The Infinite World

I believe the furthest any human had ever been is the moon during the Apollo programme. Human need to venture further than that. Mars is little too far away with our current technical abilities. There is a need to build the technical expertise require for space travel, the current launch propulsion system is too energy consuming and waste a great deal of energy. The system is too unreliable, unstable and too primitive. The resources is there but wasted on other unworthy purpose. Stop killing each other and you will find the time and resources to venture into space. Human need to build something much bigger than the space shuttle. But how to build the spacecraft in space ? Propulsion is always a problem for spacecraft getting off the surface of earth, currently there is no spacecraft that can take off and go into orbit without booster rocket.

Completed the Newton 32 km run this morning in 3 hours 48 min 52 secs.  Started out the 1st km in 6:34 and picked up speed to 6:12, 6:02, 6:15, 6:02, 6:06, 6:08, 6:08, 5:55, 6:00, finished 10km 1:01:25. Slowed in the 2nd 10 km to about 1 hour 5 min and finished 22km in 2 hour 22 min. The slow down was expected as my training has been up to about 20km only. Muscle cramps started about  23 km returning from East Coast going into Marina East, had to stop and stretched the thigh muscle a number of times. Completed the last 10 km in 1 hour 28min plus, full muscle cramp near the last 100m of the run. Clearly, a lack of mileage clocked ! Luckily the weather was kind, could have been an even less ideal condition. Wondering how to tackle 42.195 km on 4 Dec 2016!

The mind is a unique component of any human beings, it determine how they live their life. It's very difficult for a normal human being to control it, they are usually affected by their emotional side that take control from time to time. Human need to really understand how their emotional side kick in and how to control it to prevent it from taking control over their general well being. It can be really ugly when the mind influence a person to be very negative in his thoughts, to the extend that it can even end a life!

Education is the passing on of knowledge from the people who supposingly know, to the people who need to know such as children and adults who require the knowledge to earn a living. Those who teach need to know how to pass on their knowledge and in a proper and interesting way. But sadly, the school and education facilities are lacking in many places. People in developed countries throw away so many books every so often, airlines should offer free space for charity donation of books to these countries that are in needs of such materials.

If you have ever witnessed the launch of a space bound rockets live or on any media, its spectacular with the associated sight and sound. But, is this the only way to leave the planet? It's a fuel guzzling exercise, this is why the rocket is so big, maybe 80 percent is meant for the propellant alone. It's such a waste of space and resources for the space mission. There has to be a better way of getting off the planet! How many people can travel in such transportation mode to space ? The most people getting off from the surface of earth on any mission is six on one of the space shuttle missions.

Finally crossed the 20km mark today, covered 20.04 km in 2 hours 1 minute 33seconds, that's an average of 6:04 per km. This is slow for a runner but I am contented for now. Cannot ask for more if you do not treat your body well, have not been doing much other than running 15 to 20 km every week. I have a 32 km run coming up on 30 Oct 2016, so have to put in some mileage to get my body to ready for the run.

Reading this phase anywhere will lead to the question of how big is the universe, and there are many different views. The limited knowledge that the conscious mind can handle, can hardly comprehend the enormous scope of this questions. If you think the universe is flat like a piece of paper, then it's ridiculous, you ignore the fact that it's probably omni directional. How can it be flat ? It's just too mind boggling for the even most powerful computer presently available, human mind can never be powerful enough to comprehend. Human need to first understand the working of their mind and body to get any further. They need to use what they know for a better cause than trying to get ahead of each other. The focus should never be the individual, human beings are inately selfish. By the way, what does mean when someone says the universe is flat?

Human can only speculate due to their lack of advance technology! At the rate they are progressing, probably can never reach another world. The greater chances is that they kill themselves to extinction  before becoming an advance race. There is no possibility that any living beings would be able to find out more about the universe that they live in. It might be infinite in size, meaning you will never reach the edge! Human needs to understand that it is no use trying to out do your own kind, it's more meaningful and important to evolve as a race that is physcally and mentally more advance. 

