Gates shares with us a scientist's rich, connected way of looking at the universe, and we've captured him in Twitter form.
Are we in the matrix? Physicist James Gates reveals why string theory stretches our imaginations about the nature of reality. Also, how failure makes us more complete, and imagination makes us more knowledgeable.

Selected Readings
Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. In this article, S. James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into the theory of supersymmetry — and perhaps even the very nature of reality.
In response to a gathering at Westmont College exploring the role of science in liberal arts education, Mr. Gates develops his ideas on how how the sciences help us understand the value and meaning of our lives.

Please keep in mind that I remember Dr. Gates comment explaining a physicist is going to lie when he speaks to the public, and my physics grade was saved by extra credit and lab quizzes...
Krista and Dr. Gates--well done, good and faithful...extremely stimulating conversation from childhood memories to super-symmetry in the cosmos. The primary notion I have kept thinking about since listening to your conversation is centered in String Theory. I get the explanation of how the Adinkra vibrate and are related in essence to the strings on a stringed instrument. However, one note that fell short for me was an explanation, or relation, of the varying Adinkra vibrations with the vibrations from differing stringed instruments. In other words, Dr. Gates used an analogy of a note (I think I remember C) being similar (in affect, not effect) to an electron, and other particles being in similitude to other notes on the scale. I guess my question could be stated: Notes in music can and are represented by vibration patterns visually, correct? A C note has a certain wave form. However a C note visualization from a piano would/should have a different pattern/representation from a Taylor guitar playing a C note. Additionally, I would think a C note played on the aforementioned Taylor by BB King is going to have a differing form than a C note played by Eric Clapton on the same Taylor using the same set of strings? If BB King played a C note on same Taylor with old strings, then replaces the strings with a new set, and play another C note, would they have differing representations (considering that you could make other variables constants/controls)?
I'm guessing Dr. Gates' description of String Theory was limited due to context and audience--either that or there are many facets of that string's vibration that are yet to be explored by physicists.
Wow, I'm at the point of needing to write a blog post due to my genuine interest propelled by ignorance.
Here's another set of thoughts I ran into while listening: Regarding Dr. Gates statements about physics being like language, i.e. you can have a non-fictional statement, but real/deeper meaning is gained when the text moves to poetry (I believe I remember Krista adding critical thought here as well). Immediately after listening to your conversation, I went to a group that I am mentoring for their 'Branding/Marketing' messages. I drew a parallel for them from your conversation, but went a step further. In marketing, there are 3 graphical representation types that can be used: Symbols (rational text), Icons (resemble the thing they stand for), and Indexes (primal; there is a physical connection to the thing they represent, i.e. a foot print). Drawing a parallel from your language function to graphical representation, a set could/would be: Symbols=Text (non-fiction, straight-forward statements); Icons=Poetry and/or Narrative/Fictional tales (text is put to rhythm or story, and the combination begins to contain deeper meaning); Index=Song (text/language is combined with rhythm and story, but sound vibrations are added)--Music is created. One of the primary aspects of these differing forms of communication is that Song is easiest remembered and yields the creates emotional connection. Another note should be made here regarding Dr. Gates' post on Akimbra--symbols and doodles make notes that are remembered much longer and understood more readily than an outline of text.
Since the time of the fire-lit cave walls, song has been the form of communication mankind has used to convey his understanding of the world that surrounds him. I believe String Theory sounds like the song of the universe.
I'm trying to understand your
I'm trying to understand your reference to the the tone that we call the note of "C" ,not sounding like "C" based on the instrument, or two different individuals playing an instrument, of which you use the guitar and piano as an example. I believe "C" vibrates at 440 hz regardless of who is striking the note;yes? Piano and guitar have different tonal qualities, as does a trumpet compared to a violin, but a "C" is still a "C", and thus vibrates at the same rate, if that "C" is played in a the same octave range. It'a an interesting point that you've brought up though.
the note A vibrates at 440 hz
the note A vibrates at 440 hz. This is what is called a fundamental frequency. Only a pure sinewave will have only a fundamental frequency. If you analyze sound in a frequency spectrum analyzer, you will see the fundamental freq as well as any harmonics and overtones created by the instrument recorded. The reason why pianos and guitars have different sound even while playing the same note is because the physical shape and size of the string as well as its method of being struck cause different harmonics and overtones thus producing a different sound even with the same fundamental frequency.
I am listening to the program as I write this. I still need to digest what I'm hearing. Gates is a great commnicator of his specialty - super symmetry. Next Wednesday is my 77th birthday and the interview has been an early present. I have a PhD in Rheology from Purdue University so science and physics is not foreign to me, but Gates' clarity was appreciated.
