2021·05·29 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Spot (i.e., paper) Prices

Last week:

Gold $1880.70
Silver $27.63
Platinum $1172.00
Palladium $2834.00
Rhodium $25,500.00

This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.

Gold $1904.50
Silver $28.03
Platinum $1187.00
Palladium $2878.00
Rhodium $24,400.00

Unfortunately, when looking at the prices only on Friday, you lose some things. Rhodium took a hard hit during the week, dropping below $20,000. At least, according to Kitco. A different site I sometimes check never noticed that drop, so when rhodium came right back up again the downward plunge disappeared, for them. Gold definitely seems to be on an uptrend, and perhaps silver is too. Rhodium is off its all time high, but I am waiting to see if it will truly start to go down.

Torque and Angular Momentum (Part V of a Long Series)

Introduction

Having run out of precious metals to babble about, I’m going to change tacks. If you’ve been here a while, you might remember two postings I did on stars. These were independent posts, having nothing to do with politics (poly = many, ticks = blood sucking bugs) and at least some people enjoyed them. I wanted to go to the opposite end of the scale and talk about a certain sub-atomic particle, but then I realized that the best way to do that would be a very, very, very long post. (And yes, it’s a subatomic particle, but it has a lot to do with stars.) A huge part of it would be explaining where physics stood in 1895, and how three discoveries in the next four years basically overturned things, and eventually led to that subatomic particle, the real star (ahem) of the whole series.

So I decided to break this story up into pieces. And this is the fifth of those pieces.

And here is the caveat: I will be explaining, at first, what the scientific consensus was in 1895. So much of what I have to say is out of date, and I know it…but going past it would be a spoiler. So I’d appreciate not being “corrected” in the comments when I say things like “mass is conserved.” I know that that isn’t considered true any more, but the point is in 1895 we didn’t know that. I will get there in due time. (On the other hand, if I do misrepresent the state of understanding as it was in 1895, I do want to know it.)

Also, to avoid getting bogged down in Spockian numbers specified to nine decimal places, I’m going to round a lot of things off. I use 9.8, below, for a number that’s actually closer to 9.80665, for instance, similarly for the number 32.

Dimensions and Units

I have another go-back.

I’ve been re-educating myself on a lot of this stuff, and I find I’ve been glossing over some critical distinctions.

In particular I’ve been sloppy about the one between dimensions and units. I may very well have never misused the one word to refer to the other thing, but even if not, I haven’t clearly drawn the distinction, and it may have led to some confusion (or at least the sense that I am switching my terminology without any particular reason).

To try to make it clear, let’s take as an example something that, though we’ve not covered it here, is something quite visual. Area. We all know about the area of a room in a house, and we typically measure it in “square feet” which is to say, how many squares a foot on a side will fit into the area. (If it’s irregular, or has fractional measurements, obviously we can cut up our squares into pieces to fit them in.)

The units of area here are in square feet, or feet•feet or ft2. But an area could just as easily be measured in square inches, or square yards, or square centimeters, or square meters. There is also the acre (which is 1/640th of a square mile), and the hectare (10,000 square meters or one square hectometer (100 meters on a side), roughly 2 1/2 acres). Those would all be different units for area. But the dimensions of area are length x length. Length is the thing a foot, or a meter, or a furlong, or a light year, actually measures, just as an acre measures area. When we go to talking about dimensions, we’ve divorced ourselves from any particular measuring system, and we’re talking in the abstract.

So, looking at work, in metric the unit of measurement is the joule, which is a newton-meter, which in turn is a kilogram-meter/second2 • meter, or abbreviating, kg•m2/s2. But the dimensions of work are mass•length2/time2, or abbreviating, m•d2/t2. (Unfortunately m can stand for the dimension mass, as well as the unit meter, adding to potential confusion.)

Physicists–and hard scientists in general, actually, engage in something called dimensional analysis from time to time. If they’re working on proving a relationship between two different things, the dimensions had better match up properly, or they’d know to go back to the begining and start again. For example, if Einstein, while writing that famous equation, E = mc2, had not had the dimensions match up, he’d have wadded up the paper he was writing on and started over.

But there’s also unit analysis. And chemists do this a lot because they have all sorts of specialized units of convenience (like the calorie) and often have to convert from one unit to another. Of course we do this all the time as well, just rather informally, but there’s a way to lay things out so they come out right and we don’t just have to guess.

Let’s say you own a large warehouse, 330 x 660 feet. You want to brag about how big it is because you want to sell it to someone. How many acres does it cover?

As I mentioned above a square mile is 640 acres. We also know that there are 1760 yards to the mile and three feet to the yard. (Pretend you don’t know anything else, in particular forget the number 5,280.)

So you can get the right answer, guaranteed, by doing something like this:

Write: 640ac/mi2, mi/1760yd, mi/1760yd, yd/3ft, yd/3ft, 330ft, 660ft.

The last two are the two numbers that go into your area, when you multiply them together you’re multiplying two lengths to get an area. So from a dimension analysis standpoint we’re good with those, but multiplying them together gives you 217,800 ft2 and we don’t know how to relate that to acres. So for now let’s not multiply them!

That’s where the rest of the crap I told you to write comes in. Look at each one. They’re all fractions equal to one. In the first case both top and bottom are equal to a square mile (or they’re both equal to 640 acres), so that first term is equal to 1. That’s true for the other four terms too.

So you can take your 330ft x 660ft and multiply it by all five of these and not change it, since they’re all equal to 1.

Let’s combine things.

640ac • mile • mile • yard • yard • 330ft • 660ft
——————————————————————————————
mile2•1760 yd • 1760 yd • 3ft • 3ft

The first thing you can do is cancel out the units. Feet, for instance, appears on the top twice, and on the bottom twice. Remove them all! The same with yards (twice on top and bottom). And mile shows up twice too, so remove them all.

Now you’re left with nothing but “acre” in the numerator, and a bunch of numbers.

640 acre • 330 • 660
——————————————-
1760 • 1760 • 3 • 3

This means when you do that arithmetic, you will have your answer in acres.

You can do some cancelling, you can divide the 330 and 660 by 3 and get 110 and 220. Then it turns out that 1760 is 16•110 (and therefore 8•220) so you can do some more canceling and get 640 acres / ( 16•8 ). This should be readily digestible as 5 acres.

This sort of procedure can be used to convert from metric to US customary, too, provided you know a conversion factor somewhere. For example, I know the metric system weights fairly well, and I also know something about the US customary system weights, but the only conversion factor I can remember is that 31.1035 grams makes up a troy ounce. I know for regular grocery ounces it’s 28-point-something but can never remember. So if I have 500 grams of something, how many grocery ounces does that weigh?

OK, working “backwards” from the desired answer to what we have, start with 16 oz / 1 lb. Then get there from grains, and get to grains from troy ounces, and get to troy ounces from grams:

(16oz/1lb)•(1lb/7000gr)•(480gr/1ozt)•(1ozt/31.1035g)•500g.

When you go through and cancel out all the units, you’re left with oz as the sole standing unit. You can then multiply and divide all those numbers and get that 500 grams weighs 17.63696+ grocery ounces. I only have to remember ONE conversion facter from US customary to metric, so long as I know the conversion factors within the US customary system. (The internal metric ones are much easier to remember!)

