> So, do you think there will be a geomagnetic reversal event in 2012? I thought not.
I'll think for myself, thanks.
I did like the explanation of what we do know about the magnetic field, it's a great writeup. But in the end, chaotic only equals not knowing enough yet to make a good prediction. So if we don't know why it changes, it needs as much faith to believe it won't reverse in 2012 as it does to believe it will.

Without GPS, our airliners will also plough into the ground…
Yeah, why do we bother training those pilots?

@Todd Sieling
"chaotic only equals not knowing enough yet to make a good prediction. So if we don't know why it changes, it needs as much faith to believe it won't reverse in 2012 as it does to believe it will."
It's probability, based on the evidence stated in the article, that makes it unlikely for geomagnetic reversal to happen in the next four years, or even the next 100,000. Faith has nothing to do with it.
Of course, if you'd rather believe that an ancient civilization that used stone tools had figured it all out because they possessed cosmic secrets, or that some god has a special plan just for us, that would be faith. Misplaced faith, but faith nonetheless.

Soooo…..what you're saying is that one day I'll have to buy a new compass! Time to buy stock in companies that make compasses!
Great article. I didn't expect doomsday but I have wondered what would happen when the polarity switched. Thanks.

poarity in men or animals change all the time without even noticing it without special instruments. WHY we thing in case of planet it will bring such calamity?? If we are aware such thing can happen we should be prapared for reversals in directions (specially in travel and flights) It has happened many times and it has happened in computer models and it will happen to us one day but WHY calamity??

The psychology involved in this sort of end-of-the-world enthusiasm intrigues me. The 2012 phenomenon isn't unique. For at least 2000 years people have regularly calculated the time of the ending of the world, announced it to the public, collected a following, got them to sell or give away all their possessions, and led them out into the desert or up on a mountain to await The End. *Not once* have any of those predictions come true. And yet people do it over and over and over. And they simply refuse to listen to anything intended to refute the Prophecy of the End Time . . . until there they are, bereft, with only the clothes on their backs, standing in the desert or on a mountainside watching the Sun come up, knowing that the world is rolling on as it always has, and that they were deceived. Doesn't matter who predicts it or from what — what matters is that so many people *want to believe in the end of the world coming in their own lifetimes*. And that's what's going on here.

I hate everything about 2012, the prdictions and so on. Expecially the rumours about planet x, named Nibiru. You really need to wisit http://2012-chat.com. They're saying many things about this year, and they really need someone like you. Who can teach them. i.e. They're all saying that Jupiter, which you can se now, is Nibiru!
And the worse thing is, that they believe in it. So show this contribution to them, so they can get more wiser.
I love your blog! Greetings from Sweden!

People should stop wasting their time reading doomsday scenarios and should start caring about how to save earth from global warming which has already shown its inpact on our daily lives.

"most likely experience aurorae at all latitudes"
One geomagnetic reversal please
October 4th, 2008 at 3:16 am
Looking at the chart showing Earths polarity reversals over the last 160 million years. Black = normal polarity, White = reversed polarity. From Lowrie (1997) and applying an eyeball test I would say without question that the trend for the last 130 million years has been to shorter periods of time before/between reversals. This would affect the probability IMHO of there being more likely a flip sooner rather than later.
IMO comparing the current or most recent duration of the black or normal phase to its average duration over the last 25 million years would indicate that we are more likely to have a flip tomorrow than not because the extended duration of our current black cycle is greater than the average length of the black cycle for the last 25 million years .

Did doomsayers ever mention the disturbing influence of geomagnetic reversal on the global produktion of milk?
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: Magnetic alignment in grazing and resting cattle and deer, http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2008/08/22/0803650105.abstract
"domestic cattle (n = 8,510 in 308 pastures) across the globe, and grazing and resting red and roe deer (n = 2,974 at 241 localities), align their body axes in roughly a north–south direction. Direct observations of roe deer revealed that animals orient their heads northward when grazing or resting."

