Well for some reason you run out of the questions on the book of Isaiah I got 60 here and I'll keep bringing 60 every week because I've learned for a class of this size You need four times as many handouts as people that are here, so they're here and Thank you for making up those copies of those scripture passages on God's mercy and death because I forgot to bring them I hear they're already here and I'll bring some more next week in that case and Yeah, you heard about the cold weather of my sons in North Carolina, and he called me says dad it's nine degrees here and How did you ever handle I said I just can't stand being outside at nine degrees and So I says well remember I told you that when I was in Canada I played hockey when it was 15 below But I said what I didn't tell you was when it was 15 below there was no bench We played the entire time you have to in order to stay warm enough When it's that cold and so there's what what did you do when you had and I said well There's plenty of ranks and so we would just make sure we would just you know I'll go to the different ranks, but nobody sat in the bench when I got that cold What was hard for me was when I was on the optical telescope, and we had to do an eight-hour run At 15 below and that's hard. So you're basically just standing around You're looking at the eyepiece and you're trying to guide This star to get the spectra just right for eight straight hours. That was hard to do I don't know why you could try that that generally basically basically guiding it at 15 below You know it's not just keeping the telescope sorry you got to make it or the so that what that was hard to do And so my son said well dad, what's the coldest you've ever experienced as well the coldest was 45 below And so what's that like? Well, it's kind of like what Dave was sharing Where you would spit and your spit would be frozen solid when it hit the ground and would actually shatter And so you spit me here and you'd hear it shatter when it hits the ground My son's common is that dad that's cool in both senses of the word so But when it gets that cold you have to wear special clothing Matter of fact what I read is that when Siberia in that one place where it got down to 89 below a Couple of people actually died trying to walk from the car to the front door of a farmhouse That was literally just a few hundred yards away Because they didn't have the appropriate clothing you actually have to well even a 45 below you got to wear a Parka with a special kind of hood that's got kind of a tube But you know all you get to do is see what's directly in front of you Why the air has to warm before it gets to your nostrils? Otherwise you wind up freezing the trachea in your lungs, which is why in Canada No one can be made to work outside when it gets colder than minus 40 and so the telescope I was at Something went wrong when I was 45 below Guess who had to go outside and fix it yeah, because no engineer or mechanic would go outside So I'd have to go out and do it You say well what what went wrong well actually what happened on the telescope the grease would freeze And so the telescope would stop moving and so I would go outside with a cold chisel and hammer away the frozen grease And the telescope would work again, so Yeah, and you have to do that every few hours, so Anyway, aren't you glad you live in Southern, California? The rest of the country is freezing, but we're doing great in fact Yeah, I mean didn't we have the coldest day of the year this morning and it didn't even didn't even see any frost I mean jeez what a bunch of whims you are here. Okay Let me dive into this We're gonna get you into the book of Isaiah today I got a little introduction prepared for you, but several of you asked me a couple weeks ago Could you please show us all the photos that have been taken for shows both the moon and the earth and Your Tim you're talking about how Viking was the first one to do it Voyager pardon me Voyager, right? this is the Voyager photo that's it and shows the moon and the earth together and This one as probably I think this is my favorite. This is one from the Chinese space agency and Shows you the earth up there and the moon to the bottom. Yeah, that's easier. You turn the lights out And so they went just past the moon and took that shot and the one I showed you last week was this one with the oscisaurus Spacecraft that's on its way to mine The mine samples from an asteroid shows you the earth and the moon and as I mentioned last week They had to brighten up the image of the moon quite a bit because the albedo of the moon is actually only about 8% Only 8% of the light that hits the moon actually gets reflected away So it's very dark compared to the earth, but they brighten it up so that you could see it and as I mentioned last week the Actual distance between the earth and the moon is 30 moon diameters So yeah, it's a lot more farther apart than what you see and that shot there Okay, I'm gonna talk to you about a scientific discovery. I got a blog article coming on it So if you're a follower of reasons.org you will see this But what's been happening of late is that you've got two groups of people Atheists and young earth creationists who actually agree on something. They agree that the Big Bang model is wrong for completely different reasons The young earthers don't like Big Bang cosmology because it makes the universe way too young Atheists don't like it because it makes it. Pardon me way too old. Atheists don't like it as it makes it way too young and so The fact that it's 14 billion years Is a problem for both certain Atheists and young earth creationists and kind of the heart of this in the last year As they've been saying well The Big Bang model only works the Big Bang creation model only works if you've got about five or six times more Dark matter than you do baronic matter. You say what's the difference? I used to refer to as ordinary matter an exotic matter But the terminologies change in the astronomical literature So they call a baronic matter which mostly people have no clue what that means and then dark matter Okay, baronic matter refers to all the matter that's made up of protons neutrons and electrons So that includes everything we're used to which is why you used to call ordinary matter so our suns made up of that the earth is made up of that your body is made up of that and the dark matter what they used to call exotic matter and That's matter. That's made up of particles that are different from protons neutrons and electrons and that they do not interact Very well with photons. That's the property of the matter. We're used to it strongly interacts with light But there's a whole bunch of particles out there that don't interact with light at all Or they interact very weakly with light. So for example there are neutrinos Which would be part of this dark matter. They do not interact well with light and Because they don't interact well with light you literally got trions and neutrinos flowing through your body all the time And it doesn't do you any harm at all because they simply can't interact With a photon so it doesn't do you any damage and then incidentally you have Literally quintillions of neutrinos flowing through the earth and they never hit anything Now Neutrinos are different. They weakly interact with photons So every once in a while you'll get an interaction, which is why they build these neutrino tech detectors 2,000 feet underground Where they get to shield everything from cosmic radiation and they just surround their huge vats of the fluid with Photometers and they look for those rare instances where a neutrino will weakly interact with light and they pick up the signal So when that means we've been able to determine that the Sun is pouring out Huge quantities of neutrinos from its nuclear furnace That's one reason why we can be confident that the Sun is actually burning through nuclear fusion We see the neutrinos and the fusion reactor reaction is really the only possible source of those Neutrinos, I'll tell you what's interesting though the neutrinos we get from the Sun's furnace We get them within eight minutes after they're made inside the solar furnace It takes a hundred thousand years for the photons that are generated in the nuclear furnace to reach us here on earth And so what's really interesting is neutrinos tells what's going on in the Sun right now The photons tells what's going on in the Sun a hundred thousand years ago the center of the Sun Okay, so you have the photons when the surface of the Sun get to us in eight and a quarter minutes The photons that are generated in the furnace in the Sun which is very center of the Sun takes a hundred thousand years To travel from the very center of the Sun to get to the surface where they're admitted and get to us But because the neutrinos didn't don't interact well with photons. They just zip right through the Sun and So we get them literally within just eight minutes Photons takes a long time and that was how By the way off the subject I was going to talk about but that's how Astronomers know that we've been an extremely stable luminosity phase For the past fifty thousand years It's because of the neutrinos coming out of the Sun allows to determine what the photon production was 100,000 years ago and based on that we know the Sun has entered into an exceptional phase of its history Because for most of the Sun's history we didn't have this stability. We have it now We discovered that through neutrinos, but neutrinos are really the only exotic matter particles we found and We know that it's not enough to save the big bang model The big bang model would be in real deep trouble if the only Exotic matter or dark matter we knew about were neutrinos But you know what big bang cosmologists said well these other particles are going to be harder to detect the neutrinos Look how hard it is to find a neutrino These other particles are going to be even more difficult to find and that's why we haven't found them and The big bang model is not in trouble, but the skeptics have said this All you got is indirect evidence for this matter You don't have any direct evidence for this matter Until a couple weeks ago Okay, but first of all I want to share with you the indirect evidence is More than adequate to establish we have enough dark matter in the universe to fit the predictions of big bang cosmology as because whether it's ordinary matter or exotic matter it will exert a gravitational influence and So neutrinos are they have a very tiny mass But they behave just like every other massive particle. They're subject to the law of gravity and you'll law of gravity Massive bodies attract one another and so if you've got lots of this dark matter out there It's going to exert a gravitational influence Now the one I found you know, I've been speaking about this with Younger creation So what I found that to be most effective in persuading people. Yes, there really is About five and a quarter times more Dark matter than there is ordinary matter is by looking at gravitational lenses You say what's a gravitational lens? Well, here's a photo of a gravitational lens We could turn the light off again What you see here is a foreground galaxy so there's a giant red galaxy in the foreground and directly behind it is a blue galaxy and Because of the gravitational influence of this red galaxy It has bent the light of the blue galaxy behind it and is for what we call an Einstein ring Because if you remember anything from your physics class Einstein's theory of general relativity Tells us that a massive body will bend a beam of beam of light that passes close to it And so that's what's happened here is that the light radiated by the blue galaxy has been bent by the gravity of the Red galaxy here, but we can calculate the amount of ordinary matter in this red galaxy Just by looking at all the stars and the gas that's there that tells us how much Baronic matter is in this galaxy But it's not enough to explain this Einstein ring in order to explain the dimensions of this Einstein ring we need a little more than five times as much matter as what we can actually see in the stars and the gas of this particular galaxy However people have said well, that's an indirect method, but it is a persuasive method telling us there's got to be more mass Bending that light then what we can see in the protons neutrons and electrons And so you kind of do the math this is the total amount of mass We subtract off the mass of baronic matter the rest has got to be This exotic matter which has a property that doesn't interact well with light You say well, it couldn't be some other kind of