>And they are cause for concern because the United States' traditional early warning systems might not be able to see those weapons coming.

I assume they tested these weapons?

I assume we watched them test these weapons?

I assume the IAs were all over these tests

What do we know?

and how does free will factor into their visions of future?

to believe in looking glass, you would have to also believe in predestination of everything - ie we are just robots playing our role - we have no free will

homey can't go there

too old and too stoned to tackle quantum anything

 

at this point in my life I recognize advance science/math/physics to be religious, because it gets so hard to understand you have to have faith in it, because you end up saying, "if you say so"

DAGON ื“ื’ื•ืŸ

I. Dagon is the Hebrew form of the name of the god Dagan, who was an important Mesopotamian and West Semitic deity. Dagon occurs as a Philistine deity in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the god of Ashdod (1 Sam 5:1โ€“7 and 1 Macc 10:83โ€“84; Judg 16:23 [Gaza]; 1 Chr 10:10 [Beth-Shan?]). The LXX also reads the name ฮ”ฮฑฮณฯ‰ฮฝ instead of Nebo (โ†’Nabรป) in Isa 46:1.

The etymology of the name Dagan is uncertain. Etymologies based on dฤg, โ€˜fishโ€™, dฤgฤn, โ€˜grainโ€™, and on a root meaning โ€˜be cloudyโ€™ (Arabic dajj or dajana) are all equally dubious and there is no contextual evidence from the Hebrew Bible or from Mesopotamian/West Semitic sources to give much support to these speculations. It is wiser to restrict oneself to what can be known from the evidence, principally that Dagan was a deity of major significance in the Mari region in the Old Babylonian period and that his worship appears to have spread widely in later times. He was thus adopted, no doubt in some syncretistic form, perhaps as a corn-god, by the Philistines.

II. โ€ฆ

As for โ€˜grainโ€™, this suggestion has a venerable ancestry in that this is the significance of Dagan in Philo of Byblos, where Dagon is identical with Siton and is regarded as having discovered grain and the plough. This cannot, however, be regarded as settling the issue and it is now a widely held view that the word for โ€˜grainโ€™ comes from the name of the god and not vice versa.