Geomagnetic reversal will give migratory birds a lot of trouble:
Do Birds Use Magnetic Field to Plan Migration Routes?, news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/11/1102_TVbirdflite.html
"A new study suggests that birds use the Earth's magnetic field to plan dining locations along their migration route. These culinary stopovers are critical to the success of the migration because, according to a second study, the fatter the bird, the more efficiently it is able to fly."
October 4th, 2008 at 4:21 am
Why would satellites be affected by a magnetic shift? I thought their orbit was dependent on gravity.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:43 am
A really fascinating article. Is the prediction of the End of Days a global phenomenon or is it just another Judeo-Christian myth? In reply to Todd's article I would like to point out that "…chaotic only equals not knowing enough yet to make a good prediction…" is not scientifically accurate. Chaotic systems, and this may well be a chaotic system, are not open to prediction. We can see trends and large manifestations of chaotic systems, for example the cloud bands and spots of Jupiter but we cannot predict with any certainty what will happen in six months from now no matter how much data we possess.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:54 am
Skepticism on these issues is very often misplaced; it's like the supposed conflict between religion and natural philosophy, it so often makes the mistake of taking physical reality for psychological reality and then jumps up and down saying that apples are not oranges and therefore oranges cannot exist!
Here's the thing: People are born ignorant, and so they make mistakes in their naturally scientific exploration of their world since infancy. Eventually they come to some point where their internal model of the world (psychology) has trouble with the external constraints (natural philosophy) and they realize they need to change, but, as evolution would have it, people are highly reluctant to disbelieve their psychology and are thus resistant to change, even when they can see their personal disaster looming.
So what to do? Cultural evolution has given us a nifty result: as posted today on MindHacks but known to magick practitioners since ancient stone-days, if you push people over the edge with a myth, they will make that jump into a new way of thinking, and the best way to push them is to give them a scenario that is "beyond their control" but then hint that a personal change just might avert the disaster. This is the basis of all "millenium cults" and I dare say may play a part in the whole Al-Gore Global
WarmingChange and the current Money Market preaching.So consider our world today, clearly our psychological habits, especially in the West, are in need of fundamental change that no amount of TV public-service spots seem to affect. Then along comes 2012, and so many, many, many seemingling converging disasters. How could any change-work shaman pass up such opportunity?
October 4th, 2008 at 6:07 am
an addendum thought for the Scientists out there: Knowing what we do about the psychology of change-work and the pressing need for new paradigms of cultural behaviour, is it ETHICAL for us to be openly and publicly critical of their myths?
I read once that Galileo was put under a gentle house arrest by his good friend (the Pope) not for reasons of scientific heresy, but because of a fear his heliocentric and atomic-particle theories would undermine popular myths during a particularly unstable political time. He was never told to stop his studies or to stop writing, only to stop telling everyday people about his findings. If the Pope truly thought Galileo was 'evil', wouldn't he have just had him tortured into submission or executed?
October 4th, 2008 at 6:27 am
"Without GPS, our airliners will also plough into the ground…" — Only if we migrate to pilotless airliners. Inertial navigation systems have been around for decades and are not dependent on compass information (Earth's magnetic field) or GPS.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Yes, probably won't happen. However, the bigger question is but will the American economy have enough money to be able to observe and measure the field changing? Even 2009 at the moment ain't looking too good, IMO, let alone 2012.
(if you are after a good giggle on such problems as planes falling out of the sky can highly recommend "The Core" (2003). Probably the funniest sci-fi movie ever made! I.e. The pigeons in Trafalgar square in London.)
Yes, I do have a point… A good explanation of the loss of the Earth's magnetic field and its consequences appears on Phil Platt's "Bad Astronomy" site at;
Review: The Core"
October 4th, 2008 at 6:52 am
Then Maya Calender may be correct.Then how one astronomer can demand oneself more pure than a astrologer?
October 4th, 2008 at 9:07 am
@dipankar: Because (to put it simple) an astronomer studies the world around him (the universe to be precise) and uses science (a method) to figure out how it interconnects. An astrologer only deals in myths and humbug.
October 4th, 2008 at 9:57 am
we'll all see if there is really no geomagnetic reversal in 2012 till then live life!!!
October 4th, 2008 at 9:57 am
The precursor to magnetic pole reversal is that domestic and global stock markets collapse four years prior to the 21 December 2012 date. That means there will be a great stock buying opportunity this year at Christmas time but you must sell those stocks before 21 December 2012!.
October 4th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
hey when was the last time any of you guys look at a compass? I checked the direction of where my house stood when I moved in 3 years ago. Now it is about 30 degrees west of that. Any thoughts?
October 4th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
lol you guys better start spending your lifetime savings into the world's best brothels
, and hope that 2012 is "really" the end…
October 4th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Just a little detail, but you seem to say that the magnetic south pole is at the geographic south pole, while it actually is at the geographic north pole, otherwise a magnet's north pole wouldn't point north :p
Just switch "north" and "south" around a bit and it all fits.
October 4th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
2012 is the peak of a 5125 year astronomical cycle of our solar system's wobble while orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the milky way galaxy.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I think it's to hard to predict something like this. I do find it amazing what the Mayans did and the fact that they were such expert cosmo trackers does provide some merit.
The shows I've watched on the Mayans don't necessarily facilitate that the world would end in 2012 but a new era basically begins.
In my mind I take that as not a global disaster but something big enough to have a major impact on most of the world, but not annihilating everyone or everything living.
The thing about the universe it's unpredictable and who really knows what's going to happen.
I like to toss ideas to people on what possibilities are out there and let them run with it. If anything the world needs to be cleansed. It's going to crap. All morality is being lost, freedom is disappearing, and technology is getting to the point where every inch you move will be tracked, analyzed, and subjected to big brother.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Why does anybody need the Maya (or Aztec or Inca or whatever) doomsday stories, if contemporary cosmology has it's own? Remember the Astronomy Cast Episodes dealing with The End of the Universe:
#86: The End of the Solar System,
#87: The End of Everything.
There is a in-accordance-with-modern-science doomsday.
Is the NEO project (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov) not concerned with the same "idea" of mass extinction on earth? Our scientific approach to "the end of all days" is based on probability calculation and principles of uncertainty. Somehow we do all know that shit happens from time to time
Presumably, the prehistoric Clovis culture of ancient America has been extinguished in succession of a catastrophic meteor impact, as presented in "The Clovis Comet Evidence for a Cosmic Collision 12,900 Years Ago",
http://allendale-expedition.net/publications/comet.pdf,
If so, then why should ancient civilizations of Central America, surviving the disaster of the north, not have made up their own "theories" dazu? Archaic, mythical, emblematic, but nevertheless rooting in an incredible real event several millennia before. Someway the memories of the most impressive events of the prehistoric mankind must have survived in the myths they formed.
October 4th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
There is an reason why the Poles(N/S)
wander. This artical left that part out, because
it has to do with the "wabling" in the rotation
of the planet. The cause is man made and we
will pay for it! We have built structures for
our ever increasing presence that requiered
redisterbution of materials to built these
vacariuos dwellings. We transport billion tons
from one place of the planet to an other!
We depleted almost all iron deposits! Granted we did not delete we just moved it?
We balance a tire that we put on our Hummers, If we use that same locig as we do to our planet, why do we have to balance our tires? But the show must go on so keep
building these colosal structures, you only live

