Star Trek - "Metamorphosis" - tv-series Season 2 Episode 9, 11/10/1967
Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.
(from internet transcript)
[Outside the shuttlecraft]
MCCOY: Spock! Are you all right?
SPOCK: Yes. Quite all right, Doctor. A most fascinating thing happened. Apparently, the Companion imparted to me a rather quaint, old-fashioned electric shock of respectable voltage.
MCCOY: It attacked you?
SPOCK: Evidently. Unquestionably, a large part of its substance is simple electricity.
MCCOY: Oh, yes. I'm not a scientist or a physicist, Mister Spock, but am I correct in assuming that anything that generates electricity can be shorted out?
SPOCK: Quite correct, Doctor.
[Cochrane's home]
(Spock is demonstrating the device he has put on the table.)
SPOCK: Put this in the proximity of the Companion, throw this switch, and it will scramble every electrical impulse the creature can produce. It cannot fail.
KIRK: It troubles you, Cochrane?
COCHRANE: The Companion saved my life. It's taken care of me all these years. We've been very close in a way that's hard to explain. I suppose I even have an affection for it.
KIRK: It's also keeping you prisoner.
COCHRANE: I don't want it killed.
SPOCK: We may simply render it powerless.
COCHRANE: But you don't know. You could kill it. I won't stand for that.
KIRK: We're getting out of here, Cochrane. Face up to it. I'll do anything I have to to save all of our lives.
COCHRANE: I suppose from your point of view, you're right.
MCCOY: We understand how you feel, Mister Cochrane, but it has to be done.
COCHRANE: All right. You want me to contact it?
KIRK: Please. Outside.
COCHRANE: What was it they used to call it? The Judas goat? (leaves)
SPOCK: There is some risk, Captain. We do not know the extent of its powers.
KIRK: Nor it ours.
[Outside Cochrane's home]
(Cochrane 'calls' and the Companion comes just as before. When it has enveloped him, Kirk gives the word.)
KIRK: Now.
(The jolt knocks Cochrane out and the Companion comes towards the dwelling, apparently angry.)
[Cochrane's home]
(It enters, blows up Spock's contraption then attacks Kirk and Spock. They are rolling around on the floor inside the sparkly thing, clutching their throats.)

This was like the moments of rye-stench quiet from his youth.
by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me: 8:01 PM August 22, 2021
I still cannot reconcile that detail in my mind about my personal activities in 1990, just after my honorable-discharge USN
I wrote about it because of that scene from the 2004 "Lost" tv-series
That guy gets sucked into the crashed engine
That reminded me of my neck-tie
Every time I relive those details in my mind, I wonder if there is some critical detail I can no longer recall
But cannot be
The details are too consistent
Not too long ago, I decided that I am struggling to remember Thomas Reagan when I first met him
My theory being that he was there in Ashdown, Arkansas, at the same time as I
"As I"
*I* have no idea if any detail I remember about the past is my own
Now, you see, you dim-wit dullards out there, *you* will never get it
I've wanted to go back and explain to a person - one of the very rare people I've reached out to - just why I wanted to reach out to her on Facebook
I've never known that person but I was left with a sense of snootiness, just as with the very few people I've written personally
In that episode, Thedia shared a photo of me as an infant - I've described all this before
Apparently, lurking deep in my subconscious was memory of that photo, which I had undoubtedly seen many times over my life, through the 1990s
Thedia didn't say a word about it to me - absolutely no attempt to help me clear up this extreme struggle in my mind with reconciling the past
No, only after the fact, did she share on her Facebook page an old photo of me as an infant and that woman I contacted was in photo
Last time I saw Thedia in person she sent me some dumb email about "nurturing me as a baby" or some dumb crap
No, there has been absolutely no support out there for me in this baffling struggle
People hear my message and they can see the world only from their own life of ridiculously and mediocrity.
So, I don't what was the point of my public campaign.
Eventually, I pieced together the details about my excursion back to Ashdown, Arkansas, in 1990
I discovered that only recently had the high-school graduation dates changed
And this works only because of that change:
From 7/19/1989 ( the United Airlines Flight 232 crash in Sioux City Iowa and from the thoughts in my conscious mind, coinciding with United States of America Veterans Affairs hospital psychiatric doctor medical drugs: the end of Kerry Burgess - *me* - the natural human being cloned from another human being {Thomas Reagan} ) To 5/25/1990 ( ) is 310 days
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 9/8/1966 ( premiere US TV series "Star Trek" ) is 310 days
What I always remember about that is my neck-tie got caught in the fan of a computer I was working on just before I left to travel there by commercial-airline
And yet, there are conflicting details that nag at me, making me think of my theory that Thomas Reagan was there, too
by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me: 8:45 PM August 22, 2021
See, the operative detail - in the conflict of memory I cannot reconcile - is that it centers on a three-day weekend.
*Everything* about that memory is because of three-day weekend. Flying commercially back to Arkansas.
So, as I've worked on it in my mind
All the time I've worked on it in my mind, the thought comes up sometimes that maybe I am mis-remembering details spanning two different three-day weekends
But no.
No, that's impossible.
Could have happened only in 1990 and just after my enlistment ended
AND the reason it cannot reconcile in my mind is BECAUSE of how I can clearly remember my precise activities during the second occurrence of a three-day weekend in 1990: Labor Day
The first was Memorial Day.
Melissa's kid had a birthday that same time
Which I cannot visualize.
I do visualize being in Ashdown at my old high-school that day in 1990, that Friday night after my flight arrived in Texarkana
In 1990 for Labor Day, I remember suddenly deciding, that Friday evening, to drive down to Charleston, SC, from where I had started working in Greenville
I remember that clearly
My most recent ex-girlfriend's sister recognized me in the crowd at a nightclub downtown Charleston
I remember clearly that was Labor Day
So, that eliminates the possibility I've misremembered critical details
From 7/16/1963 ( ) To 8/16/2021 ( ) is 21216 days
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 12/4/2023 ( Today , Monday ) is 21216 days