matter. Well, wait a minute. We just figured it out One kind of matter strongly interacts with light the definition of this dark matter slash exotic matter It does not interact strongly with light and so all that Extra mass has got to be this dark matter. Okay, that's one method Here's another method is to look at a cluster of galaxies This is in the news just this past few days Because NASA just released this image and this is not the highest resolution image It actually reads one with 7,000 by 3,000 pixels. So you want to go online you can see it But of all the objects to see in here only to our stars You can recognize the stars because they have these spiky patterns on it Everything else is a galaxy And so you just see just thousands of galaxies in this one and this is actually a galaxy cluster Oh, here's another star down here three stars. Sorry Four stars. I see one over here, too But everything else is a galaxy and what's amazing is this is a cluster of galaxies 7 billion light years away and You know as the universe gets older and older These galaxy clusters get bigger because they merge But this ranks as the biggest galaxy cluster at that distance Literally Like 10,000 galaxy members in it But what is brand new is that astronomers even though this is because we got powerful telescopes today We can look at these individual galaxies and determine their motion The spectrum will tell you how fast it's moving And so they've done this with thousands of these galaxies and by looking at the motions that they exert Because what's causing these galaxies to move relative to one another is gravity and So again is similar to the gravitational lens They look at the movements of these galaxies relative to one another and they can determine Where the ordinary matter is the baronic matter is and then they realize there's got to be a whole lot more matter involved And actually to give you the details of this These are actually two giant galaxy clusters and in a process of merging and becoming a super galaxy cluster And so actually can see two different concentrations So what I'm going to show you the next slide is the same galaxy cluster But with an overlay or based on the movements of the galaxies relative to one another That blue stuff you see there shows you the position and the concentration So the more intense the color the greater the concentration But everything blue here is the dark matter the exotic matter component not the ordinary matter component So you can actually see how they determine. Yes, it's two clusters coming together Because the exotic matter actually plays a much bigger role in this then The baronic matter that we see here and so this is one way we had reasons to believe and others have been saying The Big Bang model does not in trouble matter of fact We see exactly the amount of exotic matter that the Big Bang model would predict and it's an actually a great success of Big Bang cosmology that it has correctly predicted the existence of this exotic matter and has actually predicted the quantity and it's exactly what we see and Gravitational lenses as well as in the velocity movements of these individual galaxies in the cluster. Yeah, Tim Yeah, it's a series of calculations basically they looked at the velocities of these galaxies relative to one another Figured out how much of it is due to baronic matter the rest of it's got to be due to this exotic dark matter and then they wound up making a map as a result now The brighter areas mean you got more of the exotic matter there And this is how they were able to demonstrate the fact it was the mapping of the exotic matter It was able to persuade astronomers These are two giant galaxy clusters and they're a process of merging to one another because you actually see to In fact if I were to go back one slide It's rather challenging to look at the ordinary chemistry to senior here You're seeing the ordinary matter a baronic matter It's a bit challenging to look at that and say wow these are two galaxy clusters in the process of merging together It's not that obvious, but when you look at this one it becomes quite clear Yeah, look at those concentrations and yeah This is clearly in the process of merging to become a big galaxy cluster and incidentally this provides an independent Demonstration that the Big Bang creation model is correct because it is showing us as we look farther back in time Farther way hence farther back in time the galaxy clusters are smaller and They're in the process of merging together to become bigger galaxy clusters And so looking seven billion light years away and seven billion years back in the past We're actually seeing that that is taking place. Yes Okay exotic dark matter as matter made up of particles or the particles unlike Protons neutrons and electrons do not interact with photons They either don't interact at all or the interact at a very weak level like the neutrinos do and There was a time we thought neutrinos is the answer But we know what the quantity of neutrinos are in the universe and it's way too small to account for what we're seeing here Well Okay, the reason why you get critics of Big Bang cosmology is because the only Exotic dark matter particles we've detected are neutrinos And we know that's not enough to account for and they're basically saying because you failed to detect these other particles Or you have no basis for being confident in Big Bang cosmology and The pushback is this well given that they interact so weakly with the photons They're not going to be detectable by the instrumentation we have now But this tells us that they must exist and they've got speculations I can tell you the most favored candidate for what they think is the dominant component of exotic dark matter would be axioms But there's a total of 38 different candidate particles that they've been able to develop just by looking at particle physics And so theoreticians have been looking at the 56 fundamental particles We know exists and say okay in order to make everything fit What kind of exotic dark matter particles do we need so they've talked about neutrinos they've talked about axioms sterile neutrinos in One of my books, I think it's the creator of the cosmos Actually give you a list of all the speculated particles, but they're speculated however Astronomers are quite close to actually coming over the positive protection of axioms And right now it looks like axioms probably are the dominant component But they've not yet been detected in a way well the one paper I've seen said we have a signal of axioms Where the signal is three and a half times above the noise? But that's not enough to win you the Nobel Prize The minimum standard in astronomy and physics you can't claim a detection until the signal is more than five times above the noise We're not there yet. Okay. Yes, Gary Okay, what they're saying is a general relativity does not explain that all the dynamics of the universe So we were to go back to this thing here They would say some other kind of physics explains that it's not dark matter And so they come up with things like a mom which is called modified Newtonian dynamics And I'm trying to say this is the alternative to general relativity And then they got other ways of trying to make everything fit Well, yeah, there's lots of papers published on this but that's a fairly active field of publication right now Looking at general relativity and Big Bang cosmology and the alternatives But what Big Bang cosmology and general relativity got going for it? observations These other things are speculations Although there are papers published where they said we think we can get a more accurate picture of the Spiral structure of spiral galaxies looking the dynamics of the distance spiral arms than you can with general relativity And I have wrote a blog article on this so almost a year ago Where I made the point they've now done more detailed observations and basically turn it the other way around Yeah, you can make the mod model work for those Distance spiral arms on big spiral galaxies, but actually general relativity gives you an even better Explanation standard Newtonian dynamics They hope they can come up with something else and if my main critique of the modified Newtonian dynamics Yeah, they've been able to find one area in astrophysics where they get just as good a fit As you would get with standard Newtonian dynamics and general relativity, but it's the only place Everywhere else things are distorted But they're saying hey, we think we get a better fit here And they're using that to kind of overturn the whole paradigm and keep in mind a lot of this is theologically motivated I mean the Bible predicted Big Bang cosmology thousands of years ago We're gonna see that as we go into the book of Isaiah the book of Isaiah says more about Big Bang cosmology than any of the book ever written until the 20th century and So that explains why in the early part of the 20th century Astronomers were not Christians were very opposed to the Big Bang Basically because they recognized that if they accept the Big Bang is basically saying the Bible got it right The Christians got it right What the Bible says about the universe is correct and they're saying we can't have that and the other thing was it made universe way too young in order to sustain biological evolution the idea that life originated and Evolved without any divine intervention. They said hey, we're only talking billions of years isn't gonna work And that's why I said earlier you got two groups that don't like the Big Bang One group doesn't like it because it makes the universe too young another group doesn't like it because it makes the universe too old And they've been basically saying and incidentally it's not just dark matter a lot of them going after dark energy Saying dark energy is wrong dark matter is wrong and on both cases We've got this kind of indirect evidence That dark energy makes up nearly three-quarters of the stuff of the universe But we have yet to determine exactly what's responsible for that dark energy Cosmological constant of Albert Einstein's the favorite explanation, but we don't yet have proof There are other explanations out there same thing with the exotic matter is that we got this strong indirect evidence But we haven't yet detected the particles and measured the quantity of particles as I said earlier until a couple weeks ago It looks like we're getting close and what happened is yes Okay as far as the axioms go It's based on the assumption that yes, although these exotic dark matter particles don't interact with light they will decay and There's speculations about the decay time and so we don't know that but for example if you get an exotic dark matter Decaying it's possible in the decay process. It'll interact with photons which case you get to see it and so and that's kind of what's happening in the Discovery that was announced in physical review D just literally days ago as I said we think we're seeing the decay signal so however There again We don't have anything that's distinctive saying this is the particle This is the decay rate They're still working this out, but again the bottom line is why be so skeptical when we realize just how extremely Challenging these observations are but I'll tell you where they made that publication of a single noise ratio of three and a half They were looking at a white dwarf binary star And looking at the rate at which it's cooling and they said it's cooling too fast and Therefore there's extra cooling and they said we think the extra cooling is result of axion decay and Therefore they published a paper saying we see excess cooling and But the civil noise ratio was just three and a half but the reason why they the paper got published even though they didn't have the Demanded civil noise ratio. They basically said all we looked at was one white dwarf binary What if we look at hundreds of look at hundreds of them we can drive the civil noise ratio Way up and they're basically saying announcing to the asteroid community. This is a worthwhile project to undertake Yeah, I mean, it's actually underway now. Nothing's been published since but hey the paper was just published a little less than a year ago Saying hey, we think we're seeing the signal of axion decay and his white dwarf binary Well, there's hundreds of white dwarf binaries out there So we simply devote the observing time to it We'll be able to figure out whether this is really right or wrong and it was fun about the astronomers engaged in this saying The large hadron collider people are trying to find axions over there in Switzerland and France We think we can do it for point