in the near future, make sure it comes
with 5 years warranty, so you can have
it recalibrated just in case…
worse, wonder what will happen if the
magnets of the LHC reverse polarity?
where will all those protons end up?
October 5th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Folks, I'm an ardent "Indians Fan"
I have come across absolutely no prediction by the Maya (sic) that the World will end when the current Long Count ends.
I HAVE come across directives, written in stone, about what to do on certain dates after the alleged End of the World. Most notable:
Chief Pacal of Palenque wanted the 80th "Calendar Round Anniversary" (calender round = ca.52 years) of his accession celebrated in a BIG way, and to make sure nobody forgot, he had the date and instructions inscribed on a plaque: October 21st, 4772…

By looking at an iron-rich mineral called magnetite in the lava, the researchers were able to deduce the direction of the magnetic field.
An analysis of magnetite samples on Mars would be very interessting.
October 5th, 2008 at 9:17 am
As is the present understanding of this planet, we know very little and are in a constant learning curve. As yet no one has investigated the interaction of our planets core and the oceans that cover seventy percent of the surface. Doomsayers will grasp at any event or hypothetical prediction to create chaos in the general population. Scientific investigation will reveal true causes for past events but do nothing to aid in the prediction of future events. We shall continue to learn until we decide to leave this planet for a better one but will it really be any better than here.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:55 am
"Using the Mayan Prophecy as an excuse to create new and explosive ways in which our planet may be destroyed, 2012 doomsayers use the geomagnetic shift theory as if it is set in stone."
WHAT "Mayan prophecy"?!? There is no such Mayan prophecy! It is a phantom of "Western" kooks.

