BLACK GOLD VS (?) GOLD
Tickle by George Bain
February 4, 2001


Not a scientific paper, just a note for you, the studious, if willing or curious, to ponder or research.

Since before space traveling, not one drop of matter was unaccounted for, all was in a typical T form accounting, it (energy, substance) was on the left or the right of the T. Now there are a few kilograms of human machines and human waste circling the earth.

Since we have plunder the depths of the earth, extracting water, gas and oil mainly, amen of silver and gold and iron and the rest of the metals, we have left huge holes that if they were to cave in could cause the moving of rocks and dirt. This movement would cause movements on top of the "table" (the ground under our shoes), this would cause in turn, the dishes and glasses (homes, buildings) on top of the tablecloth (our roads and cities) to come tumbling down.

Tell India, tell El Salvador, of recent earthquake fame, about it!, only Africa is free of Earthquakes?, look it up, is true!, and Africa does not have a significant oil industry, YET.

Yes, yes, there are many other causes, but, do you believe that extracting 1,000,000 barrels a DAY!, (Equivalent to 7000 trailers DAILY, per country extracting oil), from different holes around the globe Earth, will leave the center of the earth intact forever?, how many of you have made tunnels in the sand, no accidents?, no cave inn's.

I question the wisdom of our forefathers in this matter, but hell, I know they were not thinking of tomorrow, when they discovered black gold, they were thinking of their accounts in the bank getting bigger. Today we are not thinking of the hole we are making, we want more and cheaper gas! By God!. Our thinking is also guided by our bank account and our search for pleasure.

I said I questioned the wisdom, for if the effort to develop sun energy had prevailed over non-renewable petroleum energy, another tune would be playing on earth movements today!

For those even more tickled by this tickle, "consider the following": (mimicking Bill Nye, the science guy!), a gyroscope, the earth and the 1000 miles per hour rotation of it on its own axis and its 60,000 miles per hour velocity around the sun; while there was no weight loss and no massive excavations the menial differences in weight did not affect either speeds or displacement, but now, has the numbers changed to a sufficient degree to make the Earth 3ed., planet from the sun wonder or wobble off course?

Anyone for Sun Energy?, Wind Energy?, Sea Wave Energy?, instead of Black Gold?, electric/gasoline cars?, filling holes with trash?, California voted aye to all, and the rest of us?