Most scientists today are wrapped tightly in very narrow avenues of inquiry and thickly insulated from exploring broad metaphysical questions. James Gates opens doors, inspires imagination, and breathes new life into curiosities that my have become narrowed or faded over the years.
I want to thank you for the beauty of yesterdays show and for the flood of new images and perceptions it continues to gift me with. I happen to be reading a Miguel Serrano book of his relationships and conversations / letters with Herman Hesse and Carl Jung. Quite a synchronous endeavor, life! So, my mind continues to work in all these images and perceptions, in the cosmos in which I breathe, with many, as yet, unfinished streams of ideas coming to tentative conclusions to check out. The image of imagination that most pleases me so far is the congruity I am seeing between andrykas (sp?) and my image of these as mandalas appearing as if from the unconscious - underlying the mathemeticians labors of love searching, searching.... Thanks again and may you be well, happy and peaceful. Mike
An excellent program, of course. Listening to equations to hear what they have to say is a form of listening at prayer. Dialog with nature, dialog with mathematics, all at the same time in the presence of God.
Mr. Gates is a real physisicist: 'What we can't measure falls outside the realm of science'. 'Science does not permit us the illusion of certainty.' 'That question has to be left to theologians.' This is different from the scientists who claim science shows that theological truth is imagination, science can't say that. Theologians find that science supports its conclusions more and more.
It seems to me that a unified theory must exist, so it might be super string theory. It seems to me, for theological reasons (Revelation, new heavens and a new earth, 12 courses of stone), that it will be found to have 12 dimensions - but that's imagination from a scientific point of view. And imagination, as stated, leads where one looks for knowledge.
Isn't it beautiful that matter is a form of energy. Dovetails well with creation. And that it would be perfectly elegant and beautiful.
Not sure how 'we are essential to these new laws of physics', maybe it's in the uncut interview.
In some senses scienc is catching up to theology, but Mr. Gates is right, when science shows evidence for something that theology has asserted, it is a powerful reinforcement (e.g. that we come from one male and one female in the human genome project.)
It seems to me that there were two big bangs. The first in time was the creation of the physical universe, this is the one that scientists study. The second in time is the Incarnation of Jesus in Mary's womb: the start of the Kingdom of God on earth. Both develop and grow and expand. Theologians study the second. But (God does everything twice) they are related, of course, have similarities, and can inform each other.
I am embarrassed; but are you
I am embarrassed; but are you in danger when math makes you so happy? My personal discovery is math is the language of God and the universe. Human homeostasis is a complete formula. Sickness, anger, and that math pattern that does not fit with nature; it is an incomplete equation that the sickness or anger is produced because of the inability of the body to cycle the logarithmic equation present. There are thousands all running parallel in the body all at one time. They all produce energy unless the equation does not work then the energy is sent into the body as an affectation. To cure sickness fix the math. That part will take me longer. Thanks for listening.
wow, you said it! i know THEY
wow, you said it! i know THEY WILL FIND THE CURE FOR CANCER, IN A FRACTAL EQUATION,
That is a very perceptive
That is a very perceptive concept. It fit's nicely with my thought that what we are currently experiencing may quite literally be a "hacked" reality. The "hack" is limited and superficial compared to the much larger, far more precise and perfectly efficient "system" it is interfering with and leeching off of. We can witness evidence of both but are fundamentally unable to untangle one from the other in any significant way. Your thought also fits with the concept that our reality and our interface with it is a type of quantum equation being solved on/in a computational "device" so (by our standards of intelligence) staggeringly complex we will likely be completely unable to map it in anything but the largest of general details. I read recently that there is a general debate as to why we find math in every aspect of reality, whether it be because we interpret it INTO the observation as a type of "language" or it exists of it own accord. I tend to find it more rational to understand that it is inherent in the observed phenomenon...which I believe supports the concept that we "exist" in and as a functioning part of a "technological system/device" of super-intelligent design possibly designed to sum some monumental equation. Consider for a moment, if the double slit experiment is reduced to it's fundamental rule, all conscious "intention/action" is evidence of a binary stream....1 this way...0 that way. I've heard this also described as a co-creative environment. Perhaps that IS the hack. Scary version: Perhaps consciousness itself is the objective of the "hack" but is an affront to the larger system.
I wrote this poem. It is titled Between Seasons
In the backyard-- overturned barrels, waterlogged pots the tarp intended to protect uprooted, splayed on the bruised cement. It is reassuring to be told the design will stabilize, branch out from a still point like a voice inside the self. From dead leaves, roots, torn weeds, and broken branches: the cadence of compost dark, golden potential. Patterns will emerge, says the physicist who argues against chaos theory, from the ripped cushion Flung from the chair, from a naked table frame can be deduced the rhythm below, a sublime design in the discard pile, the fact of theory.