zero zero zero one percent of the money they're gonna have to spend the due to the large Because observing white dwarf binaries, I mean, they're relatively bright object You don't need big telescopes and so it simply requires a lot of astronomer observing time But astronomers aren't paid that well, so it's a lot cheaper than what they're trying to do there However, I'm all in favor guys of the particle physicists of the large hadron collider Because their efforts of trying to detect axions are trying to measure very different properties at the axions and what the astronomers are going after in These white dwarf binaries So yeah, we need to do both and that's I think was so exciting today for the first time in the history of humanity Particle physics and astrophysics is studying the same subject. Isn't that amazing you got businesses We're looking at the smallest things we can ever conceive of and you got businesses looking at the biggest things We can possibly conceive of and they're studying the same subject I mean, what an amazing time to be alive. Okay Theory of everything well theory of some things. Okay, go ahead I have a question It seems like what you're saying is that there is considerable bias in the scientific community Where they want the universe to turn out to be static or eternal, right? There's some of that and I want to make this clear, but it's pretty objective No, it's a very tiny minority Okay, the evidence for big bang cosmology is so overwhelming That you only got a handful of skeptics left Okay, so just because I was strong the observational evidence is Okay, so that was my comment from a late person And just to go back a little bit when you were showing on the slide of the the two galaxies combining If I heard You and Tim correctly The blue right there. It's not actually the light. It's actually like some kind of Digital manipulation just to show the dark Matter is yeah, it's basically strong over saying No, there's no light. There's nothing blue coming out of that at all. Yeah, I just overlaid then said this is actually a Calculated map of the position and the quantity of the exotic matter Just to show people where it is So but yeah, it doesn't actually emit any light at all Okay, let me move on to the actual discovery And it was looking at the Perseus cluster of galaxies No, the Perseus cluster is much closer than this one So like here's a slide of the Perseus cluster of galaxy. This is basically just the central part of it But what's interesting about this Perseus cluster of galaxies, maybe we could turn the light out again is that The core of this cluster of galaxies has giant galaxies That are highly active What I mean by highly active. This is the most active one right here. You can just see all kinds of stuff Going on there Is that there's these super giant black holes? at the core and Every large galaxy has a big black hole at its core But in this particular cluster of galaxies, we have Black holes of the cores of the larger galaxies That are coming in at close to a billion times the mass of the sun And to put it in comparison The supermass of black hole that's at the center of our galaxy It only has three million times the mass of our star sun So we're looking at much bigger black holes and when you got bigger black holes Their gravity is stronger and they wind up sucking stuff into it And what happens with a black hole when it's sucking ordinary matter towards it? It's basically converting that matter into energy E equals mc squared And where we see the greatest efficiency is right next to a black hole when a black hole Is basically tearing matter apart and drawing it inside And causing it to move at a high velocity How you actually get a conversion rate Of the matter to energy. That's a little bit above 10 And to put that in context The nuclear furnace at the core of our sun Converts matter into energy at 0.07% efficiency And hey, look how bright the sun is and it burns for, you know, nine billion years But this is far more intense than that And so what a team of astronomers did Is they looked at these bigger galaxies in the Perseus cluster And they detected a particular Line of x-ray radiation The 3.5 kiloelectron volt X-ray line and they saw it consistently in the bigger galaxies And they observed it with three different x-ray telescopes Now these telescopes of course have to be outside of the earth And so they're orbiting the earth because our atmosphere literally blocks it all the x-rays But we now have three big x-ray telescopes orbiting the earth And they observed these galaxies with all three because each of the three has a slightly different design So it's sensitive to different parts of the x-ray emission from these galaxies But the paper they published in physical review d basically makes the point The only way we can explain the radiation That we're seeing at this 3 kiloelectron volts x-ray emission is if these galaxies the What they call the nucleus of the galaxy where the black hole is converting stars and gas into pure energy If that's happening in such a way That you're getting Emission from exotic matter at a very weak level And it's being absorbed by in words. What's happening is you've got this radiation being emitted From the cores of these giant galaxies And the exotic matter is absorbing that radiation And re-emitting it at a different wavelength They said every other explanation doesn't work That the only explanation that's consistent with everything we see Is if there's this absorption Taking place by exotic matter and re-emission Now this is the closest astronomers have gotten to making a direct detection of exotic matter Based on the Perseus cluster and the five astronomers have published has basically said hey This is probably the easiest place to do the work, but we can do it on other clusters of galaxies We can do it on galaxies that are closer to us Basically, we're saying the test of this is Any large active galaxy what they mean by an active galaxy where there's a super giant black hole That is sucking ordinary matter into it where we get this very efficient conversion of matter to energy They said if what we're doing is on target, we're going to see the same impact in galaxies literally around the universe And they said we've got it started here This is something that should be relatively straightforward to confirm. All you need is lots of telescope time But they basically need telescope time on these three Orbiting let's say it's a chandra spacecraft the atomi spacecraft by the japanese And the third one is by the british the newton telescope And so they're basically saying Let's get more time on these telescopes and look at more of these giant active galaxies And see if we can nail this down and part of the motivation is this If we can actually not only determine that there's absorption and re-emission But measure exactly how much absorption re-emissions going on We might be able to nail down exactly what kind of exotic dark matter particle is responsible for this And the paper they published has said we don't have good enough data to establish that but hey, let's get started so Yes So Some speculated exotic dark matter particles like sterile neutrinos Don't interact with photons at all Which means the only way you're going to detect them is by the gravitational influence Neutrinos not the sterile kind but the kind like the tau neutrino It interacts with photons very weakly Which means you need a really expensive detector deep underground to have any hope and you've got to wait years to get enough Detections to actually say hey, we see what's going on And so what they're saying is we're finding that kind of exotic matter The kind that interacts with radiation weakly Which is why they needed such a powerful source of photons to start with And so that was kind of what they were doing is saying let's look for that region of the universe Where we see the most intense concentration of photon emission Because of there's exotic matter there that's interacting weakly with photons It's going to be easier to see there than other places of the universe So that's why they picked on these Really big galaxies with these super giant black holes that are sucking in ordinary matter because it said if it's weakly interacting That's our best shot of finding it and they basically announced in physical review d. We saw it So that that's that's the discovery Okay Yes The light comes in it's electromagnetic radiation And it's bent Yes It's bent The force for bending it is the gravitation Right the gravity is what forces the bend So that's essentially gravitons That's bending that light way Yeah, but we're not going to detect the gravitons Well, that's that's what I'm trying to get at is is um That become We have the bending of the bending of the photon ray By the gravitation or by gravity which we think is I mean Our best maybe only explanation is that the gravitational forces do the gravitation Well, basically what's happening here is it doesn't matter what kind of mass is responsible for it. It will bend the light Whether it's ordinary matter or exotic matter is going to bend the light the same way All you need to know is the quantity of mass And so that's what they basically did here They looked at the degree of bending we see here in this Einstein ring and said we now know the total amount of matter That's responsible for bending this light and we know that the ordinary matter is not enough to account for it There's got to be this exotic matter and it's got to be at least five times more abundant than the ordinary matters To explain this ring that we see Now this is one example astronomers now actually have Almost a hundred different examples Of a gravitational bending like this And also we've been be able to detect planets In fact one paper got published where they found a planet in the Andromeda galaxy by using gravitational lenses Only in that case what they're doing is they're actually using a star The gravity the star bends the light of a planet that's directly behind it That only works if it's exactly in the line of sight you can tell this wasn't exactly in the line of sight but really close If it's exactly in the line of sight you would get a complete circle And this is this is the best Einstein ring yet image because you've got like 90 percent Of the ring present, but if it's exactly behind you would get a hundred percent You see what happens if it's like less than that? Well, there are times where they see what it's called an einstein cross We basically get one patch of light here a patch of light here one here and one here That's because it's not quite exactly in the line of sight Or he might just get an arc part of an arc And so i'm showing you the best example But we have dozens of other examples where you see part Of the einstein ring rather than almost all of it like you do here And notice you can actually determine what that blue galaxy looks like We know that it must be a young galaxy Because it's dominated by blue stars rather than the old red stars that you see in this galaxy And you can see that hey, it's a galaxy that must have really prominent spiral arms Because you can actually see some of this structure here So it's amazing just looking at the ring how much you can learn about the galaxy that's directly behind it. Yes I know that this absorption and readmission that we're seeing comes in dark matter From something directors just that we have eliminated all possible sources of baryonic matter Yeah, you're exactly right what you see in the paper Is that they've eliminated any possible ordinary matter explanation For this signal that they're seeing Now this isn't the first time they've seen it They have seen an individual galaxy that made this paper prominent They looked at this cluster and every really big galaxy that's got a super giant black hole They saw the same signal and not just with one telescope. They saw it in all three telescopes And so this is why there's such excitement about this paper they're saying this really removes any doubt They're actually seeing the absorption of this electromagnetic radiation by exotic matter and its re-emission So and also it's basically saying we can do a whole lot more. So This is going to yeah All we need is observing time So and that's part of what goes on in astronomy By the way, papers like this give publish But the bottom line it's astronomers wanting more telescope time because after all it's not easy to get telescope time On one of these orbiting x-ray telescopes They're expensive to run and everybody's competing to get the time But I think they're going to get the time Because this is a groundbreaking