All of a sudden we have two times here at KDXradio.com.
First there are clocks on our website from WorldTime Servers, which just registered 9:30 AM CDT.
All of a sudden we have two times here at KDXradio.com.
First there are clocks on our website from WorldTime Servers, which just registered 9:30 AM CDT.
Then, three minutes later, the little clock down in the right lower corner of the screen registered 9:30 AM CDT. The clocks are 3-minutes apart and have been for awhile.
Come to think of it there was an “upgrade” from Microsoft a few weeks back which was purported to repair something with switching from Daylight to Standard Time. That seemed odd, because the clock has been making that switch for a few years without a problem.
It is like being in two different times, 3-minutes apart.
Later I’ll check WWV, the shortwave time station, to find out which of the two times resides in reality. It would be a shame to live 3-minutes outside of reality.
What time is it where you are?
Time
The time here is 12:14 EDST according to the computer clock, 12:15 according to the cable box clock, and 11:15 according to my GPS which doesn’t correct for DST.
As Poincare and Einstein determined, it is all relative.

Poincare
Not many people know that it was Henri Poincare, not Albert Einstein, who has priority for publishing the correct formulation of the theory of relativity. He had beat Einstin by about three months. Neil appears to be one of the few people who know that fact.
Einsein’s 1905 paper is much more readable than Poincare’s, which is probably why it is better known. Poincare’s paper corrected an error in a 1904 paper by Lorentz about relativity.
Einstein said that he never saw Lorentz’s paper before his own publication. Poincre’s paper was published after Einstein had submitted his paper for publication, so he did not copy Poincare’s work.
Not At All Surprised
Ermi Roos, I am not at all surprised that two great thinkers came to similar ideas at right about the same time. That same thing seems to have happened from time to time in history.
The history books, for example, persist in naming Marconi as the inventor of radio, and he was a well known scientist of the time, but newspaper and other witness accounts point to Nathan B. Stubblefield, a Kentucky vegetable farmer and tinkerer as having demonstrated the world’s first wireless transmission of a harmonica being played by his son and received some distance away. I have two written articles on the subject. But earlier claims attribute the invention of radio to several other names. The point now is this: a number of people came up with the same idea and evidently did something, either a demonstration or a theory on paper.
In the 1970s I was researching and gathering material for a magazine article titled “The Electronic Soaking of St. Louis,” asking the old question of whether the growing amount of RF in the living environment was a health risk….. during this research I came to an idea that I did not publish in the same article….. I reasoned that human brain waves being in the ELF region, Extra Low Frequency, that mental telepathy could be explained by the ELF resonance of the earth, which I proposed would carry emotions and intense thought by way of the electromagnetic corridors to any place on the planet. Well, several months later I happened to see a speech by a psychologist in a psychology publication….. he made the exact same claim to a gathering of his peers in California. He could not have known about me, and I previously had not read his work.
Time Fiddling
When WWV at 10mHz beeped exactly 10-minutes past six-PM (reporting it in local CD time), the WorldTime Server clocks on my computer were exactly 1-second late. The Microsoft Windows side-bar clock was 3-minutes ahead.
So I went into the Clock Adjust department on the lower desktop toolbar and jiggled the numbers, which changed all the clocks and made them more messed up then they were.
I fiddled some more, and for the moment all the clocks are within 30-seconds of each other, with WorldTime Server clocks being the most accurate.
My guess is that in typical Windows style, their “update” was code written from a noisy Starbucks somewhere in silicon valley.
I Don’t Claim To Have ESP, But…
Sometimes an odd thing happens.
Very often I call my brother on the phone in
the evening. What happens next has occurred
many many times over the years –
A few minutes into the conversation my brother
will get an intercept beep for another incoming
call – and it will be my mother.
Now, my mother and I do have our own habits
that we have developed over the years – regarding
when we make routine family phone calls.
But still, it is odd that I will call him, and very soon
after, she will call him too. Again, this has happened
a lot over the years. Is there some kind of telepathic
connection occurring there? Who knows?
One other little thing. I really know nothing about this –
but some scientists have apparently discovered some kind of subatomic
particle that vibrates somehow in a certain way. They seem
to have figured out that there can be another like particle
that vibrates the same way at the same time. And the story
that I vaguely remember is that the distance between the particles
doesn’t matter! They will vibrate the same no matter how far
apart they are! One inch apart – 5,000 miles apart – distance
apparently doesn’t matter!
And an article I read somewhere
said that the above mentioned “sub atomic particle discovery”
might be in some way a part of the explanation for
ESP.
But Carl, I like the ELF idea. That is cool.
I know that this has nothing to do with radio.
Now my brain is starting to fill up with creepy
ESP and paranormal folklore.

Why It Is
I love titles that give no clue of what they mean. But here’s what it means…
Let me explain why telepathy IS a true low power radio subject, and that is because brain waves are low power low frequency electricity! They are NOT governed by the FCC, so we could wear hats with built in brain amplifiers and go high power!
Try and get my 50kW thoughts out of your mind!
Hmmmmm
If I get a haircut, will it change the operating frequency?
