Our guide in 2000 years

You, that for 2000 years has guided the man who has believed in you, that you pint him the direction but that the man used it as reference to choice its own way.


You, that for 2000 years has been the guide for many of us that once we have felt disoriented, not knowing which is the way, not the right, but the best, you aim unquestionably to a point, but each of us decide if following it or not.


You, that fot 2000 years have been mentioned in the mouths of many, your stories travel beyond montain, the valley, the hill, the desert, the sea, unexplored lands, you still meaning the same although now your instruction also been electronically.


You, that for 2000 years have been understood by so few but repeated in your prowess for many, people do not understand you, but they accept unquestionably as a guide, the human being of city, that one who lives in his own jail of his ideas has forgotten of you, the free person, who search new horizons, to know the unknow, habit the inhabited have you ever in his thinking.


You, yes, you, have changed the direction in many times, aiming the contrary side, and may soon you do it again.


That are you, the compass, you have started your days 2000 year ago like a spoon rubbed against a magnetic rock and now you are just a needle inside water in a capsule, even you are just a informatic program, you are in mercy of earth's magnetic field, the same who deviates the cosmic rays that coming from the deep space to the north pole and you gift us beautiful northern lights.


But if you would had existed 30,000 years ago, you will aim to south, because the magnetic poles changed in many ocations along in earth existence (in fact, its second existence).

In each of this magnetic variations, earth is left without its protector shield, letting many cosmic rays, resulting as mutations and alterations in life beings in earth.


So the human beign emerged? So begun the race of homo sapiens, who appeared be a animal like a shrew and the creationists insist in saying the foolishness e incoherence that the science said that man descends from the monkey?


In some thousands years, the magnetics poles newly will invert, newly the life will mutate, will die completes species, other will change, other will born.


I do not predict the end of the world, a cataclism, a desgracie neither, but an opportunity, a change, new life in the old world, When the time comes, we will disappear? we will mutate? we will stay as before?


I should say "the time will say it", but the time no exist.

I want an opal

Versión en español: http://elgatofausto.blogspot.mx/2012/03/quiero-un-opalo.html

Beatiful and uncanny stone, appear a extreme hardness but in reality is fragile. Changes its glint depending of intensity and light angle as well as temperature. Is almost impossible to cut and give it shape because it breaks in surface leaving terrible wounds impossible to heal.

Has existed in our history from since greeks on century VI BE (before our era) believed who carry it, would clairvoyant. For romans to have a opal meant power, even roman senator Nonio, preferred exile to give to Marco Antonio a ring embedded with opal.

In midles age, was considered protective against eye and heart diseases, and cholera.

Was until XI century that, Roberto the Devil said opal that he had giving to him malignant powers, so the opal reputation fell from grace, and almost form the stone malignancy, ocurred in XIV century that victims of the Black Death had an opal, this increases its glint when the carrier contracted the deseases and this overshadowed when the carrier died. Nobody cared that opal is susceptible to corporeal temperature changes. Opal fell from grace.

In the XIX century, all ring carrying in spanish royal family perished, without exception, no matter that cholera struck that region killing more than 100 000 persons between summer and autumn in 1885.

Now that the human is no longer superstitious as it was in the Dark and little less in Renaissance, the stone no longer have human curses.

For that and other things... i want an opal

Vasco Nuñez de Balboa was the first man who saw from a Panama summit the two oceans. The Mayflower pilgrim came to populate to now called America and in begining was thought Indian. Cube was a Asian part and in coast had sirens with face of men and rooster pens, and not far away were people with tails. Sir Walter Raleigh on Guayana saw to people with eyes in shoulders and mouth in chests.

On Venezuela, Fray Pedro Simón saw people with ears which are dragged in soil. In the Amazonas river, Cristobal de Acuña saw people with twisted feet.