Would be something if an image captured casually by me at night-time is what causes me to invent time-travel

A few hours ago, I awoke in bed in the dark
I looked over at the digital-clock next to my bed
The clock suggested the current time was 11:57 PM
I had to concentrate for few moments
My question was answered when I saw the lights on the fan next to my bed, thoughts in my mind, from sleeping, as though I was aware of people talking about the electricity at that time being off
But nope, that fan was on.
Looked around into living-room, other stuff's on
About an hour ago, during the 7 AM broadcast of the same news of the day, they informed me of a system-wide power-outage here in Spokane Valley, where I live
I looked it up, in the past hour
Is scheduled to begin tonight at 11:59 PM, today, Monday, 8/16/2021
Because of an Osprey bird nest, they're taking down the entire power grid to remove it and make some repairs
by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me, 08/17/2021
Even with the complete blackout of the service-area of my utility provider, I could have still walked around outside easily, just due to light-pollution from the non-affected areas.
The final images in this collection captured by me was set manually to 1/20-second exposure-time and appeared to me closest to how I actually viewed the surroundings at that time.

"What the hell is that *noise*?" She turned and surveyed the workshop, hunting for the source of it.
Walker set down his fork and adjusted the volume. The knob was soldered onto a series of resistors; the knob itself was called a potentiometer. He had a sudden impulse to explain all of this
He could explain how he had figured out the amplifier, how the potentiometer was really just an adjustable resistor, how each little twist of the dial could hone the volume to whatever he -
Walker stopped. He picked up his fork and stirred his corn. He could hear Scottie whispering from the shadows.
"That's better," Shirly said, referring to the reduced hiss. "That's a worse sound than the old generator used to make. Hell, if you *can* turn that down, why ever have it up so loud?"

"Slowly," he said
And sure enough, the static from the speakers modulated. It was as if the crunching plastic had begun to move and bounce around the room.
"What am I even doing?"
"Helping an old man - "
" - yeah, I might need you up here on this one - "
Walker dropped his fork and held out his hand for her to stop. She had gone past it though, into the static once more. Shirly seemed to intuit this. She bit her lip and wiggled the knob the other way until the voices returned.
"Sounds good. It's quiet down here anyway. You need me to bring my kit?"
"You did it," Shirly whispered to Walker, as if these people could hear her it she spoke too loudly. "You fixed - "
Walker held up his hand. The chatter continued.

