“The Bomb-Cleaner” (A Poem)

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

by Martin Anton Smith

My room is a messy cluttered disaster zone @ this is its homeostasis.

Being neat & tidy does not come natural to me – a main house I can be tidy –

But a personal bedroom has always been my disaster zone.

I’ve been thinking of the best way to quickly tidy up –

It is to explode a bomb in the middle of the room –

Entropically speaking this would have to work wonders.

For my room is always at maximum entropy.

I like to think of it as a model of the end state of our universe –

So disordered it can’t become any more disordered.

Physicists call this the ‘heat death of the universe’,

And contend that nothing at all can happen –

It would be like a giant timeless frozen hologram.

My ‘bomb cleans my room’ thought has made me think of an alternate Physics theory.

Or should I say a conjecture which is really just a ‘tentative theory’,

A proto theory if you will.

You see I propose that instead of frozen nothingness,

Something can happen.

But it can only move in the direction of decreasing entropy or increasing order.

i.e. I let a bomb off & it takes my dirty undies off the floor & they fly into a draw, nicely folded, clean.

The CD’s unscatter & leap back into the bookshelf.

The dust disappears & reattaches itself to my arms & as fibres on my coats.

What’s that you say egghead?

“Entropy must always increase”

Well, not if Physics laws are nestled in a hierarchy.

So for my “Bomb cleans up room theory” to work, this would be so.

The higher Physics law enabling this would be:

“You cannot have a universe where nothing happens”.

So instead of the Universe & my room Freezing – it has to do something.

It can’t get any more messy – it’s in a state of maximum disorder & entropy.

So the only thing it can do is clean itself up.

Which is why my dirty undies cleaned & re-drawered themselves.

This of course would entail us living our lives backward –

dead people would come out of graves, back to hospital & then start breathing,

grow younger & younger until you die by returning to you mother’s womb.

Perhaps this is what is already happening now.

“But that’s not how we remember things” I hear you cry!

“we remember being a child before being a teenager & an adult” I hear you utter.

This would merely entail we remember futures first & not our pasts first!

The Film of the universe is always running backwards, & our brains merely fixo chango it –

So everything looks normal.

Yes Yes Yes I hear the squirrely voices of you naysayers!

This conjecture is undoubtably true…

I say this without an ounce of overconfidence!

Now I really must leave this Royal Society lecture hall.

A spot of Bomb-Cleaning is in order.

For my room has reached Maximum Entropy & Chaos!

P.S. My other theory is I have gone totally doo-lally,

Which as a fiction writer, is actually a plus.

As I always never say:

Being backward is the only real way forward.

………..

Boom.

“Marcel Atkins – The 22nd Century’s Rogue Brain Chip Hacker” Pt6

Posted in dystopia, sci fi, short story, social commentary, UncategorizedTagged , , Leave a comment

Welcome to The Baby wants It’s Bottle Poetry Inc. Podcast, a creative project by Martin Anton Smith a NZ based creative. In this episode, I read part six of my Dystopian Sci Fi Novella, “Marcel Atkins – The 22nd Century’s Rogue Brain Chip Hacker” Lets begin!

While Marcel was doing the dull leg work before the exciting stuff would ramp up. He was re-studying the Viceroy Brain Chip coding schematics. His mind started to daydream back to that unique period where the G7 leaders and there military cohorts had been vaporized on the stage before the worlds watching eyes. Looking back he realized that moment was the start of a new ‘acclimatization period’. The hellish pungent cloud of flesh infused vapor and smoke that drifted off the stage, was the specter of Earths reset it’s new “year zero’. Of course in those first few hours and days, there was much skepticism and wild theories circulating about what was truly happening. This global uncertainty was fueled by the fact that Initially their was a 5 day “Phoney War” period where literally nothing happened. The booming voice that emanated from the sky immediately after the G7 vaporization event promising space ships to surveil and instruct the planet’s citizens, was notably still absent. The rampart skepticism in the air, was amplified by the ‘independent’ Podcaster’s. Their communal cry was evidenced by this later historic quote “This is a just trick of the Elites – the vaporization of the President, the G7 and Military leaders was just another smoke and mirrors play like we have seen for so many decades, just like The sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, just like The Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 and Just like the Weapons’ of Mass destruction ploy of 2002, the ‘Wet Market’ Virus of 2019” and the false solar electrical storm blackout of ’31, it’s all just junkem and bunkem listeners“. Marcel of course, followed these so called ‘independently minded’ ‘rebel’ podcasters, who since 2015 had risen and risen in their popularity dramatically with deteriorating global conditions. By 2051 the establishment Podcasters had reach their maximum reach, but their listeners didn’t ever really know how much their favourite podcasters were compromised by the system.

Marcel remembers those first 5 days before the Spaceship announcement as dark and full of suspense, where he was just sitting in his studio apartment listening to the Podcast hosts come up with various theories. top rating Leslie Frizelmann had an interesting theory at the time, one that resonated with Marcel. The theory was that the G7 and the Military that were vaporized on the stage were just simply a “culling of the puppets” by the real leaders, those of the ‘military industrial complex’ whose natural habitat was in the backrooms and shadows. They had now simply now put themselves out of the shadows and onto the stage for all to see. Why did they come out of the shadows? Technology. The advancement of technology had allowed these shadowy figures to have such complete and robust surveillance and control of all aspects of peoples lives, that there was now no need to hide at all. why would you hide if you are so powerful you can’t ever be beat? Because the mass surveillance and control of the masses was such an imperfect system up until 2051, they had to every now and then have an array of false Puppet leaders to take the fall, take the heat and so placate the global citizens. This was quite a good theory, and Marcel liked it for a couple of days while he was drinking coffee and lying motionless in his bed – like everyone else – all the 4.5 billion people of Earth were. Why only 4.5 billion people on earth in 2051? The coronavirus pandemic of 2020-2027 had taken the worlds population down from 8 billion to 6 billion, and since 2027 fertility rates had dramatically dropped all over the earth, meaning another 1 billion babies were never born, on top of that there were the 500 million dead in the ‘blackout riots’ of 2031 caused by the highly questionable Solar EMP event. These events left a stable population of 4.5 Billion as of 2051. The last reason for a non growing population was the culling of the structurally poor sick and homeless. Every year a new 100 million batch of ‘deplorables’ rolled off the production line, and these were swiftly eliminated and filed under the ‘self death’ category. So all in all the elites had achieved a ‘balanced personnel count’ as they coldly denoted that line in the yearly Earth in Balance Report.

within minutes of the g7/President Kincaid’s shocking-yet-celebrated podium vaporizations, competing theories of what was truly happening were zipping around the globe’s media airwaves like a flock of a million screaming, frightened bats suddenly flying out of their cave en-masse. The feudal elite system of the time simply couldn’t handle surprises, let alone ones this cosmically big. It was podcasters that people would turned too for answers. The Populist Podcast hero Leslie Frizelmann’s of the We Need More Hero’s Podcast theory was that the supposedly ‘alien voices’ emanating from the clouds were not of aliens at all, but were simply the existing but now ‘out-of-the-shadows’ ruling elite broadcasting using the most high tech methods available. The same bastards he said emphatically were simply pretending to be aliens, as a ploy to grab even more power and control. The other popular theory was from Roy Riley the Wrangler Podcast. Roy’s theory was that they Aliens were indeed real, and they were from the nearest star system of Alpha Centuri, and they were the same Aliens that had been visiting Earth for thousands of years, as per the still surviving records of the hieroglyphics and cave drawings from the Ancient and Paleolithic world.

