Asgardia

I want Asgardia to be the utopia that we all do and we all know that no utopia is complete unless the Welsh are there. I am not a politician, i listen to you, i hear your ideas and share your frustrations. I understand the difficulties we all face, but if we all share the burden we can make a difference. I don't make promises that i know i can't keep, so i will only make one and that is to listen to YOU the voters, no matter what it is you have to say I WILL LISTEN. So I'm appealing to all my Welsh brothers and sisters out there to vote for me. Together we can take the land of song beyond the the stars.

The idea and concept of a calendar and time, is meaningless in space. Let's think about this for a minute. Time (as far as the measurement) is based off of the Earth's rotation around it's own axis. A standard day was decided to be 24 hours. Each hour is consisted of 60 minutes, and each minute is in turn made of 60 seconds. It's further measured down further and further for scientific measurement, but that's irrelevant to this discussion. The rotation of the Earth around the Sun is then chunked up into days. As the Earth takes 365.25 days to rotate back to the same position in the orbit, we would eventually become off sync with the seasons and months. This is why Leap Year is a thing. To keep December aligned with Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. It makes sense when looking at it from that point of view. Now let's "zoom out" a little on the scale. The ISS (International Space Station) takes only 90 minutes to rotate around the earth, which means it's localized day/night is way out of sync with Earth. It's still in the same orbit around the sun (mostly), so as far as year, it takes the same amount of time (hours/minutes), but would take thousands of localized days. If we look at other planets, days are more or less hours, years are more or less days, and time takes on it's own localized meaning. If we stick to a Earth based calendar, seasons no longer sync with what's happening locally. When we eventually move to interstellar travel and spend "years" on the ships, and stations, seasons no longer matter. The day night cycle is internally regulated, and hours and minutes lose much of their meaning. Then add in the complexity of the Relativity, where as we approach the speed of light, time slows down for those on board, relative to a fixed point in space. Time no longer passes the same for the occupants of the ship, as it does on Earth. Without some sort of universal constant (of which we haven't figured out yet) there's nothing other than local time. Cheers!

Hey y'all,

It's actually been years since I started to feel like this. I've been kept this as my secret from the entire world because I don't want my friends or someone to feel I'm the kind that suppose to be ignored or be killed by the government. I'm quite a person that not talk too much and I like to stay alone than stay with people who don't understand how my life is going. Actually I started to feel this way when I was at primary school which I was like 8 or 9 years old. I don't have feeling towards girls or women and I felt weird when that happen to me so I started to touch a boy which is my best friend that time and it felt really weird and I like that kind of feeling, so when I arrived at home, I searched the internet about this feeling and lots of people said that this maybe these kind of persons have a homosexual genes or feeling in their body. When I'm at school, I've tried to tell my friend but I can't because I was too scared of what they gonna say to me so I started to kept it as my darkest secret. In my country, being a gay or homosexual is illegal to religious and aspect of law. I tried so many ways online to cure this feeling but nothing change and I felt like maybe this is what god intend to do with me and I tried to learn to accept it and I do. I thought I'm the one who have feeling like this in this big world but I was wrong. There was so many supporter out there for this kind of people like LGBT community which help people like us or others to understand how we feel and how we think. I hope The Asgardian are very supportive kind of people who treat me the same way they treat the others. No hard feelings but I do love this world and I do love space and sometimes depression make me hate human but just because sometimes when an article about gay people make a party being write by a straight person or non-lgbt person and they insult it like LGBT person is a trash to the society and that what make me so mad and hate human because they don't understand what we feel that make us like this. It's not like we love sex or something. It's about love and sometimes love can spread in so many ways and maybe this kind of way is the best way to spread some love to this world. Thanks because you sacrifice your time to read my this pointless blog of my darkest secret. Have a good day mate.

Thanks,