What's important is the thoughts formed in my conscious mind over the past few hours
I know they happened first because I can remember what I was doing at the time. One really important point, not described here, is the thoughts that formed in my conscious mind as I warmed in the microwave-oven to tepid level canned soup
Hours later, I followed that hunch and checked my original work code-pattern
Almost a full day ago I began thinking again of this story being a variation on a theme:
multiple silos

Swift Vets and POWs for Truth
From Wikipedia
Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, formerly known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), was a political group (527 group) of United States Swift boat veterans and former prisoners of war of the Vietnam War, formed during the 2004 presidential election campaign for the purpose of opposing John Kerry's candidacy for the presidency.
The campaign inspired the widely used political pejorative "swiftboating", to describe an unfair or untrue political attack.

Work of the devil
Here is an article to support my theory about Microsoft's Manchurian Candidate. I think it was supposed to be me. I have the video game experience they need, I have some world experience that would at least get me noticed. They need someone with more experience than just playing video games. They need someone that has that video game mentality but that also has some real world experience. Microsoft obviously can't buy a friend in the U.S. government so it is my strong belief they wanted to place someone in there as their representative, their own Manchurian Candidate. I believe it was supposed to be me. Heck, I might have even gone along with it if not for their "Communistsoft" approach to this with a bunch of out-of-touch dictator-types trying to control my mind with a plan that would make Stalin proud. That reminds of something else I was thinking of last year when I felt like I was connected to everything going on. If I was forced into becoming some kind of political candidate, I could imagine there would be "Perrys for Kerry" and then there would have to be "Perrys Against Kerry" or something like "Fast Frigate Veterans For Kerry", etc. Pretty funny stuff.

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.
from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn’t cover such an interesting topic.

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.

I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."

SINCE YOU people lurking out there are too dim-witted to understand what I'm about
This is where I tend to see my choices showing up in a production that happened well before I knew myself what I was going to do before I started watching the video

Parallel universes in fiction
From Wikipedia
A parallel universe, also known as an alternate universe, parallel world, parallel dimension, or alternate reality, is a hypothetical self-contained plane of existence, co-existing with one's own. The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called a "multiverse". While the six terms are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term "alternate universe/reality" that implies that the reality is a variant of our own, with some overlap with the similarly named alternate history.
Fiction has long borrowed an idea of "another world" from myth, legend and religion. Heaven, Hell, Olympus, and Valhalla are all "alternative universes" different from the familiar material realm. Plato reflected deeply on the parallel realities, resulting in Platonism, in which the upper reality is perfect while the lower earthly reality is an imperfect shadow of the heavenly.
One of the first science fiction examples is Murray Leinster's short story Sidewise in Time, published in 1934, in which portions of alternative universes replace corresponding geographical regions in this universe. Sidewise in Time analogizes time to the geographic coordinate system, with travel along latitude corresponding to time travel moving through past, present and future, and travel along longitude corresponding to travel perpendicular to time and to other realities, hence the name of the story. Thus, another common term for a parallel universe is "another dimension," stemming from the idea that if the 4th dimension is time, the 5th dimension - a direction at a right angle to the fourth - is an alternate reality.