Another geopolitical type theory was that it was China who was responsible for it all, and that it was finally ‘mopping up the tail’ with the world, which it had essentially been the financial master of since at least 2020, China was just now naturally asserting itself in all remaining domains of power – military and culturally and civically. While the ‘Aliens from Alpha Centuri’ theory was the closest, like all “conspiracy theories’ there are at least as many holes and omissions in the theory as spurious connections. It really was ‘theory soup’ in those first 5 days of silence, but still everyone was still hungry for the real uncensored answers. The reality was that the Earth was being subjected to the unfolding of the StarPeople’s long term Galactic plan, as per the Treaty and that was now coming to the implementation phase.

Looking back at the start of year zero – that is 2051, Marcel could see how blinded by fear everyone was and how the Podcasters and Philosophers lapped up the fear for ratings, as the parasitic system in place demanded. They amplified it and then cashed it in, and then slowly disappeared off the airwaves, only reappearing in watered down form as state holographic documentary narrators in June 10th 2053.

Now that it was 52 years later 2103, Marcel was a wise expert on the whole history, technology and philosophe of The Pleiadean StarPeople. He knew their motives. Their takeover, he conceded was brilliant as he often had marveled at over the years. They had made an amazingly stable system of totalitarianism, where prior earthling despots had failed. The Earth was an incredibly stable unit under their guidance, but it was also so robotic and soul-less, and marcel knew he could come up with a better system, one with a modicum of emotion but none of the bad long past history of war , poverty and deception.

Yes the Pleiadeans could have flexed their muscles at anytime over the last 2500 years, going back to the Greek philosophers heyday, but Earth was not in such danger from itself way back then. The StarPeople were wise enough to wait for fertile conditions, i.e. total chaos to organically arise on Earth. That policy was of course written into the Galactic Treaty Of Care. This mass global chaos would allow for absolute minimum resistance from the global Earth masses and so squelch the chances of any meaningful rebellion. The Earth’s humans would be so mentally and physically exhausted they would willingly invite Alien capture and control. Marcel had begrudging respect for the patience of the Starpeople to wait multiple millennia until Earth was such an floating, sitting duck.

The day before the ‘Vaporization Event’ Earth had already from the perspective of the ‘average working stiff’ had had 71 years of growing chaos poverty, reducing wages, job insecurity, crime and general disrepair. This structural downward spiral for ‘non elites’ had started since ‘the Grand Communicator’ Reinhardt Reagan was elected in the USA 1980. Reagan the ex Hollywood actor, had ushered in a so called new ‘free marketeering, low regulation, small government’ era of what was later to be called “Neoliberalism’. Looking from afar, this was exactly what the StarPeople were patiently waiting for. They’d just have to bide their time and wait till the insanity matured, like fine wine or camembert cheese.

The propaganda of the Reaganist system rolled out to the masses was brilliant in it’s effect. When telling of smaller less intrusive government, they made government bigger and tapped phones. When taking away worker overtime and holidays, they said the jobs would be more secure, then they fired everyone and set up operations in China or Mexico or insert third world country here. When telling kids to “stay off drugs” they sold cocaine to fund arms to murderous rebels in far flung foreign conflicts. This Reagan-led smoke and mirrors forign and domestic policy created a parasitic elitist era marked by total chicanery whereby the sweat of the everyman was collected and swapped for Bollinger for the parasitic, snobby speculating Reaganites. This system was best thought of metaphorically as an armored beast with high tech weaponry. The Beast up to 2051 had many mouthpieces for mass broadcast of propaganda and key messaging, many hands and arms and legs that could hold and move many guns and shields; a multiple hemisphered brain for different levels of cloak and dagger decision making .

One mouth of the Beast was the broadcast media – this was the mix of radio/podcast/tv/newspapers/social media; another mouth was Line and Middle managers, Board members, CEO’s, Executives; another mouth was global thinktank operatives, Politicians, Public servants , Schoolteachers, Scientists and Professors. The hands and weapons were the Military, Spies & informants, Army, Airforce, Navy, Cyberforce, SpecForce, & Police. they with their offensive and defensive armory, the guns, radar, surveillance tech, missiles, nukes, real viruses, computer viruses. The Brains of the beast were the major owners of the keys sectors of the economy the captains of technology, health care, financials, real estate, energy, materials, consumer discretionary, industrials, utilities, consumer staples, telecommunications. This Beast over the decades expertly hoovered up and directed all assets so that by 2051 any cash formally held by small and medium businesses and families or even countries themselves had entirely disappeared. Reagan as a key initial mouthpiece and then the ‘Reaganist philosophy’ of Neoliberalism was in truth just an accelerated version of what had always happened over the long term. This accelerated global program as created by the brains of the Beast would over the next 7 decades systematically erode all the remaining key regulatory social and economic safeguards that had been installed by necessity worldwide at the end of ww2 .

These social and economic safeguards, such as a minimum % of bank reserves required to cover toxic assets and loan defaults, The right for workers to form unions, public ownership of key societal assets such as water roads and schools, family home ownership, the right to freely associate, the right of free speech. President Reagan his elites were told by the ‘brains‘ to view this seemingly ‘about face’ in policy simply as an intelligent and required, much belated, return to natural order social normality. The brains had to pull the pin on the falsely inefficient and kinder world that came out of the ashes of WW2. That falsity of safeguards and protection, indeed promotion of the average joe, were 100% necessary in the immediate decades after ‘Great Depression and War years’, but were always designed to be at some stage, rolled back. This temporary postwar sunshine lead to a economic boom whereby the average joe could become comfortable, raise a family and even become rich if he worked hard enough. By the time Reagan had come along, the Elites, i.e. the so called ‘brains‘ had grown miserable at this situation of sharing wealth with the deplorables. After all, the deplorables didn’t even wash or brush their teeth regularly. They didn’t like to see these in realty, battling normal people do well. For deplorables to do well this meant that the myth of we-are-elite-because-we-are-brilliant would be roundly myth-busted. The worlds elite ‘brains‘ had to take the world back to its equilibrium, that is a feudalist society with them as Kings. From day one of this system, the brains just had to put themselves in a suitably armored & weaponized body walk out the gated communities and into the ghetto, and their fully actualized utopia would come to full enlightened fruition……………………

The key years of the ‘elites strike back’ of 1980-87 were astutely managed propaganda by a compromised media and Politicians. A simple mantra message was put out by the ‘beasts’ mouth to the masses: “Regulation is bad, government owning things is bad, worker rights are bad, non materialism is bad, stuff is good, debt is good, money printing is good, inflation is good, poor people are lazy criminals, pharmaceuticals are good, working 70hrs a week and no social life is good, global thinktanks dictating policy is good, greed is good“. The mass indoctrination of the world worked far better than expected – the naïve world masses took the indoctrination to heart and danced joyfully under the sword of Damocles. In the end the deplorables, the masses, the people, the earthlings grew nauseous, and the doctors orders were for them to cheerfully dig their own graves, jumped in and cover themselves with freshly dug dirt. Yes by 2051, the party was finally over, the well had been totally sucked dry. The Neoliberal, neo feudal Reaganist agenda was complete, the brains and the beast had spoken, the hammer had come down, and the World had become the elitist utopia long dreamt of – a genuine feudalist system again.