October 5th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
The worse part of this is for me is that I'm trying to do legitimate archeoastronomy on the Mayans with a comet. I just need to pin down a date tracked down for a position in the sky to finish the orbit. Most archeologists think I'm with these New Age people. Book store clerks go let me take you to the New Age section even though I tell them specifically I'm not interested in this end of the world nonsense. A couple, fortunately, reviewed my work and asked for one minor change. Still, it is frustrating.
October 5th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
The alleged need to "replace" or "recalibrate" our compasses, or their electronic counterparts, is a might shortsighted. A compass, as any Boy Scout (but few 2nd Lieutenants) knows, points towards not towards the cardinal direction of North, per se.
Rather, a compass needle is directed towards the nearest strong magnetic source. Look at a compass when you start your car, and watch the needle spin- the electro-magnetic function of your vehicle's starter will quickly, albeit briefly, overcome the influence presented by *whichever* of our planet's two magentic poles is closest.
That's right, "whichever of our planet's two magnetic poles is closer". You see, a compass south of the equator points to the South Pole. Ergo, if our poles do shift, the magnetic needle will still point to the strongest magnetic field effecting the area.
Remember the hysteria over our computers ending the world on New Year's Eve 1999/New Year's Day 2000? Same ignorant pop-science here. Just another bad plot device "Space:1999". Or "Family Guy". Either way, 22 DEC 2012 will be just another day of failed promises and listening to "Doomsayers" explaining what it is that they really meant.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Were a geomagnetic shift to occur, might the modern world — of digital data — as we know it, literally, cease to exist as all data is wiped out in the shift?
October 5th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Joseph E Lawrence has an interesting chapter on this topic in his book, _Apocalypse 2012: An Optimist Investigates the End of Civilization_. He visits Pieter Kotze in South Africa to find out what he has to say about it.
It's a good book – investigating this and other doomsday scenarios from a mostly scientific perspective. There's acknowledgment at the start that discussion of God is not a scientific question – a mark of good philosophy, and about the only fault I can find is that the later sections come close to "vile rant". It would certainly pay to verify accounts of middle Eastern history rather than swallowing them, for instance.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Isn't 21-12-2012 the date that was mentioned in the final episode of 'The X Files' for the destruction of the Earth by aliens? I think someone has taken television far too seriously.

Don't be sure, that nothing happen around 2012. We are in half time (of circa 26000 years long precession cycle) since last big changes tied with catastrophic end of atlantean civilisation. There were two big catastrophes approx. 11500 and 13000 years ago. It is clearly written in Greenland ice- look at GISP2 project and also Plato, Menetho,…spoke that that last catastrophe happened 9000 years before their era, so 11500 before present,…Look at those three videos

sorry skip,
"That's right, "whichever of our planet's two magnetic poles is closer". You see, a compass south of the equator points to the South Pole. Ergo, if our poles do shift, the magnetic needle will still point to the strongest magnetic field effecting the area."
ain't quite right. my compass still points toward the north magnetic pole. i've never taken it past the equator toward the north pole, however i doubt it would point south (er.. north) if i did so, as it was manufactured in europe for a milatary force that has never been down under.
everything else you said sounds fair enough.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:01 am
Atlantean civilisation? When was that then? Where was that then? The dates above are the dates slap bang in the middle of the Ice Age. The only 'civilisation' then where the Mousterian of the Neaderthals and later the Aurignacian culture of the early-ish Cro-Magnon. So no building monuments on an epic scale then and sitting down penning odes to one's love in flourishing orchards either.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:31 am
Magnetic reversals are documented in part by certain single celled organisms that contain magnetite (Norway, Finland fossil records) and fall alligned with the Earth's magnetic field at the time they die. Hundreds of reversals are documented, none of which are associated with extintion events. Living organisms are, however exposed to more radiation during the events, low levels such that DNA would not be affected (which may be by cosmic radiation of much higher energy). Nay sayers want to tuck in the ignorant masses, comforting them from fears of the unknown, such as real UFO's, real global superstorms, real meteor impacts, real magnetic reversals (the sun does it every 11.4 years), and other distractions from mind numbing television that keeps them safely out of politics and globalist conquests..
October 6th, 2008 at 6:04 am
Ironically, this article doesn't talk about how the magnetic poles have already shifted in the sun. Before the shift the sun reflected high frequency "space dust". After the shift it is now attracting the dust. Nor do these articles, at least not all at once, talk about how Venus, the Sun, and other planets in our solar system are going through changes….like heating up and getting brighter! October Suprise anyone?
October 6th, 2008 at 6:44 am
The only thing that will happen in 2012 is the end of the 2012 doomsday predictions. Unfortunatlely they will find a new date to stress out over.