Twelve cups of coffee so far and I *still* feel drowsy

Thinking about that reminds me again of my guess about how "parallel universes" became a popular topic in sc-fi
I've written before about my completely uninformed thoughts on the topic
My * guess * being that it's because the position of the electron is unknowable with the state of human science
That makes it a variable
And since a scientist never knows "how much" then any math calculations in any sort of quantum physics is always going to be a guess
My guess is that math was used that featured variables about the states of electrons and they got some wacky results which they assumed meant there are multiple universes
Would that still happen if the state of the electron became non-variable?
I'm thinking about this again for several reasons
One reason, people seem to be going to a lot of trouble to get my attention
And it's not because so I will contact them directly
Commercialism is involved but is not, I am thinking, the ultimate objective, for my part, of those behind the operations I am detecting.
Another reason is this overall situation.
Certainly, planning and coordination is obvious.
How did I get here, where am I going
There is a reason to all this and I labor under the assumption that I am supposed to find *something*
Something grand.
Something that makes it all worth it.
So, systemized in my thinking because, notably, of "Stargate" I am drawing lines on boards
I don't know who reads my posts but I am guessing you are like me in my perception of time.
None of this especially insightful. Nothing especially enlightened. Perhaps not even all that intelligent. Is mostly just elemental
If you're like me, then you see 'time' as always flowing forward
We have clocks that tell us that fact
The cavemen of ancient Earth began to suspect time existed because of the Sun
Wild animals adjust to time because of night and day and the challenges it causes for them
When I think of 'time' I will imagine a two-dimensional graph on a page of paper
A 2-d graph has two lines
Up and down is 'y'
Left to right is 'x'
You can imagine a 'z' line if you imagine that you are looking directly at it as it progresses away from your line of sight
The x-axis and y-axis consist of 90-degree angles, or right angles. Same with the imagined z-axis of a 2-d graph
In this illustration by me, those 3 dimensions - 'x' , 'y' , 'z' - are clearly present:
So, we don't have any trouble imagining a three-dimension reality because we see it everywhere we look
So what is that 4th-dimension one hears about all the time in science-fiction?
To me, it represents the flow of time
A 3-d object and it's position in *time* can be plotted on a 2-d graph:
The concept of 'now' could be plotted at the point where the two lines intersect
This is the point of now
Graduation lines could represent anything ; 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 century, anything measuring time
My illustration DSC09229 happened during 'now'
When I captured that image, it could be plotted on that graph at the point where the lines intersect. That is 'now'
That is not true now, though, because 'now' is the same place on the graph plot but my capture of that image is not 'now'
It is the past so it has actually moved into the past. It would be plotted to the left of the intersection. That is the section of the line measuring negative values. And that is the 'past'. The past is negative values on the plot.
Now, most importantly, that object in my illustration DSC09229 is still in that same exact position where I originally captured it as an image
So it's presence has traveled through time!
It has arrived at 'now' without ever moving from its position where I left it
What I want to illustrate here is the notion of the flow of time
That object of my illustration is still in the same exact position but at different points plotted on the x-axis of my graph illustration
This represents, to me, the flow of time, as I perceive it with my senses
I thought through this because I have wondered about that statement from that Wikipedia page about the 5th-dimension and I have never really tried to understand that concept.
Did I understand these things before May 10, 2006?
There must be a lot I understood then and that I do not now.
That has led me to believe that whatever I am destined to discover does not require any special technical knowledge or anything from a very high level of education
I am simply tossing this all out into the wild of the internet because sometimes that causes me to gain new, special insight because of my effort here.
As it is now, I am thinking I might understand the concept of a 5th dimension.
That is what I am thinking could be plotted on the y-axis of my simple graph
First though, more about my thinking of the 4th-dimension and of plotting the passage of time
This is an illustration I am using to represent 'now':
This represents to me, an object at any given time. It is a point in space, anywhere. It is what I think we all tend to think of as "the third dimension"
Now, this represents a 4th-dimension, the presence of the passage of time. I think of this as something that exists in "the fourth dimension":
Everything is in motion, I am dimly aware of from my amateur interest in Physics
We can't see many things moving because of something about the relativity of observation
The entire Universe is moving but we perceive virtually none of that motion
When I try to imagine a 5th-dimension, I think of the y-axis on my simple plot
I am guessing that is what could be the so-called "parallel universes"
As a positive value is plotted on the y-axis, it represents the same thing happening in a "parallel universe"
This causes me to wonder about the z-axis. And to guess that could be some sort of 6th-dimension
What that would be, I have no idea.
Maybe it's the notion of branching-realities
The notion from "The Peripheral" about "stubs" is begging for attention in my conscious mind and reminding me to not forget about that concept
I don't know why any of what I am describing in my observations about the stuff other people are doing in their baffling behavior that continues to support my allegations
I *want* to guess that I am going to discover something that makes it all worth it
A mirror-universe - possibly created as a branching reality from this reality - where I can find what I want
It's a notion established in my hypothetical Epoch 4 so that gives it some weight for me here now in my (theoretical) Epoch 5
