For centuries, philosophers and physicists have been pondering the existence of time. Yet, in the classical world, our experience seems to extinguish any doubt that time exists and goes on. Indeed, in nature, processes tend to evolve spontaneously from states with less disorder to states with more disorder, and this propensity can be used to identify an arrow of time. In physics, this is described in terms of 'entropy', which is the physical quantity defining the amount of disorder in a system.

Dr. Giulia Rubino from the University of Bristol's Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (QET labs) and lead-author of the publication, said:

"If a phenomenon produces a large amount of entropy, observing its time-reversal is so improbable as to become essentially impossible. However, when the entropy produced is small enough, there is a non-negligible probability of seeing the time-reversal of a phenomenon occur naturally.

"We can take the sequence of things we do in our morning routine as an example. If we were shown our toothpaste moving from the toothbrush back into its tube, we would be in no doubt it was a rewinded recording of our day. However, if we squeezed the tube gently so only a small part of the toothpaste came out, it would not be so unlikely to observe it re-entering the tube, sucked in by the tube's decompression."

The authors of the study, under the lead of Professor Caslav Brukner of the University of Vienna and the IQOQI-Vienna, applied this idea to the quantum realm, one of whose peculiarities is the principle of quantum superposition, according to which if two states of a quantum system are both possible, then that system can also be in both states at the same time.

"Extending this principle to time's arrows, it results that quantum systems evolving in one or the other temporal direction (the toothpaste coming out of or going back into the tube), can also find themselves evolving simultaneously along both temporal directions.

"Although this idea seems rather nonsensical when applied to our day-to-day experience, at its most fundamental level, the laws of the universe are based on quantum-mechanical principles. This begs the question of why we never encounter these superpositions of time flows in nature," said Dr. Rubino.

Dr. Gonzalo Manzano, co-author from the University of the Balearic Islands, said: "In our work, we quantified the entropy produced by a system evolving in quantum superposition of processes with opposite time arrows. We found this most often results in projecting the system onto a well-defined time's direction, corresponding to the most likely process of the two. And yet, when small amounts of entropy are involved (for instance, when there is so little toothpaste spilled that one could see it being reabsorbed into the tube), then one can physically observe the consequences of the system having evolved along the forward and backward temporal directions at the same time."

Aside from the fundamental feature that time itself might not be well-defined, the work also has practical implications in quantum thermodynamics. Placing a quantum system in a superposition of alternative time's arrows could offer advantages in the performance of thermal machines and refrigerators.

Dr. Rubino said: "Although time is often treated as a continuously increasing parameter, our study shows the laws governing its flow in quantum mechanical contexts are much more complex. This may suggest that we need to rethink the way we represent this quantity in all those contexts where quantum laws play a crucial role."

With its large crater lake of turquoise water, plumes of smoke and sulphurous bubbling of mud and gases, the Krafla volcano is one of Iceland's most awe-inspiring natural wonders.

Here, in the country's northeast, a team of international researchers is preparing to drill two kilometres (1.2 miles) into the heart of the volcano, a Jules Verne-like project aimed at creating the world's first underground magma observatory.

Launched in 2014 and with the first drilling due to start in 2024, the $100-million project involves scientists and engineers from 38 research institutes and companies in 11 countries, including the US, Britain and France.

The "Krafla Magma Testbed" (KMT) team hopes to drill into the volcano's magma chamber. Unlike the lava spewed above ground, the molten rock beneath the surface remains a mystery.

The KMT is the first magma observatory in the world, Paolo Papale, volcanologist at the Italian national institute for geophysics and volcanology INGV, tells AFP.

"We have never observed underground magma, apart from fortuitous encounters while drilling" in volcanoes in Hawaii and Kenya, and at Krafla in 2009, he says.

Scientists hope the project will lead to advances in basic science and so-called "super hot rock" geothermal power.

Gemini Junction

Well I've got to move on now to Gemini Junction

And that clock full of good times awaiting me there.

Lord, I hope that I find it this side of the Jordan

and if I don't – well it won't be like I didn't care.

There'll be mountains to pass full of many a hazard,

where riders lose heart and horses go lame,

there'll be rivers to cross and a terrible desert,

but I know where to go. It's the way that I came.

There's a man in the moon over Gemini Junction

and the Mexicans call him primero ladrone

what that means, I believe, is the theif who's forgiven:

I should think that he'll wink when he sees I've come home.