I listen to your show as often as I can. I usually pick it up on my way to work on the weekends. A few months ago you did a show that was very interesting to me. You spoke about what it is that keeps us from losing our minds with all the bad, frightening, and often painful information we are bombarded with. I would like to read that again but can't remember what the name of the show was. Could you let me know?
I love listening to your show........
The mystery I feel concerning
The mystery I feel concerning the universe when observing the stars at night is very similar to the mystery and awe I experience when contemplating James Gates mind while listening to this interview.
Dr. Gates' use of pictorial
Dr. Gates' use of pictorial representations for his ideas sounds like sacred geometry and Plato's forms. A related field is the biogeometry of Dr. Ibrahim Karim. This is about the energy of shape and how it affects well-being. For a great introduction to this work see http://www.biogeometry.org/page22.html. Dr. Ibrahim would be a great person to interview on On Being.
Good People, Until hearing
Good People, Until hearing Dr. Gates' closing story about Music and Scoring compared with Mathematics and Computing, one enormously significant factoid always stood in my way--blocking any reasonable and earnest access to string theory. "How can you NOT prove anything you want to prove when you resort to sets of partial differential equations with eleven variables?" is the mantra in my head for several years now. Perhaps Dr. Gates' story offers the prospect of approaching the "difficult" relationships in modern physics by somehow seeking to see the rain forest a little more coherently--and concisely (and elegantly)?
THANKS for engaging my imagination. - Ralph Palasek, Arlington, Virginia
What a fantastic show! I
What a fantastic show! I love sciencey content, especially on NPR, but this is something I did not expect from On Being. The ideas contained in this show are astounding, thought-provoking, and it produced one of those moments where I am really happy to have public radio.
As a mathematician, amateur
As a mathematician, amateur author and philosopher, I have been exploring the possible cosmologies that arise from the quantum physics models of reality, both in my poetry and in my fiction. Indeed, I have as my status note on GMail that
- "The Universe operates in the Rational number space, but I randomize using the Real number space, therefore I have free will.
" By this I mean that if the universe is a discrete simulation it must operate on the Rational number system, with planck distance and planck time being the cause for the discretization. In this case, eventually (after countably many cycles) all possible states and transitions must be experienced. (Here, countably is in the mathematical sense, the Rational numbers are of course, countable.) But such a universe is deterministic in the weak sense of the word, while if my interactions with the universe are based on the Real number system, then even the Universe cannot tell how I feel about my existence, and cannot predict with even quantum certainly what I will do, which certainly must be one of the oldest definitions of free will.
I enjoyed this talk very much, thanks you!

My knowledge of physics and
My knowledge of physics and information science is limited, but this show was inspiring to me as a parish pastor. I couldn't help but think about the first creation story in Genesis in light of the discussion. First, God creates by speaking, and the first thing created is "light". So, there are two things in creation--darkness and light. Could that be the "0 and 1" which underlie everything else? Just a thought. Thanks for another thought-provoking show.
What a beautiful, beautiful
What a beautiful, beautiful voice. He could be talking about anything and I would listen.
Fantastic interview. Krista
Fantastic interview. Krista did a wonderful job as usual. I thoroughly enjoyed S. William Gates, Jr. He has a rare ability to take complex concepts from physics and translate it into lay terms that I can understand. Moreover, Dr. Gates is an extremely thoughtful person and conscientious scientist who understands both the potential and limits of science without pretending that science can do philosophy or metaphysics.
I have posted some thoughts on the interview on my blog.

