Notable Deaths in May

With May behind us, we now have another month of notable deaths to analyze.

Deaths among those younger than 70 years of age compares to previous years as follows:

• 22.26% in May 2018
• 21.97% in May 2019
• 23.71% in May 2020
• 25.95% in May 2021
• 23.70% in May 2022

When we look at absolute numbers for May we get the following:

• 575 in May 2018
• 619 in May 2019
• 814 in May 2020
• 883 in May 2021
• 692 in May 2022

Using a severity formula that divides old deaths by 10 and multiplies young deaths by 4 we get the following:

• 557 in May 2018
• 592 in May 2019
• 834 in May 2020
• 981 in May 2021
• 709 in May 2022

We see that May 2021 was the worst, with May 2020 second. Numbers for May 2022 are better than 2020 and 2021, but still elevated relative to 2018 and 2019. There's also no sign of improvement since April 2022.

Dipole Gravity

Newton assumes in his work that gravity is a monopole acting with equal force in all directions, regardless of intervening matter. These assumptions are central to his shell theorem which puts the center of gravity at the center of astronomic bodies regardless of the position of an observer.

However, this assumption is not well tested. While we observe gravity to be an attracting force wherever we look, it's not a given that this force is without a directional component. For instance, gravity may act most strongly perpendicular to the surface of bodies.

If gravity has a directional component, as the case would be for dipole gravity, the center of gravity for large spherical bodies will be dependent on the position of observers.

Center of gravity relative to position

In the above example, observer A sees the center of gravity located at a. Observer B sees the center of gravity at b. Being farther away from the surface, he sees the center of gravity located closer to the geometrical center. Observer C sees the gravitational center at c, which is even closer to the geometrical center.

Gravity drops off more quickly at low altitudes than Newton predicted in his work. We get Newtonian results for our satellites and Moon, and we get Newtonian results at the surface. But we get a quicker drop off in gravity in between.

Any astronomic body with a dipole component to its gravity would exhibit this non-Newtonian gravity near its surface. Orbits low enough to be affected by it will be faster than Newton predicted.

This opens for an alternative explanation for the Mercury anomaly. It may not be due to curved time-space as Einstein suggested, or smaller clocks as I've suggested. It may instead be due to dipole gravity. Mercury makes its rounds around the Sun faster than predicted by Newton because it's close enough to the Sun to be affected by its dipole gravity.

Earth, on the other hand, may have this anomaly limited to altitudes within its atmosphere, and the turbulence of our atmosphere has made this escape detection. However, a simple test can verify or dismiss this hypothesis. What's required is a balloon or airplane capable of smooth flight, a precise altitude meter and a precise gravity meter. It's so simple to perform that it must have been done many times already. Yet, results are strangely hard to find.

As for the source of this hypothetical dipole gravity, there's plenty of room for speculations. If matter has a shielding effect on gravity, we have dipole gravity simply due to shielding. People like Peter Woodhead and Wal Thornhill have speculated that gravity is a dipole by nature.

I have suggested that charged matter has stronger gravity than neutral matter. If so, we can expect a dipole component due to capacitance because capacitance is a dipole phenomenon.

Uncharged and charged capacitor

When a capacitor is charged, as illustrated above, the dielectric comes under stress and we get a directional component. This will result in gravity being stronger straight up than to the sides.

When we apply this to astronomic bodies, which are charged spherical capacitors, they too will have this directional component. We get gravity acting with a dipole component perpendicular to the surface of these bodies. The result is dipole gravity due to electric charge.

Satellite Orbits

Wikipedia claims that satellite orbits verify Einstein's formulas for time dilation because the exact time and position of satellites are continuously adjusted. Their article makes it sound like Einstein's equations are used to calibrate clocks and fine-tune positioning.

However, this cannot possibly be how things are done because there are other, more serious issues to consider, and these issues are of a kind that cannot be predetermined. Hence, adjustments to satellite orbits cannot be pre-calculated. They must be based on synchronization with Earth based stations.

Satellites are subjected to a wide range of factors that would make them go off into space or drop down to Earth if not adjusted for. Unlike orbits of planets and moons, there's no self regulating mechanism that kicks in to keep satellites in place. They must regularly adjust their orbits, or they will be lost.