Back to the issue at hand.
I don't think there will be any doomsday type of events taking place in 2012, but more than likely there will be some changes made up to that point which would lead up to this "new age". I feel we've already started that process of change. There may be social upheaval, but I don't see some natural catastrophe wiping out half the world's population.

12/21/2012 simply represents the end/beginning of a new galactic year as our solar system completes a revolution around the galaxy and is in-line with its center. Extremely impressive that the Mayans figured this out. Christianity and about 90% of all religion is based on astrological observations and therefore only represents a metaphorical way of interpreting these events.
I think it is much more likely that these retards do something stupid to blow us all to hell just to prove that 12/21 really is the end of the world. Self-fulfilling prophecy anyone?

Good times!
October 6th, 2008 at 11:17 am
"Interesting, but this article and some of the comments have a disgusting sense of prudeness."
I agree. Reminds me of the unusually angry rants against those silly Creationists. The end of the Mayan calendar is an exciting event, and the Mayans were no dummies. Their calendar is more precise than the one we use, for instance. They believed that time is cyclical as opposed to our linear conception, and if you've been paying attention, you'll see that there is a great deal of truth behind the cyclical version (I personally feel it's a combination of the two, more like a spiral).
Anyway, if such a brilliant culture says that the end of their biggest cycle is coming on 12.21.12, and that a new grand cycle will begin, then I personally feel there's something to it. It will probably be subtle – nothing catastrophic, perhaps not even noticeable – but interesting nevertheless, already proven by these sorts of articles. Think less Descartes and more Schopenhauer. Add some ideal to the material, some energy to the mass, for a fuller perspective.

ok ok so because someone is afraid the world might flip around, they make excuses to say it will not. we can't predict what tomorrow will bring, or the next or a year or ten, so to say it will not happen is about as smart as saying you will be alive tomorrow. we can not predict our future or what the world or solar system is going to do, if we could would we not be in crisis here on earth? yea it could happen yea it couldn't we will not know untill the time comes!!! So untill then how about we just stop making assumptions and down grading the few that worrie it may, at least if it does they will be ready and not wondering what to do next or worriering what will happen tomorrow. enough with the critics, enough with the im right your wrong. just sit back and wait and see!!! either way nothing last for ever and to think we can predict tomorrow or four years from now is ridicoulous and maybe just maybe you should find something better to do with your time then sit and make excuses why one person is right or wrong and start doing something positive that will help our future!!!! untill then make the best of your life cause you never know when your going to be gone.