What a fascinating
What a fascinating conversation. I found myself pausing it numerous times to look up the theories and ideas Dr. Gates was discussing so I could have a deeper understanding of his thoughts and claims. The concept that mathematics can be a sensory experience and allow one to see the unseen was what I found to be the most interesting idea in the piece. I appreciated his example of Einstein being the first to "see" the electron via a mathematical equation; something that seems relatively impossible to someone who struggles with elementary elements of math! I was also struck by his disclosure that components fundamental to equations for supersymmetry mirror those found in computer code. I agree with his further explanation that just because two things are found to have similarities does not imply they are related, but agree it would be an interesting avenue to explore!
The overall conversation showed the power of the mathematical equation and its practical implications for everyday life. It moved math from purely scientific, finite discipline to a fluid concept that can address challenges in various disciplines. I appreciated Dr. James' ability to discuss mathematics in a manner of possibilities and opportunities; his respect and enthusiasm for theoretical physics was evident through the conversation.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 'An Essay on Mind' (1826) would be worth your reading Ms. Tippett & Dr. Gates. Post Newton, Science positioned itself as superior and separated from culture. A very young & brilliant EBB wrote this long and detailed poem refusing this idea and declaring poetry / art as the superior process, with all due respect of course. One must also read Goethe's 'Theory of Color'. Similarly, he refused to accept that how the eye sees was something outside of his sight, his eye. I no longer see any of the disciplines as separate but rather in synergy with each other. All this of course very briefly stated.
Professor S. James Gates and
Professor S. James Gates and it turned out to be right.
Simulation have an "observer"
Simulation have an "observer" POV. The very subjective act of "observer",simulating complex perception& intelligence, which cannot (yet) be matched even by the best supercomputer cluster is just astonishing. What is this "observer" ? Us? What is "us"? And why somehow we are tempted to relate "us" to the "simulated universe" ?
Is not code in equations, is
Is not code in equations, is humans coding to explain nature. Be cautious or your thought can be used like quantum physics is used to explain reincarnation
...What illimitably gripping
...What illimitably gripping implications!
James Gates does communicate
James Gates does communicate well and is an engaging personality. However, though he did not dissemble in any way, I think that nonphysicists listeners might come away with some misimpressions from this interview. In particular, I think it worthwhile to note that
1. There is no empirical evidence whatsoever for supersymmetry. The interview is dated 2012. Since then the first physics run at the LHC failed to find any of the predicted particles though many physicists hoped that it would. (That run did find the Higgs, whose prediction does not require supersymmetry.) The failure shocked and dismayed several physicists of my acquaintance.
2. Despite huge and mathematically formidable efforts over almost 30 years
, string theory has not even been able to quantitatively account for what we already know about submicroscopic physics as formulated in the Standard Model. This failure has led some physicists to abandon the effort. I recommend the book 'The Trouble with Physics' by (former) string theorist
Lee Smolins.
This is to try to restore a sense of perspective and is not intended to imply any disrespect for the larger quest for a unifying theory in which the people involved are engaged.

Among the green elements which have come into use over the last twenty years to soften the impacts of buildings on the environment are green roofs. More recently this concept has been extended to vertical surfaces with the use of green walls, both interior and exterior. Both of these elements have potential and both come with caveats -in terms of their value to the environment and their relationship to the buildings on which they are located. A well designed green envelope can make a contribution to a sustainable building; a poorly designed green envelope can seriously damage a building. This course will examine the many choices available for designing, constructing and maintaining green roofs and green walls, the pros and cons of each in any given location from an environmental standpoint, and the critical things to be aware of as you design and construct them.

Hi John,
thanks for the information.
I've just sent a mail to that address.
For some reason I never received an answer to my request.
FWIW, the open source drivers fully document pretty much all aspects of the chip (modesetting, vbios tables, 2D, 3D, overlay, etc.), much of which isn't specifically covered in the nda docs.

Greinke, Kennedy set to square off in San Diego
Following off-day, Padres-Dodgers resumes Tuesday at Petco Park
SAN DIEGO -- Zack Greinke and Ian Kennedy. Sound familiar?
Tuesday night's starting pitchers for the Dodgers and Padres were the protagonists of last season's memorable fracas between the Dodgers and D-backs that seemed to send both clubs in opposite directions of the National League West race.
Last June 11, Kennedy, then pitching for Arizona, hit Yasiel Puig in the nose with a pitch, eventually leading to a melee that led to six ejections in the game, including Kennedy.
After Kennedy hit Puig, Greinke retaliated by hitting Miguel Montero in the back with a pitch, and Kennedy further retaliated by hitting Greinke in the shoulder with a pitch.
"I wanted to throw inside, just kind of to send a message, but not to hit the guy, and it just kind of got away from me a little bit," Kennedy told MLB.com after the game. "I was really just trying to go inside, because I didn't think it was right what he did to Miggy."
Kennedy was later suspended for 10 games.
Kennedy faced the Dodgers one other time after the incident, on July 9, just weeks before he was traded to the Padres. There were no incidents in that game.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, Greinke skipped the Dodgers' Australia trip while rehabbing from a right calf strain, and allowed three runs (two earned) in six innings, using 78 pitches, in an exhibition against the Angels last week.
"Zack felt good about his last outing," manager Don Mattingly said. "He's a perfectionist, and he's never quite happy. I look for him to pitch well [Tuesday]."
With Clayton Kershaw, Josh Beckett and Chad Billingsley on the disabled list, and Dan Haren coming off a dull exhibition start against the Halos, the Dodgers need a healthy Greinke to stabilize the rotation behind Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has become the early-season ace.
On Sunday, the Padres sent one of their power arms, pitcher Andrew Cashner, to the mound in a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers in San Diego's regular-season opener.
Kennedy isn't the typical power arm like Cashner or Tyson Ross, who will get the start Wednesday in the series finale.
If anyone was built to pitch at spacious Petco Park, it might be Kennedy, an extreme fly-ball pitcher who was traded to San Diego on the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline in 2013.
Just don't try to convince Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley that Kennedy's isn't a power pitcher.
"My feeling is that no matter what your velocity is … if you can throw a ball by a guy, then you're a power pitcher," Balsley said of Kennedy.
Kennedy was 4-2 with a 4.24 ERA in 10 starts after the trade sent him to San Diego, a deal that saw the Padres ship lefty reliever Joe Thatcher and Minor League reliever Matt Sites to the D-backs, who might have sold low on Kennedy, given he was only two seasons removed from that big 2011 in which he won 21 games.
"Where he's at in his career, we're hoping that a good offseason working with Darren [Balsley] last year, a couple of minor tweaks in the delivery will help him," Padres manager Bud Black said.
Dodgers: Where's the offense?
The middle of the Dodgers' batting order is off to a slow start after three games. Hanley Ramirez is hitting .091. Adrian Gonzalez is hitting .111. Andre Ethier is at .167.
The Dodgers had only four hits Sunday night against San Diego, but they think that had more to do with who was pitching than who was hitting.
Cashner was good enough for Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis, who had two of their hits, to compare him to Kershaw.
"He's as good a young arm as we're likely to see all year," said Ellis. "He reminds me of a certain left-hander on our team."
Padres: About that pitching …
Black spoke at length on Sunday about the importance of having a strong pitching staff, specifically in the rotation. Then his starter went out and backed his statement.
Cashner, making his first Opening Day start, allowed one run over six innings, with five strikeouts and two walks.
Black knows that if the Padres are to make any headway in the NL West, and improve on consecutive 76-win seasons, it will have to start with their pitching.
"Very few teams that finish in the bottom of the league in pitching make the playoffs," Black said. "For us to get where we want to be, it's about the pitching."
On Sunday, Cashner and four relievers limited the Dodgers to one run on four hits.
"A lot of contributors," Black said. "A lot of good stuff from a lot of our guys."
Worth noting
• The Dodgers won seven of their last eight games against San Diego last season and were 6-4 at Petco Park.
• Dodgers left-handed reliever Paco Rodriguez, who has struggled since last August, struck out the two batters he faced .
• Although it came on a blown defensive play by the Dodgers, Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal was credited with his first career stolen base, and he scored a run in the eighth-inning rally Sunday night.