The World of 2015-2051 was for everyone other than the feudal overlords and their lackeys, a place of random murders, no police presence, no home ownership for non elites; mass legalized people trafficking; the complete disappearance of small businesses and local craftsman. By 2040 There was only a maximum of 1000 gigantic non competitive companies worldwide. Communication was now completely mitigated via technology and the internet, and no one would dare to talk to anyone who didn’t already have a similar internet/social media echo chamber as them. World Mainstream Media was controlled by a single nominated elite player – the 100 year old ‘Rudolf Kromwell’. The Media had long brainwashed the public with the ‘big lie’ trope of the brilliantly intelligent high aristocratic priests of commerce and government, and by tacit implication the belief of how you were not them and couldn’t possibly succeed outside your lane.

There was under Reagist Neoliberalism & the Beast, installed into the deplorables minds a major distrust and fear from anyone on a face to face level of communication. The only free sphere of commerce was that they had allowed a culture of high IQ quasi independent Podcasters to develop – the theory here was that this would mop up and distract the inevitable 7% of people who were naturally alpha and willing to die for a cause. These people would be allowed to communicate with the average deplorable joes, who would have any residual rebelliousness drawn off them and absorbed by the alpha persona but 100% Proof Reaganite compromised Podcast hosts.

By 2051 the disarray and cold heartedness of the people was so complete anyone who had become homeless or too poor was simply euthanized by the corporate owned private police. By 2051 inflation had long destroyed any interest in saving money. Huge swaths of population were fully reliant on the Corporate Welfare crumbs that were thrown to them. There was no marriage to speak of, as only the elite aristocrats and neo-feudalists had a financial and social reason to get married. With all mature non aristocratic men being subsistence level poor, no women were interested in marrying them, and marrying an elite was illegal and punished by indefinite detainment in Labour camps. 2051 was a world of unhealthy single people with irrational ideas, no dating culture with the occasional engaging of meaningless on the spot perfunctory sexual release via corporate funded ‘Street ‘n’ meet Sheds’. Of course with infertility so high, there was low risk of pregnancy’s, and where they happened there was on the spot abortions that no one saw as a problem anymore. For all but the anointed ones, earth was a law-of-the-jungle society, a technical dispirited loveless wasteland, a real life hell hole. By its full maturity in 2051, this Earth-ian, dystopian reality was a genuine new ‘Dark ages’. A place where poverty and fear were harvested by a few Kings against a powerless indoctrinated and unaware serfdom. Marcel was always sad to recall this dark History, but always happy he in 2103 was alone the gatekeeper of these genocidal memories of a long forgotten, in fact erased Earth. If he could remember the past, he could also change the future, and the future was finally now.

With the rise and both slow-yet-swift installment of Feudalism, The Pleiadean StarPeople patience of 25 centuries of clandestine surveillance would now pay off magnificently. The perfect time to strike had now appeared before their eyes. For they knew neo feudalism was tapped out completely. It had become internally destabilized and so pave the way for a worldwide on every level breakdown. The breakdown thus triggered two major and necessary preconditions of StarPeople invasion. Firstly would be the full breaching of the key intervention terms of the “Galactic Treaty of Care’. Secondly the beaten down populace would be ready to accept any new system other than the Neo Feudalist, Reaganist one they were ensconced and enslaved in. Thus this would be an opportunity to invade and impose a new galactic control system run astutely by their authoritarian overarching galactically intelligent AI computer they called Aurora. With this they would soon have yet another, ‘healthy wealthy and wise’ new Milky Way Planet in their Federation. The beauty of this, foolproof system, was that Earth’s 4.5 Billions of downtrodden serfs would happily welcome the Alien invasion. Any initial fearfulness or panic from the serfs would be a minor footnote in Galactic History. The holographic AI written headlines of Galactic Federation History would in time tell of an overjoyed, content and healthy Earth populace who warmly embraced a new otherworldly era of galactic Citizenship, that was The 2051 Reconfiguration of Planet Earth.

Marcel again started thinking back to those first 5 days after first contact…how he his head was spinning while he digested all the theories spewing out of from Leslie Frizlmann’s Podcast, which was by the way called “We Need More Hero’s Podcast”. Leslie, who was in reality a fat bloated goatee wearing pig, had always been happy to air listeners comments and viewpoints on the ‘let the listeners yelp’ segment, and now he was sorting out all their mixed up theories on air in real time as the alien invasion crisis was evolving. Leslie had always been so calm and had the gift of a booming bombastic manly but silky smooth voice, but now it had turned almost ‘squeaky’ under the volcanic pressure of it all. Leslie was of course, was no “man of the people”. By that stage independent media was decades gone. Like all the 2015-2051 Podcasters, Leslie Frizlmann had basked in the duly apportioned sunlight of the Feudalist overlord elites. Just like how old world prime CIA informants were eventually retired and rewarded with big estates in leafy suburbs, nice cars, beautiful ex soviet bloc wives and all the vices they required with no consequences. Those last generation Podcasters were a lucky few had loophole freedom. Only those ‘one in a million’ who happened to be naturals at being great movers of men’s minds and therefore of strategic use to the feudal elite were allowed to freely move to Podcaster fame. While the feudal era up to the shift of 2051 was quite messy, it usually put the right bastard in the right bastard hole, that you could be assured of, so long as you could be corrupted to further Reaganite Feudalism’s evil needs of oppressing the global populace. The 2015-2051 pre reconfig era “Rebel Podcasters” had all been slowly turned into “company men” of the elite who were only too happy to speak through one side of their mouths to the listeners, as they simultaneously used the other side to denounce the elite to the fanfare of their false idolizing and desperate lower class listeners. The Podcasters had kidded every vulnerable dope that they were true prophets of a future rebellion. Little did they know that by 2051 they had only 5 final days of glory left after President Kincaid and his lackeys were vaporized and the Revolution would be done to them by the Starpeople. Little did they know that they’d also have to wait another 72 years for Marcel Atkins to attempt to save them.