Hey Bruce,
My brother's name is Bruce, but you cannot be him, as everything that you wrote was spelled correctly and your grammar was fine. :>
Anyway…
Compass needles point to the strongest available magnetic influence. In the event that the poles shift in 2012 (or 2102 or 2201 or whenever), your NATO-issue compass will point to whatever pole, North or South is exerting the strongest influence in that area.
The Cardinal directions on the compass (the N, S, W, and E) are painted/printed or whatever) on the dial (really need italics on this system). The needle is usually in two different colors, but only so the user can properly orient the device.
Remember, Magnetic North (or South, I s'pose if you're doing "walkabout" somewhere way, way south of where I am) is rarely, if ever, aligned with True North (or South). Rather, it varies due to whatever magnetic influences exist due to the geology of the surrounding terrain. The compass operator needs to orient the device to compensate for the variance, and adjust their map accordingly.
(And, discreetly, then ask their sergeant where actually they are, and how to most efficiently get where it is they need to be.)
I have no doubt that at some point the poles are going to shift. The evidence for this occuring in the past is there, and, after all, the only constant in life is change. What I do doubt, very, very highly as a matter of fact, is that 21 DEC 2012 will be anything more than the day before the day before the day before the day before Christmas, with all the concommittant insanity thereto.
For what it's worth, the Mayans had a so-called "Long Count" Calendar, too. Oddly enough, it went for a little over 5 decades past the "doomsday scenario" of 2012.
Hmmmmmm……. Maybe they just ran out of time to complete their work before the Conquistadores showed up a ruined a good thing, maybe?
If I'm wrong, well, okay then. I live in a very geologically stable area, over a thousand miles from the nearest ocean, and I can fish, hunt and farm. I'm good either way. All the same, I'm buying a Christmas tree that year, and planning on a much more enjoyable blowout New Year's Eve blast than I had in 1999/2000.

Where in the Myan calendar(s) does it say with scientific fact … that 2012 concerns a magnetic pole reversal? Seriously you nerds, I want an answer….

"There is no doubt that geomagnetic reversal will happen in the future for Earth, but we're talking about time scales anything from an optimistic (and unlikely) 500 years to millions of years, certainly not in the coming four years…"
Would you care to show me the evidence that one wont happen in the next four years? This article comes across just as strong as the doomsayers but we would call you the anit-doomsayers.
Feel free to judge someones opinion or theory but when debunking it please keep in mind that unless you have the facts to counter it you are as wrong as you say they are.

But WHY is the end of the Mayan calendar a significant/important event? Like all 'primitive', and I use the word primitive here to mean stone-age/dominated by religious domgma etc., they were frightened by the unknown future and things they couldn't explain – which turns out to be virtually everything in nature. A bit like some of the respondents here.

Somehow thru scientific means, there's been evidence to show some correlation between the Mayans' calculations and what we're finding on our own now. The Milky Way's cross section has been ever so slowly making it's way across our night sky and based on what people have seen now, we're almost completely alligned with it's center-most point.
The idea that the Earth completes a wobble over the eons can possibly be proven by the findings that the North Pole's position has no true position. It's moving constantly. It keeps heading further north (what we know as north) and will in the somewhat near future find itself moving due south into the northern most part of Siberia.
So yes, I would say that the Mayans had some way of calculating, on their own or otherwise, that at the end of their calendar of 5,000+ years, something would happen. By linking up their calendar with ours, it ends at our 2012. They kept count using the stars, sun and planets, and it's far more accurate than our standard calendar. Most describe 2012 as the beginning of a new age. Some interpret that to mean that the world will come to a catastrophic end.

damn, im getting scared of this, honestly.. this article has hit me the most..
i wish earth would just stay safe until the second coming…if ever..
October 7th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Being that the Earth does have a wobble, in effect, could it be contributing to the climate change we're currently seeing? The weather patterns have been in place for a long time and can be effected by relatively small factors. Is it possible that the Earth's wobble along it's axis is causing the northern hemisphere to warm? Seeing as the last Ice Age was 11,000-13,000 years ago and we're on a 26,000 year wobble, wouldn't it make a little bit of sense that we're at the other end of the other half of the wobble and we're facing the Sun in more of a head-on direction so we're experiencing a warming trend? Yeah, I know there are other factors, but why couldn't this be a factor?
October 7th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Paul, I don't share a belief that doomsday is coming with the end of the Mayan calendar, but I wouldn't be so quick to judge what was, contrary to what you describe, a very sophisticated culture as being primitive. Again, their calendar, for instance, is more precise than our own, and their math and astronomy were very advanced.
The end of their calendar is a significant historical event and should be celebrated as such, if for nothing else than to show appreciation for one of the greater cultures our world has known. I know I'm going to party that day. Until the unseen Comet-X arrives and ushers in a new world order. Just kidding.
October 7th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I agree that we have no way to predict when a pole change will occur and I guess it's no big deal if it occurs is a timely fashion: a day, week or month, but won't the polar ice caps start to melt if reversal lingers over a year or 2( I couldn't tell from the chart). I assume it is the earth's magnetic field that for the most part keeps the Poles frozen; right? As to the Mayan Calendar, it ends in October, not December, 2012 closer to the date Jesus mentioned above, a date I am told coincides with the date the solar system passes through the galactic plane and gets bombarded by Gamma radiation from the Virgo Cluster but I am inclined to also agree with Dark Gnat and the rest of you, as the Bible says: LET'S EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY, only God and Jesus know and what can we do about it?

