Is fresh water ending in the World? No, but we've got problems

Published in Linkedit: Is fresh water ending in the World? No, but we've got problems Current humanity has got enough knowledge and technical to convert salt water into fresh water. Global water doesn’t change its amount, and sea water we can convert in continental water as we want. But there is a little problem: is expensive. Water is the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, as I said in “ Water ”, which is the why that life is based on it, summarize to have other physic-chemical properties that make it unique, which makes it invaluable; although its abundance relegates it to have a residual value. Brazil somewhat smaller than Europe, and it has a patchwork of climates, however its position in Ecuador it has got a rainforest in main part of its territory, yet there are also deserts. The Brazilian population lives mainly on the coast with high densities of population, but they haven't water problems because they live so close to a forest. Until today , the...

The consumer society

Imatge
During the last days the EU for the umpteenth time, recommending a reduction in salaries Greek, Spanish and Portuguese workers. The question is More? Really salaries can down more; we can only consider payment zero the lower bound (to pay for work only happens for hobbies). We also may ask when it will take to have servitude contracts (pay for food and lodging) or directly slavery . Down salaries when inflation continues to rise, it seems total nonsense, nonsense that goes against the consumer society in which we operate. The consumer society is based on the constant consumption of goods. Currently repair or transfer of goods to be completely useless. Everything is throwing, everything has short time in use, consumer goods older in design but not in utility or use, Wasting is the basis of the modern economy , using throwing is the current motto. But this implies that there must be a sufficient mass of potential consumers willing with power to consume; we have consumers, wi...

The Perfect Storm

Imatge
Title of a movie that was the union of three storms at once and fishermen who need the money makes them be more convenient to the sea, which pays for life. But this isn’t the reason for my writing today. What I talk about is the storm that comes close to humanity and as figured ostriches don’t want to see (topic of Ignoring the Evidence ).   We are currently undergoing the rigors of a crisis that leaves millions of unemployed people around the world. Our politicians are still stuck in their useless solutions. Neoliberals postulate remove regulations and protections, conservatives savings until the last consequences, ansd socialists to spend all money that we haven’t. Tested all three things separately and at the same time and the result was the same: we have gone worse. They don’t realize that the paradigm they knew is gone (or was a lie), but they are still stuck because that's all they know. But back to the storm, or three storms converged to be exact,which...

Towards Black Hole

Before Chandrasekhar demonstrated the contrary, we were convinced that the White Dwarf was the limit where the collapse of a star finishes when the fuel ends. Today the idea of the existence of a limit point where you can download more is the background thought of politicians and economists. This powerful idea serves as the safety net for those venturing up to all sorts of crazy adventures. When the star stops fusing material, it loses energy that kept the mechanical stability and it begins to collapse by gravity, but the enormous mass of a star that generates extremely high pressures to lack the energy compensated the reduced distance between the particles so that forces the electrons to be located at distances of Lambda DeDeboglie and thus combine their states. Electrons are fermions and therefore can’t have the same energy state, and this forces them to acquire higher energy levels. In this way the electrons begin to put themselves in increasingly higher levels of energy that si...
