Hello fellow brothers and sisters, young nation of Asgardia! Lots of love and peace to all of you from Edinburgh, Scotland! Francis, Natalie and baby Finn

even the most unreligious of individuals has a desire to worship something, so he worships matter. The materialists think they are the more advanced people in an otherwise scientifically ignorant society. The most devout religionists lean the other way and believe their heavenly point of view is the correct way. Actually both are wrong and both are right; from a neutral point of view. I am attempting to present this book from the middle viewpoint. If it appears that I am leaning one way or the other, the reader may Lake into account that perhaps he is basing his opinion on his own tendency to lean one way or the other. Now, the best way to really understand anything is to examine your own opinion from the opposite point of view. This book is an attempt to present to science and religion the facts that each are integral parts of the other, and both are the same ONE from opposite concepts. A wall is a wall regardless of from which side one looks at it. On one side of this wall is written the history and achievements of science, and on the other side one can read the records of the various religions. There is only the one principle of creation, but there are many roads to finding this grand principle. Religion presents its many roads to the people; each sect presenting its approach as the only one, with the fanatic condemnation of all other religious roads. The many divisions of science each profess their findings as the eternal verities. Religion presents God as the Infinite Being; and science presents the manifestations of God which have been recorded with the five senses. In the unthinkable vastness of the infinite universe the Earth is only a tiny speck of matter, inhabited by parasites called humans. The people depend upon the Earth for their sustenance the same as any parasite depends upon its host for life. Religion is the art of living now. A true religionist knows how to live without infringing upon the rightful living of others. The professors of religion propound spirit as something you become after your death. Actually the spirit of you is here now and your god is determined by the way you live in the flesh body so as to manifest spirit now, here on Earth. The consciousness of every individual contains all of the records. of every act and personality that the individual has ever done, or been. To admit that many of the thoughts I received were given by other identities would be true. Yet the further truth is that I have been all of these other identities. Reincarnation is a misnomer. All that one has ever been or will ever be, he is now. Everyone has always existed since the creation. Whether one accepts the limits of one life span here on the Earth, or this life and a hereafter somewhere else is of no concern. One cannot honestly believe in a hereafter without believing in a "before". This schoolroom on the Earth is only a brief experience in eternal Life. One must first understand himself, then he may understand his fellowman. If this is accomplished then one is at the doorway of understanding God.

what if we would give each asgardian a digital contact pack so that they could have a working solution to attract other possible asgardians in their area's.. this pack could be upgraded free at regular times with a download pack.. it could contain all sorts of solutions worked out by government and asgardians themselves.. a project that would automatically improve the cooperation of the two groups.. weekly update's, workouts, brainstorming, thinktanks, etc etc.. grtz,dirk

if we would combine a digital nomad visa with an asgardian citizen passport then this would open possibilities for asgardian residents.. here i have asked the question at chatgpt: The idea of combining a Digital Nomad Visa with an Asgardian citizen passport is an intriguing concept, blending the real-world flexibility of working remotely with the futuristic idea of space citizenship. ### Digital Nomad Visa A **Digital Nomad Visa** is a special type of visa that allows individuals to live and work remotely in a foreign country. These visas are typically issued by countries to attract skilled workers who can contribute to the local economy without taking jobs from local citizens. Countries like Estonia, Barbados, and Portugal have popular Digital Nomad Visa programs. **Benefits** of a Digital Nomad Visa include: - **Long-term stay**: It allows you to live in a country for an extended period, often 6-12 months or longer. - **Legal work status**: It provides the legal framework to work remotely for a company based outside the host country. - **Tax advantages**: Some countries offer tax breaks or special tax statuses for digital nomads. ### Asgardian Citizen Passport Asgardia is a self-proclaimed "space nation," founded by Russian scientist Igor Ashurbeyli in 2016. The idea behind Asgardia is to create a new society that transcends Earth's borders, eventually establishing a human presence in space. Asgardian citizenship is largely symbolic and comes with a digital passport and participation in the community. **Asgardia's Vision** includes: - **Space exploration**: Aiming to establish human settlements in space. - **Global citizenship**: Promoting unity beyond Earth-based nations. - **Science and technology**: Focusing on space research and development. However, the **Asgardian passport** is not recognized by any country or international body and does not provide the holder with any legal rights to travel, work, or reside in any country. ### The Combination The idea of combining these two concepts—using a Digital Nomad Visa in conjunction with an Asgardian passport—would be symbolic of a future where global and even interplanetary citizenship is possible. - **Practicality**: Currently, the Asgardian passport does not hold any legal value, so it cannot replace a traditional passport or visa. However, as a digital nomad, you can carry your national passport, use it to obtain a Digital Nomad Visa in various countries, and symbolically carry your Asgardian passport as a statement of your belief in global or space citizenship. - **Visionary Thinking**: This combination could represent a future where humanity moves beyond the confines of national borders, leveraging technology to live and work anywhere on Earth—or even in space. As governments and organizations start to recognize the potential of space travel and interplanetary colonization, the idea of an Asgardian passport could become more than just symbolic. - **Global Mobility**: The Digital Nomad Visa allows you to live and work remotely across the globe, while the Asgardian passport symbolizes your aspiration for even greater mobility, potentially beyond Earth. In summary, while combining these two ideas is currently more symbolic than practical, it reflects a forward-thinking mindset where digital work and space exploration converge, pushing the boundaries of what citizenship and mobility might mean in the future.

examples from chatgpt.. Organizing tourist and sports events that take place at different atmospheric heights, or even from the edge of space, could offer thrilling and unique experiences. Here's a futuristic concept for how these events might unfold: ### **1. **High-Altitude Tourism: "Sky Cruises"**    - **Sky Cruises**: Imagine luxury "Sky Cruises" aboard large, comfortable balloon platforms that float in the stratosphere.

