ASTRANIMU - Plural for Astranimus which is Latin for "star mind". In his 1987 book,"The Selfish Gene" Richard Dawkins (Oxford Biologist) suggested the term "replicator" to refer to a thing (of whatever construction) that was able to survive in its envoirnment, and reproduce itself. Imagine a rare complex of knotted electromagnetic fields and plazma occuring in a star. If we could imagine such a complex being able to persist (perhaps like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter) then we could also imagine it being able to spawn smaller likenesses of itself (much as a huricane sometimes spawns tornadoes at its perifery). Given billions of year such electromagnetic phenomenon could have evolved much greater complexity,and even intelligence. Thus the name for these hypothetical beings, astranimu. If any of you whiz kids can come up with a believable electromagnetic/fusion "seed" phenomenon. I'd sure be excited to hear about it. jackmitchener@gmail.com
Zap! You are now a frogman. But not just any frogman. Your magic flippers allow
you to walk on the surface of the water. You are now walking the water beside a
yellowish glowing ball which is floating half out, and half under the surface. You must
walk faster and faster because the ball is spiraling down a whirlpool. When you
and the ball get to the bottom point of the whirlpool . . . you both pass thru
it . . . to the other side of the surface! Your magic flippers still allow you
to walk the surface, but your head is now underwater. Of course, from your
perspective, your head is upright and your flippers are walking along the
silvery surface of a steep conical hill. You notice that your glowing ball is
spiraling down this hill at a gradualy slowing pace.
As you suspected, this is an allegory. The glowing globe is the sun. The
whirlpool is the mass deformed space-time of our galaxy. When you passed thru
the point at the bottom of the whirlpool, you passed thru the black hole at the
center of the Milky Way. As you followed your globe on its spiral down the hill
(walking the underside of the surface) . . . you were walking in an antimatter
galaxy, following (in reverse time) an antimatter sun away from the white hole
at the center of its galaxy. Thus black holes are merely portals between the
matter/forward-time, and the antimatter/reverse-time aspects of the universe.

Please do what you can to allow UN bio weapons inspectors to examine whatever they like in the US. Try to put a spotlight on US noncompliance with international treaties against bio-warefare. A bodybuilder wants "no fat". A business manager wants "no deadwood". A tyrant wants to get rid of the lazy, the disabled, and the retired. He does not want his nation's resources used to support unproductive people (when those resources could be used to support war). Thus, many citizens fear that custom designed diseases (say like MRSA, or age targeting viruses ) might be deployed by our own government inside the USA against such populations.