OK, that’s out of the way. On we go.

Torque

Up until now we’ve been working with forces that go entirely into making the object move from one place to another.

That’s because we’ve implicitly assumed the force was directed through the center of mass of the object.

However, you know, and have probably known since the first time you tried to push on an object as a baby, what happens when you don’t line up with the object’s center of mass: The object does some combination of turning and moving, and that motion isn’t in the direction you pushed!

Let us, for now, pretend we’re on a frictionless surface (or, perhaps, in orbit, freefall, which for complicated reasons is called “microgravity” by sticklers).

Figure 1A shows an object, and a vector representing a force applied to the object. The dot is the center of mass of the object. The force does not go through that center of mass.

Figure 1B shows the vector resolved into two components, a radial component (through the center of mass) and a transverse component, perpendicular to the radial component.

If your point of view is the center of mass, the transverse component is the one you see as a vector against the background. The radial component looks like a vector pointed right at you. (Figure 1C)

Figure 5-1 Off-center orce applied to an object.

As it turns out the radial component goes into pushing the object, and the radial component’s direction, not the direction of the original force is the direction of the shove, the sort of shove we talked about way back in part 1 when we talked about mass and force.

The transverse component will set the object to turning around its center of mass. (Or, if the object is fixed to a pivot, the object turns about the pivot.) This action is called torque.

Not only that, the induced rotation will be around an axis that’s perpendicular to the radial component of the force. And it will also be perpendicular to the transverse component. (That sounds complex, it really isn’t. It’s definitely one of those picture-equals-a-kiloword things. See Figure 2.)

Figure 5-2: A force off center causes a rotation around a an axis both perpendicular to the force, and to the vector from the center of mass to the point the force is applied.

Different objects will, depending on not just their mass, but also their shape (sphere, donut, cylinder, cube, flat sheet), orientation (it makes a difference whether a cylinder is oriented so the ends are on the axis of rotation, versus whether the axis passes through the “wall” of the cylinder), and mass distribution (is the mass uniformly distributed or is, say, most of it near the center of the object), resist the torque trying to get it to turn. These factors would be multiplied by the mass of the object to come up with something called the “moment of inertia.”

(If you see the word “moment” in a physics term, it has to do with getting something to rotate, either something like this, or, say, a magnet wanting to swing to point towards/away from a magnetic pole somewhere–that’s a magnetic moment.)

The moment of inertia of a point mass, m, at a distance r from the center of rotation (the pivot point), is mr2. You can determine the moment of inertia of actual, real shapes (not point masses) either around their own center of gravity or a pivot point elsewhere, by breaking the object up into infinitesimal (almost zero size) pieces, computing each piece’s moment of inertia, then adding them up again. This can be “automated” in large part by using calculus.

Note that moment of inertia seems to have dimensions mass • distance-squared.

For example, a solid, uniform sphere had a moment of inertia about its center of I = 2/5mr2, m being the mass of the sphere and r being its radius. And of course the center of gravity is the center of the sphere. But if it’s a spherical shell (where the thickness of the shell is very small compared to the radius), it’s 2/3mr2. If it’s a thin rod of length L, spinning around a perpendicular line through the center, it’s 1/12mL2. And moment of inertia doesn’t just apply to objects completely free to move. If that rod is attached to a pivot at one end, like (say) the arm of a wrench, the moment of inertia is 1/3mL2—four times as much.

Tedious stuff and I had to memorize it then (of course) forget it.

OK, here’s an application. You’re driving down the road and have a blowout. You now have the task of loosening the lug nuts on the wheel so you can change to the spare. Out comes the lug wrench, and you push on it to loosen the nut.

The handle of the wrench is a radial (displacement) vector, and you know, intuitively, that you get the most leverage if you push on it at a right angle, as far out as possible. You’re trying to loosen the nut which not only has a (very small!) moment of inertia but a lot of friction.

If it doesn’t want to come loose, you need more torque. There are two ways to increase the torque: Apply more force to the end of the wrench (making sure it’s perpendicular), or get a longer wrench.

By now you’ll have noticed a pattern. Any time doubling some piece of the puzzle doubles the effect, the formula is going to involve multiplying by that factor. In this case this happens to both the the force and the distance (length of the wrench). We use the Greek letter tau, τ, to denote the torque. Then, if Ft is the transverse component of the force:

τ = Ftl

So you can imagine applying three newtons of force to the end of a two meter wrench (if you can imagine a wrench that long!) or twelve newtons to the end of a half meter wrench, and getting exactly the same torque either way.

Note this isn’t a vector…but really, it should be! Torque absolutely has direction! Not only righty-tighty, lefty-loosey, but you’d never try to remove the lug nut by pushing toward the car or away from it, even though that’s also perpendicular to the wrench. You’re applying a torque by doing this, but it’s not in a useful direction. (In fact if you manage to bend or snap the lug, it’s worse than useless.)

So we have two obvious vectors, a displacement (length) vector, and the direction of the force. We also know from our personal experience that a perpendicular force exerts the most torque because the entire force is transverse. Other angles exert less.

So our vector formula should depend on the angle between the vectors.

Well, we have the dot product. Is that what we want?

No, it’s not. First, the dot product does not give you a vector…and torque absolutely has direction, not just amount (magnitude).

But the second shortcoming is worse. A dot product is zero when the two vectors are perpendicular, and is maximized when the vectors are parallel (and minus that same maximum when the vectors point in exactly opposite directions). That’s the exact opposite of what we want.

The Cross Product

So pardon me for just a few seconds while I bust out in those peals of evil laughter once again. Bwahahahaha!!!

We need the other way to multiply vectors. We need the cross product.

The cross product, represented with ×, is maximized for perpendicular vectors, is zero when the vectors are parallel (or point in opposite directions) and gives you a vector answer. Perfect! It behaves exactly like torque with force vectors in various directions.

And now you know why the dot product is always written with a dot, never a “multiplication sign” like you saw in elementary school. Because when it comes to vectors, those two symbols do not mean the same thing.

First the pictorial description. Then the trig. Then how to compute it given some vectors.

First, a cross product only exists in 3D space. It won’t show up in the Donald Trump 64D Chess Open Championship. Nor will it show up in your 2D diagrams, unless you’re really showing a slice of 3D space, in which case it still won’t show up in your diagram because it will point straight up out of the diagram (or into it).

The result of a cross product between A and B, A×B, will be a vector that is perpendicular to both A and B. To visualize this, make a fat L with your right hand (your right hand, not your left hand), with the thumb sticking out from the hand at a 90 degree angle. Now point the fingers along vector A. Now bend the fingers in the direction of vector B. (Hopefully you don’t have to contort yourself too much for this part. Figure 3 is safe, as long as you follow directions and use your right hand.) Your thumb points in the direction of the cross product, so long as the angle you sweep through is less than 180 degrees. (And for that matter, more than zero–angles less than zero would bend your fingers backwards, anyways.) If it is more than that, the cross product points the opposite way.

Figure 5-3: (Lifted from Wikipedia). The right hand rule for cross products.

