[Vo]:OFF TOPIC (mostly): Ground Zero: Madison, Wisconsin, USA's Cairo continues
If you're not interested in the on-going struggle pertaining to two diametrically opposing political POVs vying to steer the direction our economy may soon have to contend with I would recommend skipping this Off-Topic post. Actually, IMHO, it's not entirely off-topic. I hope our planet may soon benefit from the fallout of Rossi Focardi duo (and possibly Mills Co.) work, assuming it's not all smoke and mirrors. In the meantime, we must contend with the reality of the situation: The reality of Broken Economies: Who are we going to blame. Versus How do we fix the problem. Another Brief Public Service Announcement On Friday, Wisconsin's state and local public employees offered to accept all of the economic concessions called for in the budget repair bill - including Governor Walker's pension and health care concessions, the very items our governor originally stated are absolutely necessary in order to solve Wisconsin's looming deficits. (Personally, I knew right from the beginning that the unions would eventually concede to all of Scott Walker's economic austerity cuts, even if it is unfair. It was the right thing to do under the current circumstances.) The unions only asked that Scott Walker remove the provision that does away with 50 years of collective bargaining. Governor Walker flatly turned the offer down. If the issue had really been about solving Wisconsin's looming budget deficit a budgetary solution is now at-hand. The unions have now conceded to all of Walker's key budgetary demands. It has become blatantly clear at this point that the primary agenda in Walker's modus operandi was never about balancing the budget; rather it is to get rid of unions, particularly the right of unions to bargain collectively. It is incredulous to me that our governor is willing to refuse a solution to our state's looming budget crisis by refusing to accept the very fiscal concessions he has constantly been calling for. It is my sincere hope that many readers of this post can at least appreciate why Wisconsin public employees feel just tad ticked off. Walker's political arm twisting is at least finally beginning to leave a bad taste in the mouths of many who in the past could have cared less about politics or unions.

Rich Murray 2011.02.18 I think there is a misconception here. There isn't any true two-body or three-body problem because there are far, far more than two or three bodies in the universe! We simplify problems by neglecting what is remote. So we might, indeed, look at 3-body problems; some solutions are known that are special cases, if I'm correct. As the attempt to predict extends into the future, however, the results become more and more inaccurate, except in stable special cases. I don't recall description of the overall problem mentioned when I was young, before chaos theory became well-known. The problem is infinite sensitivity to initial conditions. In setting up an attempt to predict behavior of a system, even when the laws of motion are well-defined, it's necessary to specify the initial conditions, i.e., the position and velocity of the elements. Now, from the Uncertainty Principle, we can only know these to a certain combined accuracy, the product of the uncertainties cannot be less than a fixed value. But surely that's only a tiny detail! However, turns out, some physical systems are infinitely sensitive to initial conditions. Real physical systems, some fairly simple ones. Using math, start with one particular exact initial condition, and you get one result. Start from something infinitesimally different, you can get a radically different result. In practice, this means that the future of a system cannot, in general, be exactly predicted, and for long periods of time, relatively, the inaccuracy can become gross. There is a lovely youtube video showing a pendulum suspended over four magnets. If you start from a particular starting position, hovering over which magnet will the pendulum end up settling? Outside regions close to the magnets, it turns out to be *unpredictable.* That's because one cannot set the initial conditions *exactly* the same. You can't predict the outcome even by a history of tries, by releasing the pendulum again from the supposedly same spot. You can't make the spot 'same' enough. (Probably. There might exist some regions where the outcome is predictable, besides the obvious ones over the attractors.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe5Enm96MFQfeature=related

Re: [Vo]:OFF TOPIC (mostly): Ground Zero: Madison, Wisconsin, USA's Cairo continues
Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana Carl Marx's dire prediction of the inevitability of a worker's revolution failed to come true in the USA because he didn't anticipate the remedial role of labor unions. Also, the turn of the 20th century was a time of much religious fervor in the USA, and high moral ideals for many. These things helped the USA suffer through the depression hardships with nominal civil unrest. These factors are now greatly diminished in their capacity to help us thorough the calamity that can ensue if the bond market collapses, precipitating a second stock market and real estate market collapse, stress on the banks, problems with food production and problems with the transportation network. Default on some state and municipal bonds is already a feared possibility. Shutting down already shaky local governments by starting civil unrest only adds to the likelihood of default, and the severity of the consequences. Unthinking adherence to dogma in the face of grievously inhumane consequences is truly evil. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/
