The unknowable becomes a reality

Subject: The unknowable becomes a reality.

Yesterday it was the news that the petrol/diesel engine car was heading for the scrap heap, today its the celebration by the LGBT community of a 50 years struggle for equality. People are still getting mugged both physically and financially and of course there is the early morning tweet from the White House to enliven us all.
The world proceeds on its erratic way, a reflection of the diversity of the people who populate it. News flood in on the media channels and through the internet, some of it genuine some of it false as certain people and nations strive to create an imbalance by spreading stories to incite emotions.

As Jeff Bezos now outranks Bill Gates as the richest man (91billion dollars) we might turn our minds to just what does 91 billion dollars mean to us as individuals, each with fiscal boundaries, as to what we can do today.

Of course there is the tragedy of the young couple who right now know that the life support for their baby boy is being turned off by doctors and that their public critique of doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital for not allowing them to take their baby boy to America for treatment has rung many bells in the public psyche.
Hierarchy has many objections to much we see as our right. Their Governance of our impulses has always been in their best interest and sadly there is little or no governance of the hierarchy.
David Davis did a workmanlike job of explaining to the House of Lords committee how things were proceeding in our exit out of the EU only for us to be confused by the EUs Chief negotiator Mr Barnier who has poured cold water on the progress.
The implications of our exit are banded around amongst the doom mangers and the ever optimistic Brexiteers,  like an interminably long service game at Wimbledon. We wait on the sidelines hearts in our mouth as shot after shot seems a winner only to be returned by a better deceit from the other side.

The weather seems to have generated a whole new descriptive expression as we seem to have done away with clear sky's and sunshine or it alternative, overcast and rain. We now describe the patches of fleeting blue sky mixed between the soggy clouds as an intermittent weather pattern which has little sense of predictability. Weather of course was always understood to be unpredictable since the predictability is bound up in a mathematical chaos equation where different starting points in the prediction lead to wildly different outcomes.
Prediction has hit the buffers in quantum physics since the sub atomic schizophrenic particle is predicted in one place but the moment we turn to observe it it relocates to another position which is totally unpredictable. The basis of Newtonian science is thrown on its head and the concept of the unknowable becomes a reality.