This is called the right hand rule. You use your right hand to determine the direction of the cross product.

OK, now here’s a thing about cross products that will seem kind of odd. Do the same thing, only do B×A. Start with your fingers along B, turn your hand around so that you can sweep towards A. Now your thumb is pointed in the opposite direction from before.

Well, now, that’s odd! A×B actually is the opposite of B×A.

A×B = – B×A.

This GIF shows the cross product of two vectors in an animation, it pauses at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees but watch the cross product vector grow or shrink when it sweeps through the other angles.

FIgure 5-4: Again from wikipedia. Watch this GIF to see how the cross product changes with the angle between a the blue vector and b the red vector. Watch, in particular how the purple cross product arrow grows and shrinks while red vector sweeps through angles.

Now for the trigonometric interpretation. The magnitude of the cross product AxB is equal to the sine of the angle between them, times the magnitude of both vectors.

A×B∥ = ∥A∥ ∥B∥ sinθ

If A and B are unit vectors, it reduces to just plain sinθ.

Here, if you look at the angle from B to A as the opposite of angle from A to B, you can see why AxB = –BxA, because the sine of a negative angle is the same as the sine of the positive angle—except for a minus sign.

OK, now, if you’re dealing with two “raw” vectors, triplets of numbers, how do you compute their cross product?

It’s quite a bit more complicated than a dot product. However, there are a number of gimmicks to help you remember, and I’ll share my personal favorite.

Let’s take the vectors A = [2,7,3] and B = [5, 4, 6]. Let’s also take three vectors, i, j, and k. These three vectors are a physicist’s best friends, they’re unit vectors along the X, Y and Z axes. In other words, i = [1, 0, 0], j = [0, 1, 0], and k = [0, 0, 1]. (Note: I know I should put hats on them…but those characters are unavailable, so I’m settling for just using lowercase to denote a unit vector.)

Arrange things like this:

i j k
2 7 3
5 4 6

In other words, our unit vector friends, then vector A, then vector B.

Now repeat the first two columns:

i j k i j
2 7 3 2 7
5 4 6 5 4

Now start with the first i and run down and to the right, multiplying: i•7•6, which is to say 42i. This is a vector of length 42 along the X axis.

Do the same for j and k, you should get 15j and 8k.

Add these together, and get 42i + 15j + 8k. But, if you think of it, that’s just the vector [42, 15, 8], isn’t it? OK, save that off, we have to go on to the next step.

Start with k. Run down and to the left and multiply. k•7•5 = 35k. Move to the second i and do the same thing, then the final j. You should get 12i and 12j. You can add these up and get 12i + 12j + 35k. But that’s just [12,12,35], right?

OK, last step. Take the second vector and subtract it from the first:

[42, 15, 8] – [12, 12, 35] = [30, 3, -27]

Now I can say that (unless I made a boo-boo), [30, 3, -27] is perpendicular to both [2, 7, 3] and [5, 4, 6]. Which also means it’s perpendicular to the plane those two vectors are in (two vectors that aren’t parallel or antiparallel define a plane, but if the two vectors are like that then the cross product is zero).

Of course I can check that statement, and so can you. I can dot [30, 3, -27] with each of those vectors, if they are perpendicular the dot product will be zero.

[2, 7, 3] • [30, 3, -27] = 60 + 21 – 81 = 0

and

[5, 4, 6 ] • [30, 3, -27 ] = 150 + 12 – 162 = 0.

(So I guess I didn’t make a boo-boo.)

OK, that’s a kind of lengthy process. If you don’t like that, please, just remember the right hand rule and remember the gif. Those will tell you the direction, and give you a qualitative understanding of what’s going on.

Torque as a Vector

Okay, with that out of the way, back to torque. It’s the cross product of the force and the displacement vector, r, from the center of mass to where the force is being applied.

τ = r × F

We no longer need to specify the transverse component of F, the cross-producting takes care of that.

Let’s re-use the picture from Figure 5-2 and show you the torque vector.

Figure 5-5: The torque vector.

What about the units? F is a force and is in newtons, and r is a distance and is in meters. So torque is measured in newton-meters. Note this is the same units as work, but we don’t ever describe a torque in joules.

In the US customary system energy is sometimes measured in foot-pounds, and torque is quoted in pound-feet, just to keep them distinct.

And remember the direction of the torque is along the axis of rotation it’s trying to create. (In fact, it’s away from the car when loosening a lug nut, try the right hand rule to see.) If you find that counter-intuitive, you’re not alone. You might think the direction of torque ought to be the same direction as the force, or at least the transverse component of it. But on further reflection, that won’t work. In trying to loosen that rusted lug nut, I can be pushing down on a wrench sticking to the left, or I can be pulling up on the wrench while it sticks to the right. Those would be opposite torques if the direction of the torque were the same as the direction of the force. But they’re intuitively the same torque. If that isn’t so intuitive to you, then consider the case where you’re using one of those X shaped tire irons and you are pushing down on the left and pulling up on the right at the same time. The forces should cancel each other out, but clearly the torques they cause do not, they add together.

If you take both cross products left × down and right × up, both give you a vector pointing away from the car, and they add to each other.

Another way to look at is, the force, no matter where it is, is in a certain plane, the plane of the lug nuts. One way to specify a plane is to specify a line perpendicular to it. Of course, this is a vector, and can be anywhere so long as you don’t change its direction or magnitude, so a vector specifies any of a number of parallel planes (like pages in a closed book) depending on where you put it. A vector specifies a specific orientation of a plane, then,

There is actually another way to analyze a torque when you are forced to push on the lever at an angle that isn’t perpendicular. Extend the line of the force, either forward or backward. Find the point where it’s closest to the center of rotation. Use the full force at that point and the distance to that point, and simply multiply (the angle is 90 degrees, so the sine factor is 1). This works because the length reduces by the same factor as you lost by not applying the force perpendicularly; you can prove that geometrically.

Figure 5-6: By projecting the line of an off-perpendicular force, you can find a spot where it’s perpendicular (against a shorter radius vector) and that torque is the same, so it may be another method to visualize torque resulting from an odd-angled force.

Angular Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration

Imagine a wheel, free to turn, frictionless. You push on the outer rim. That’s a torque. How much does the wheel speed up?

As you might guess, it won’t turn at a high RPM immediately but will speed up as you continue to apply the torque.

You can actually draw a useful analogy here. We talked in Part I about applying a force to am object with a certain mass, causing it to speed up and, given a certain amount of time, covering a certain distance or displacement.

For rotations, we can apply a torque to an object with a certain moment of inertia, causing it to speed up in angular velocity (RPM is a measure of angular velocity) and eventually turn through a certain angle.

It’s actually a pretty tight analogy, everything “works.”

Distance (displacement) is represented by d. Angle, as you’ve already seen, is represented by lower case Greek theta, θ. But here’s the schiff in the punchbowl: the angle isn’t measured in degrees, it’s measured in radians.

A radian is 57.295779513082320876798 degrees.

Approximately.

Where the heck did that number come from? Okay, imagine you’re at a Biden rally, there to heckle, and you’re standing on the edge of one of those silly-ass social distancing circles. And the circle has a radius of 6 feet.