Marcel continued to ponder the past as he daydreamed away in front of the Viceroy brain-chip schematics he was studying. The interesting thing about those first 5 days after the “vaporization event’ , that awesomely frightening day when the full G7, World Military and president Kincaid were zapped in front of a global audience of 4.5 Billion, was the psychological stages the worlds masses all went through. It started with denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and then finally exhilaration. Exhilaration of the thought of a better, fairer, safer and more equitable world. Collectively everyone was euphoric that maybe, just maybe the last 70 plus years of Reaganite feudalism was over. Many many tears did flow freely from those poor naïve souls eyes. Marcel allowed a proto sweat and a proto tear to form, he knew exactly how to surgically manage his emotions, so as not to affect his hacked brain chip, so as to not give the game away. Marcel thought this premature celebration from the masses he saw back in ’51 was also reminiscent of a time before his in a book he had read as a teenager. The book called “Hope, Change and status Quo” which was about the smooth but ultimately ineffectual first African American President named Batrack Lowbloomer .

In those key moments of history, the Earths public always had a bad record on picking good leaders from bad ones, or to put it more succinctly, bad ones from really bad ones. There was a distinct negative correlation observed whereby Presidents who were somewhat good were hated by the public, and really bad ones were loved. But then with all the emotion based Media brainwashing going on this was exactly the plan. The People were in a constant state of cognitive dissonance back then, so Marcel had long realized.

On the sixth day, Marcel had recalled that finally the numerous identical Space craft appeared every 60 km’s in grid formation the sky, all were about 500 meters above the ground, and of pyramidal shape, pulsing with a green all encompassing light. The invasion craft were also slowly rotating in such a free way it was clear that anti gravity, ‘Einstein Gravity Wave’ utilizing technology had been mastered by the StarPeople Aliens. And then begun their first message.

“People Of Earth, Thankyou for your patience over the last 5 long days. We will now get straight to the point. We are here because your former leaders had enslaved you for decades, destroying your social, economic and your entire Planet’s ecological wellbeing. As you may already know, President Kincaid, his Military Alliances and the Puppet G7 had refused to agree to the two options of complete or co-governance with the Galactic Federation. Thus resulted in the triggering the Galactic Federation Treaty Of Care protocols. From that point onwards, we the StarPeople as representatives and local enforcer of the Galactic treaty Of Care, had but no choice to vaporize those traitors of the earth system on the spot. Thus you are now completely free of slavery, and a new Governance from the nearest Federation members from the Pleiades, the StarPeople, is underway. The StarPeople are your liberators. The StarPeople are your enablers. The StarPeople are your friends. You have nothing to fear, other than the fear of us itself. We are your Galactic elders and we are here to help. thankyou for your attention and patience. There will be further messages to come.”

Marcel could hear a deafeningly loud roaring sound, as if a million lions were growling at once mixed with an eruption coupled with a pre-virus era Superbowl crowd. It was the sound of 4.5 Billion humans screaming with ancient tribality….and Marcel Atkins could not detect an ounce of fear in the blanketed vocal rumblings.

There was only the sound of hope ringing around the atmosphere.

…………end of pt 6………pt 7 is coming very soon… in the near future…..

Marcel Atkins The 22nd Century’s Rogue Brain Chip Hacker Pt 5

Posted in dystopia, novella, sci fi, UncategorizedTagged , , Leave a comment

Welcome to The Baby wants It’s Bottle Poetry Inc. Podcast, a creative project by Martin Anton Smith a NZ based creative. In this episode, I read part five of my Dystopian Sci Fi Novella, “Marcel Atkins – The 22nd Centuries’ Brain Chip Hacker” Lets begin!

Marcel again awoke up exactly at 6:05am, to Ulysses, that hairy Moses-like State hologram come alarm clock, hovering above him, repeating the words “WAKEUP ZILO MARCEL WAKEUP AURORA NEEDS YOUR BRAIN AGAIN”. His voice sounded at first as a babbling brook but if ignored rose in decibel to a thousand cascading waterfalls. He got out of his levitating bed and looked at todays hologram beam off the studio walls. He was startled as the hologram of a giant scaly beak started snapping at him from above. He had forgotten he had programmed a simple “Riding the Pterosaur over the ancient forests” holographic simulation to wake him up and keep him company during breakfast. He thought better of it and commanded “End ‘Riding the Pterosaur’ and begin ‘Betelgeuse dual star flyby”. He now wanted a relaxing start to the day, not an adrenalized Jurassic one. Marcel had burnt himself out yesterday with all his day dreaming of the times of his late teens and early adulthood during the Starman Reconfiguration of 2051. The heady times where the StarPeople vaporized the G7 and military on the G7 podium and then over a period of 7 years ‘acclimatized’ everyone on Earth to the new system of heavy surveillance, exacting unemotional control. He requested some double shot Tropical Zone New Zealand coffee materialize. He tried to not allow the overwhelming feelings that were rising up in him, the last thing he’d want would be a stress sweat to begin.

He kept thinking of the enormity of this Rebellion idea of his. He kept asking himself “How can I save the World? I’m no hero, I’m just a fool who was blessed with a high IQ, and good analytical skills, I’m just an overgrown teenage video game playing loser’. But he was smart enough and experienced enough, now he was in his early 70’s realized that everyone who had ever risen up before 2051 and done something amazing had had the same negative thoughts and feelings and still chose to continue the ‘hero’s’ path. He knew courage was not about not feeling fearful, but feeling fearful and choosing to still climb the mountain.

He had swig of the auto generated coffee and he heard a voice in his head – ‘be thankful for your fear – you are one of the handful who can still feel it and therefore harness it for the revolution’. He had learnt to treasure those moments when some wise entity seemed to talk to him via his thoughts. This wise voice had come to him as he had got older and experienced and learnt. Of course it was not supernatural, it was simply the best of him distilled to maximum and wanting him to make good choices. It was the voice made possible by having a hacked BrainChip so that he could like the good old pre 2051 days, embrace emotion. This Voice was the voice of emotional intelligence -Wisdom. Marcel had tagged today as the day he put an operational plan in place to begin the second part revolution.

Marcel had always thought what he was planning now in 2103 as the ‘phase two’ of the revolution. The first phase was when he decided to hack the StarPeople/Aurora interfacing BrainChip surveillance technology in his brain, in the early 2050’s while as existing as a willing agent of Aurora and the StarPeople. The first stanza of the second phase had entailed learning like a revolutionary in waiting. Because of raw intelligence and inquisitiveness, he was an astute student of world history, and he knew being a successful revolutionary required astute knowledge of people and how they are organized by the tiny few already in power, who held all society’s drawstrings. While times had grown different in the 52 years since 2051, with an AI embracing tyrannical Alien species in charge, the principles of how the few can dominate the many were still in place. Marcels knowledge would be crucial to winning the Revolutionary War of 2103.