All this, for many years were irrefutable truths, who dared to opposite, or doubt it, were reprimanded, harassed, whipped, threatened, tortured, flogged or executed. But now, that information is no longer transmited to new generations. But still in primary school it reads in scholar text that Cortes cried in Sad Night (A spanish wrote that?).

No many years ago we "celebrated" the day of race, The "meeting" of 2 civilizations, Which means one of it was sacked, uprooted outraged.

The danger of that is because we does not understand that we read. Thanks to current educative model, we need to memorize segments of books, no matter if we understand or if we agree. More of one of us, have a low degree for saying "Sorry teacher, but the true story is...".

So how we can fix these mistakes? Is so hard as to say to mexicans that our ritual "Day of dead" is not our tradition, but the spanish.

We have not time to make a change, people cling more and more to few things that they know, because they feel safe with it. Every change in knowledge is hard, if that knowledge is religious so is more difficult.

The unique solution can be protect to new generations from past mistakes and show them the recent modifications. Hoy many children know that underworld king, Pluto, some years ago, was lowered almost to faithful servant level, which in the river which separates two worlds, Caronte?

Non Scholæ sed Vitæ discimus: We learn for life, not for school.

Dinosaurs and weight

Versión en español: http://elgatofausto.blogspot.mx/2012/03/los-dinosaurios-y-el-peso.html

The beauty of time, is that we can review the things and in case, rectify it, however the popular culture is responsible of to encase the aceppted precepts from the beginning, making continue in the minds of all us, the wrongs precepts, even after years of be know that is wrong.

The spinachs are not so nutritive, was erred in decimal point, giving it 10 times more nutritunional value. In schools is still seen the Börh's atomic model, which only it work for hydrogen atom, but after years has variations in Sommerfield and Schrödinger's atomic models, even the matter conservation law of Lavoisier was refuted by mass and Einstein's energy equilvalence.

Now is the dinosaurs turn, the magazine "Jornual of Zoology" of the london  Zoology Society, indicates that scientifics has rectified about the dinosaurs weight, and they have reported that dinosaurs were not too big as previously thought and now have been stereotyped in many movies, now have been discovered mistakes in ecuations used for calculate its weight since 25 years, making it decrease even half on its tonnage.

The animal leg diameter is directly proportional to its corporeal weight, is therefore as bigger was a dinosaur, its feet would had bigger volumen insomuch that it was imposible to walk for many dinosaurs. The model exact volume is got by water amount that is displaced of measurer cylinder, and the volume becomes to weight throught a factor that represent the proportion volume/weight of the crocodile meat. After make a scale with de size when the dinosaur were alive.

The ecuations becomes more difficult when is about a animal in movement, and acquires difficulty directly propotional to the speed of itself. These ecuations has been partly corrected, but still are inaccurate, with time exist the posibility to have a significant improvement.

The problem is if these corrections has got take in account in books, magazines and above all, movies, since in cited examples in beginning of this articule, still continue extending in our culture and giving us a wrong information about our world. Which we will transmit to next generations.

What is the damned particle?

The truth and its reality

Versión en español: http://elgatofausto.blogspot.mx/2012/03/la-verdad-y-su-realidad.html

Just as during almost 25 years was exhibited in the egyptian hall of New York Metropolitan Museum, a bronze cat that supposedly had 2300 years old, and they realized it was a fake, so we can live 25 years, or a lifetime, defending what that someday be recognized a lie.

Some want have enough life to know the truth, to learn more, for tasting that strange taste that we have when we know that our perception is wrong.

Some will blame their parents, professors, friends or society, for "forcing" themselves to believe or to think in that mistake. But, does not everyone have the freedom to choice in what to believe? Yes, but we chose for the comfort of believing in what others believe.

Even though Emiliano Zapata was killed and his body was showed, there are people who insist and persist in keep believing that he was still alive. Actually we are not so diferents, so we can still seen in religion, policy, sports and our daily lives.

As say somewhere:

The absolute truth do not exist, and that is absolute truth.