Now walk along the arc of the circle exactly six feet. The angle you covered is one radian. If you were to walk completely around the circle (why not? It’s not as if Biden is worth listening to) you’d cover 6 × 2π feet (approximately 37.699111843 feet), because the circumference of a circle is 2πr. That’s 2π radians. In other words, if you’ve expressed an angle in radians, you’re giving the ratio between the distance along the arc and the radius of the circle. And for reasons I long ago forgot (if I ever truly understood them) this is the most “natural” way to measure an angle, from a mathematical standpoint. (If you take a trig class you will learn like Pavlov’s dogs to recognize, for example, π/6 as being 30 degrees [with a sine of 0.5 and a cosine of 0.866+].)

Since an angle measured in radians is distance along the arc divided by the radius, you’re dividing length by length and a radian is actually a dimensionless value.

Velocity in a straight line is represented by v, the dimensions are distance/time Angular velocity, measured in radians per second, is represented by lower case Greek omega, ω. The units are 1/s, because the angle is dimensionless. Physicists usually write it as s-1, but I’ve avoided that so far and actually written fractions.

It’s possible to think of ω as a vector! It’s circular motion, though, so we cannot use the instantaneous regular velocity, just like we couldn’t define the torque vector as being in the same direction as the force producing the torque. You can define it as r × v or you can visualize it with a variation of the right hand rule. If the fingers of the right hand are curled in the direction of the circular motion, your thumb points in the direction of the vector. So if something is rotating counterclockwise (as seen by you), the angular velocity vector points towards you. [However, do not think of an angle as a vector; it doesn’t follow certain laws of vector addition. A long story…]

Mass is represented by m. Moment of inertia is represented by capital I: I.

Acceleration (in a line) is a. Angular acceleration is represented by lower case Greek letter α. And is in radians per second squared, i.e., 1/s2 or s-2.

And we’ve already seen F (linear force) and τ (torque).

You can follow through the analogy quite well. But I want to get to a specific destination, angular momentum.

But before we go there, if you’re really alert, you may have noticed one bit of the analogy doesn’t seem like the others.

Angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration are “sort of” like their linear counterparts, but in all cases, the displacement dimension disappears in the angular quantities.

But with torque, the displacement unit doesn’t disappear, it gets worse! Force is measured in newtons, kg m/s2. Torque is measured in newton-meters, kg m2/s2. There is a distance-squared in there, versus a distance, not the no-distance-at-all we’d expect from the analogy.

But in fact this is not a problem. A torque acts to accelerate an object with a moment of inertia at a certain angular acceleration. A torque, by analogy with F=ma, ought to be:

τ = Iα

I has units kg•m2 and α has dimensions 1/s2, combined they are kg m2/s2. This turns out to be newton-meters. So the analogy actually continues to hold, thanks to the fact that the mass-analog includes d2 in its dimensions.

And this is the case for momentum, and its analog, angular momentum as well.

Momentum is p = mv, yes, it’s a vector. Angular momentum is the same sort of thing, for a spinning object. It’s symbolized by L.

And you might expect angular momentum to be the mass-analog times the velocity analog. And indeed, it is:

L =

This has dimension mass•distance2/time, md2/t or in MKS units, kg•m2/s.

You can rearrange this a tiny bit, and get L = md/td.

Notice, though, the first part of that has the same dimensions as momentum. And d of course is the distance.

It’s almost as if angular momentum is just regular momentum, times the distance from somewhere.

And indeed, the formal definition of angular momentum of a particle of mass m at a distance d from some point is:

L = r × p

It’s back!!! Here’s the cross product, again, and I could even just recycle some of my figures from earlier on by changing F to p and τ to L. In fact, what the heck, here’s figure five with the central mass removed.

Figure 5-8: Figure 5, adapted to display angular momentum since the math is very similar.

People have a tendency to think of angular momentum as having to do with spinning objects only, or maybe their outlook is a little broader and they’ll give an angular momentum to one object running in rings around another.

But actually, angular momentum applies to everything. If you’re standing by a highway, and a car goes whizzing past, then from your standpoint the car has angular momentum, even on a dead-straight highway!

That definition above doesn’t say a single solitary thing about angular velocity. It does have linear velocity built into p, however! And the car certainly has a lot of that and a lot of mass so p is huge.

When the car was a mile away, it was headed almost directly at you. The radial component was almost as big as its total speed, and there was almost no transverse component. As it drives by, it’s closer, but all of the motion is transverse. This should sound familiar.

Figure 5-8: A redo of figure 6, noting a similarity between torque and angular momentum, this is very significant for angular momentum.

Here, I recycled figure 6, same substitutions. Instead of this being about the torque for a force applied anywhere on a straight line being the same, it’s the angular momentum that’s the same anywhere along a straight line, so long as the object is moving along with constant momentum.

I remember a story problem from a physics book (I cannot find it in my old college textbook, though). A child in a playground is running in a straight line, fixing to jump onto the edge of one of those rotating platforms that have probably been banned from playgrounds now because some idiot thinks they’re white heterosexual male. He has a constant angular momentum (seen from anywhere, but in particular the axis of the platform), then at the instant he jumps onto the platform, his motion is all transverse, and now that he’s revolving about the center of the platform, his motion will remain perfectly transverse. You can mentally relate angular momentum from rotation to angular momentum of an object moving in a straight line this way.

And, here is the freaky thing. You could pick any point on the diagram, and moving objects anywhere on the diagram would maintain the same angular momentum as they move along, relative to that point, as long as they don’t interfere with each other.

Conservation of Angular Momentum

You know, if momentum is conserved in a closed system, maybe angular momentum is also conserved. And indeed that turns out to be the case! Without exception, angular momentum in a closed system, relative to a point in that system, is conserved, and that includes objects in the system spinning about an axis. So even if objects interfere with each other by colliding, or whatever), the total angular momentum will remain the same.

The almost cliche illustration of the conservation of angular momentum is to watch a figure skater spin. When her arms are outstretched, she’s turning slowly, perhaps skating through a turn. Then she brings her arms in, raising them above her head, and suddenly she’s spinning, fast. Then she puts her arms out again and slows down. She’s reducing (and then increasing) the size of the displacement, so the rotation must increase (then decrease) so that the angular momentum will stay the same.

Figure 5-9: The inevitable figure skater angular momentum demo

I also remember, but cannot find, a video of an astronaut on Skylab. He’s “standing” perfectly straight, perfectly still. His angular momentum is zero. He then kicks one leg forward, and one leg back, he then sweeps them around 90 degrees–which makes his body turn, but only while he is sweeping his feet around in arcs. Then he returns to standing. He’s managed to turn himself 90 degrees to the right, but he is again motionless. It’s a demo of the conservation of angular momentum because while his feet were moving in arcs, his body had to rotate in the opposite direction to keep his net angular momentum at zero.

And of course there is the gyroscope, but that one is complicated…and I’m going to skip it. Suffice it to say that the force pulling on the axis of the gyroscope is being crossed with the angular momentum vector (which is through the axis), and a vector in a totally different direction results. Optional homework, go find some youtube videos of gyroscopes and see what they have to say.