Using his great intellectual reserves Marcel had made a point of being an expert on how the Aurora system worked, How the Viceroys operated and how they got their instructions, how the StarPeople operated, how the Monetary and Economy system worked, how the cultural programming was set up. In short, he studied how the Alien machinery of domination of lower intelligence planetary species worked. After 50 plus years of keeping his eyes open, and his brain self-hacked, he viewed himself as ‘StarPeople/Aurora Earth Governance’ expert. He now knew his apprenticeship was over and now he would emerge as a butterfly does from the cocoon, and put his expertise to work in the now unfolding Revolutionary War. He had over the last 50 years crafted edited and re-written a strategy to win the war. He now had a final version of what would have to happen to win the war for mankind. It would be known in the future as the “The 7 Prime Directives of the Revolutionary War – or in its man on the street slogan version “7 for RE-WAR “. “REMEMBER SEVEN FOR REWAR”, was the go-to ‘battle cry’ when the dampened spirits of the Army Rebels were in need an immediate uplift. This naturally evolved to have 7 equal replies of ‘WE WILL’. Marcel’s ‘ 7 for ReWar’ were the following:

  1. The opportunity to be self determinating due to the fact I – Marcel Atkins – hacked the Aurora Interface Chip in my Brain – Therefore for others to be free their Chips must be hacked as well.
  2. This Hacking must happen in two stages – stage 1 hack the brain-chips of a small and embryonic elite fighting force, so as to allow them to be independently minded, from there regather and grow the revolutionary army further in 3 swift stages. If this is successful, we will have a Revolutionary Army with talent and numbers to beat Aurora and thus convince The StarPeople to retreat to their home start system.
  3. The Viceroys are the key in the early timeline of the Re War- their brain interface files must be overtaken, so as to provide ample time for the Revolution to clandestinely begin destroying enemy infrastructure.
  4. Given the reality of technological and IQ disadvantage, The Re-War must rely on the dual masterstrokes of ‘surpise attack’ and ‘speed’. the War should not last longer than 17 days, and ideally will be over within 11-14 days. Any longer than this and the likelihood of losing magnifies and compounds.
  5. After Victory We must ensure that counter attacks are not physically or artificially remotely possible. There can be no later regathering of the StarPeople’s awesome defenses.
  6. The Aurora physical policing Robots etc. must be overcome by remote deactivation command from a successfully hacked Aurora system. Brute force is not possible given the enemy’s physical resources.
  7. After the War is won, a new system of economy, ecology and culture must prevail so as not to create another future alien invasion.

Marcel now had a war plan he just had to fill in the details to achieve all the points, and win the ‘ReWar’. He begun on point 1 – how to hack brains with perfection, whose brains to hack first, how to do it simultaneously and without Aurora knowing for as long as possible. He would get to Viceroys first, create a division and then forcibly reprogram them to avatar like Revolutionaries. There was no time to convince them organically via persuasion as Viceroys were chosen for their extreme loyalty to ‘dark forces’ – there was no way to reverse this, so they will be neutralized. This neutralization of the Viceroys and insertion of an artificial Rebel cyborg system into their empty shells would make the Revolutionary grow from one to 5, and then allow the Revolutionary army to gain closer system access to Aurora AI system.

Marcel had to act quick, the Viceroys would be meeting for their daily meeting with Aurora in 7 hrs time, he would have to duplicate his personality over onto the Viceroys Chips, add a personality variation factor so as to ensure maximum performance of this embryonic team. If Marcel does this correctly, he will have created a family of unstoppable brothers to advance the revolutionary way to the next stage.

Marcel knew there was only one chance to hack the Viceroy chips. Every Aurora Brain Chip interface had a daily micro reboot. He’d have to hack during one of the numerous daily a micro reboot that occur. This would mean he would have to hack the Aurora brain implant, upload the ‘Ghost in the Machine” i.e his personality variant he artificially created. He’d do the work in the 7 seconds reboot sequence, and when the Aurora link re authenticates the change would be completely masked. From that point he essentially had a double agent of the Revolution at his command.

Now he had to do the now not-so-boring technical legwork. He gave the command to open the holographic work portal, where he could clandestinely study for a weak part of the Viceroy Aurora reboot interface code. As Marcel had worked for Aurora as a tech who tested the BrainChip updates on live ‘test volunteers’ i.e Guineapigs, his opening and coding of files related to this would not draw suspicion. But a problem was happening. Planning a Revolution was a stressful event, given Marcel had hacked implant to allow this. This would normally be ok, as his coding would mask this file transfer – but only if the stress was minimal to moderate. This essentially meant he could not allow himself to stress out so much that he drew a physical sweat as Aurora would receive an ‘Emotion Error File (EEF)’ and then be aware his BrainChip is malfunctioning. From there the Robotic Army would be sent to deactivate Marcels faulty BrainChip and replace it. If that happened, they’d discover a tampered BrainChip and the Revolution would be over before it had ever truly begun.

For a microsecond Marcel almost blew it – he felt a sharp feeling of unease, and a sweat response begin, the itchy ‘pre sweat’ feeling. He had a trick to squash this feeling. After much trial and error he had found sweat causing stress reversed by a happy childhood memory. He simply thought of 2049, when is was 13 years old, and he had hit “6 Home Runs in 6 consecutive baseball innings, and the kids raised him on their shoulders. He did this and the sweat bead was stopped from existing in the first place. he was immediately relieved, and went to work. – he opened the VICEROY AI/Coding schematics in the holographic portal – The coding schematics of the VICEROY BRAINCHIP UPDATES were called V*A*L*K*Y*R*I*E for short – He and his ZILO config technical colleagues had called it this after binging on WW2 holographic documentary’s back 50 years ago in the early days of reconfiguration. the irony of this name wasn’t lost on Marcel, he just hoped to not repeat 20th Century History and be seen as was Count Staufenberg in 1940 – the “hero who didn’t quite kill the evil overlord”. Marcel’s Job was much harder that Staufenberg’s was in 1940 – Marcel wasn’t stopping a Hitler in his tracks – he would be tasked with stopping an entire advanced Alien civilisation. Marcel had always backed himself, but this mission was clearly facing ridiculously bad odds of success. But Marcel knew that regardless of success or failure it was always better to die trying when fighting evil than to live under evil’s yoke.

Will Science one day show us the realms Of God , The Universe And Everything? Will We Recognise the Clues? ( Podcast Transcript/Essay)

Posted in devil, God, scienceTagged , , Leave a comment

Welcome to the Baby Wants it’s Bottle Poetry Inc Podcast, a creative project by Martin Anton Smith, a New Zealand based Creative. In this Episode a special non poetry instalment – an Essay which discusses God and Science, and wether Science can uncover the clues that will lead us to the ultimate questions. Without further ado let’s begin! The title of this essay is called “Will Science One Day Show Us The Realms Of God, The Universe and Everything? Will We Recognise The Clues ?

