Maybe Inertia is the answer

Last night's show of the COSMOS series on National Geographic channel of DSTV was truly revealing. Michael Faraday was making discoveries in the field of Electricity and Magnetism, but because of his limited (or non-existant) mathematical background he could not express the observed phenomena in the form of mathematical equations.

In my view, Michael Faraday's postulations were in the realm of what we call "religion" today, because without mathematical formulae, he could only hope that his experiments would return the same result each time they were performed.  And they did.

OK; some may consider it far-fetched to liken Faraday's experiments to religion because although he could not express his findings mathematically, he could nonetheless demonstrate the behaviour of his magnetic and electric materials to observers. I humbly submit that Faraday could do this only because the time required for his experiments to "mature" was infinitesimally small, compared to the time required for religious invocations to play out. If you are confused at this stage, don't worry, so am I.

I am confused because of Inertia. The phenomenon of Inertia cuts across material and non-material things/objects. Recall my earlier posting on how the continent of Antarctica reminds one of Tom and Jerry or the Road-runner and the Coyote? Those are material things whose behaviours vis-a-vis inertia are presumably explained by Newton's laws of motion. But inertia does not end there.

Society's behaviour exhibits characteristics typical of manifestations of inertia, but the related inertial behaviour takes much longer to play itself out. The most despicable tyrants take over countries, legally or otherwise. They subject their people to untold suffering, all the while thinking that the people either love them or are too afraid to forcefully get rid of them. But eventually social inertia asserts itself and the dictator is sent to the dustbins of history. Only those dictators who adapt their methods to the restorative reactions of social inertia last any significant time.

There is no country on earth which does not "cycle" its leadership. Various methods are employed - son or daughter succeeds father/grandfather; sister succeeds brother; a "place-holder" is installed while a son is being groomed. All these are exhibitions of social inertia. The opponents of the recycling may have a very good reason to oppose it, but they too acknowledge the futility of confronting social inertia at the wrong time.

In my view, one of the greatest acknowledgements of social inertia occurred when the Soviet Union came into being. This was a union based on a philosophy that negated religion, but if you examine the soviet flag (hammer and sickle) you can't help feeling that it looks like the Muslim crescent and an Orthodox cross. In other words even the anti-religious Bolsheviks could not help subliminally installing religious symbols on their banners to stave off negative reaction due to social inertia.

And so in my view, humanity's inability this far, to formulate a mathematical equation that cuts across material and non-material phenomena, and explains God and religion in terms of the principle of inertia, is no different from Michael Faraday's inability to formulate mathematical equations to explain his experimental observations in electricity and magnetism. We know that Faraday's experiments have since been mathematically explained; it is therefore foolhardy to deny that non-material Inertia (and God) may one day be mathematically explained.

Jews/Baperi in Southern Africa

The DNA profile of the Lemba people of Southern Africa has been shown to be similar to that of Jews. I have argued that the Jews are an intergral component of the Cushite peoples whose principal workgroup occupation, during the Anunnaki building of Lalibela in present day Ethiopia, was to make sisal (and possibly jute) ropes. TO TWINE sisal strands and make rope is known as KU KOSHA in Kalanga
.
One possible pointer to the link between the Jews and the Lembas is in the names "Falasha Jews" from Ethiopia and "Mposi Lembas" of Zimbabwe and Botswana. I believe that "Falasha" is a corruption of the Kalanga noun "Balasha", meaning those who throw away (or lose). I know that the Kalanga noun "Mposi" is derived from the verb KU POSA meaning TO THROW/HURL. It is conceivable therefore that Mposi Lembas are not only Jews, but specifically Falasha Jews.

In addition to the Masunga Lembas (Baperi) of Botswana, we also have the Nswazwi Baperi. The latter is an interesting group, because while they are undoubtedly Lembas, they nevertheless have pointers to a Batota (Zulus, Xhosa, Swazi) identity about them. The first pointer is the name -Nswazwi. The second pointer is the name "Makuta", used in reference to a range of hills where they reside. However, the word "Makuta" actually means "fences" in Kalanga. It is synonymous with "Wuta" or "Wute" in the word "WuteNtota" for Ngunis/Hottentots.
 
And so the Nswazwi branch of the Southern African Jews must have assimilated Ngunis  to a large extent. Alternatively, they may have arrived in Southern Africa earlier than the other Jews, and therefore been absorbed into the Nguni fence-making groups in order to impart their rope-making and application skills - Nswazwi wa pomba ngombe!

Cushitic Empire from KU KOSHA

The Kalanga infinitive verb KU KOSHA means to TWINE strands, as in making a rope. Sisal is called "i-kusha" in Kalanga. The "Cushite" empire was founded by people who were specialists in making rope. Roll back to Anunnaki "Lalibela" and you will see that "King Lalibela" is a myth, just as "Ethiopian Jews" is a tautology. In other words, there was never a King by the name of Lalibela; and there are no Jews other than Ethiopian Jews, be they black or white!

In building Lalibela, lots of ropes were used. People were accordingly divided into workgroups. One of those groups was necessarily "ba-Kosha", meaning those who twined the ropes. Maybe even jute was used, hence the word "jews".  The word Semites originates from the Kalanga verb KU SIMA, meaning to be strong. These people specialised in testing that the ropes were sufficiently firmly tied to their suspension points.

The Lemba people of Southern Africa are known to have a Jewish ancestory. In Botswana, they are called Baperi, while in South Africa they are known as Pedis. One prominent Lemba family/tribe in Botswana carries the name MASUNGA, meaning the one/s that tie/s.
Here again we have our compound Kalanga verb KU SUNGA, meaning TO TIE. A close examination of the verb shows that it is composed of the words "SU" and our familiar suffix  "-nga". SU meant THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE/REGION in ancient Egypt and "-nga" meant "resemble". I will ramble on when time permits.