Applications

But now, let’s apply this to something a lot cooler than lug nuts and kids in a playground and an ice skater. How about an object in orbit around the Earth?

If it’s in a circular orbit, then it’s going to remain moving at the same speed and it’s a no-brainer, the angular momentum won’t change because neither the angular velocity nor the distance will change, and you don’t even need the vector form of the equation, because in a circle the two are at right angles, always. (Of course to verify that the direction doesn’t change, go ahead and take the cross product.)

But what about in an elliptical orbit? At one end of the ellipse, the satellite is closer than at the other end. At periapsis (closest point) and apoapsis (furthest point), furthermore, the motion at these two points is all transverse. So if angular momentum is conserved, the satellite must be moving slower at apoapsis than it does at periapsis. At any other place on the ellipse the satellite has some radial motion, it’s either climbing to its apoapsis or descending to periapsis. So those are harder to analyze.

Figure 5-10 Angular momentum is conserved even when things don’t touch as seen in a satellite orbiting a primary.

Kepler’s second law, put forward in the late 1500s (!) describes the motion of a satellite in an elliptical orbit. But it doesn’t just say the satellite slows down the higher it goes, it goes further. It says if you draw a line from the primary through the satellite, and look at the area it sweeps out in some time interval, it’s constant! A fat wedge when the satellite is close in, a skinny one when the satellite is further out.

I always wondered how the heck Kepler figured that out.

I’ve seen how it’s done today; you do some calculus on the r and p vectors after setting their cross product to a constant (because angular momentum is conserved) and it pops out, very readily, in less than five minutes of chalkboard time. (And I don’t remember exactly how, just that I was surprised how readily it occured.)

But that’s not how Kepler did it. He didn’t know about the conservation of momentum, and he didn’t know calculus. No one did at that time, because Newton wasn’t even a gleam in his father’s eye.

So I’m still wondering how Kepler did it.

Another cool application of what we learned today to the orbiting satellite, is that it’s very easy to compute the orbital inclination. The orbit is in a plane. The primary is on that plane too, it’s at one focus of the ellipse. But the plane could have any arbitrary tilt. Maybe it sits right over the equator, and maybe it’s at some tilt (like the tilted circle on a globe that’s supposed to represent the ecliptic somehow–I always thought those were silly because as soon as the Earth rotates a tiny bit, that line is wrong).

If you have a measurement of the satellite’s position at a certain point in time and its velocity (including the direction!) at that same time, and they’re vectors in the right coordinate system (one where x and y point at two places over the equator and z points through the north pole), you can take the cross product. Both of those vectors are in the plane of the satellite’s orbit. so the cross product is perpendicular to that plane.

You can then turn that cross product into a unit vector. Take the dot product of it and the k unit vector (usually taken as pointing through the earth’s axis. (Actually you can save yourself some time. Just grab the third element of the unit vector). That’s the cosine of an angle, take the arccosine to get the angle. You now have the angle between a line perpendicular to the plane of the orbit and the earth’s axis, which is the same as the angle between the plane of the orbit, and the earth’s equatorial plane. Easy peasy, doable with almost no data.

This Week’s Mystery

We have a conservation law. I usually try to come up with an 1895 mystery too. Well we have one.

Consider the solar system. 99.9 percent of the mass is in the Sun, which is about 800,000 miles across, and rotates in about 28 days. That’s a certain amount of angular momentum.

The other 0.1 percent of the mass is in the planets (with a small fraction of that small fraction in asteroids, comets, etc). They’re light weight compared to the sun, but they are far out there, and remember there is an r2 term in angular momentum. Mercury, the closest one out, is roughly 100 times as far out from the sun as the sun’s radius. Neptune is almost 100 times as far as that.

It turns out that the vast majority of the solar system’s angular momentum resides in the planets. The Sun is the “one percent” when it comes to mass, but the planets are the “one percent” when it comes to angular momentum.

The mystery is how that came about. And any theory of how the solar system was formed has to explain how the heck all the angular momentum ended up out there in the planets, because angular momentum is conserved. You can’t have the sun just shed angular momentum, it has to be transferred. So if your theory can’t explain that…it can’t explain Jack.

A number of different ideas were proposed as early as the late 1700s, perhaps the most prominent of them is called the nebular hypothesis. It suggests that the solar system formed from a shrinking nebula of dust and gas. The nebula, when initially all spread out, is going to have some very small net rotation (it’s a random melange of particles moving at random velocities, after all; the chance of them all cancelling out perfectly is close to zero). As the nebula shrinks it’s going to spin faster, a disk will end up being formed and the disk will be clumpy and the clumps will eventually form planets because the clumps will tend to attract more matter to them.

Fairly elegant, but it could not explain the distribution of angular momentum, so by the end of the 1800s it had fallen out of favor. I had a book on the planets as a kid (which was probably about ten years old when I was born) that still considered it a mystery, and contained some of the alternatives that had been proposed, including one that suggested the planets had been pulled out of the sun by another passing star’s gravity. (If that one is true, then solar systems ought to be rare, rare, rare.)

Just this once, I’ll give it away now. Unlike back then, today we can actually see some stars forming, and they are surrounded by disks of gas and dust, exactly like the nebular hypothesis. Some astronomers have done a lot of work to refine the nebular hypothesis to make it more detailed and try to address the angular momentum problem…but they still haven’t succeeded. Yet we now know it must be correct, because we can see it happening right now. So the answer to this one is, we still don’t really know. It’s conceivable (though not bloody likely) that the conservation of angular momentum is broken (even though it has been reliably true every. single. time. we have looked at it). More likely, there’s some process at work we don’t understand, perhaps even transfer via magnetic fields.

But we haven’t got to magnetic fields yet…

imdb doesn’t have the quote (?), but it may have been “pumping the air out of the complex” instead of “evacuating the center” to avoid confusion with getting people out.

President Obama stopp(ed) gain of function research in 2014 due to the global risk of a leak from a lab. Then in 2017, in the first year of the Trump administration, unbeknownst to senior officials in the administration, NIH Director Anthony Fauci pushed through a restart of the dangerous research.

Obama stopping and Fauci unilaterally starting would explain why the media are willing to step aside and let Fauci take the fall. Defending and protecting President Obama are the primary objectives of the MSM and operatives embedded in the administrative state. Now the sudden shift makes sense. Those in the umbrella intelligence apparatus knew this type of investigative evidence was going to surface.

(PS – I don’t buy the “Obama stopped it” story one bit, which is not to say he didn’t, but rather that that was done in order to set Fauci up as the fall guy knowing all along they were going to use the scamdemic and might need a sacrificial lamb if things went sideways.)

Agreed. IMO Obama used the 2014 ban as a plausible reason to shift the research to China. Now there is need to protect Obama.

And the only reason there is a ‘need’ to protect the Hussein isn’t because anybody likes the Usurper, it’s because the Usurper is the buffer (or shield) between the light of day and Hussein’s handlers.

NATURE: Inside the Chinese lab poised to study world’s most dangerous pathogensMaximum-security biolab is part of plan to build network of BSL-4 facilities across China.
BY David Cyranoski
22 February 2017 Updated: 23 February 2017

A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns….