Disclaimer: I regard myself as a Christian, but a rational one. There’s no easy way to know anything more than what your mind and gut tell, and the path to enlightenment is a long and winding road. I am no biblical or religious expert, but ancient texts like the bible has taught humanity much wisdom. I cannot scientifically say Jesus was the son of God, but I now believe that this was probably the case. All around us we see creativity, and Russian doll like levels of complexity – this question of “Is God Real”? Has another “cousin “ question – “Why wouldn’t there be a God?”. 

There a theory that Satan Rules earth, babies are born with a satanic soul, and the battle on earth is one where the Devil fights to retain his brotherhood of humans on earth, while God try’s to steal those souls over to the path of Love and well being. Modern type thought likes to say the reverse. natural satanic type “selfish” human nature seem the norm. “Evil from birth”, seems to ring true on an anacdotal level , and the fact is clear to me that you actually have to work hard to be loving decent and empathetic, while it’s easy to be a jerk or worse. So, I’d more agree with the former “bad at birth” theory. Of course, I also think it’s highly some families are good at being naturally loving, and pass this structure on via paternal/maternal teaching of the children, and as such there will be pockets of “Gods children” arrived at not long after birth, (or even at birth). . However given the state of well being in this world, you’d have to say Satan is winning the battle, have you ever seen a time of greater deception?. I’ve looked into a fair whack of Good/Evil God/Satan stuff lately, and while I’m definitely no scholar on the subject, if I’m a betting man I’d say this is likely to be more fact that a fallacy , as I already mentioned in the disclaimer. 

This is not to say, I believe in “religion as good”, as organised religion is certainly (can be) a power of evil- though of course loving people are often engaged in “bad religion” (Note: Bad Religion is also a 80s punk band!). On a metaphysical level, it’s pretty clear that science knows nothing of consciousness, other than that the non conscious autonomic system, does a huge amount of the highly intelligent managing of our most ultra high tech body processes (like making a human in the womb)- stuff that is many orders of magnitude higher intelligence Than our conscious efforts we can talk about. Therefore we know as a fact their are non conscious powers that manage our own bodies without our conscious input. Therefore, logically it would not be unprecedented if there were “god like” even higher level powers that control this unconscious state as well. If these powers have some opposing goals, then I think it fair that the concept God and the Devil is not totally unscientific in concept. I see this “higher level” as like a invisible blanket that covers a human being and partially or wholly shapes it’s movements , thoughts and intentions. You might also compare it to the Einsteinian Gravity  Logic – large masses/energy warp the fabric of space, and other smaller entities then become ensnared it this warpage, just as the Sun is hurtling through space, and we trail along the space time vortex trailing behind it, as does the moon in earth’s vortex. As does a man on the surface of the earth or moon.  Before Einstein, there was no theory to adaqutely explain gravity (Newton’s was essentially mathematically based, not explanatory, like Einstein’s). So for 2500 years of science (from the ancient Greeks like Aristotle) no one knew of a thing called “the fabric of space” and “a vortex in the fabric of space”, then a genius like Einstein comes along Works hard and discovers much in quick time, and from then on, we accept this as scientific fact. So the Christian idea of two opposing moral universes acting as a hidden fabric  of human intention and behaviour is almost Einsteinian Flavour, in many respects. And the idea of a “fabric of the universe” would be unpopular if it wasn’t able to be verified via experiment (1919 Arthur eddington observation), around the same time the theory was advanced (1916). Having to wait for forever for experimental confirmation/refutation is not good vs brilliance confirmed in quick time. Perhaps this is why in the western world we have lost touch with our Jude’s Christian Roots.

Let’s talk “Crazy”. What seems crazy in yesterday’s sci fi movies, has a habit of being true, the question of how to know what is “crazy” and what is “fact” Often comes down to wether our technology has evolved far enough to observe the phenomena.  On hidden psychic realms, many an ancient Shamen has claimed to observe hidden realms, but wether they did or not has never been no recorded physically, so the truth or otherwise was never fully verified for “recorded history/science”. Of course it’s quite possible the ancient shaman were correct, and groups of Shamen would see and agree on hidden psychic realms – but this would be a exclusive club, a walled garden. With our tech being now so good, have we begun to reach the point where science will ultimately settle the question of God, The Devil, Good & Evil? I think it will, and 21st Century science wonders have got us at least half way already. I guess There’s a reason they called the “Higgs Boson” the “God Particle”. But Science overall, is still shy on mentioning God of course. But Physicists, it is worth mentioning are more courageous, quirky, and willing to stand out from the crowd, compared to other scientists, so perhaps they will rise to the occasion.

Of course , I wouldn’t be being fair and evenhanded if I stopped just there, and considered the opposing argument: That science will never be able to shine a light on the biggest question ever – does God, The Devil and a whole higher spiritual plain exist. The counter argument is that science is fundamentally limited to be able to answer “spiritual questions”. The contention is that science is very good at explaining for how things work, but never why things work. The scientist can reverse engineer a theory of the universe from how the world physically looks, via inductive science (you could call it exploratory vs the deductive model, which aims to further shed light on subjects already somewhat well known – dotting the i’s – such as study of the sun system). However, it is worth mentioning this can be done conceptually , and not necessary via experiment- we know for example Einstein’s greatest experiments were all created inside his cranium via his “thought experiments”, namely that of the moving “light clock”(Special Relativity) and a man free-falling in a lift, that’s came off it’s tether (General Relativity) . The realists say of science that yes, science has done wonders at describing the universe mathematically. But they add to that, that a Scientist can never (as Steven Hawking famously put) answer the fundamental question of why the universe goes to all the trouble of existing in the first place – “who breathed fire into the equations, bringing them to life”. There is a fundamental logic to this argument that is unshakable. 

Thus I agree with them wholeheartedly, but in saying that I believe science can furnish fantastic clues that are the “crumbs that lead us to the doorway of our cottage, while we are lost in the wild forest” . For example, the period of physics from 1900-1930 in the new amazing field of “quantum mechanics” , found that elements formally only matters of the “occult” were actually physically possible and happen all the time on a subatomic level – things pop in and out of existence from nowhere, and the universe is essentially made out of tiny grains of reality called “Planks Constant” (named after Max Plank) , and there is an inbuilt cloaking factor called “The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle” (named after Werner Heisenberg) . So science has changed they way we think about the supernatural – to me that’s pretty clear in the field of quantum mechanics. Quantum Mechanics: Uncovering the Supernatural Surrounding Us , you can purchase this book title here! (That’s a Joke of Course, there is no Book, Yet!)