discovery. So Within a few years like you're going to see a lot more confidence But I'm predicting this should really tamper or temper The objections to big bang cosmology from the future meaning skeptics Well What's interesting is I've been engaging young earth creations tin. They said hey If you think this is really on target show us the exotic dark matter now we can show them the exotic dark So and what I've noticed is That they are step by step being persuaded. I mean for example Danny Faulkner, who is a young earth astronomer Just published an article on the answers and jennison's website saying we got to stop denying exotic matter It says it's real And we got to stop denying this dark energy. It's real. They're just wrong on the other things But on that part they got it right Kind of humorous Well, I I was actually on a show a few years ago and what he told me is I'm old earth when it comes to the evidence. I'm young earth when it comes to my emotions So now maybe he's changed his position since but what he told me was I was led to the lord by young recreations I've got a strong emotional commitment to them I'm with them because they're the ones that brought me to the lord. They says Hugh I know the physical evidence is on the side of an old earth creationist And we haven't had a chance to talk about what about the biblical evidence And just to check I found that whenever I'm addressing a young earth audience I talked to him about the bible. I don't talk to him about the science Just take him through all the bible texts and show them Hey, if you want to read all 66 books consistently, it can't be done from a young earth perspective It's got to be done from the perspective of a day age Interpretation of the creation days and incidentally every young earth creation a scholar admits Admits that the word yulm has distinct literal definitions one of which include the long period of time Their whole point is while the plain reading of the text would be 24 hours But hey was the plain reading of the text when I was 17 that persuaded me they had to be long periods of time I mean what got me the first time we're putting up the book of genesis is There's no evening and morning for the seventh day And uh, there would be if the seventh day was finished, but there isn't There's no evening and morning. So the first six days are finished, but not the seventh day And hey, we keep reading into the bible Remember 66 books you're one of the psalm 95 john 5 and hebrus 4 Which all tell us we're still in god's seventh day And sometimes I share this when I give my personal story is that When I was 11 years of age 10 and a half or 11 My parents were really worried that I was being obsessive about physics and astronomy I mean, I guess as parents you would be too if your son came home every week From the library with five books on astronomy and physics and nothing else And so they said, you know, this this is getting a bit obsessive So even though our family was really poor They went out and bought this expensive thick book an evolution of biology And basically said hey to my sisters and you read this book My sisters didn't want to touch it But I read it my parents didn't read it, but I read it But I went to them and said mum dad the numbers don't add up They said, what do you mean? I said look at all the speciation that this book talks about before humanity But there's hardly any after humanity And I said, how do you answer that? I said, we don't have an answer go talk to your science teachers I talked to my science teachers and they said, we don't have an answer Go talk to those university professors that your friends with so I went to those you know You've been University of British Columbia professors and they said We don't have any idea When I picked up this book and read Genesis one It answered for me the fossil record enigma here I was Reading the Bible seriously the first time starting in page one looking at Genesis one God creates for six days. He stops creating on the seventh day I said that answers the fossil record enigma Something that bothered me since I was 11 now at age 17. I had an answer That's why we don't see hardly any speciation today. God has stopped creating new species of life Also explains There is speciation One got published literally just I was reading it yesterday Uh, I think it was in the journal science where they talked about how Yeah, it was Finches in the Galapagos island two different species of finches And they met one another and they began to breed And so there was a hybrid And then the hybrid species weren't too happy with the other two members And so they stopped reproducing with the others and they said that's a new species Well, it kind of reminds me what we do with dogs, right? Where you take two different breeds of dogs crossing together and you get a new breed of dog Keep in mind in the scientific literature My colleague puzzle rana Counted 16 distinct different definitions of a speciation event And so that's one example. I mean the journal actually said this is a proven speciation event But they and but they did put in the title of the paper hybridization species event So, yeah, it's basically micro evolution basically they're saying we were able to see Under natural process a hybrid species of finches form in the galapagos island Now it could revert that may not be a permanent species. It could revert. We'll see But yeah, same thing with the uh, you know darwin when he went to the galapagos island He observed those finches for five years. And what did he see? He saw that the beaks of some finches got longer over that five year period Others got shorter some got wider some got narrower And so he said if we just project that over time, we're going to get really distinct speciation events taking place Okay, what has happened since charles darwin? We've had ecologists go back to the galapagos islands and what they have observed is following Yes, the the beaks of the finches change with respect to time But they oscillate They don't just keep getting bigger and bigger They get bigger and they get smaller they get wider and they get narrower And it's all in response to the variation in the food supply on these different islands And likewise, you see that they did a study on the islands off of british columbia Where you've got daisies and daisies are kind of like dandelions They make these little parachutes for the seeds And they said hey, we're finding new species of daisies in british columbia Well again, it's an example of microevolution because what they discovered is When these little seeds fell on a small island Over time the daisies they're evolved where they were producing smaller parachutes than the Daisy seeds that landed on the big islands And you kind of figure that out. Hey, if it's got a big parachute It's going to blow off into the ocean and won't reproduce Ones with the small parachutes are going to stay in the island and they'll reproduce So yeah, literally over the space of just 20 years They saw what they claimed a new speciation event But again depends upon your definition of what a new speciation event is And keep in mind even the definition of a genus Is pretty fuzzy in the biological literature So i mean a friend of mine who's a fisheries expert up in alaska said You know here we studied all this stuff and we've overtaught that a genus is very concretely defined But he says notice that the steelhead trout Is now referred to as a salmon they moved it from one genus to another genus So even at the genus level the definitions vary quite a bit When i'm talking to scientifically literate people and i use the word guide they eat that They say that's not a part of taxonomy It's not part of taxonomy the taxonomy of the bible is different And even in the bible you've got some variation. So for example In the bible where it talks about the word kind the word min And reference the birds Very narrow definition. So you'll find two passages. I think it's exodus and deuterotomy um No, it's leviticus and deuterotomy That refers to six different kinds of owls. So it's basically identifying Six different owls as being distinct kinds But then there's another passage where it talks about four different kinds of flying insects There it's at the genus level not the species level So it's kind of making the indication that when god creates a kind He creates that kind with a lot more capacity For variations through adaptation when it's an insect as he does for say a bird So even a biblical perspective you've got to watch and keep in mind biology is complicated It's not like astrophysics. We're just dealing with ordinary matter and exotic matter And gravity, I mean You know, it's wonderful about the discipline i'm in everything obeys differential equations So huge speaking of speaking of matter. It's time to find a wrap up this matter I did hear two scientists this last week discovering that they discovered yet another kind of matter It interacts with nothing in the universe And it has no effect on the universe and they can't find any purpose or any reason for it And they decided to rename it to name it doesn't matter doesn't matter I heard that joke 40 years ago So Well, I got another story about galaxies far far away In fact, I wrote a blog article just a couple of weeks ago about How different the Andromeda galaxy is from a milky way galaxy And we refer to the Andromeda galaxies as sister galaxy, but in fact it's characteristics I'd already ruled out the possibility that advanced life could exist there There is no galaxy far far away And so I closed off my article for all the fans of star wars made the farce be with you But that I think it's time to close in prayer This is running downhill fast father in heaven Lord, we ask that you bless their time in the book of isiah I pray you give us time this week to actually get through this text and Lord, I pray too that you'd show us How we can rapidly pull content out of the book of isiah And lord, may we be blessed by what we read and study Thank you for the privilege of being alive in the 21st century We live at a time when we got scientists studying the realm of the extremely small and extremely large And they're actually working on the same problems Lord, you are a god that is consistently created Everything is harmonious It all testifies of you that heavens declare not only your glory They declare your righteousness and design it all to make it possible That we could be redeemed into eternal relationship with you Help us to spread that good news as we engage people throughout this week in jesus name. Amen


President Ilham Aliyev, Armenia is close to accepting five well-known principles for peace. Anti-terrorist measures were not planned by us. At least in November 2020, there was none. I can say that very clearly. President Ilham Aliyev expressed these views at the conference, Karabakh, returning home after 30 years, held at ADA University on December 6th, Achievements and Difficulties Forum, saying that the peace agreement to be signed between the two countries should be properly investigated by international experts, the head of state added, as a country that has seen more than 30 years of occupation, destruction of its territory, ethnic cleansing and suffering, we reached out to Armenia, not international mediators, noting that the principles of the peace agreement were drawn up and sent to Armenia, but there was still silence. President Ilham Aliyev said, then five well-known principles were announced. Now it seems that Armenia is close to accepting them. They can take it as a base. If they had done this a few years ago, of course, there would have been no need for an anti-terrorist operation. This is history and it shows that it was Azerbaijan, not Armenia, that promoted peace. Five basic principles for the normalization of relations between the two states follows. Mutual recognition by states of sovereignty, territorial integrity, inviolability of their international borders and political independence of each other. Mutual confirmation of the absence of territorial claims of states to each to each other and the adoption of a legal obligation that such a claim will not be brought in the future. Refrain from threatening each other's security in interstate relations, use of threats and force against political independence and territorial integrity, as well as other circumstances that do not comply with the purposes of the UN Charter. Delimination and demarcation of the state border, establishment of diplomatic relations, opening transport and communications, building other relevant communications and establishing cooperation in other areas of mutual interest.


