Energy is a red herring. It equals mass times (299792458 metres per second) 2** so the same could be said of "mass" or "distance" or "time" and by further reasoning the universe started when time began, it had no mass or size, and we are missing a big piece of the puzzle!

"dark matter" at the moment is just conjecture. A real statement of affairs is that the outer spiral arms of galaxies are spinning faster than they should, and scientists have a hard time accepting that Newton's Law of Gravity maybe is not correct at these large distances. The only way to explain the observations and keep Newton's Law of gravitation is to add large amounts of dark matter we cannot see. Currently, our laws of physics are "bodged" to make them fit the current observations, as they have been several times in the past. It's only by new fundamental knowledge and understanding will these inconsistencies be cleared up.... and so on. Vera Rubin, measured the speed of stars in rotating galaxies accurately enough to convince the scientific community. She observed that stars in spinning galaxies were all rotating at roughly the same velocity, no matter their distance to the galactic centre. This is in contradiction with Kepler’s law that describes the rotation of planets around the Sun. but there seems to be just exactly enough dark matter around to make the above statement true. Does that sound kind of a lame (as in a real HOKEY) explanation to fit the observed results or what??? I think maybe this will be like another Milkelson Morely type of experimental discovery and it will take another Einstein type character to figure out exactly what's going on. science-frontiers.com quantumdiaries.org Whatever.... I think we all know the eventual outcome if a whole load of new currency is printed though, no matter what tricks are played in the shorter term that make things look like an improvement. -g-

Euro Falls to Lowest Since 2003 on Syriza Victory; Krone Slides The result hands Tsipras a mandate to confront the program of austerity imposed in return for pledges of 240 billion euros ($268 billion) in aid since May 2010. “What we do think this outcome brings is once again volatility back to the fore,” Ben Pedley, head of investment strategy for Asia at HSBC Private Bank in Hong Kong said in an interview with Bloomberg’s “On The Move” with Rishaad Salamat. “We’re looking at $1.09, which right now looks quite conservative” for the euro, he said. The euro has tumbled 6.1 percent during the past month, the worst performer of 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The yen rose 5.9 percent, the best performance and the dollar gained 3.3 percent.

Greece pardoned Germany debt in 1953. Germany's miracle was result of debt relief German economic miracle: thanks to debt relief?Highly indebted, without access to capital, viewed suspiciously by creditors - that was Germany in 1953. Half the country's debts were canceled 60 years ago this week - the foundation of the "economic miracle." Debt agreement[ edit]The parties that were involved besides West Germany included Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Greece, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa, the United States, and Yugoslavia and others. The states of the Eastern Bloc were not involved. The negotiations lasted from February 27 to August 8, 1953. [1] The total under negotiation was 16 billion marks of debts resulting from the Treaty of Versailles of World War I which had defaulted in the 1930s, but which Germany decided to repay to restore its reputation. This money was owed to government and private banks in the U.S., France and Britain. Another 16 billion marks represented postwar loans by the U.S. Under the London Debts Agreement of 1953, the repayable amount was reduced by 50% to about 15 billion marks and stretched out over 30 years, and compared to the fast-growing German economy were of minor impact.