So given that Quantum Theory has shown us the “Supernatural” for 80 plus years, the Question to the problem becomes this : if we agree that Science can point us roughly in the right general direction to ask the right questions about God and the Spiritual Realm, who will answer the ultimate exact questions? These will entail answers to the following interrelated questions (Note an “Einsteinian God” is a “ non biblical “ ultimate creator and designer of the universe, thus its nature is infinitely less well known vs the scripture version. Scientists who believe in God, and they are rare, believe in Einstein’s one. )  :  

  1. What force created the universe in the first place and why ?
  2. What’s the nature of GOD (if he exists) ?
  3. What’s the nature of Satan (if he exists) ?
  4. Is there something that is not a mix of a God/Satans realm, what is the explanation for the phenomena exposed by quantum mechanics and the entire universe? 
  5. If God/Satan is not the answer, Could “the universe is a Simulation” be the answer? (But is this simply a reformation of the GOD question?) 
  6. Is God the Einsteinian (non biblical) version of God , or the is God Of the Biblical version? 
  7. What place do Human beings have in the higher cosmological sceme that is unveiled? 
  8. Is there a non earth bound reward and punishment scheme in play – is it the Biblical type (heaven & hell and it’s variants) or is it Einsteinian? 
  9. What is a soul, is there a soul.? 
  10. What is time and can intelligence/souls exist eternally outside Earth boundaries and limitations? 
  11. How will the Universe ultimately End. 

I think the history of science (Aristotle , Ptolomy, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Dirac, Heisenberg Plank to name a few of the big names) and scientific revolutions , has allowed human beings to experience in awe the unfolding of new horizons, horizons that exploded old myths, but also reinforce others (e.g “Spooky action at a distance” or quantum entanglement for example Could in many ways be viewed as a confirmation of the occult heritage of dark forces acting supernaturally).  As Thomas Kuhn wrote in the seminal “the structure of scientific revolutions “ So we must say that science is just as much revolutionary , as it is piecemeal. Not that many moons ago, being a scientist was a dangerous occupation – much worse that having an Apple fall on your head. Many Middle ages scientists were killed by the church – the discipline science is powerful, it is itself a creative endeavour, it has the power to bring order from a chaos disparate set of competing ideas.  This is why the Middle Ages church killed scientists – it was a threat to them,.

Let me now consider points of the bible, namely is revelatory stories of how God is shown to people. According to the bible there is more of this to come, given the return of Christ has not happened yet. When it does – I’m a Christian don’t forget- Thus we can expect the final unveiling of the God Question to be a dramatic event, that will spurn a revolution in scientific thought, and ultimately on the “man or woman in the street” – if the answer is that God is the Biblical version , then unveiling of the events as outlined in the book of Revelations, most the answers will hit people of earth over the period of a few days – and the universes knowledge will not be filtered slowly via scientists slowly over decades, as has been the nature history of science. Of course in the west these days, no one thinks this will happen.

 According to Revelations there will be “growing pains” from the Earth, that are similar to a woman’s eventful and painful contractions before birth – in the form of mass earthquakes, swarms of locusts, floods etc, and the space between events will shorten as God’s final judgement begins – whereby a few elect souls are chosen to go to everlasting blissful existence in heaven, and the remaining are cast into a satanic realm, the lake of fire, where pain is eternal and death can never come to save the damned souls. According to Revelations one day the “sky will part, like the way a scroll rolls together” (I paraphrase). If this happens everyone (at least in the mostly secular west  ) will know that their current knowledge of the universe is Bunk. Their beliefs will be seen in the cold light of day , they will be like that in terms of complexity , to of that of a mosquito to a lion.  If this (Biblical Prophecy) , does not happen, then we must admit that if the upcoming revolutions in science unfurl The same way they have, we will not ever be able to answer the ultimate questions of God and Humanity – yes they will shed a spotlight on the nature of things, but Science has a funny property whereby the more we know, what we don’t know emerges in higher powers of magnitude.

 So, in a strange but very way, it is possible that Science is ultimately throwing up exponentially more questions than answers. This leaves us with the fact that we are relatively smarter than before (e.g. 2021 vs 1845) yet in absolute terms we are now so more aware of what we don’t know and so we may indeed be more “stupider” than we ever thought possible in 1845! This is the paradox of scientific knowledge.

 In 2021 with so many calamities coming forward, the pandemic, rising oceans , and erratic weather to name a few, it does kind of feel like we are living in the early stages of the “Book of RevelationS”. And I can’t help but feel, that ultimately , There is some truth to these ancient myths of yesteryear, and our modern western view of “total faith in science “, as “explainer Of everything”, is a deeply flawed instance of, dare I say it, dogmatism – For scientists at heart, must know they will always throw up more questions than they answer . . Simply put, the Domain of the unknown , is ever more expanding,, than the known. And I haven’t even mentioned the laws of unintended design, those products of technology that do bad things e.g pollution, deforestation, alienation . 

Perhaps the “Gut Feeling” phenomena, no doubt the result of our ancient intrinsic and unconscious higher plane existence unconscious programming, is the “ tip of the iceberg “, that is the key to understanding the true deep questions of humanity, like the nature and existence of God. Will the coming months and years see this tip of the iceberg emerge further and further from the waterline of our ignorance , and lead us to recognise what unfolds before our eyes? Or will it go the other way, on seeing dramatic new phenomena, will humanity continue to experience cognitive dissonance ? Will Humanity want to double down on a too dogmatic and ideological trust in scientific, technocratic and technological thought ? Will Science become scared with what is uncovers and choose to fail to unveil the ultimate answers (I.e. the 11 Points I mentioned earlier) to the most core questions – of God (and Satan) the Universe and everything ? If this happens , surely we would be re-entering a new dark ages, like those that killed the early scientists. It seems at the very least, that in the 21st Century and the 2020’s in particular, many of Histories balls are being thrown up in the air, how they will fall is as least as unknown as the 1920s, and we are probably living much much more dangerous and spectacular times than then. So amazing scenes are due, and the tumult will last longer , and will expand– and some form of new human understanding/way of life will emerge – that we can be sure of.

“The Physicist and the Student” (A Skit/Play)

Posted in Comedy, Physics, PoemsTagged , , Leave a comment

“The Physicist and the Student” a skit comedy, created in 2020 by Martin Anton Smith, a New Zealand based Creative

Background, a student is rushing through a university town, as he running late for an appointment for a job interview, he stops asks the time of citizen on the street, who unbeknown to the young man, just happens to be a Physicist, who is on the way to his lab.