The lab was certified as meeting the standards and criteria of BSL-4 by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) in January. The CNAS examined the lab’s infrastructure, equipment and management, says a CNAS representative, paving the way for the Ministry of Health to give its approval. A representative from the ministry says it will move slowly and cautiously; if the assessment goes smoothly, it could approve the laboratory by the end of June….

 😱  [KEY PASSAGE!!!]

 🔻 

The Chinese Academy of Sciences approved the construction of a BSL-4 laboratory in 2003, and the epidemic of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) around the same time lent the project momentum. The lab was designed and constructed with French assistance as part of a 2004 cooperative agreement on the prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases. But the complexity of the project, China’s lack of experience, difficulty in maintaining funding and long government approval procedures meant that construction wasn’t finished until the end of 2014.

If you do not think the Chinese IMMEDIATELY started to use that lab, I have a bridge to sell you…

ALSO
The University of North Carolina is a BSL-3 biowarfare lab NOT a bio level 4!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>

Dr Boyle, mentions this paper Published on November 8, 2015
“A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”

It was Electronically

And LOOK who funded it! The National Institutes of Health under Fauci AND the State Key Program for Basic Research Grants from the Chinese Ministry of Science. Fauci not only funded the initial research but indicated interest in funding further research according to Dr Boyle.

SO…

TIMELINE:

1975 — Biological Weapons Convention
was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons.  It currently commits the 170 states which are party to it to prohibit the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. However, the absence of any formal verification regime to monitor compliance has limited the effectiveness of the Convention. As of April 2013, an additional 10 states have signed the BWC but have yet to ratify the treaty.
https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention

CHINA (1974) is a signatory as is the USA (1975).

1990 US Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989

passed into law in 1990. It provided for the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention as well as criminal penalties for violation of its provisions. The law was amended in 1996 and has been used to prosecute several individuals.

https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Anti-Terrorism_Act_of_1989

2010 — Dr Boyle mentions an Australian Gain-of-Function paper.
Published: June 22, 2010 Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) proteins of different bat species confer variable susceptibility to SARS-CoV entry

End of 2014 – Wuhan Lab completed.

2015 – UNC paper, “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.”

12 November 2015And just in case there is ANY doubt about what the UNC scientists were doing there is this article in Nature (the same guys who support Global Warming papers and refuse to print papers not supporting that conjecture.):
Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research (Update note from editors March 2020 denying lab made covid-19)

So it looks like they are busy covering up the Aussie/USA/China connections to this Gain-of-Function BIO-WEAPON

The most chilling moment, to me, was when the French Ministry of Health (or whatever its name is) abruptly yanked HCQ off the OTC medications list and out of pharmacies and drug stores…..despite it having been OTC for 60 years….and despite French citizens still regularly traveling to/from former colonies prone to malaria.

That’s when it became obvious that people were going to be killed and the killers didn’t care, and the conspiracy was worldwide.

Yeah, that was brutal. These people are Stalinists. They do the “Barr water bottle shrug” about “some people are going to have to die to fulfill our goals of fewer people which we think is good but we’re not sure but that’s OK because we’re running things and you’re not”.

Aubergine

I have thought a lot about that “Barr shrug.”

I never said a word about it, because at the time it was so pleasing to people because it looked like he was on OUR side. BUT.

That shrug and attitude were a bit disturbing. It looked like extreme arrogance and imperiousness to me. People like that are so confident in their essential “correctness” that they do whatever THEY think is right, without regard to others opinions. That can be dangerous.

I wanted to like and trust Barr, so I ignored the “pings.” I won’t do it again.

Macaroon is owned by the deep state. Like all good French politicos, he went to “all the right schools” and did all the right things. And, that he could fool around and then marry his “momma wife” with almost no repercussions despite a crime (underage) being involved shows he’s of a “protected” class.

Even though the French look away and sometimes secretly admire some ribaldry among/from their leaders, some things are a bridge too far. And Macaroon crossed that bridge years ago…

>>”abruptly yanked HCQ off the OTC medications list and out of pharmacies and drug stores”<<

“Emergency Use Authorization” may *only* be granted, lawfully, when there aren’t ANY other effective treatments / therapeutics / preventatives available.

This action by the French Ministry of “Unhealth” …

  • when viewed in combination with the murder of the Canadian couple (their business was producing HCQ);
  • and the destruction of the Taiwanese factory (again, producing HCQ);
  • and the intentionally flawed “studies” that indicated HCQ to be “ineffective”;
  • and the LSM media’s announcement of a “shortage” of chlorine for swimming pools;
  • and the continued, utter lack of Clorox / Lysol in stores (any business would have ramped up their supply to fill the increased demand … but that didn’t happen!);

… demonstrates a *coordinated* effort, world-wide, to restrict access to time-tested treatments / palliatives / cures.

Medical censorship.

One had pneumonia. The other was really laid low. Typically didn’t go to hospital until then.

A litte nit: there is reference to a red and green arrow in the figures «5-5», but there are two green arrows, one along the axis of rotation, and the other parallel to it out at the point where the force vector is. Presumably one of these should be colored red?

I just have to say, I’m enjoying that component multiplication example like one of those finger spinner things. I’m not moving on through your lecture, because I’m having too much satisfaction just marveling at the “essence” of vector multiplication which is shown by your ijk explanation.

Vector multiplication is somewhat intuitive by the right hand rule, but not fully, and not really. That mental concept avoids far too many of the numerical implications of what the cross product really is. Likewise, matrix multiplication is intuitively extremely unsatisfying – it provides the HOW but not the WHY. In fact, I’m almost convinced that the entirety of mathematics has been shortchanged by the matrix concept, and I sometimes wonder if there is a completely marvelous formulation of the same thing used “elsewhere” that might be vastly superior. In fact, when I read somewhere that Heisenberg’s “matrix mechanics” formulation of QM was understood by almost nobody, other than agreeing that it was correct, I felt a certain vindication in my despising the damn things. 😉

But I can dawdle over your example and “feel the mojo” of vector multiplication, and it’s really satisfying. It’s repairing a lot of “mathematical debt” that I incurred from the weaker points of some of my teachers, who were very good, but in some cases didn’t really convey the deep essence of certain things – for whatever reason.

So thanks! 😎 👍 🍷🐺 🎼 🔭

Dot-multiplication is just like regular multiplication – in involves a one-thing (magnitude) and another one-thing (same) to produce a one-thing.

Cross-multiplication involves a two-thing (direction and magnitude) and another two-thing (same) to produce a two-thing.

The problem is that “direction” isn’t the exact same thing as “magnitude”, even though they are both “measurable”.

It’s very much similar to the difference between the measurements (and motions) of “rotation” (circular) and of “translation” (linear).

It’s also similar to the “inexactness” of the integral (one must add an unknown constant “C”), as compared to the exactness of the “derivative” (no ad hoc addendum required).

Linear algebra may be of interest to you – it’s the basis for vector multiplication, and it explains the violation of the commutative property of multiplication (in matrices, A x B doesn’t equal B x A, except in rare (called “trivial”) cases).

As an example, a 4×3 matrix, multiplied by a 3×4 matrix, produces a 4×4 matrix.
But a 3×4 matrix, multiplied by a 4×3 matrix, produces a 3×3 matrix. Obviously the results aren’t the same.

