Saint Michel d'Aiguilhe, France

"Adelard of Bath travelled extensively throughout Greece, Sicily, Spain, Anatolia, Syria and potentially Palestine, always seeking information and manuscripts and knowledge. And that is the only reason why the astronomical work of Al-Khwarizmi survives at all – the book is lost in the Arabic original, and every subsequent copy derives from Adelard’s Latin-language translation; the same applies to Al-Khwarizmi’s work on Indian arithmetic, only surviving in other, contemporary Latin translations, or to the large majority of the work by the philosopher Averroes (1126-1198), entirely lost in the original Arabic."

China Warns the USA

China is no longer content to permit the USA to throw its economic weight around without consequences. Beijing has made it clear that it won’t yield to Washington’s latest tariff threats, urging the United States to seek a negotiated settlement instead of escalating tensions. The warning came as part of an official statement released by […]

The Tomahawk issue is causing extreme concern in Moscow, as President Putin has already stated, according to his press secretary, Dmitry Peskov.

Other statements:

▫️ Tomahawks are a serious weapon, but they will not change the situation on the front lines.
▫️ The issue of a settlement in Ukraine is at a very dramatic juncture, with tensions escalating on all sides.
▫️ Russia is ready for a peaceful settlement, and Trump is also calling for negotiations, but the EU and Kyiv are unwilling to act.

There were some requests for a transcript of my lecture from last week. I copied the transcript and edited in the slides. This is a top-level overview of much of the material that will be in my three-volume Fields & Energy book.

I’m going to begin by talking about... a little bit of history and background on the origins of electromagnetic science. I’ll talk about some of the different models we have for how electricity and magnetism work. I’ll discuss what went wrong in science going into the modern physics era. And I’ll talk finally about how fields and energy have the potential to fix some of the problems with our understanding of physics.

Tensegrity: The Art and Science of Balance

Tensegrity is a fascinating design principle where rigid rods carry compression while cables handle tension. What makes it truly striking is that the rods never touch each other — instead, they seem to “float” in space, held together only by the balance of stretched cables.

This concept began to take shape in the early 20th century. American architect Buckminster Fuller coined the term “tensegrity”, and it quickly became a symbol of futuristic design and structural innovation.

In the video, you’ll see a famous example — the so-called floating table, a mesmerizing object that brings this principle to life. 🛋️✨

Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT

In Gold Oz's:
1. The 1929 high took 30 years to recover.
2. The 1966 high took 32 years to recover.
3. The 1999 high will be unlikely to recover in even in 50+ years

All other equity crises were relatively insignificant in XAU oz's and were just part of the far large cycle up's and down's, yup that includes the massive events of:
1. 2020
2. 2008
3. 1987
4. 1973
5. 1907

PS: This illustrates that the creation of the FED [1913] has created all the volatility rather than brought stability.