All right, it is four o'clock, and I will call the city plan commission meeting to order if you're able would you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance? Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all alright, oh I should call the roll first Dave John Jerry mayors here Maryland Ryan Alright, and then Alder Mitchell is excused Is there a motion to approve the minutes from our last meeting? Is there a motion in? There was a motion in second any discussion Seeing none all those in favor of approving the minutes from our last meeting, please state aye Any opposition chair votes aye minutes are approved right first is item number six public hearing regarding the proposed amendments for boundary and project plan for tax incremental district 16 Anyone wishing to be heard? Anyone wishing to be heard? Anyone wishing to be heard seeing none will close The public hearing is there motion to close the public hearing Motion second all those in favor, please state aye Any opposition chair votes aye? Public hearing is closed Next item number seven consideration and possible action of the resolution that designation proposed amendment boundaries and improving the project plan amendment for tax incremental district 16 Jen Thank You chair, so this is a document to do a territory amendment for tiff number 16 so tiff 16 goes primarily from Wisconsin Avenue or the library down to the a street bridge and it's along a street so the the plan before you is to Do a tip a territory amendment to tit 16 to bring in the parcel of the shabuagan press building? And only the shabuagan press building and in order to allow the city to provide Development incentives for that project so this body has approved previously the construction drawings for the renovation of the former shabuagan press building into 27 29 30 workforce housing units somewhere between 25 and 30 every document has a different number, but Basically to convert that as a historic preservation project into 25 to 30 housing units that would Qualify under the city's affordable housing plan requirements based on the rents that they're proposing to charge so the plan is to amend the district and bring that into the district and then be able to provide cardinal capital Who's the developer with developer incentives? Phil coston is here from Ellers and the city had contracted with Ellers and Associates to do the Project plan and Phil will be able to run through more details about the financials of the deal Phil take it away great. Thank you Phil coston with Ellers nice to be with you tonight this afternoon. I'm sorry. I'm used to night meetings As Chad indicated I'll just give a brief summary since he did a good job kind of outlining what the purpose here is But in the project plan on a few things I want to point out and I'll talk a little bit about the financials of the tax increment district as well I think you had up on page 8 was the the boundaries that showed the Old shabuagan press a building being added. It's the only Parcel identified and read as you can see there This district was as Chad said originally created in 2015 is a mixed use tax increment district Meaning at the maximum life of this district is 20 years This amendment doesn't change the life of the district and it doesn't change the expenditure period Which is 15 years of the district as well. So this is really a relatively simple amendment to bring in this parcel as Chad indicated to Provide incentives to cardinal capital to be able to renovate and reuse this this building On page 4 of our project plan section 1 Is actually an executive summary. I've kind of pulled in some of the sections from the original project plan So you understand what the original purpose of tid 16 was? The expenditure again that's being added as 500,000 The agreement as I understand it at this point Is up to $500,000 that could be provided through an MRO a municipal revenue obligation Which is a fancy way of saying they build it they pay taxes on it and they get part of that reimbursed back So the city is not borrowing the money up front rather Reimbursing back out of the increased value that is being received by this redevelopment What they have identified at this point and what we have in our plan is 29 workforce housing units That can vary I'm sure and an investment of up to 4.7 million dollars At this site so pretty substantial investment We do as part of a project plan always include cash flows Understanding that you know this district is only about seven years in so there's time yet for both Costs that could be incurred and development that can be realized But the project plan that we have identified right now if you go it again and show on page 26 in the plan We've identified this development kind of highlighted in yellow That's the expenditure what we're showing is really the five-year period that they will be reimbursed back Over time as the agreement currently reads And you can see that Cumulatively while this district is in a negative We do show that it's going to flip over do this development other development has been realized And by 2031 Enough revenue be generated to close out the district up to five years early now again There's time yet for expenditures and other development or redevelopment to occur in the area As well so from an amendment standpoint this is pretty simple. It's one parcel. It's a redevelopment We have a developer lined up and developers Close to a development agreement I understand And no upfront incentive by the city which is really important. This is This is a a way to kind of shift the risk to the developer Using this mechanism of financing So with that happy to answer any questions that you have Jen Just one of the issue the reason for the TIF incentive need is historic preservation So you'll recall when you approve the drawings They were doing a facade renovation and bringing back the original windows in the building And that's really where a lot of the cost Differentials coming from because doing historic renovations to typically cost more than just standard Renovations so that's where the gap in their performer came from and under our TIF policy that is an eligible activity anyone Jerry I'd make a motion to approve as presented Motion and second good plan. Yes Any other discussion contributions seeing none all those in favor, please stay time The opposition chair votes aye that item is approved. All right. Thank you. Thanks Phil. I'll see you at the next meeting All right item number eight our number 10 22 23 by the capital improvements commission to whom was referred our number One 22 23 by administrator Todd Wolfe submitting capital improvements program requests for the years 23 to 20 27 Jen so I'll start out and then I know that City administrator Wolfe and Carrie Aaron's are here from the city administrator's office if there is any specific specific questions on this but This these projects in the capital improvements program have gone through two meetings of the capital improvements commission and was recommended out of the commission for the award for the 2023 projects that are identified in the spreadsheet that was attached and the Standard procedure under state statute is that it has to go to the planning commission in order to be adopted So that's why it's coming this way Jerry is the member that sits on the capital improvements commission with the mayor and if you have any questions I'm sure those two would be happy to answer them. Otherwise, we would be looking forward to a recommendation to approve the plan as submitted in a favorable recommendation back to the council Minister to Wolf additional comments questions concerns Thank You chair I Basically what I would like to you know ask the committee is that you would you would pass it in a positive Fashion it is obviously the 2023 CIP We are going to be looking at at future CIPs of taking it out from not just from five years But to ten years so that the the committee the commission capital improvements The planning the group can also understand it from what are we looking at for long-term future projects? So this was approved anonymously If I recall correctly and it is it fits within our budget for spending Thank you Comments questions motions from commissioners Motion second final thoughts Seeing none all those in favor, please state. Hi. I am opposed chair votes. I that is approved Next meeting June 14th.  I 411 we're adjourned


Today, I want to talk about the real estate market. Are we going to go down another 50%? What is the outlook here? What are institutional buyers doing right now? How does that play into our businesses as real estate agents and real estate investors or even the everyday home buyer and seller? This is what I want to dive into today. And I want to start with, all right, so investors buying. OK, I want to start with this. Just to talk about this briefly, investor buyers are buying roughly half as many homes as they were a year ago. So this is your open doors. This is your redfin. This is your institutional buyers, your Blackstones, right? Investor home purchases fell 46% year over year in the fourth quarter. Investors bought 18% of homes that sold. That's down from 19% a year earlier. OK, the pandemic boom towns Las Vegas and Phoenix saw investor purchases fall over 60% more than all other markets, of course. Investors pull back from single-family homes more than condos, townhomes, and high-price properties, more than low-price properties. So they're buying lower-price properties, and they're more buying condos, townhomes, stuff like that. There's some other interesting data points in here that I was going to share with you. This is a nice chart going back to 2002, which shows the year over year investor home purchases, right? The percentage is year over year, and you can see we're right there a little lower than back in the 2006 range right there. And you see here in 2021, and so it spiked more than ever, OK? And one of the things that a lot of people talk about is the ease for these investors and big institutional buyers to be able to go out there and raise money. They raised $30-something billion like the first half of last year, and they've raised basically 20% of that on the last three quarters. It makes a lot of sense. People are, you know, there's uncertainty in the real estate market, and I feel like we still have uncertainty to go. See, here's what we know, right? With real estate, we want to think about two things, OK? As we move forward, and we're thinking about buying, maybe as an investor, maybe we're buying multifamily, you know, or even if you're trying to time the market out for the just perfect moment to buy, right now I feel like, OK, for the next six months, I don't know if prices are going to stay the same. I don't know if they're going to go up. I don't know if they're going to go down. I don't know for certain, OK? That's the definition of uncertainty. And so, right now, that's the state of the market. Now, as the market finds the floor of prices, and things improve, and then we see that continue, and we know that it's not a false run, a false rally, then we feel very certain about this 2% to 4% appreciation until