So the trial goes on and on
Trying to figure out the truth
Asking questions
Getting answers
Assuming the answers are true
Then judging whether the truth deserves a punishment
Based on existing laws
But it always seems like
Someone is not telling the truth
Somehow or somewhere the truth got lost
And everyone involved in the trial
Is struggling to find it
But the real trouble of the matter is
That once every little bits of truth came out
If there is no indisputable proof
It just boils down to who is more convincing
And there lies the problem of jury trial
Almost anyone can be convinced
One way or the other
By carefully arranging the words
In a seemingly simple but complex maze
So that by the time the jury is done listening
They are completely lost
Unable to counter the conclusion
Unable to think on their own
Completely sold
At the end
All the truth is out the window
And the only thing that matters
Is who lost the jury

Numbers
Numbers
Yes, numbers
That is all we have
To explain the universe
To understand
To make some sense out of the unknown
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Add to that some functions
+ - / x derivatives squares roots
And whatever else mathematicians have come up with
But it does not matter what function
They are all there to move around numbers
And the physicists have been searching
Pondering and racking their brains
To find this "one unifying theme"
Hear of it?
Using what....the numbers
It is really amazing though
How far and how much humans have used these numbers
To build something so unnatural
Out of natural raw materials
Computer chips, cars, TVs, skyscrapers
Just amazing
But like any tool
There are limits of what it can do
You can arrange and manipulate numbers
However you want endlessly
And it will fail to explain
Things that are inexplicable
It is not that anything is inexplicable
In this world
But that some things are not explicable
Using numbers
But human beings are stubborn creatures
Or it may be that there is no other tool
And forever will keep moving numbers around
To find an answer
That cannot be found with numbers
A futile endeavor

Thank You
Everyone is "doe-dook-nom"
Translated, a thief
That pretty much sums up
The whole world economy
If a rock can be sold for $10000
It would
And it does, a diamond
But just an ordinary rock?
No one would pay for it
But if there was someone who would pay
$10000 or more for your backyard rock
You would take the money
And wonder whether it was worth more
Yeah
No one is looking after your bank account
Except yourself
Maximum profit
That's the bottom line
So next time you hear a merchant say
"I will give you a discount"
Don't even think about saying
"Thank you"

Two Time Frames
To elaborate on prior statement "You can slow down the speed at which you age" and make it more clear to understand first it needs to be said that the statement is not directly accurate. How can someone slow down the rate at which the body ages? There are two ways to achieve the result. Think of a car on the freeway. How can a particular vehicle travel slower than other cars? One way is to literally slow down and let other cars pass you. The other way is for other cars to speed up. They are both the same thing from different perspective.
Now let's suppose every human lives exactly 100 years. The biological clock of 100 years timed by earth's rotation around the sun. The pursuit of human beings have been to live longer and with that naturally people think of slowing down their body from aging. But what if everyone lives 100 years but some live to be 200? How can that be? Think of a car that only can role on the ground for 100 miles but ends up 200 miles from the origin. The odometer records 100 miles. But when measuring the distance it is 200 miles. How can that be? The only way is for the car to stop and be carried to a further distance. It can be done in countless ways in terms of when, how much, and how often. For every one mile the car drives it is carried one mile further for example.
Applying the same analogy for humans, in order for someone to live to be 200 years old that person does not need to slow down the speed of aging (although that's exactly how it would seem from a 3rd person perspective) but actually increase the speed at which he or she travels through time. Basically time traveling.
The key is to do this without being aware of having traveled through time in order to feel as though the person actually lived for 200 years. (200 years is only for example). If someone lived for 200 years but is only aware of 100 years of actual life it would be meaningless. So how can someone live 100 years but end up 200 years old remembering every year of his life? (except the very early childhood of course). 100% increase maybe too much but for the sake of this scenario it is easier to understand.
Within 24 hour period there are many minutes, or seconds, that each individual cannot account for or remember. Let's say you are sitting in a car waiting for red light to turn to green, waiting in the grocery store, or just sitting in the couch looking out the window. These are idle times. Even if you skipped a second here or there it wouldn't make much difference in your life nor would you feel as though you are missing any time. The goal would be to skip over these idle times as much as possible without wasting your own biological clock or disturbing your contiguous awareness of time flow. The ideal way would be to do it in smaller increments. Shorter time periods skipped over.
But what if the time period became shorter and shorter and continuous? 1/10th of a second followed by skip of 1/10th, then 1/100th followed by 1/100th, and so on and nonstop. Eventually your biological clock and physical clock would coincide and flow together. Your biological clock flowing at half speed of physical clock but in actuality you are time traveling at twice the speed of physical clock. In essence you have slowed down the speed at which you age.
Two time frames can coexist in one reality.

Time Frame
The other day there was Nova special program on Star Trek. The show covered subjects like space travel and limitations to speed due to massive energy requirement. All was very interesting and seemed like plausible explanation for why space travel would be almost impossible for humans. Then the scientists in the show made some statements that quite didn't make sense and in fact was self contradictory.
It was time dilation.
Basically what they stated is that if someone travels near speed of light what seemed like a month of travel for the person in the spaceship would return to Earth thousands of years later at Earth time. Ok. Now there are two point of references in this scenario. Person on the Earth and person on the spaceship. Mathematically I suppose this was proved and each point of reference would see the passage of time according to the statement. Assuming the mathematics is correct. I mean, if the mathematics is universal truth independent of human existence.
The problem is this.
Scientists have measured the distance of various stars in the universe from less than 10 to more than 100,000 light years away. Let's suppose humans have built a ship to travel to a place 2 light years away at speed of light. After launch the person on the earth would assume the ship have arrived at the destination after two years. And after another two years on the earth the ship will return. If that does not hold true then the actual measurement of the distance would be false. Wouldn't it? Or should scientists assume the ship will not return for thousands of years and forget about the whole launch.
From the point of view on the spaceship the whole travel could seem like few days instead of two years. Sort of like being in a live slow motion without being in the cryofreeze. It's not that the person on the space ship took less time or the people on Earth aged faster. As an object approaches speed of light the passage of time for that object approaches zero.
What that means is that if someone travels at speed of light the only time passed for that person is the time it took to accelerate into speed of light and decelerate to stop from speed of light. Of course all the while from Earth's point of view the spaceship is traveling and aging. From the spaceship point of view the crew would have amnesia of the time it took to travel from point A to point B once it achieved speed of light. It would be instantaneous from spaceship point of reference since no time would have passed in that frame of reference.
So what does that mean? It means that at speed of light you can travel instantaneously from point A to point B except that everyone outside of your point of reference would not stop time with you.
It also means that two different frame of reference may have two different speed of time without contradicting physical laws. That means each individual on Earth can age at different speed by virtue of having different frame of reference.
You can slow down the speed at which you age.
