Extemporaneous musings, occasionally poetic, about life in its richly varied dimensions, especially as relates to history, theology, law, literature, science, by one who is an attorney, ordained minister, historian, writer, and African American.

If computers connected in cyberspace for a common purpose can do great things, then human minds connected in cyberspace for a common purpose can do ever greater things, since the human mind produced the computer and its peripherals. http://www.ask.com/wiki/Computer_network?o=2800&qsrc=999&ad=doubleDown&an=apn&ap=ask.com

Why do our rockets, satellites, landers, and capsules all need propulsion systems, of some kind, while comets, meteors, asteroids, planets, moons, stars, appear not to need any kind of propulsion system whatsoever?
What power, presence, or force is enabling the heavenly bodies' persistent, orbital, continuous, super-fast and predictable motions in the sky?
Why can't we access it, whatever it is?


As the rocket probe, "Philae" from its mothership, "Rosetta," approaches its fateful rendezvous, in minutes, with a comet in outer space, it would be well to learn of the holy and original Philae Island in the Nile River, dividing Egypt from Ethiopia,at the 1st cataract. Dedicated to Osiris, Isis, Horus, and Hathor, eons ago prior to invasions by successive imperialists from the Greeks to the Romans to the early Christians to the Western Europeans to Turks to Arabs and Muslims, after Africa's fall. Britain's Aswan Dam flooded it in 1902. Scavengers and antiquaries looted it.

'PHILAE," the name of the European Space Agency probe expected to land on this comet, was also the name of the sacred island in Upper Egypt in the middle of the Nile River , where the final Egyptian priest who was able to read the hieroglyphics, was murdered by Christians to facilitate the spread of its religion, according to the book, STOLEN LEGACY, by George G.M. James. "ROSETTA," the comet probe's mothership is name of the famous stone, deciphered by Champollion, of France in 1822, containing hieroglyphic, Greek, and Demotic inscriptions; enabling him to crack the hieroglyphic code, after its absence of almost 2,000 years. How paradoxical!