the next recessionary period. And then we'll be back into a more certain market where we know what's going to happen. I think a lot of investors, and there's more liquidity, there's more cash on the sidelines than we've ever seen from investors, because everybody's sitting back saying, OK, what's going to happen? I don't want to jump in now when things go down. I would love to buy as things are appreciating. And as we see investors pulling back from the market, you know, over 60% in Las Vegas, 46% throughout the country. As we see this happen, in my mind, I'm thinking, OK, you guys, the investors, the big institutional buyers, you went in and you bought all the way into the overinflated market and you were still buying into the overinflated market. And now, as you pull back, I feel like that's lagged. I feel like the smarter investor, you know, may have pulled back beforehand, OK, beforehand. But what are they going to do now? They're going to overcompensate moving forward. They're going to wait too long. They're going to miss the bottom. But that's OK, because when they buy after the floor hits and it's on the upswing, then it's appreciating the day that they buy it instead of possibly depreciating. So it's actually smart in reverse. But here's what I want you to pay attention to. When you see articles, you know, later in the year or next year, and you start to see an uptick in investor and institutional buying, that's when you're going to work. That's going to be a nice signal that we have hit bottom and we're coming back up in terms of prices. But this moment in history is so different from 2005 to 2008. If you think about 2005 to 2008, you know, that's when housing started to come down in the late 2005. Actually, my market locally, it was early 2005 when things really hit a wall. And that downtrend happened for six years or so into 2011, 2012 was the first year. The end of 2012 was the first year we started to see that rebound and prices hit that floor. That happened over a course of five, six, seven years that we saw that slow downtrend that just felt like it would never end. Meanwhile, in today's current, you know, I don't want to call it a recession because that's a debatable situation. But the, you know, price swing, we're down 20% of some markets price-wise. Florida hasn't gotten hit as hard in terms of prices. There's plenty of markets that are already negative year over year right now as we speak. Nationally, we're not there yet. There's markets that we may not see year over year negative prices. But this has happened so fast, right? What took back then six years to happen has literally happened within less than a year. And so there's an argument out there that maybe because things have crashed, not crashed, I don't want to say crashed, it's not crashed. Maybe because things have downtrended, this down cycle has happened so fast that we're going to have a pretty quick recovery as well. But, you know, we don't know that. The differences are many differences. Back in the day, you know, I was actually walking into banks signing pieces of paper saying I made a million dollars, which I did, but they never checked it. They literally just wrote me a check for whatever the loan I want. Why? Because they called their buddy appraiser, they literally called their friend to go appraise the property, whatever price the banker told them to appraise it at. It was crazy thinking back to how that was. Today, we're on such a solid foundation of the third-party appraisal process, you know, the restrictions of lending and the whole process. Now, not to mention back then, the average credit score was 670, and right now the average credit score for someone with a mortgage is 770, 100-point jump. This is a very quality market. And I'm so happy, and I was happy when they did this. I'm so happy that they turned everything around to regulate so much in this area, because I knew that, because I went through it and I lost everything. I knew that that would protect us the next time we saw a market cycle like that. And although this market cycle is nothing like 2008, it's still, there's this layer of protection with the way that they have orchestrated the process and mortgages. And so we're just on such a better foundation right now. Something that is kind of concerning, and I think there's a couple of things holding prices up higher than maybe they should be. And only time is gonna tell if we're gonna hit that extra leg down. But I think there's two things happening here. Number one is inventory, of course. There's just no inventory. Single family housing is down 20% as far as new construction goes, as far as new permits and new construction is down about 20% overall. And so the builders couldn't even keep up pre-pandemic or even during the boom, how can they keep up if they're down 20%? So, and I think I saw a stat, I believe it was 80% of mortgages are below 4.5% right now. People that have mortgages, we're not gonna see an influx of inventories. Inventory is a problem, but I think another, something else is holding prices up that nobody's talking about that's just underlying is these two-to-one buy downs. It's kind of artificial, right? If the seller's buying the rate down and the buyer says, okay, my payment's gonna be this much. Sure, I'll pay this price because my payment's gonna be this much. It kind of feels like that's artificially holding the market up a little bit. I was thinking about this the other day. So it's real interesting to think about. Now the difference is, in today's world, you have to get approved for that end mortgage rate. So if you get like a, if mortgage rates are 6% and you get a two-to-one buy down, right? And now you're gonna walk out of there with a 4% interest rate for the first year, you have to be approved for that 6% to be able to qualify for that loan. So that's a difference in, I think now in 2008 as well. Back then, you didn't have to get approved for the end mortgage rate. You could just get approved for the very first mortgage rate. So again, solid ground, just a few things that's kind of concerning me with that. Another, something else that's concerning me is rents, right? Rental market tracker here, rents, rows. Well, let me go back to the investors for a second. Let me show you some more, some more interesting charts here from Redfin. Let me move this over so I could get this. There we go. So investors bought half as many homes and Q4s they did earlier, okay? We talked about that and this shows you the chart going back to 2002. Here, this is the chart I wanted you to see. Let me try to zoom in a little bit. So investor purchases year over year changed. Las Vegas, 67%. That's crazy. Phoenix, 66%. Nassau County, New York, 63%. Atlanta, 62%. Charlotte, North Carolina, 61%. These are huge numbers of investors who are pulling out of the market and they're just sitting on the sidelines. They're building capital and they're waiting on that floor and then come back up. When you see the articles of investors coming back, but the cool thing for the regular everyday buyers and sellers is that we're not competing with the institutional buyers. Now if they decide they wanna liquidate, which we haven't seen that yet, if they decide they wanna liquidate, then that's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out and I will report on that to you as that happens, if in fact it does. But let's talk about rents for a second, okay? Rents have skyrocketed, as you guys know, okay? Rents rose 2% in January, the smallest increase in 20 months. So we're already seeing some concessions. We're already seeing rental concessions from landlords saying, hey, we'll pay for your first month. We'll give you the first month free or they're taking a little less. These concessions end up being far less on the yearly return for the investors and this could present a problem when it comes to investor buying, the buying on the cash flow of the properties and if rents start to come down, which it looks like they are trending that direction, then that could potentially cause another leg down with prices, all right? I believe that this is something that could affect prices. Rental price growth is slowing due to increased supply, okay? And waiting demand. There are 11 metro areas where rents are already falling with Phoenix and Oklahoma City seeing declines of more than 6%. It's already coming down in some markets. So something else to note is that single-family homes, or the new construction is down 20% right now, but for multifamily, it's up 9%, which means what? Which means that more supply, more rental supply, which is going to hurt the overall rental market when you throw more supply into the mix. Let's look at this chart, okay? This is a year-over-year growth in January. Not in January, this is, no, this is January. This is every year, this is through the year. January to January to January, this is the growth. So of course, last year we saw this massive. I mean, 17.5% year-over-year growth with rent is crazy. Now we're down to 2%. This is nationally, and we are already seeing markets that are starting to come down. Oklahoma City and Phoenix down 6%. January marked the eighth straight month in which annual rent growth slowed. So eight months of rent slowing. Rents fell 1.9% from a month earlier, and we're down 5.4% from the August peak. So it's been trending down since August. Look at this guys. This is something to really pay attention to when it comes to the market, because this could in fact, interest rates was, the big shock in the market that really reduced demand. Now the investors are really pulling out, and now we're seeing rent start to come down from the peak in August. And here's a chart of rent from 19, where it was like 1640, right? And it peaked out at $2053, and now we're at 1942, right? This is for the entire country. So interesting to look at this and think about the possibilities of what this could potentially do to the market. Here we go, Phoenix down 6%, Oklahoma down 6%, New Orleans five, Minneapolis five, Houston five, Baltimore 4.6, Birmingham, Alabama, Roll Tide 3.4%, Chicago down. So we're seeing this. We're seeing this. Now here's the rent increases. Let's see, what is this gonna be for? Let's see, Phoenix median price. Let's see, this is large increases, right? You still got some markets that are increasing, which is what's balancing this out to see that 2% increase year over year. So this is all and just incredibly interesting to look at this, think about this, and what's happening in the market overall. So I think what we're gonna see, I think what we're gonna see is a couple of things moving forward. I believe we're gonna find that pricing floor sometime this year, mid-year, third quarter, late second quarter. That's kind of my opinion. And we're gonna see yearly, year over year price negative. Housing prices go negative year over year nationally. We're already seeing that in some markets, but we're gonna see that on a national basis.  