Higgs and McAlevey

I've been writing about the CERN project since 2007 and last week I saw a film called Particle Fever that summarizes the entire project. For the last several years I have done a few pieces of artwork trying to "honor" the images coming from their "collisions" and the attempt to find the infamous Higgs Boson which is referred to as the "God Particle."

The images from the project have been limited but extremely spectacular which is understandable when you collide protons at the speed of light.

One of the images of the Higgs Boson, which they claim to have discovered, really blew me away.

I showed this image to a few people and they thought it was one of my new paintings.
This image took 20 Billion dollars and 20 years to create with thousands of people working endless hours....not to mention having the speed of light involved and magnets the size of Detroit.

I decided to make my version and am showing you stage #3.  The picture below is only 20% finished and by all accounts should only take another 19 years to finish.  My image has something theirs doesn't.

IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!

Stage Three of HIGGS/McALEVEY

My dear friend from Northern California, Dr. Franis Joseph Conlan, better known as Butch, who purchased one of my first CERN images a few years ago, asked me to send him stages as my new piece progressed.  It was such a good idea that I thought I would use MIND JAZZ and let everybody watch the progression.

Using the word EVERYONE is truly a misnomer since my MIND JAZZ audience consists of ???????.  I do have some loyal readers but the numbers vary from day to day and lately I've been leaving posts on longer if I think they have some relevant importance to the daily event called.....LIFE.

As an artist I'm really starting to wonder if the word relevant has ANYTHING to do with my physical existence.  When one reaches a certain age, and continues creating art, and hasn't received the recognition that one thinks one deserves then one simply feels that all work being done is obviously for another time and place...other than the time and place that appears to be NOW.

When I show my work to gallery people, and yes the number of gallery people I show my work to is quite limited, I walk away with the feeling that I SUCK. When I show my work to people who aren't involved in the gallery world I hear things like...WOW and THAT'S REALLY COOL and THAT'S REALLY PRETTY and WHY AREN'T YOU IN A GALLERY?

FRUSTRATED is the word that just dominates my world.  And the more frustrated I get the more artwork I create and last night I was so frustrated I ate 6 Klondike Heath ice cream bars and smoked two cigarettes.  The only positive thing is that I didn't do the two things at the same time.

Having a deep interest in Quantum Mechanics and having no mathematical ability creates an anomaly that can only be rectified by what I do artistically.  I find mathematical equations to be extremely beautiful and yet I have no idea how to create one but I love how they look.

Butch told me last week that one of the most beautiful is called Euler's Identity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_identity

A few years ago I created a painting called The Smartest painting I ever did or will do and in the middle I put nine of the greatest equations ever created.  Interpreting great was done by what I thought was important....and recognizable to the public.  I spent a few months, before I did the painting,  asking people what equations they knew and most people only knew....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence

This is the painting I did.

By the way I did go back and add my GITDP (glow in the dark paint) to this image
which puts in to my TWO-IN-ONE series.

My TWO-IN-ONE conceptual series is created by having a second picture appear after turning off all the lights.

That concept, by the way, gets a very cold response when talking to a gallery person...so you can imagine how my glow in the dark shoes get received.
 
Pretty soon some recognized artist will introduce paintings that glow in the dark and those same gallery people, that are snickering at me, will gush with praise.

The frustration is leaking out isn't it?  More Klondike bars on the way!

The physical illuminating part of this latest endeavor is all tied to Neo-Illumination and just how it's tied together is BEEing formulated at this very moment.

Getting back to the equations......about five years ago I wanted to create a line of art called....

ARTEQUATIONS......beautiful background colors with just a single equation written in the middle.  I think it's been done with  Einstein's.......but a series of them I have not seen.  The nine equations I included in my painting are all beautiful equations both in style and what they mean.

When I finish my Higgs/McAlevey piece I will put the HIGGS BOSON equation on the back of the painting, but for all I know it could be the size of Chicago.

I don't usually use Mind Jazz to blow smoke up my own ass but something needs to change soon.  I'm really getting tired of being ahead of the curve or completely behind the eight ball.

Does anyone have Vincent Van Gogh's cell phone number?

Time to get back to my painting and work on stage 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and so on and so on.....

Time for something tried and true

Imagine if the planet blew up and the only thing left floating in space was a capsule with  these three clips and a small note that said.....everybody on Earth was just like this guy.

Africa

Today in the LA TIMES an article appeared in a left hand column on the front page.  Headline
reads....PRESENCE OF U.S. IN AFRICA GROWING QUIETLY.

The opening paragraph....."Amid a surge of Islamic militancy in North Africa, a team of fewer than 50 U.S. special operations troops with a single helicopter arrived at a remote base in western Tunisia last month."

From Wikipedia
In late 1954, Gen. J. Lawton Collins was made ambassador to "Free Vietnam" (the term South Vietnam came into use in 1955), effectively elevating the country to sovereign status. Collins' instructions were to support the leader Ngo Dinh Diem in subverting communism, by helping him to build an army and wage a military campaign.^[172] In February 1955, Eisenhower dispatched the first American soldiers to Vietnam as military advisors to Diem's army. After Diem announced the formation of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, commonly known as South Vietnam) in October, Eisenhower immediately recognized the new state and offered military, economic, and technical assistance.^[173]
In the years that followed, Eisenhower increased the number of US military advisors in South Vietnam to 900 men.^[174] This was due to North Vietnam's support of "uprisings" in the south and concern the nation would fall.^[170] In May 1957 Diem, then President of South Vietnam, made a state visit to the United States for ten days. President Eisenhower pledged his continued support, and a parade was held in Diem's honor in New York City. Although Diem was publicly praised, in private Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conceded that Diem had been selected because there were no better alternatives.<sup>[175]

IT ALWAYS STARTS SMALL...............................