Blue Jays look to Happ to keep playoff hopes alive
Brewers will counter with Fiers, looking to keep win streak going
Mike Fiers has made a smooth transition into the Brewers' starting rotation, and he'll look to help the team extend its four-game winning streak when he faces the Blue Jays in the series opener Tuesday at Miller Park.
Fiers, who joined the rotation in place of injured righty Matt Garza, is coming off a 14-strikeout performance in a win over the Cubs on Thursday.
The club is skipping Kyle Lohse's start because of his sprained ankle. Because of a day off Monday, Fiers will be pitching on regular rest.
Fiers is 2-0 in a pair of August starts, allowing one earned run and two walks over 14 innings.
"I feel like I've been pitching like this all year," Fiers said. "I kind of got my confidence back from last year, probably in winter ball. Coming into Spring Training, I felt good. I just took off from there. Yeah, I got sent to Triple-A, but it didn't kill my confidence sending me down. I just had to wait for my opportunity and do it now."
The Blue Jays will need a strong start out of J.A. Happ as they try to keep pace in the race for the American League Wild Card. The Blue Jays, 4-11 in August, have been unable to recapture the magic from a torrid run in May and a playoff spot seems more unlikely with every day.
Happ has been one of the team's most reliable starters in the second half, posting a 2.51 ERA over five starts.
He entered his last outing with a 1.71 ERA since the All-Star break, but hit a bit of a rough patch vs. the Mariners. The veteran lefty surrendered a costly two-run single to Dustin Ackley in the fifth and allowed five runs in his six innings.
"The results weren't there, so that's obviously frustrating, every game is big, but you can't get too down on this," Happ said. "I felt good, I felt like I was making pitches."
Blue Jays: Rotation getting rest
The Blue Jays' starting rotation could use a breather, but this week might be taking it to the extreme.
Toronto has three off-days within the span of a week. The first came after a recent series in Seattle with another pair on the way Monday and Thursday.
A day off would normally be a welcome break for a staff that includes veterans R.A. Dickey and Mark Buehrle plus rookies Drew Hutchison and Marcus Stroman, but in this case it might be too much of a good thing.
"I'd rather have them spread out a little bit to be honest with you," Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker said. "I think when you get three within eight days, that's probably too much. But at the same time, it's not going to hurt us.
Brewers: Gennett nearing full speed
Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett believes it won't be much longer before he's once again running full speed on the basepaths, and the team's upcoming schedule could help.
Off-days on Monday and Thursday, plus the fact the Blue Jays are starting a left-handed pitcher on Tuesday night at Miller Park, will give Gennett three of the next four days to rest the right quadriceps that has been giving him some trouble since a series in Washington immediately following the All-Star break. To avoid turning a nagging injury into a significant one, manager Ron Roenicke has encouraged Gennett to go easy on the bases when he can
Worth noting
• Melky Cabrera has hit safely in 23 of his last 30 games since July 13.
• Brewers manager Ron Roenicke filed a report to Major League Baseball executive vice president Joe Torre requesting a second look at the controversial double play that ended a Brewers' rally in the seventh inning Saturday night.
Rickie Weeks was called for interference on the play by second-base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt after executing what he and Roenicke each insisted was a perfectly clean take-out slide. When Weeks and Roenicke protested, Wendelstedt told them he saw Weeks hit second base and roll into Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas behind the bag.

