The Infinite Second

Plastered all over the news recently are reports of a new machine called the NIST-F2. The F1 model released in 1999 was just not cutting it. What I'm speaking of is an atomic clock that loses one trillionth of a second every day. I just cannot fathom losing that much time.

Why is such a precise measurement useful? Many high-tech computer systems need precision to the millionth or even billionth of a second. GPS communication, power grids and other daily forces that synchronize across many systems rely on technology like the NIST-F1. As our world gets more advanced and more reliant on computers, and further computers keep pushing the boundaries of what can be done per second. It is time to wonder what these precise timing tools, coupled with automation and ingenuity will be able to accomplish. How far will the subdivision of the modern second get? If a computer could perform a set task per trillionth of a second, could technology advance where it performs the same task in a googleplexth of a second? How complex would that task be? Right now, modern computer chips do loads of calculations per minutia of a second, but not any one that you could point out and boast about, just bits here and there that form something larger. With more complex tasks being performed in nth seconds along with time-keeping technologies such as the NIST-F2 and beyond, is it the first step in experiencing the infinite second?

There are several philosophical conundrums with "the infinite second." Will it last a second, or an infinite amount of time? Would the placement of infinite instructions not take an infinite amount of time?

So, truly not infinite, but it would be be cool, nay impressive, nay mind boggling to witness how our "world" will change as our capabilities approach infinity.

We can tell each other what we've accomplished in a year, month, week, day, even a minute; however, will we ever brag about how much we've accomplished in a nanosecond? By "accomplish" it will surely mean something metaphysical and non-tangible. Obviously, we can't grow a tree in a shorter period of time, but the virtual world of the future will be a blur to our physical senses. To synchronize the 3-D world wide web, we will surely need the NIST-F3. And by 3-D I don't mean putting on a pair of 3-D glasses and objects come out of the screen. I mean a virtual "internet" that is 3-D and interactive with our senses. That's a blog for another time. There will be blogs on self-improving your "second" that will crop up around the internet. How-to seminars for business professionals similar to high-frequency traders who have discovered the benefits of millisecond advantages in the markets.

Not Another Random How To: How to Dress Like a Gangsta

I was going to just post this on MoT nation or the ReMusings page, then I thought (actual internal dialogue), "No, this is worth posting to the site".

So, in case you were looking for it, I found the whitest article on the internet. The clincher is the "Warning" section:

http://www.wikihow.com/Dress-Like-a-Gangsta

Assuming you've read and possibly laughed your way through the above, I have two bits of insight to share. If you are searching the internet for "how to dress like a gangsta" 1) you're not a gangster and 2) it's too late for you to become one.

Lack of an apostrophe
That's pretty gangsta

Now you may be wondering, "How might De have come upon this article? Does he perhaps aspire to be a gangster?"

Wow. Ridiculous questions.

For further entertainment, imagine the above article in the voice of Herbert the Pervert. Also, consider reading:

This article actually suggests not listening to others, rendering all practical use for this article impossible.  

-De

DE...EXPOSED!!

If you clicked and were expecting a compromising picture of De you can Snapchat him, and work that out between you two.

I have known this for awhile now, and after much consideration I think it is time for the world to know. It is time to release this well-kept secret. I am certain that most will not believe mi, but I assure you these are 100% facts.

Some backstory

De a.k.a whiteface (no seriously, in North Korea they gave him the epithet "whiteface", because when everyone had the same jumpsuit uniform on he clearly stood out because of his "white face). How whiteface came to America? Well not many really know. He tells most that it was by hardwork and perseverance, but as it will be presently revealed. Whiteface is in the direct lineage of Kim Jung Il, or more concisely he is Il's son and Un's younger brother. Exhale. Finally.

Some more backstory

Whiteface is in fact Korean. He was just unfortunately born, well white. There really is no explanation for it. Some say that this is all part of Kim Jong Un's legacy-  Kim Jong Un can have white children at will. Mr. Un lacked some foresight and realized no matter his fertile omnipotence it wasn't proper to have a white child. So in the dead of night. De was strapped to a Russian rocket and shot about 75 meters to sea where the South Koreans picked him up. Whiteface was immensely lucky he is white, since the South Koreans thought it was some Western dignitaries kidnapped child they just saved. Nope. As the they shopped the small child around the United Nations floor to see if anyone would claim him, a Sicilian man motioned to the Koreans. Not understanding each other in the slightest the Koreans gave the Sicilian man the child when in fact all he wanted was a smoke. The Sicilian interpreter then sent whiteface to go live in America with his distant cousins in Illinois.

Aside
I can see that your mind is wrought with skepticism. So many bold claims. Why did the Sicilian man not have his own cigarettes? I'll go piece by piece.

First and foremost it is important to note that De has always had an affinity for the late Kim Jong Il. In fact he was so much in denial when his father died that he made this post about it. Not to mention he adored his father so much he claimed over twenty ridiculous feats for his dear papa.

You might be also wondering, "no way did a North Korean rocket travel 75 meters." I'll admit this one is kind of hard to believe myself. But upon further review it was actually a Russian rocket they employed.

How did he survive the fall in to the sea? Don't be ridiculous is father is Kim Jong Il, whiteface would have been a demigod.

Why didn't the Sicilian have his own cigarettes on hand at the United Nations meeting? I can foresee receiving tons of flak for this one. Probably the biggest hole in my whole story. But see that day they were training new maids at the hotel the ambassadors were staying at. They simply got a little greedy and stole his pack of smokes. The ones I have salvaged and took a picture for you all as proof.

Proof

And so there it is. Airtight. Open and shut case on how De a.k.a. whiteface is North Korean and Kim Jong Il's son.