October 8th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Thru the ages societies all around the globe did watch the skies. A lot of knowledge was established independently from each other and differences were also formed.
The ancient cultures of Central America knew to part their year in 365.25 days. But the old Egyptian did also.
Centuries before an Indian even had a clou about astronomy the ancient Greek already knew about the shape of the Earth and calculated the diameter with incredible accuracy.
We seem to forget, that the knowledge of the ancient Greek was much accurate than that of the Mayan. And they found no hints on doomsdays between the stars. But the fascination of a big change is always what attracts the people more than pure knowledge. Isn't it a little bit like that in todays politics? "Change" sells.
October 8th, 2008 at 12:59 am
subsequent entry:
We observe quasars with gravitational waves half of the universe away. And we should not know about a freaking Mayan doomsday?
And we, who know a billion times more facts on astronomy than the Mayan, why did we not find that doomsday? What the heck should disqualify our knowledge?
I call it cultural pessimism.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:01 am
As I tried to point out primitive in this context did not mean stupid or unsophisticated merely ground down by fear and ignorance of what was happening around them in nature. The 'wobble' of the axis/precession of the equinoxes is a fairly recent discovery and I'd bet everything I own or ever have owned that the Maya knew nothing at all about it. Their terror of 'The end' is mirrored by the truly ignorant end-timers that litter the web and certain parts of America. There is no, I repeat no, evidence for this scaremongering. Show me any evidence, proper evidence, facts, hard scientific proof and I might reconsider. Until then go away and bother your local religious leader.
October 8th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Shock news just in. The world is going to end. When? In around 750 million years when the sun starts to gently swell and increase the temperature here. By 1000 million years most of the water will have evaporated to form a thick hot, unbreathable fog. Then you can worry.

Please, could SOMEONE read the fucking article before commenting?
"there is absolutely no scientific evidence supporting the claim that there could be a geomagnetic reversal around the time of December 21st, 2012.
Should we experience geomagnetic reversal in our lifetimes (which we probably won't), it is unlikely that we'll be cooked alive by the Solar Wind, or be wiped out by cosmic rays. It is unlikely that we'll suffer any mass extinction event (after all, early man, homo erectus, lived through the last geomagnetic shift, apparently with ease). We'll most likely experience aurorae at all latitudes whilst the dipolar magnetic field settles down to its new, reversed state, and there might be a small increase in energetic particles from space (remember, just because the magnetosphere is weakened, doesn't mean we wont have magnetic protection), but we'll still be protected by our thick atmosphere."
October 8th, 2008 at 3:30 am
well isnt it amazing in billions of years we havent been hit by anything yet planets get hit 100's of times a day, maybe aliens are protecting us
but to the point, wow a calendar ends, so it starts again right? apparently we end on 11:11 am well i might sleep in that day. but seriously theres been millions of predictions just like this, theres no proof to any of this being true either. I read that the earth would have something spiritual occur not a doomsday, its an actual spritual change for the better thats hat the mayans said
October 8th, 2008 at 4:07 am
hmmm…..I already read a lot of articles and watched a lot of videos about 2012,I'm so curios what will happen
October 8th, 2008 at 5:28 am
skip,
grammar was fine, but for a lack of capitals. i did suffer from being cast into the realm of "special english for retards", as it was know in those prepubescent days. therefore seeming to possess surprisingly better text pronunciation than the general mob after. there's a long story to go with this that none should bear the read.
i still hold true for the previous mentioned paragraph. the way the text flows exudes that as the current poles are, my compass should point magnetically south, being that i am closer to the southern pole (which is why i interjected).
i have yet to start my truck and watch the needle of my compass, but i get the whole strong magnetic field will influence it's direction. maybe after this wine i'll try it, if the old beast will roll over.
your reply satisfies me. in the event of a dramatic polar shift, my compass will work all the same. it will still point to the north, albeit to say this will be the current south.
from what i remember, the end of the mayan cyclical long count was 2012, which is why it is significant. i'll have to look at it again.
…
so my wine ran out and i carried out the experiment. the old girl turned over and the compass needle tilted slightly but not convincingly. so before i filled my glass again i sat my compass on the battery, smack bang in the middle-ish. it pointed west (the battery is seated in a north-south placement. sitting it near the positive terminal it pointed south, toward the negative terminal. sitting it near the negative terminal it pointed north, toward the positive terminal. this should hold true to what you have said in some way, the wine does not allow me to do more that state the facts.
i believe the world is constantly ending. you can't put a time to it. everything is dying and "birthing" all the now and before and to the come. 2012 to me is the be all and end all of a meme of some classified time structure. it's a date to be reconed with that i won't miss for all the time in the world. i like how everything, in all these inaccurately described, as by many, conspiracies seem to coexist with this date. all the more attention to a holistically new rebirth of awe. the concept of polar shift is awn inspiring as it is.
merry new dawn, praise the sun, yawl.