I've dreamed of that man with the stars all around him;

I've dreamed of a dawn that would quicken the dead,

but I've dreamed far too long – It's time that I found them,

Or went bust. So there's just one more thing to be said:

I'd admire to see you in Gemini Junction

and I'll send you a letter if I ever get there;

It'll say "What a day for my love to come calling!

My best to the rest. I'm enclosing your fare."

Gottlieb!

the uplifting, spiritually oriented musical is (still) seeking new investors. A mystery, normally greedy Broadway investors would be filling our garbage bags with fiat. Too controversial? The musical theater thrives on it! Look at CATS!

The Book (or libretto)

This musical tells the story of how Dr, Sidney Gottlieb of CIA technical services ran a tippy top secret, multi-hundred million dollar, highly compartmentalized, covert, distributed research program on the scale of the Manhattan project (with equivalent priority) and survived the charade of the Church committee to get away as clean as Doc Benway.

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/hearings/95mkultra.pdf

Sid Gottlieb’s MK Ultra program and 100s of sub programs focused on human neurological control systems. More than 200 universities engaged in this research. No single institution, hospital, university or commercial lab saw more than a tiny part of the puzzle.

Doc Sid was looking for a hack, a backdoor into the human operating system. Gottlieb wanted to know was there a lower level language, a bios, or an assembly code for the mind; how far could humans be programmed, rendered compliant and loyal by manipulation of Information Inputs and what were the constraints on control?

Sid G wanted control over what we as human individuals and We the People thought, felt, understood and willed – or were capable of doing. Ugly and evil thoughts pulsed in the Gottlieb head, and his effort to create a zombie or golem required C_A to take ruthless and illegal actions which "we were fighting the damn commies back then" cannot and do not excuse.

Doc Sid Gottlieb ran the multitude of university, hospital and prison MK U research programs which made up the MK Ultra group of programs which produced the pedophile gangster Whitey Bulger, the occultist musician Charles Manson and many other assassins; introducing them (and thousands more experimental ‘subjects’) to the use of LSD.

Gottlieb and C_A collaborated military intelligence and the LSD amped program Gottlieb ran at the US Marine base in Atsugi, Japan, is where a young Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald was likely first exposed to LSD as a part of Gottlieb's MK research program. Charles Joseph Whitman, the first mass shooter, was also a former Marine and may have been MK’d and programmed in the service.

Sid Gottlieb, head "chemical section" of Allan Dulles' CIA technical services directorate, was into some dark technologies, trying to get on terms with trans dimensional entities, cracking heads and frying experimental subjects’ brains with drugs, trauma, hypnosis.

Gottlieb wanted more and better control over individuals and groups. A full function zombie with limited autonomy and a happy, unquestioning disposition.

Sugar growers in Florida in the 50s used lurching brain damaged zombies created by Haitian bokors for labor in the cane fields, but the Bokors methods (described by Wade Davis’ in The Serpent and the Rainbow, BOOK not movie) - the Bokor's methods caused substantial brain damage and the zombie's functions were/are limited to brute repetitive labor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Serpent_and_the_Rainbow_(book)

Gottlieb wanted to create light stepping, autonomous, high functioning griffon zombies suitable sex slaves who could do complex creative work and who would offer up their own children for sex, ritual and sacrifice.

[For Investors Only! FIO]

Our story or "book" as we say in musical theater, continues:

The MK program revealed to the Church committee and a later Senate committee was carefully selected to mislead the American people about the nature and scope of the MKU program and its ultimate objective: total social control. The entire MKU research project was compartmentalized; by design, individual research ‘modules’ were assigned to 100s of prestigious university and institutional contract labs.

MK research work was done parallel rather than serially or sequentially. When the time came, the largest and most sinister mind and social control research program in history became the biggest ‘managed leak’ in C_A diversion and cover-up history.

Doc Sid Gottlieb is usually portrayed as a sinister goofball with a pocket full of impractical lethal technological gizmos. A historical curiosity, part of the agencies troubled adolescence, an archaic relic of a polarized world where exploding cigars and beard depilatories were clutched as solutions to otherwise intractable problems. Catnip for reporters.

Now comes our finale, MK Ultra fueled insanity, burning the cities extravaganza,

A senatorial committee declares MK Ultra a bad thing, C_A promises no more demonic harmonics and assorted puppets and NPCs take bows in a salute their own integrity.

That’s the end dot dot dot