Tenser calculus uses integration from one “metric” (a matrix, usually [x,y,z,t]) to another “metric” (the same shape matrix), instead of from one simple point (value) to another. It’s about as complex as one can get.

The “i j k” analysis Steve provided is a “short-cut” way of thinking – and very tough to grock unless one first has knowledge of linear algebra.

The “i j k” notation represents the three UNIT VECTORS which SPAN 3-D space; together, the three vectors form one of the simplest BASES to describe any vector in 3-D space.

Linear algebra is simply solving as many equations, with as many variables, as one wishes to.

Have three variables – x, y, z? One needs three equations to solve them completely. This is true no matter how many variables one begins with – the number of equations must match, or exceed, the number of variables.

If you’re into learning a bit about linear algebra, I suggest getting through Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, but bailing out on transformations.

It’s actually pretty cool stuff, and I found it helps in understanding mathematics IN GENERAL …

In the LYMPH NODES?

That might explain why the 5 Doctors, I think it was Dr. Northup, talked about bathing in hot water laced with alfalfa with organic soap, and the nano-particles leave the body and gravitate to the alfalfa, I assume via sweat.

The lymph system is right under the skin. It’s the sewage system for the body. Does the human body recognize the nanoparticles as foreign and try to expel them the way the body gets rid of the rest of the junk?

The Chinese have used lymphatic draining techniques for thousands of years using Gua-sha tools. This is typically performed after prepping the skin with an oil, like jojoba oil. The head and face are the usual areas that is performed on, since these areas in Traditional Chinese Medicine link to every “meridian” (energy pathway) to the body.
The Native Americans have also used lymphatic drainage. They typically did this using a dry brush (even a piece of wood or a stick) on the skin, concentrating on the torso, arms, and legs.

Deplorable Patriot

I follow a family of chiropractors that use gua-sha as part of their treatment. I like the concept.

I do think the real solutions to good health are found in a crux of indigenous traditional methods and the old ways. Yes, we do need modern medicine for the big stuff, but to avoid that, the natural methods are preferable, IMO.

Aubergine

There are massage techniques that you can do to yourself for lymph drainage. We do them at home.

To herbally cleanse the lymph system, red clover or cleavers teas are helpful. They have been used thus for centuries.

Deplorable Patriot

One of the reasons I walk first thing in the morning is to get the lymph flowing. Plenty of water goes with it. Spring water, of course.

How to Grow Alfalfa Sprouts

Alfalfa sprouts grow quickly, sprouting in just three to five days. You can grow them in a glass jar or a small tray, and you only need 1 tablespoon of seeds to get 1 1/2 cups of sprouts. These nutritious sprouts are high in antioxidants and are a great addition to salads and sandwiches….

One barn I took lessons at grew oat sprouts to feed to the horses since they are much more nutritious that just oats.

FDA document reveals 86% of children who participated in Pfizer covid vaccine trial experienced adverse reactions
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-27-fda-document-pfizer-covid-vaccine-trial-adverse-reactions.html#
comment image

……………….From the article:

(Natural News) A publicly-available FDA “fact sheet” document reveals that 86% of children who participated in a Pfizer covid vaccine trial reported adverse reactions ranging from “mild” to “serious.”

As part of the vaccine experiments, children aged 12 to 15 are being injected with mRNA sequences that take control of their cells, causing them to churn our spike proteins in their blood. Spike proteins cause vascular disease and blood clots. Even the Jonas Salk Institute conclusively identifies spike proteins as the culprit behind vascular disease and blood clots.

This is all openly admitted by the FDA, which has published extremely disturbing reports of adverse reactions experienced by children in a Pfizer covid vaccine “fact sheet” labeled 144413. See the original FDA document here (PDF). […]

Among those children injected with the mRNA vaccine medical experiment:

  • A shocking 86% experienced side effects.
  • Nearly 44% suffered “moderate” side effects defined as “interfering with activity.”
  • 66% of the children experienced fever.
  • 65% suffered headaches.
  • Other side effects experienced by these children as part of these medical experiments include chills, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, muscle pain and even joint pain.
  • Even after 86% of children experienced such side effects after being injected with the first dose, researchers continued to inject the children with a second dose.

……………….More at link.

And parents are just signing their kids up for this.

It serves two purposes:

When I was learning to drive, my dad made me learn All The Things required for maintenance, including changing all four tires in the driveway while he timed me. He gave me a metal pipe about 3 feet long that I would slip onto the jack handle to increase the torque. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. He also taught me how to hold and swing it to use it as a weapon, and made me keep it in the trunk in case I needed it on the side of the road one day.

He’s a great dad, but man he was hard to live with if you were a teenager 😂

It is very difficult to let things happen that kill people but sometimes that is what it takes to win a war. Never forget that POTUS Trump spent five years in a military school. Although he never served, due to the heel spurs, he had the MILITARY TRAINING to understand that.

The USA was slowly being bled to death and BRAIN WASHED so we would never notice our country was being taken by stealth. Given that brainwashing, a major ‘dislocation’ and even deaths are needed to get people to WAKE THE F…K UP!

I know the deaths of innocents is very hard to handle, but in this case I think it is absolutely necessary to bring home the fact WE ARE AT WAR!

Senior Member of CCP Think Tank Claims China Won Unprecedented Biological War Against the US in 2020 and “Put the US Back in its Place”

A senior member of a Chinese Communist Party think tank claimed China won a biological war against the United States in 2020.

Ping Chen, a professor of National Development at Peking University in Beijing said China “put the US back in its place.”

The video authenticity and translation was confirmed by New York-based Chinese blogger Jennifer Zeng.

“In 2020, China won the trade war, science and technology war, and especially the biological war. The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record. So for the liberal, America-worshiping cult within China, their worship of the US is actually unfounded. After this trade war and biological warfare, the US was beaten back to its original shape,” Chen Ping said.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

But only…”for people who are fully vaccinated”?

TheseTruths

Those pronouncements drive me nuts because their implementation makes no sense. How are they going to know who is “fully vaccinated”? Are they going to risk becoming known as the business that is segregating its customers, or, worse, denying service to some? And are they going to ask if people have had their full complement of two vaccines, making them “fully vaccinated”? Of course not. They are just going along with the narrative without having to actually enforce the rules or do anything to put themselves at risk.

They want people divided according to inoculation status, and they are putting the burden of doing that on us. No way am I playing that game. If they want to know my status, they can ask, directly, and suffer the consequences — which could entail having others hear the exchange, to getting the news media involved, to getting Congress people involved, to lawsuits. It’s not good for business, which is precisely why they’re trying to make us do it for them (in addition to conditioning us to be sheep). Not playing.

https://notrickszone.com/2021/05/27/whats-the-point-in-2020-china-built-the-equivalent-of-more-than-one-new-large-coal-plant-per-week

There has been a sustained global-scale effort to reduce coal power capacity in recent years. Meanwhile, China’s government has been busy loosening restrictions on coal plant construction to power its post-pandemic economy. In 2020, China built over three times as much new coal power capacity as all other countries in the world combined – with no signs of letting up in years to come.