There is for instance a solar wind that pushes things around. Like any kind of wind, it's strength varies in an unpredictable manner.

Earth's gravitational field is not smoothly distributed across our planet. There are gravity anomalies that makes Earth's gravitational field lumpy and irregular. Earth's gravitational field is not even constant. It varies in 5.9 year cycles.

There's also the fact that Earth's rotational speed is irregular. It speeds up and slows down in unpredictable ways.

Continents drift. Earth may even be expanding. There are irregularities for which we have no good explanation.

Expanding Earth seen from the South Pole

None of this can be pre-calculated. The only practical solution is therefore to use ad-hoc algorithms based on feedback from known positions on Earth.

It follows from this that satellites do not in fact verify time dilation, because any issue related to this phenomenon is taken care of by ad-hoc synchronization routines rather than careful calculations.

Hanging the Censors

I wrote this post back in September where I predicted that the first to be held responsible for the misconduct of the elite over the past two years will be the censors. Specifically, I mentioned Facebook censors.

As it turns out, this is now happening. The head of Facebook's science fact check group has been summoned to a court in Paris. There are issues related to his fact checks.

It remains to be seen if the man will be held responsible for damages. He may simply have to answer a few questions. Either way, it's an uncomfortable position to be in, and I'm sure censors everywhere are paying attention to how this pans out because it may soon be their turn to explain their actions.

World Economic Nonsense

The World Economic Forum has organized another meeting in Davos, and the noise coming out of that club this year was even more bizarre than it used to be. We had the CEO of Pfizer talking about implants that can administer medicine to people based on algorithms and remote decision making. We had an Australian politician suggesting that we redefine what freedom means. We had banking CEOs promoting the virtues of a cashless society.

None of this was very economic in any classical sense of the word. The vision promoted is feudal, with a small group of people administering the resources of the world, while the rest live as serfs. The economy would be run by a system of taxation and subsidies, with no-one free to make any decisions for themselves.

However, such a system cannot possibly work. We all make decisions for ourselves, and we do it all the time. Freedom is not merely a moral belief system, it's the only workable solution to anything. If every action required permission, we would never do anything, so there has to be some degree of freedom for there to be any activity.

People will figure out that the elite requires agents, and that these agents are largely autonomous. They may not legally own the resources that they administrate for the elite, but they control them. Hence, they can act as if they are the owners.

People will see that certain possessions are taxed more than others, and that some possessions aren't taxed at all. Gold and silver coins will come into vogue in a cashless society.

Freedom cannot be redefined any more than gravity can be redefined. It's a stupid idea that only serves to expose promoters as ignorant and evil. Medical implants are equally idiotic.

The most stunning aspect of the display was the hubris with which the speakers have talked. They seem unaware of the level of contempt that they are under. The health minister in Norway posted on Facebook that she wanted to give total control of health issues to the WHO. The reactions were mostly angry faces and laughs. Only a tiny minority liked the idea.

The elite is either clueless or desperate at this point. If they don't soon step back from their nonsense, something is likely to snap.

Monkeypox in Portugal

Portugal is a small country. There's only 10 million people living here. Yet, it's the country in Europe with the most cases of Monkeypox, second only to Spain with a population of 47 million people.

There's currently 119 cases of Monkeypox in Portugal. That's about 10 cases per million. That's four times as many per million as in Spain.

With so few cases overall, it's impossible to conclude anything from these numbers. Portugal may simply have been unlucky. However, it's worth noting that Portugal is the most vaccinated country in Europe. If we see Monkeypox continuing to spread at an unusually high pace in this country, we'll have further evidence in support of our conspiracy theory that predicts the spread of unusual diseases among the vaccinated.

A Convenient Court Case

Johnny Depp has just won his defamation case against Amber Heard. That's good news for Depp and bad news for his ex. However, the significance of this case goes deeper than this. It has served a lot of people well.

In one fell swoop, women are no longer to be trusted unconditionally. The #MeToo movement has received a blow from which it may never recover. That's not a bad thing. However, it's also very convenient.

Joe Biden has been accused of sexual harassment. It's a fact that has been hard to paper over. But now that we can once again dismiss disgruntled women as hysterics, there's less to fear from the rumors.

Another convenient aspect of the trial is how it's been distracting from the investigations into the identity of sex offenders associated with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. There's hardly any mention of this investigation.
