impetus to

move with the core is countered by the fact that one of the outer edges, the one on the pole side, is lined up over core

parts that are moving slower than the other outer edge, the one on the equator side. Thus small tops can spin faster for

the given impetus than large tops, and figure skaters find they can spin faster by reducing their overall size by drawing

their arms in and hugging themselves.

ZetaTalk: Statistical Analysis

Note: written on Jan 15, 1996.

Humans have a saying, that one can lie with statistics, because numbers can be manipulated to support any argument.

If one wants to demonstrate that the populace is not starving, one adjusts the threshold where starvation sets in. If the

numbers run up on one group don't look so good, pick another group. If the average is too low or high, go for the

median and arrange to discard the high or low end. Statistics, done honestly, can make a statement like no other, but

done dishonestly are deeply deceptive because the readership believes the numbers have been run up honestly.

In an era of increasing distress, governments want the statistics on the homeless, the unemployed, and the uninsured to

appear healthy. Likewise, corporations wishing to lie to consumers or to their stockholders discard the unpleasant from

the computation and hope no one looks too closely. However, they are likewise being increasingly challenged. What

was included? How did you arrive at these figures? The squeeze is on. An easy out in these circumstances is to make

the formulas more complicated. Then the common man can't understand and the factors can be argued endlessly. One

trick is to factor in a null, a zero, as a theoretical possibility, when no such possibility in fact exists. Another trick is to

hop through the data in intervals, taking a summation of spot testing, rather than a summation of all the data. If

hopping through the data with one interval doesn't give the desired results, try another interval. All in a day's work for

the dishonest statistical analyst.

ZetaTalk: Time Travel

Note: written by Jul 15, 1995.

Time travel is a mystery we cannot explain fully to you. This is not dependent on our wishes, or your desire, but on the

rules we must follow. These rules are above the Council of Worlds. These rules are not negotiable. However, we can

give you some sense of what is going on. Beyond this, there is not much we can say until you reach 4th Density.

Time is linear only in your mind. It is not what it seems. Your sense that time is linear in the Universe is supported by

what you observe: clocks running in seeming syncronicity; planetary movements that are predictable; testimony of

other people you interact with to the effect that they, too, observe the same time passage as you do. However, time is

only a factor, and as such when put into mathematical calculations can be affected along with the other factors. The

Universe is such a huge mathematical calculation. In the portion of the world that you live in, the factors are stable

enough that the time factor never varies enough to be noticed. This makes you think that time is a fixed factor. It is not

fixed. We understand what other factors are involved, and how to modify them so that the time factor changes as we

wish.

The issue of time travel is confusing to humans, who see the movies where parties go into the future as well as the

past. Would that not be the case, as if one can go in one direction, why not the other? One cannot travel into the future,

except in small increments, hours at most. Leaping into the future is a fiction. One can travel into the past, as that is a

trail marked in the substance of the Universe, strands that can be unwoven and rewoven, a rope that stretches back

endlessly. The past has markers. Grip points. It has been built, where the future has not yet been built. A phrase much

in use is the Time/Space Continuum. This is simply a way of stating that matter may be in a different place, or space,

depending on the time, and that matter leaves a trail, or continuum, over time. You can equate the Time/Space

Continuum to our term strands, being woven and unwoven, which we consider more exact as it refers to the webbing

that takes place.

What would happen if one went back along a particular strand, unraveling it, and changed the circumstances

surrounding the strand. Would it change the present, and thus the future? Yes, but not to the degree depicted in the

movies, where people wink out like lights and buildings disappear from sight and even from the memory of all. How

could it, as each of these occurrences is composed of numerous strands, weaving in multiple directions, and it is

impossible to change them all. What in fact occurs, should one be allowed to go back in time and make an alteration,
