact interstellar travel and human advancement. This book is a thought experiment, a scientific challenge, and a paradigm shift—one that dares to ask: What if time has never existed? This book serves as the conceptual foundation for later volumes, including Proofs and Experiments for The Timeless Universe and The Deterministic Universe.