June means summer and the promise of long, lazy days at the beach, which might be why this is the time of year the United Nations observes World Oceans Day and the U.S. celebrates National Oceans Month, in order to raise awareness of the seven seas, what Melville called "the watery part of the world." In that vein, we've asked Skipper Ken Jennings to navigate us through four maritime myths that refuse to die. It turns out that none of them really hold water.
Ocean Myth #1: Sea Captains Can Marry People.
Well, yes, sea captains can marry someone. In fact, in eleven states and many foreign ports, a sea captain can now marry another seafarer of the same sex. But what they're not allowed to do is marry other people—that is, officiate at wedding ceremonies, pronounce that couples arrrr! now man and wife.
The popular romance with the idea of a wedding-planning skipper is so deeply engrained that both the United States and British navies have had to issue rules explicitly reminding their officers that they're not allowed to perform weddings at sea. (Sort of makes you wonder how many mixups over unlicensed marriages led to these new rules.) The same goes for civilian captains. Every U.S. state has its own list of people whose job titles allow them to solemnize marriages (typically judges, ministers, mayors, and the like) but so far, no state has specifically added "salty sea-dogs" to the roster.
Of course, if a skipper really needed to officiate at a lot of weddings (like, say, Captain Stubing on ABC's The Love Boat) there are workarounds. In some states, like California and Massachusetts, the skipper could come ashore and file for a 24-hour marriage-performing power-up at his or her local courthouse. Alternately, an outfit called the Universal Life Church claims that every state but Pennsylvania and Virginia will legally recognize marriages performed by one of its 18 million clergy members—most of them regular folks who paid $5 online in order to order to be "ordained." I'm sure that some of them, somewhere, are even sea captains. You may now kiss the bride, matey.
Quick Quiz: Before Gavin MacLeod first donned the freshly creased white uniform of The Love Boat's Captain Stubing, he appeared for seven seasons on what other legendary TV hit?
Ken Jennings is the author of Because I Said So!, Brainiac, Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac, and Maphead. He's also the proud owner of an underwhelming Bag o' Crap. Follow him at ken-jennings.com or on Twitter as @KenJennings.
He was Murray Slaughter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I thought he was Joseph "Happy" Haines on McHale's Navy.
in eleven states and many foreign ports, a sea captain can now marry another seafarer of the same sex
Wait, what!? They can officiate gay marriage between sailors, but nobody else? That's awfully specific. Is there a history, here, or just a matter of poorly-drafted legislation?

The joke slipped past you. The heading reads: "Sea Captains Can Marry People." And, of course they can. So can we all. (We can get married.)
To me, he'll always be Big Chicken from Hawaii Five-0.

Me too! I was going to post this, but you have relieved me of all responsibility!
I've officiated five marriages as a Universal Life Church minister over the past thirteen years (and so far they've all stayed married). When I signed up, it didn't even cost $5. I just sent them an email and I was automatically ordained. The couple still has to get a marriage license at a county courthouse for it to be official, but that's the same with any marriage, regardless of the officiant.
Another ULC minister here for 15 years. I've never officiated a wedding but a friend that I ordained has performed a couple. Has anyone challenged Pennsylvania and Virginia not recognizing ULC weddings? Screams of religious discrimination to me.
rh48 wrote: Has anyone challenged Pennsylvania and Virginia not recognizing ULC weddings? Screams of religious discrimination to me.
The Commonwealths (at least those two) might just have concern about the low entry bar of ULC ministers (ie "anyone") as opposed to the training that ministers, judges, and the like have. Not saying that it's right, or wrong, but this is just what it seems like would be their reason for disallowing it.
My wife and I were married by a ULC minister. Fully legal in California (honestly, depending on what *county* you are getting married in in California, it can be very unlikely that they'll even check to verify that your officiant actually has the required affiliation to conduct a marriage at all).
Guest Blogger
The ULC doesn't charge for its ordination, but a certificate will set you back $5. I just assume everyone paid the $5. Why would anyone join the fake clergy and not get a certificate?!?
In PA, you don't need an officiant at all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-uniting_marriage My father and step-mother got married in a Quaker-style ceremony.