AN ADVISOR HERE A SOLDIER THERE
A HELICOPTER IN THE AIR
THEN BEFORE ANYONE CAN SEE THE LIGHT
THE US IS IN ANOTHER MILITARY FIGHT

The difference this time is not to STOP THE SPREAD OF COMMUNISM but instead to stop the spread of radical Islamic rule.

Quick history lesson.......Christian missionaries have always worked Africa, but most of their success as been in the southern part.   In the last 40 years Islamic leaders have dedicated a tremendous amount of energy into making Northern Africa and possibly all of Africa, completely Islamic. The Sunni faction of the Islamic religion dominates the playing field.  Algeria is 99% Sunni Muslim, Libya is 97% Sunni Muslim, The Sudan is 70% Sunni Muslim, Egypt is 94% Sunni Muslim......

THE SHI'A CONTINGENT OF THE ISLAMIC FAITH IS NOT HAPPY WITH THOSE NUMBERS

THE MILITANCY APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THAT POWER STRUGGLE AND NOW THE UNITED STATES HAS DECIDED TO SEND IN ADVISORS.

ADVISORS FOR WHO?  

I'm not really certain but since Shi'a rulers lead IRAN, I would imagine our troops are there to help Sunni's.  What's your guess?  They sure aren't there to help the Christians  because that boat sailed a long time ago.

 This battle for control has everything to do with ISLAMIC RELIGION and it's been extremely violent for awhile now and the fact that the US is finally responding means that the powers that be realize the truth.  ALL OF NORTHERN AFRICA COULD BE CONTROLLED BY RADICAL ISLAMIC FORCES WITHIN A FEW SHORT YEARS.

THE FEELING SEEMS TO BE......

THE UNITED STATES MUST DO WHATEVER NECESSARY TO HALT THE SPREAD OF RADICAL ISLAM IN THE AFRICA CONTINENT.

and to be perfect honest.......that feeling might be well placed.

RADICAL ISLAMIC LEADERS SEEM NOT TO HAVE ONE BIT OF TOLERANCE FOR OTHER BELIEF SYSTEMS.

AND THAT MIGHT BE THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM

THERE ARE RADICAL GROUPS IN ANY ORGANIZATION BUT ISLAM WINS HANDS DOWN FOR HOW MANY RADICALS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THIS PLANET.

CHRISTIANITY HAD SOME RADICAL MOVEMENTS IN THEIR PAST....BUT THE OPTIMUM WORD HERE IS PAST.

I THINK THE ACQUIRING OF MILLIONS OF AK-47'S CHANGED THE TYPE OF CONVERTING THAT IS BEING DONE IN AFRICA.....AND IF ONE CHOOSES TO LIVE BY THE SWORD....ONE CHOOSES TO DIE BY THE SWORD.

SO WHO ON THIS PLANET HAS THE BIGGEST AND BADDEST WEAPONS?

YOU GOT IT!

AND THUS WE START SMALL........with a few advisors and one helicopter and a few special ops forces.....

This is the way it works.....those few advisors get killed and then we send in back-up and wham mam thank you mam......50,000 US troops are battling to stop Radical Islam in Africa.

I'm fairly certain that's what we are doing in Afghanistan and obviously that was our goal in Iraq.

The real question is.........

IS IT WORKING?

After 9/11 I proposed that a COUNCIL OF FAITH  be established....and the reasons for radical behavior on the part of any religion be brought to the forefront and discussed....in the form of a worldwide tribunal televised weekly....with the ultimate declaration as the mission statement being......

Tolerance of opposing religious viewpoints MUST BE ADOPTED by all organized religions.

THIS SEEMS LIKE A MATTER FOR THE UNITED NATIONS IF THE UNITED NATIONS HAS ANY LEVERAGE LEFT.

I remember when Hilary coined the phrase..."it takes a village."

IN THIS CASE IT APPEARS THAT "IT WILL TAKE A
PLANET."

On one of my Neo-Illumination paintings done in 2002 I wrote the following.....

"Every religion claims ultimate truth and has anybody ever actually asked how that could be possible?  The real fear is that all this nonsensical behavior might really piss GOD off.....even though that's probably very unlikely.  Our true hope should be that GOD is love and that everything we do as humans on this planet is not actually being reviewed closely.  The soul is eternal and that element of creation is the true link with our CREATOR.</sup>
Human beings behave like a very young species and thank GOD for the soul experience."

 Neo-Illumination #24....received in 1996

      The Universe has a system of
             order and chaos
       The human experience is a
                    tangent
                        of
                  that system
                    that can
                       both
              establish order
                        and
                 create chaos

BELIEF SYSTEMS DIRECTLY LEAD TO
                           CHAOS

Acceptance with investigation and introspection
                         creates
                           more
                         ORDER

The mysteries of the Universe will always outnumber the known realities and chaos will forever exist.

OUR JOB SIMPLY MIGHT BE
                                                TO
                                               AVOID EXTINCTION