Pieces might include space photography, sculptures that float in microgravity, or interactive installations that respond to atmospheric conditions.    - **Cultural Festivals**: Different nations and cultures could hold festivals on these platforms, celebrating their traditions against the backdrop of Earth from high above, promoting peace and unity through shared human experiences at the edge of space. These futuristic sports and tourism events, spanning various heights in the atmosphere and extending into low orbit, could redefine our relationship with space, blending entertainment, adventure, and cultural exchange in unprecedented ways.

if we would build a cube for example of 10 meter in size and fill it up with a framework of 1 meter or even smaller then we could plant fast growing climbing plants at the bottom and let them grow over the whole structure.. each 1 meter upward pillar would represent a tree.. it would take up co2 and give off oxygen while taking dust and pollutants out of the air..  it would create coolness and a home for life.. something that could be inserted in city's with empty spaces.. grtz,dirk

The journey of communication has been a remarkable tale of human ingenuity. It began with simple spoken words and gestures, evolved through the written word, and took a monumental leap with the invention of the telegraph and telephone. The 20th century saw the rise of radio and television, bringing information to the masses at unprecedented speeds. The digital age dawned with the advent of the internet, revolutionizing how we connect and share information. Mobile communication added another layer, making it possible to stay connected anytime, anywhere. Enter 5G technology, the latest chapter in this story. Promising lightning-fast speeds, ultra-low latency, and the capacity to connect a vast number of devices simultaneously, 5G is set to transform our digital landscape. In essence, 5G is the bridge to a future where connectivity is ubiquitous, unlocking possibilities we are only beginning to imagine. And it has an ally in this domain — satellites. What Satellite Data Offers For 5G Satellite data has long been an essential part of telecommunications, especially for reaching remote areas where traditional infrastructure is difficult to implement. Historically, satellite and terrestrial networks operated independently, with satellites often used for backhaul in telecommunications networks. Additionally, satellite images of high resolution (https://eos.com/products/high-resolution-images/) have been invaluable for a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring and urban planning, further demonstrating the critical role of satellites and access to high quality satellite images in our communication systems. Despite their significant bandwidth capacity, early satellite communications were hindered by high latency and the need for extensive physical infrastructure, making high-bandwidth data movement costly and complex. The advent of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations has transformed the landscape. These arrays of small satellites orbit closer to Earth, typically between 160 to 1,600 kilometers, dramatically reducing latency to as low as 6 to 30 milliseconds compared to the 280 milliseconds of Geostationary (GEO) satellites, which orbit at 35,000 kilometers. This reduced latency is crucial for real-time applications and seamless connectivity, aligning perfectly with the demands of 5G technology. GEO satellites, while capable of covering a third of the Earth's surface, face challenges like signal attenuation and path loss due to their high altitude. LEO satellites, conversely, cover smaller areas but offer more reliable and faster connections. Integrating these satellites into 5G networks promises near-instantaneous coverage and the capacity to connect a vast number of devices. Satellites in 5G networks can serve several critical functions: providing additional backhaul, creating redundancies to ensure reliable service, and extending connectivity to remote and rural areas. This integration enables 5G to fulfill its promise of ubiquitous, high-speed connectivity. The evolving satellite industry, with its new business models and advanced technologies, now supports a closer collaboration between space-based and terrestrial networks, making comprehensive and seamless global communication a reality. Moreover, higher resolution satellite images can support a variety of applications, from environmental monitoring to urban planning, enhancing the overall utility of 5G networks. As we look to the future, the role of satellites in 5G networks will depend on a combination of technological advancements and industry decisions. Whether providing direct-to-device connections or linking end-users to the core network, satellites are poised to play a pivotal role in the next generation of communications, ensuring that the benefits of 5G are accessible to everyone, everywhere.

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily halted some 5G deployments and postponed spectrum auctions. Nevertheless, the outlook for the 5G market remains positive, with its transformative capabilities poised to drive significant advancements across various sectors.

if Asgardia is mainly a digital nation then maybe we should look out for other digital entities with the goal to exchange users.. a few from us connecting with them and a few from them connecting with us.. digital immigration and emigration.. no digital borders as in one global network.. if we set up specific digital nation laws then we have to be careful to not enclose ourself with digital laws that could act as digital borders.. an open digital border allows digital connections.. it is not because other groups have different goals and opinions that there is no possibility to learns and connect from/with each other.. we have to change our views and reactions towards other groups like it has been done with the physical borders for thousands of years.. we do not need army's but we need security which can be obtained by working together.. digital embassies would do the job for traveling between digital nations, states, groups, unities, etc.. grtz,dirk

what if we would create a digital solar coin which would consist of any matter we can back up.. lets take abundant matter.. sea water, dessert sand, moon dust, asteroid rock, plastic waste, etc etc.. we value it per volume of 1 cubic centimeter for example.. so it would go from cents to thousands.. it would allow trading between different matter in space.. it could be exchanged for oxygen and food and drinks in space.. specialist industry's could make use of the different matter in space and on different planets.. each location in space would have its abundant matter for others to use via transporters in space.. just a wild idea popup.. grtz,dirk