Wednesday April 17, 2013 04:47 by Ilan S. - AAtW, ainfos. Mazpen ilan at shalif dot com Tel Aviv
It is already 65 years since the official Nacba day and the old memories of sorrow were joined with newer ones. However, the defeat was not complete. The Tsumud - the persistent stand fast still frustrate the effort of the Zionist settler colonialists from completing the "cleansing" of Palestine from the Palestinians. The joint non armed struggle which entered the world public media is on the verge of blocking the continuation of the cleansing project and even rolling it back. Thanks to all the brothers and sisters who participate in the joint struggle and the other popular struggles that gradually develop who keep my soul young in spite of the long way traveled. Special thanks to the people of Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Beit Ummar, Ma'asara, Naby Saleh, and Qaddum who keep the Eternal Flame of struggle and hope. Al-Ma'asara |

The about 100.000 Palestinians of the occupied territories are employed by Israelis. Most of the roadblocks were removed. The rebellion of the Palestinians in the west bank is channeled mostly through a small minority of activists in the joint and separate week end activities. People are like holding their breath to see if the culminated crisis in the international arena will yield a significant break throw. Mean time, the persistent week end struggles - though in a diminished intensity in Bil'in, Ma'asara, Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, South of Hebron Hills, Sheik Jarrah... with sporadic struggles in other locations. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle and the activists of the popular committees continue to contrib... 17:00 Mon 29 Dec 0 comments The approaching victory in the struggle to block the advance of the Zionist settler colonialist project and even to force it to retreat a bit do not make the real good people to like the enrolling of history. The approaching defeat make the Israeli elite take desperate steps and do its atrocities in the open. The efforts to transfer the Bedouins within 1948 borders and villagers in 1967 occupied territories escalate. The diminishing support of Israel by the imperial power due to changes in the dynamics of the region, world public opinions and economic losses it cause gradually change the power balance within the Israeli capitalist elite that may be expressed in the coming elections. On the ground, the joint struggle in Bil'in, Ni'lin, Ma'sara, Nebi Saleh, Sheikh Jarrah, Qaddum, and South Of Hebron Hills, is gradually expanding to other locations even without the "shield" of Israeli activists. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle to the backdrop of the end-of-the-world "status quo" and as cat... 16:47 Mon 15 Dec 0 comments The old world order, in which US interests in the region East of the Mediterranean let Israel - a bastion of the US - continue with its Zionist settler colonialist in the 1967 occupied Palestine, has ended. Europe has started to advance its own interests, which are not in accord with the Israeli bastion. The independent steps of Europe are enhanced by its public opinion against Israeli colonialism to which the joint struggle in the West Bank contributes a lot. It was the approach of the imminent crisis that forced the Israeli Prime minister to call for elections, to save himself from the normally-timed election when the crisis would be the main agenda. The murder of the Palestinian minister of the popular struggles has focused attention on the ferment and rising of the popular non-armed struggles of which Israel is contemplating suppression with systematic use of live ammunition. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel - The joint struggle contributes to the shift in domination within the Israeli capi... 15:50 Sun 30 Nov 0 comments Israel was built mainly by the national socialists who owned 75% of the economy in 1949. Due to dependence on the imperial powers the so-called socialist elite invested a lot in building the Zionist-capitalist elite to which it lost power in 1977. Conflicts of interest within the Zionist-capitalist elite started to change the balance between the small tycoons section that supported the Zionist wish to transfer the Palestinians out and the capitalist section that integrated in the neo-liberal globalization who wish to exploit the Palestinians and the workers of neighboring countries. The restructuring of power relations in global capitalism after the last crisis had its Israeli expression in the near-bankruptcy of the tycoon elite and the present collapse of the government coalition. The economic damage which has already resulted from the B.D.S. campaign which is enhanced by the joint struggle seems to be hastening a shift in the balance of powers. The social revolution will sweep Turkey Kurdistan sooner or later 06:39 Sun 16 Nov 1 comments By Zaher Baher from Haringey Solidarity Group and Kurdistan Anarchists Forum Palestine-Israel - the joint struggle in turbulent times.* 02:03 Tue 11 Nov 0 comments The popular unarmed struggle of Palestinian communities joined by the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall and others is not a struggle for the "national liberation" or "self determination" of the Palestinian nation. It is the struggle of Palestinian people, of which the overwhelming majority are working people, against the threat of transfer and the suppression and exploitation by the Israeli Zionist settler colonialist project. None of those involved in the struggle who are not in the Palestinian elite have illusions about the Palestinian elite and the state they will rule and manage after the end of the occupation. None of those involved in the struggle believe that the end of the direct occupation will solve the 1948 Nakba and the refugee problems. However, they still prefer the end of the occupation and independence from Israel, over direct Israeli rule, as it will not be an agent of transfer or of such brutal suppression and exploitation. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel - a struggle that never ends between Zionist settler colonialism and the indigenous... 