This is what everybody's arguing in the mortgage industry, that that May 10th is gonna show some incredible year over year numbers for inflation and really help that 30-year fixed situation out, the interest right there. And then we're also gonna see an increase in inventory. So, let's see what happened here. Let me expand this a bit. Let's see, let me expand this just a tad. All right, so this is new listings. Let me get to active listings, boom. Okay, so if you see here every single year, this is 2021, boom, it increased last year, 2022. It was lower when winter did into the year and then it started to take off. You see how it kind of takes off at the same time every year? And then it goes up pretty much the same time. And then around August every year, right here for the past couple of years, it downtrends. Let's look, let's bring 2020 into the mix. 2020 was the year of the actual shutdown for the pandemic in the beginning. So it's gonna look a little different. Doesn't look that much different. It kind of had that little hump right there where we added some listings there during the shutdown. And then it kind of leveled out and then it kind of took the same trajectory after that. So we're gonna see, it's already kind of leveling out. This blue line is 2023. We're gonna see active listings kind of bottom out here over the next 30 days and start to slowly climb up. Okay, just like we do every single year. So let me get back here, boom. So just think about what's happening right before our eyes. You've got some more than likely some favorable inflation numbers coming out in May. You've got inventory that's gonna start creeping up over the next 30 days and continue to creep up throughout the entire summer till August like it normally does. Then you've got rents starting to decrease just a tad. In certain markets anyway. So that's gonna be a very interesting, you know, May, June, July. And especially if we see real estate prices start to level out and find that floor, it's gonna be a very interesting summer and I'm really looking forward to it.

How to interact with your Kubernetes cluster? Well, for this, you will be using the Kubernetes command line interface called kubectl, kubctl, kubectl, no matter how you call it. It's your own choice. But let's see together how we can use this command line tool. So this command line tool, kubctl, is just a wrapper around the API of Kubernetes. And everything that is exposed by the API, you can use it with your kube CLI tool, like getting info about your cluster, for instance, okay, or getting info about any resource that you deployed. Of course, you can create a namespace with that. You just say kubectl, create namespace, myspace, and that creates your new namespace. And then you have to go into the context of this namespace. And for that, you can, for instance, config. Set context, current, namespace, myspace. And now you are in the correct context of the new namespace that we just created. From there, you can do whatever you want, like, for instance, creating a new deployment. kubctl, create deployment, myapp, with this running image. There we go. And we should see here a pod getting created because the deployment was created, creating a replica set, and the replica set created my pod. Okay, what can I do else? Well, I can scale my deployment. For instance, I just created this deployment. I can say kubectl scale my deployment to replica. Yes. And just by passing this, I can scale up my application. Of course, I can also, for instance, create a service for my deployment with my kubectl command. For that, I do kubectl expose, deployment, myapp, the pod, and what type of service I want. And if I do that, a new service will be created, kubectl getService. We should see our service here. Okay. And if I do kubectl describe, I can describe any resource. So, for instance, I can describe my service, my app that I just created. And that will give me all kind of information. And you can see here, I got two endpoints that are the two endpoints of my pod. That's all. Thank you. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like this video and to subscribe to the channel.

what's your English accent like what's my English accent like mate yeah so it was harry potter they always go to harry potter on wrong reasons hello mate hello mate that's lower class english hello mate we're live give me the give me the proper english oh we're live by the way yeah give the proper one well there is no proper one but i would say probably london's the most normal and what does that sound like tastes like this really hello atlas how are you just like that just like this really hello atlas just like harry harry potter on the dumbledore hello mate how are you expeloramas hello atlas expeloramas to you too cardium leviosa elixir hominy over here now hominy that's the reality i'm shifting to it's just Hogwarts yeah yeah just Snape yeah yeah yeah yeah damn so long long time coming though uh yeah brother yeah i mean i've watched your stuff for a while but the fields weren't ready to merge yeah the hybrid was was brewing in the in the field ready ready to merge for when the field needed at most it's always service to the hole as well like every time it's service to the hole whatever you choose i choose at a similar rate like when fields come together it's always you could say prescript but also even within the prescript is always just a theme and then within that theme is the corridor of what you actually want to how close you want to you want to resemble the exploration of those themes in this incarnation it seems like this is where we meet so expeloramas to you too yeah yeah exactly like like yeah the field's been cooking this and here it is like as a dish yeah yeah and now the taste the taste of it is this uh interaction the brotherhood and the content and what how it resonates and all that kind yeah yeah it's super great and we were picking up different dishes for some while like they were similar but i didn't really meet you we just were finding our own little ways and we were caught on the ego trip and then it's like as always the narrow and narrow doors as you get deeper into realization things become not so much the same but it's like less and less variance in in in stuff it's like each has their individual expression and this is like what's so beautiful about the uniqueness and not being the same not being the absolute in that meeting of joy or joining or new earth whatever you want to say of this actual self worth to say you know i am free i'm as free as i want to be now we're meeting in that same place which sees eye to eye yeah i don't even remember from before yeah that's just like someone's usually more absolute yes yes yes yes yes yes yes that's that's it that's exactly it like like the like that's what kind of was cooking in those dishes was was exactly that like now it's coming from that place and i love how from that place it's uh like kind of the flavors of the taste of the gifts of what's being expressed and and um like i love how you describe like in your content about shattering whatever limits because the the freedom is that truth the clarity all that's already there and like all of it's just like stop limiting it you know right awakening really is just everyone realizing just how insecure and just how much they don't want freedom let's be honest because this whole thing isn't about finding some key like we're not even probably going to talk about much about awakening we're on here for different things but 99% if not everyone the whole process even christ everything that he taught was just you are it look at everything that says that you're not everything that denies that so it's one big game of self-esteem yeah it's like all this no self stuff it's a stepping stone to shed everything you're not yeah to find the power that you are the infinite power that you radiate that people radiate over yang it's like you've got the decades which has talked about yin but decade two about yang and now we're in mastery of love and wisdom like we are mastering at this point this frequency in this this domain so that's all that we're interested in yeah yeah exactly i love that god damn let that fucking light and freedom and let it rip let it rip exactly let it rip baby uh right get it get it get it yeah let's go you maybe want to take my top off yeah not as hairy as you i'll do i'll do as maybe have a few shots of tequila i've got something oh i love it i love it we're gonna have a nipple reveal at some point let's go let's go hey that's a whole video in itself yeah that deserves its own thing i mean nipple reveals on my instagram so if you already want that um man there's so many people in my life that are finding my um that aren't into waking just finding these videos now and it's so funny if they come across this just like what the fuck is this not even spirituality anymore it's just stripping like only fun hey if money gets tight like i'm open to anything you have i have this obsession of touching the mic and he's a child ever since i got his mic it's just constantly yeah it's fascinating that that's one of the main things with these guys people are always like yeah i love it touching them yeah yeah um okay so yeah man i i love that way of saying it like just let it let it fucking rip man let that water flow i love it i love it step into the power right right yeah right the power right but power without direction is just chaos so what i love about you and what i love about this is this absolute young energy but like we say love without wisdom is just uh tsunami without any kind of uh direction so what we're coming together in and i saw some posts and i've been tagged in some stuff and i'm just being sort of reason you know just watching things that they come but you used a word the other day which was i think was elegance or is like maturity or something which is such an important component of this letting it rip like right do you know what's so funny because there's been so much repression of everyone just right yeah yeah because because we're not in we're not individuals having individual way things we are one being trying to work out what it is we are and we're all we're all heading towards the social memory complex for this experimental planetary system called earth anyway so we're realizing we're all just maturing and we're all just at this kind of immature awakening where there's still kind of blame and projection to extend there's still things going on but but you use the word elegance but also i think maturity and responsibility to see that we all want truth now as soon as we fall into saying you're doing this you're doing that we're just turning in and going to the temptation of the lower astrals to just go back into negativity but like you say what you symbolize so greatly is this uprising of just authenticity and the power of just i mean the 20th century just gave us basically a stepping stone of spirituality you know the classic buddhism emptiness but no one wants to sit cross-legged anymore like this is not the century for that this is for expansion into what you want and we're on a timeline of power we're not on a timeline of um just peace it's joy as well it's passion as well the fascinating thing about that is that expansion that is from a place of self from a place of lack from still separation is consuming mother