Less than 1 percent ? In relation to the size of the known universe, probably less than 1 percent? Nobody can tell and answer this question. There are so much information that is waiting for us to discover them. What are we missing, from the Big Bang to a planet like earth? Imagine what goes on from the bang, probably bits and pieces coming together over long period of time to form the basic part of a planet. But, this is just probably speculation, usually a story is tell over time by adding more and more to it. It's just like a fairy tale, no one can verify. Human will never know, imagine someone started recording trillions of years ago ! But who, no one is there at the beginning? 

Signed up for the Newton 32 Km run coming up on 30 Oct 2016. The last time I did it in 2014, I finished in 3 hour 29min. I am going to really take it easy this time, my training has been really short on distance lately. I am expecting to finish in about 3.5 hours and hope this will provide a good experience leading up to the 4 Dec SCB Singapore marathon. 

Human need to plan for their future, too many mouths to feed and depleting the earth's resources unnecessary. There is a need to develop the human mind to its fullest potential and at the same time maintain sanity. Human needs to control their emotions and do the right things. Stop fighting over petty issues and killing your own kind. Stop being greedy and wanting to control others. After all, you are all the same except your skill colour and stop disliking each others. People need to behave and work together to achieve a greater goal. Human need to tame their wild sides and behave like a civilised race. Human need to get out of their solar system and start exploring the greater beyond. Think more and stop fighting like a child.

It is common knowledge that the average person uses little of the vast capacity of their mind. There should be a focus in schools to help students to think wide and far, in the hope of discovering the amazing ability of the mind! Everything that human needs to know and learn is already there, just waiting to be discovered. There is no possibility that human will actually create anything out of anything, all things are already there and actually waiting for their turns to be utilised by humans. But, humans need to control their urge for power, greed and evil thoughts that they cannot avoid. Human are too weak in the mind, they are easily manipulated and controlled by their own kind. The majority of humans cannot think independently and critically. They still have a long way to go to become an advance living race.

One of the biggest issue facing human in their quest to explore is bringing with them energy on the move. Especially when they venture into space, the emptiness of space makes it extremely difficult to harness energy on the move. Is there invisible material that can be converted to energy l? Can a fission or fusion reactor work in space ? There is a need to work on storing the energy or generating it   when it's needed with materials that can be source with relative ease.

Human need to control their actions through their thinking. 99 percent of the human do not think properly and make good use of their most powerful organ in their body. There are a lot about the human potential that are waiting to be discovered. The world will have world peace the day they start thinking right and control their mind. There are are many aspects of a human that are in build and typical of a normal human. It is very difficult for the mind to fight these in build quality!

SpaceX continue with its record setting and made history with its 8th successful launch of 2016.  And the first stage also made a landing on its mobile robot ship in the Atlantic Ocean! This is a good thing that will spur the growth of the space exploration program throughout the world.

The eight launch of year for Space X is scheduled for 14 Aug 2016, Sunday. This will be a mile stone for the company !

Just finished a 11.5km run this morning in 1 hour 15min28sec. Started the run late at 8.50am, luckily the weather was not too hot. Trying hard to up my mileage now, 4 months to the SCB marathon on 4 Dec 2016!

Yes, Spacex achieved its 7th launch of 2016 today, just 45min past midnight on 18 July 2016. And a successful landing of its first stage on land.  I think SpaceX equalised its most launches in a year, so the next launch will be a record breaking feat! 

We have seen this concept in friction story, cartoon, movie, is this our ultimate end ? I think earth should move towards a single entity, too much resources are wasted to fight and dominate each other. The amount of money wasted on weapon could have been used to feed the entire earth population. Even in the commercial space such as ,IT and financial services, the precaution taken by companies against fraudsters, hackers, is a heavy burden that is unnecessary. Greed and authority are 2 big bad traits of human, they are always fighting over such matters! Maybe it will take another thousand years of fighting to learn from their mistakes. Just like in the movies, "human is a primitive race, they will take time to learn"!

I covered a distance of 19.35km this morning in 2hr4min40.9sec. It was a struggle for me, I have not run such a long distance for quite awhile.