While the rest of the world combined to commission just 11.9 gigawatts (GW) of new coal plants in 2020, China alone commissioned 38.4 GW of new coal-fired power capacity (Global Energy Monitor, 2021).

Over 73 gigawatts (GW) of new coal power projects were initiated in China last year. This is five times as much as in all other countries combined.

Here’s a little chart (click to embiggen):

Just looking at the trends (down is us, up is the Chyyyyneese), it’s obvious we’re losing this “battle”, and effectively funding Red China’s growth and world dominance…

I have known this man for years and never believed the accusation made against him. I’m glad the charges were dropped, but she should have to pay for what she put him through!

He can counter-sue for the attorney’s fees MINIMUM and for distress and tarnished reputation. I hope he does!

Video of health related professionals from around the world who state (one after another) that there is no actual global pandemic, and that the “vaccines” have not been proven safe and effective, and in fact are highly risky:

This video is not really informative or educational, it is a cry of alarm and warning. In this respect, it is similar to Dr McCullough’s warning posted by barkerjim.

1) I chuckled to myself thinking how, ironically, MAGA Deplorables will constitute a majority of survivors, until it occurred to me that the probable coming world will be Hell, regardless of who survives;

2) The most significant point (to me) Dr McCullough makes (in the video posted by Wolf a few weeks ago and the other video posted by barkerjim yesterday) is about therapeutics. Not only did TPTB not focus on therapeutics, they tried to make therapeutics impossible even to discuss, let alone try. To my mind, this proves their evil intent more than anything else, although their evil intent is inferable from numerous aspects of their ongoing Fakery and Coercion;

3) It looks like the End Game is here. The Satanists/globalists/communists/plutocrats, whoever, are all in. They are all but open and mocking in their blatantly fraudulent machinations and Fake Reality;

4) I see many on our side making guesses about electoral politics, mostly optimistic, and I truly hope they are on to something. There is certainly no reason to abandon the trappings of normality at this point, especially when we are at a huge, practical disadvantage in our daily lives. I simply believe, and could be wrong, but believe we are way past electoral solutions;

5) Substitute “because we are going to rule over the world” for every phony and fabricated reason they give for anything they do (and it is 100 % phony and fabricated, in your face phony and fabricated). It would normally be impossible to tell if their blatant lying is posturing or a genuine expression of might, or to what degree of either, but when I consider how they effectively control all the powerful institutions, and control half the minds in America, I think they are doing what they know they can get away with, without harming their position. IOW they can laugh in our faces, knowing that we know that they know that we know that they know. The essence of their sadistic desires;

6) I recently read a book named Friends Divided, about the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who disagreed on almost every issue, big and small. Unlike Jefferson, Adams foresaw what would happen to America eventually. Adams knew that America depended on the virtue of her citizens, and he knew that men were weak and sinful. Adams foresaw that corrupt, avaricious gluttons for power could use America in precisely the way America is being used now. He was prescient;

7) In thinking about the many institutions and corporations under the control of TPTB, the breadth and depth is breath-taking. It seemed to happen over night, but it did not. That thought, too, is breath-taking;

8) One of those institutions is the pharmaceutical companies. As recently as a year ago, a person could reasonably think they were merely greedy, amoral pigs, who at least produced things of benefit. Now it is obvious they are that, AND they are active players in the destruction of America for political purposes. Breath-taking.

Perhaps this is what Q meant when he said they will not be able to walk the streets.

If you hear about sex trafficking of minors or cannibalism, it does NOT have the same impact that spending a YEAR under ‘house arrest’ losing your business, watching your elderly die… AND then finding out it was a COORDINATED ATTACK by the Chinese/American CABAL on the USA.

This is how it needs to be done.

Left Attacks Trump Appointee Who Dares Tell the Truth: Immigration Is Used to Replace White Americans.
What can often get you in far more trouble than telling a big lie is telling a big truth. And it can really put you in hot water if it’s a big truth that threatens big power. Colonel Douglas Macgregor (ret.), a decorated Gulf War veteran–turned–consultant and commentator, is learning this the hard way.
.
The 68-year-old Macgregor, you see, has had the temerity to mention that Democrats are using immigration to effect demographic change that will help them win political power

They’re doing the same thing here, only using Moslems as the “replacement army”…..

Truly a good thing he did revealing FB censoring. Kudos for going public. He had to have known he’d get canned from FB. Rather sure he has already lined up employment elsewhere.

Well, that didn’t work, either.

The Five Doctors are: Dr. Lee Merritt, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Carrie Madje, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, and Dr. Larry Palevsky. We have taken a stand together to educate and clarify the ongoing issues of this Plandemic, the fight for your lives, your mind, and your very soul.
In this episode of The Five Doctors Speak Out:
Dr. Lee  – gives a big picture overview on why we don’t have clear answers. 
Dr. Christiane – talks can you tell us a little bit about why people are using white pine needle tea, anise, fennel, and citrus rinds as a source of schikimic acid, a pathway responsible for the production of vitamins and certain amino acids.
Dr. Carrie – explains what she is personally doing to avoid EMFS and to detox her system.
Dr. Sherri – tells why children and teens absolutely should NOT receive this injection and the approaches she personally is using to safeguard her health
Dr. Larry – takes the discussion home with how we can move forward through these tumultuous times.

Maybe for those who spend a lot of time working in an office would benefit from having an anti static mat on their desk earthed to any convenient place.

I’m about halfway through, and the highlights:

Dr. Merritt got too close to someone who had recently been injected, and had a nosebleed to end all nose bleeds that she stopped with HCQ and she was quite impressed with that.

Dr. Northrup advocates the citrus simmer HCQ substitute and is willing to try white pine needle tea. Fennel and anise are also mentioned. All women of child bearing years, pregnant or not, stay away from the injected, and refuse all injections while pregnant, and NO hepatitis B shots for the baby. Also, walk barefoot on the earth for 20 minutes a day for some electromagnetic something.

Dr. Tenpenny talked to a nurse who reads charts and the nurse has been reviewing the charts for the shot up. It seems that the worst of the reactions are girls/women using Nuvaring for birth control. Dr. Northrup said that that issue has been known with Nuvaring, and that the clotting issues involved with artificial BC are going to be magnified.

All three are seeing defiant independence among the 20-something crowd bound and determined to get the shots. The kids will not listen to anyone speaking against it.

Really, these people are on top of the issue.

My first citrus peel concoction is simmering on the stove. At this point, I’m just going to have to do it along with all the other preventatives. I’m not in an office situation, and can avoid public restrooms, but will be in Church at least a couple hours a week in multiple buildings for the next few weeks.

Go ahead, get and take HCQ & Ivermectin weekly.

I’m having a rough spring allergy wise. I’m just hoping that’s all it is.

bflyjesusgrl 🍊 😎NUCLEAR MAGA😎

I’ve been taking Serrapeptase for about 6 months now. Blood cleaner, scar tissue dissolver, mucous thinner. It really helps with my allergies, stopped my eyes and nose from watering nonstop. I still take zyrtec daily, but most days do NOT need additional Sudafed. Before the SPEP, I’d need 3-7+ 30mg Sudafeds daily.