15:25 Sun 20 Jul 0 comments The war on the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip continues for the 13th day. Demonstrations against Israeli warmongering continue both in Israel and throughout the world. All that Israel wants in this war that it has initiated is to thwart a Palestinian unity government and curb the peace agreements it might speed up. The danger of Hamas' surrender to the Palestinian Authority in the heels of its economic crisis has resulted from the actions of the new Egyptian government, which seriously threatens the project of splitting the Palestinians, something that Israel has invested extraordinary efforts in. Only the total collapse of Hamas rule in Gaza scares Israel more than that. However, due to internal problems among the Israel political elite and public opinion, the government refrained from revealing the true nature of the war, which is to stabilize independent Hamas rule in Gaza and prevent the need for Hamas to surrender to the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank. So, instead the Israeli government has exaggerated the reports about attacks against Hamas and is hiding the real agenda - the obstruction of Palestinian unity. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel, Turmoiled weeks that backfired Israeli efforts to ignite a third armed Intifada in... 01:59 Mon 07 Jul 0 comments When the European pressure on Israel to compromise with the Palestinian elite collected momentum - already diminishing exports, Israel tried to take advanced of the kidnapped three settlers youth applying "plans from the drawer" trying to ignite armed Intifada. Nearly three weeks of propaganda based on lies (as if they are searching for the already known to them to be dead three youth) was all over the media. When lastly the bodies were "found", lies were exposed, and the harassments failed to ignite Intifada. The mounted hate crimes of the Israeli extreme right and murder of a Palestinian youth of the annexed East Jerusalem ignited an extreme response there and within the Palestinian regions within the 1948 borders. Vicious harassment of US-Palestinian youth - cousin of the murdered youth which was video typed became together with the video of the kidnapped cousin became viral all over the world and ignited solidarity demos all over the world. [Italiano] Palestine-Israel: In the Beitunia murder, the joint struggle again highlights the most important asp... 21:47 Wed 28 May 0 comments Many objections were raised about the participation of Israelis in the non-armed struggle in the areas of Palestine occupied in the 1967 war. Some, mostly Palestinians, regarded it as a contribution to so called "normalization". Others claimed that Israeli activists should do their struggle within the Israeli population of the 1948 borders. Many anarchists raised reservations as the Palestinian popular struggle is a kind of capitalist "national independence struggle" for the self-determination of the Palestinian capitalist elite to monopolize the option for the exploitation of the Palestinian working masses - they just ignore the fact that most Palestinians wish for a bi-national democratic whole Palestine and not for a national Palestinian State. Others just do not take upon themselves the obligation to serve as a life-saving shield, as Israeli policy officially forbids the state forces to shoot to kill when Israelis are supposed to be among the demonstrators. Indigenous people struggle against settler colonialist transfer and marginalization is NOT the same as a national Bourgeoisie for "national independence" or "national self-determination". [Italiano] Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle activists insist in the efforts to change the world* 22:02 Mon 19 May 0 comments Week after week, on weekend and in the week-days to anarchists and other activists insist of leaning our Shoulders on the wheels of history that revolve too slow and push them as much as we can. There is not much of energy in the masses and many activists lost the urge to participate, but still many of us persist and join the meager efforts of the Palestinians who resist the advancing transfer efforts of the Israeli Zionist project and its state forces. The international solidarity activists who join us bring with them the echoes of world wide expanding support and the message that our struggle contribute a lot to it. The frustrated Israeli state forces continue their murderous efforts to extinguish the popular struggle adding live ammunition from time to time like the last week at the demo in Bitunia (near the Ofer concentration camp) but retreat under mounting international pressure. [Italiano] more >>Rojava: Fantasies and Realities Nov 08 1 comments The Kobane resistance that has passed its 45th day as of now has caused the attention of revolutionaries all over the world to turn to Rojava. As a result of the work carried out by Revolutionary Anarchist Action (DAF), anarchist comrades from many parts of the world have sent messages of solidarity to the Kobane resistance.(1) This internationalist stance without a doubt carries great importance for the people resisting in Kobane. However if we do not analyze what is happening in all its truth and if we romanticize instead, our dreams will turn to disappointment in short order. Horizons for the Syrian revolution May 23 0 comments The main features of the Syrian revolution are its youthful, spontaneous aspect, and the fact that it was created on the streets and is linked directly to the people. It is a revolution without centralized control, led by insurgent individuals. Consequently, no-one can claim to govern it or lead and the reason is simple: the young insurgents rose up spontaneously and there are no signs of participation by religious elements, whose ideas are extremely reactionary, or indeed by any other tendency.

Israel-Palestine: The murder of Ahmad Husam Yousef Mousa Jul 30 0 comments Ahmad Husam Yousef Mousa, 10 years old, was murdered yesterday as he demonstrated together with his friends against the separation wall which is being constructed on the lands of his village Ni'ilin.