earth and then expansion from a selfless self-realized holistic place is perfect harmony with mother earth right and so that's where it's still relevant to learn what one is to sit like sit sit in it sit in it like learn how to do that and then and then as it becomes i love you man yeah yeah i love i just i love how we're both you know we love that like yeah yeah sit sit in it that's it no look let let let's let's get that clear as well because then let it rip from let it yeah from that let it rip yeah i'm realizing that all of these realities are existing coexisting realities will always be there always will be there we're tuning to what we prefer what do we want to what do you want to experience which and and i can see through your stories and and my choice will always be clarity integrity love and so whatever vibration i put out has to match so the world the world is just a reflection of what you've already set within yourself with an intention so what i talked about the narrow narrow gates as you get further and down you can't get dishonesty through these gates you can't get the old earth ways of thinking which is always scarcity it's like some kind of survival your pure energy that can't be destroyed there's no scarcity it doesn't make sense so we're not defeating old earth we're seeing it doesn't make any sense it's ridiculous yes yes but i love it because these ways of like we talk about the shadow government or this stuff this is all just outdated it's ridiculous they must be in so much fear to possess control over things yeah yeah you can only even come at them with your light because they are you they're parts of yourself so we're here to shine the light which is going to get all the creepycrawling to the top yeah but it's coming from an integrity and coming from joy and your laughter we're laughing like this there must be so much fear in in a being that wants to possess others yes yes yes yes yes yes and i've been there right right we've been in the incarnation of that oppression and i can remember incarnations of trying to oppress and oppressing others and realizing how much that was just oppressing myself because they were me and it feels horrendous and then in this one it's just not what i want not what i want even when you smell it it's like that tastes horrible yeah yeah but it has to be looked at you can't avoid it you've got to see do i still want this because it is tempting right right yes it's horrible and it's fascinating because we have the version of a kind of totalitarian control happening at the level of the nation states and the centralized governments and banks and the matrixes and all that propaganda war all that kind of stuff and then we have and that's kind of getting its own kind of way of tightening i'm i'm not sure if you're aware of how uh china has been with the way that it approaches like using artificial intelligence and computer vision surveillance credit scores everything on in one technology stack that is intimately intertwined with the with the government um but you know very much so like okay you are your you know you're either simping and you're a good boy you know or yeah yeah you're either simping or you're a bad boy you know you're a bad boy and and and so i mean i'm i'm obviously we're diplomats let's also put make that clear we're diplomats and we we're too holistically uh uh like rage like a transform with the injustices but we are also to be a bridge into the new or the new world cities and so basically so there's that that's happening and then there's also the um like the um the way you like the the way that that happens in spiritual systems and so then there's that's i mean these are like the two big complexes there's like holding power over people in the form of nation states and then also in like corporations and um banks banking systems and stuff like that and then there's holding power over people in the form of of of like whatever's happening in the transformative journey is like how to reflect most directly back optimally that what you are is already what you are looking for and it's let that rip and right right right yeah these like you say so we have a spiritual marketplace a spiritual mechanism you could say of that and then you've got the government system whatever their extrapolations fractals are the same thing so you see the same behaviors in each thing because the mechanism the same right of of clarity or distortion and so we'll have groups pop up which may have certain elements that you can just see are the same within sort of governmental structures so here i chose this incarnation to really master the transmutation of these energies we've done it so many times before in other planetary systems whether you remember or not so here is just straight mastery so we can't go straight to the government right we've chosen a particular portion of the collective to transmute to to basically approach with stillness this movement to approach with not so much a stillness of action but like a clarity of light that sees the darkness but doesn't dismiss it at not it it just you're trying to master basically because i've done it on others where it's like really fucked it up and didn't you know we have parallel lives coming from the oversaw where they're always communicating to each other anyway so it seems as though we're we're anyway that's all context but let's get to the content of this like i said with the fractals so we're dealing with the transmutation within a spiritual community which can only really be dealt with by shining your light brighter and brighter which almost illuminates all the parts of your mind because everything on the screen is just your subconscious outpicture anyway so any kind of blame is funny it's like blaming your hand it's like you've like you fuck it's like no wonder it hurts when you blame things because you can only blame yourself but that's not the bypass of not pointing out distortion because if my hand was doing something a bit yeah i would still stay right clarity let's bring you back into alignment with what what you really want right just like fishing the whole day so we're in a place which sees that and now we're treading a very careful line of mastery which is the temptation to blame the temptation to put down but then there's also a temptation to bypass which is it's weak and it's weak minded it's sloppy it's basically saying well i can't do anything there's no self there's nothing to do no you're living in a world that you choose to live in you shine your clarity and how you want to shine it if you want to point out things which aren't in alignment with you like you you know i spoke about these narrow and narrow doors now you can't even get through like let's say something's going on over there that you don't want to deal with maybe before you could just go back into no self nothing's really happening there's no one here now it's like this is sticking out now you you don't attack them you just bring clarity within your own vision and that has to transmit the field yeah you know of dishonesty within it's always your own dishonesty anyway yeah yeah yeah yes yes we're in a new frequency of responsibility yeah yeah exactly and i love you know it is all your body and then the the reflecting is around the injustices and it's in all of the what we talked about in the power structures matrix power structures but also the spiritual power structures and then there's the new earth reflections and this is something that i feel like you know what however you want to view it like christ as taking on the all of the collective sin for transformation and it just at that point it's like if you're looking for like a north star to call god's will why not absolute utopia of basic needs free energy everyone waking up completely free to do whatever the fuck that they want to do whatever art creativity prosperity play joy etc like i'm just like anything that's not that is already like running a program that's not the absolute north star of what is possible for and like what we come here to do we come here to make these magical uh indigenous wisdom with mother nature meets like technology and prosperity it the same in the same it's like oh my god it's so your energy gets me going like it's interesting how we we i need to turn off my radiator focus oh yeah go ahead yeah i'll do in a minute it's fine okay it's out to get too warm but your energy gets me going because vibrations attract vibrations right so i'm always looking for those that are willing to say why not to everything like fuck it why not like what do you know what scarcity is scarcity is just a lack of self-worth you can we are just pure energy pure creators why not have and it's and it's not nothing to do with like greed or anything it's pure self-worth if someone feels worthy of living in a planetary system where those needs are met and the purpose of life is not just to get a bank check it's not just to put food in your head so that your body can like live another day that's just a do you know how ets view us like completely insane to think that that's the purpose of life is just to get through the day like we've been through these incarnations and there are there are areas of the world today the heartbreak are going through these awful things you see israeli see palestine see all these different areas not just that everywhere in the world that are the manifestations of this lack of clarity and what it is their true nature is and so we fight over resources we fight over land we fight over food we fight over all these things by me and you have to bring we don't have to but the choice is to bring light the clarity of the nature of self and choose what we want which is a which is a planetary system full of what we think we deserve of the self-worth it's just completely about self-worth nice right shattering the limits that say that that i don't that we don't deserve that yeah right you said we're the creator like fucking out let's just go with what we know yeah but we've done this on so many different planets i don't know a lot of people yeah if anyone's even on my youtube or your youtube they've got to be coming from maybe they haven't been revealed to their incarnations but here every day the downloads get clearer and clearer even the parallel lives on this planetary system working like in different centuries like in mystery schools all of this stuff is coming back to me now always as revealment of the whole like it would never been given to me unless it's going to help this incarnation either teach better or know better about the self and in other planetary systems they're just like what the fuck is going on on earth because we are taking our time in this delay in this reality but we've got to see that there are there are a simultaneity of just infinite potential of reality we're just actualizing the one that we prefer yes from where we are just pure bishar pure a brand hit pure pure whatever it's it's that's the highest teaching exam coming across at the moment yes yes yes yes and i have some of the visualizations up right now i went through your your youtube and and instagram while you were sharing and then i went to my