Student: What time is it?
Physicist: That depends
Student: On what?
Physicist: Well, your relative motion for one
Student,: You fool, were standing next to each other
Physicist: yes but you were running toward me before, while I was walking – I must know your average speed up until now, relative to the ground, I will do the same for myself, and then I can the two times
Student: What? Two times? What do you mean man? Oh I’m gonna be so late….
Physicist: As Einstein said – times relative, so there’s a time for you and a time for me – so what’s your average speed, relative to the ground?
Student: Look man! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I left my home in St Kilda 3 minutes ago, and that’s about 1 Mile away, now please tell me the time!
Physicist: ok ok don’t spin the telescope! Will you please use the metric system, us scientist all use the metric system …we need meters per second, not miles per minute – just as well I’m great at maths, I will do the necessary conversions
Student: Thank god! Now please hurry – I’m still late you know!
Physicist: God? Oh my dear boy there is no God- it’s all a cosmic quantum generated random event…anyway…ok ok I know your average speed now
Student: Finally! So what time is it?
Physicist: Oh wait, I forgot there’s something else…
Student: What is it now? Oh man I’m not gonna get this job I can feel it…
Physicist: Well Einstein also said Time is also relative to a gravitational field…..you don’t live in a high-rise apartment or in an underground bunker, do you? Because I live in a detached house, my gravity is pretty much middle-class gravity.
Student: I live on the 5th Floor of my building ok, now hurry please!
Physicist: (he takes out his notepad and mumbles to himself, as he makes his calculations) ok ok , so in terms of velocity, I calculate that your time is 3 Pico Pico Pico seconds slower than mine, and my time is 5 past two – so your time is 3 Pico Pico pi seconds less than that
Student: (speaking sarcastic tones,) Oh that’s a relief, I was worried about that, I really was if you were only two Pico seconds different, I’d be really really worried!
Physicist: Hey don’t get ahead of yourself, I haven’t given you the gravitational component yet!
Student: (speaking in resignation, )oh man ! please just give it to me!
Physicist: Ok Ok ok , Einstein said that clocks in a higher gravitational field move slower that those in lower fields – so you live A high rise so you gravitational field is lower than mine, so you clock moves faster than mine by 3pico Pico, Pico seconds….so amazingly that cancels out to mean between gravity and speed, our clocks completely agree
Student: It’s a miracle! I feel blessed!
Physicist: No Miricle silly, just good science my boy.
Student: ok ok ok, that’s good, so what time is it?
Physicist: oh it’s two thirty.
Student: Oh great! I’ve still got time!
Physicist: Don’t be so sure
Student: What? But you’ve just confirmed the exact time to me scientifically!
Physicist: well yes, but I always set my watch forward 15 minutes backwards, so it’s really actually two forty-five, in my frame of reference, of course. I do this because I prefer to be late for appointments you see, don’t ask why – it’s just a ‘physicist thing’.
Student: oh that means I’m late, I knew it!
Physicist: Oh your late, that’s great! It will show your not over eager, and if it’s a physicist your meeting you’ll be right on time! Who are you meeting?
Student: (scratches his chin in thoughtfulness) Oh that’s True…, it’s an interview for a lab assistant at Blackbody University, the guys name is ….(he looks down at his notes he is holding in His hand), Dr Cyril P Lightyear
Physicist: Why that’s me! I had forgotten about that job applicant, thank god you stopped me!
Student: wait a minute….I thought you said God didn’t exist?
Physicist: Just a figure of speech my boy! I can tell your up for the job, I’ll hire you on the spot, by Jupiter! now when can you start?
Student: That depends on Einstein’s special and general theory of relativity, sir – shouldn’t you of all people know that!

Physicist,: Yes my boy, you’ll do well in this job, your as quick witted as Richard Feynman, who by the way brazenly stole my secretary in 86! 

Student: I hope he didn’t steal your theories too? 

Physicist: Well yes he did, my silly secretary told him my theory of Quantum Electrodynamics, I asked her why she did that and she said something about big eyes and smooth pillow talk!

Student: Don’t worry doc , Fame, Money, Science Groupies, and respect of your peers are probably greatly overrated anyway – and you will always know what you created.

Physicist: True, I’d rather be a small virtuous, scruffy little known physicist on the  outer rim of the Milky Way, than some grandstanding pompadour with his head some stolen clouds any day!

Student: I believe in you sir !

Physicist: now all this science talk is making me hungry, would you care to join me for a meal at the faculty cafeteria? We can talk about your first day on the job as my forever faithful assistant.

Student: Sure, what’s the name of this joint?

Physicist: it’s called, “I’m starving in a donut shaped universe, so let’s all eat” 

Student: You Physicists have a great sense of humour, sir.

Physicist: Quite true, we are generally funny, messy and smart. Just ask my friend Alan Guth!

Student: oh yeah, that’s right, Alan Guth was the Physicist who won the “messiest ever office” award didn’t he?

Physicist: Yes, though it was very close between him and Einstein, it all came down to a single mouse dropping, would you believe?

Student: I don’t doubt it, but I hope that you are not that messy sir!

Physicist: Don’t worry the mice are mostly eaten by the 7 stray cats – I call them “Schrodinger’s, Mouse, Service”, they do a stand-up job, even though they are all, quantum mechanically speaking, half dead, half alive and living in a box. 

Student: and on that beautiful life moment sir Cyril P Lightyear, let’s eat. 

Physicist: Sure, let’s do it, but wait I never got your name…?

Student: oh my parents were also Physicists, so I was named after the “second law of thermodynamics”, and my given names are “Maximilian Disorder” 

Physicist: Well, I feel your pain, being called “Cyril P Lightyear” wasn’t much fun in school either! But at least no one found out my middle name! 

Student: what is it sir? Is it Photon? Is it Pauli? Is it Plasma?

Physicist: Plank, it was Plank – how terrible that would be , Cyril Plank Lightyear! What a name! 

Student: Speaking of weird physicist names, don’t you think it was weird you had your secretary stolen and seduced, by Richard Feynman, – as in Dick, Fine, Man? I mean the irony! 

Physicist: Yes, I am well aware of the irony, I think this is proof we are living in a simulation, you know we Physicists take that conjecture very seriously these days, in fact most of us believe it’s true. For If there is life out there, they are more likely to be intelligent, and so would create virtual universes in simulations and these would far outweigh the organic real home-grown Big Bang type universes. 

Student: (he says speaking worriedly) WOW my heads spinning! We can’t be a simulation! What about Plato? What about cognitions ergo sum, you know, “I think therefore I am”. 

Physicist: Oh no dear boy, your living in the past we modern Physicists have updated that dictum of Plato’s – well-meaning though it was. 

Student: Go on, continue, do tell, enlighten me, 

Physicist: we now say this 

student: Yes! yes! yes!

Physicist: “I think I think, but those odds are wildly improbable , Therefore, I am, a simulation 

Student: Plato’s motto was way more catchy 

Physicist,: Touché Touché – now  let’s go get a “ Plate , O , Donuts”  at the faculty cafe – my simulated brain is sugar low…and soon I will be called “Cyril Plank  Pass out” 

Student: (says somewhat sarcastically) Ok Ok ok ok ok sir, I agree with you – we must eat a big plate of donuts I.e. we must selfishly and maximally increase the entire universes entropy, send it hurtling towards a state Maximum Disorder, and so quicken the heat death of the universe, all so to to stop the rumbling tummies of a couple of space cadets like us, that aren’t even real in the first place! – GOTCHA sir, makes perfect sense!   

Physicist: My God, You’re brilliant! These Simulated Universe Destroying Falsely Delicious Donuts are on me! 

Student: , GULP!!