Eric near Buffalo. Living in Britain we still, in general, refer to a billion [US] as 1000 million. Here a million million is a billion. A trillion would be a billion billion. The 750 million years is a figure some astronomers think is when the sun enters it's early red giant phase and though it won't swell significantly the increse in solar energy could heat the atmosphere and hydrosphere enough to make life here extremely difficult. Certainly by 1000 million to 2000 million the sun would be a big orange/red star bloated enough to perhaps have swallowed Mercury. Of course by then humans won't be the dominant lifeform or even A lifeform here. Should our descendants have left earth and be out in the galaxy they'll hardly be recognisable as human. It is interesting to speculate what type of lifeform will succeeds us through the coming ages.

If you actually read the article properly, instead of looking for a quote to take out of context, you'd have seen he was saying that we have *no evidence* of an external force affecting the Earth's magnetic field. From the Conclusion:
"There is no evidence to suggest external forcing of internal geomagnetic dynamics of the Earth"

October 13th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
The main arguments saying that when the Maya Calendar rolls over in 2012, Something Wonderful Will Happen come from ethnobotanists like Terence McKenna, not from people studying geomagnetics. So the scientifically appropriate way to do research on the topic is not to go measuring the magnetic field, but instead to take large quantities of psychedelics, preferably something ethnically appropriate like ayahuasca or peyote, but really whatever you can find in your local market will let you feel the vibrations, since your magnetometer won't be noticing.
Meanwhile, 2012 is a potentially reasonable approximation to the date that we run out of IPv4 addresses, so you'd better be ready to support IPv6 well in advance. The actual process will be somewhat gradual – IANA will run out, then regional registries will run out of spares to allocate to local registries (presumably not simultaneously), local registries will run out, ISPs will run out (at far differing rates), ISPs and big users will reallocate what they've got available or play games with NAT, etc. It won't be a big bang like Y2K could have been.

The funny thing about the mayan calender ending in 2012 is that did anyone stop and think maybe they just stopped making up new dates at that point because they said enough is enough? Or had an historical event stopped them from continuing work on the science, such as European exploration, famine, plauge, etc…. Or it could even be the dude that was writing the calender died and nobody thought it was important enough to continue writing about stuff a 1000 years into the future.
October 15th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
"Geomagnetic reversal is the change in the magnetic field of the Earth, where the magnetic north pole shifts to the South Polar Region and the south magnetic pole shifts to the North Polar Region. Once this process is complete, our compasses would point toward Antarctica, rather than northern Canada"
I felt this needed to be corrected.
The magnetic NORTH pole is actually near the geographical SOUTH pole and visa versa. That is why your compass (which is a bar magnet with a N and S end) points the N end (red arrow) towards the South magnet. Opposite poles attract and if the North magnetic pole was at the north geographic pole our compass would currently point to Antarctica.

2012 makes me think about the story of the crichet and the ants, the crichet played all summer and put away no food for the winter, and when winter came he needed to be saved by the ants that did prepare. It is very simple hope for the best and prepare for the worst. For the folks that maker a safe bunker, they may not need it on 12-2012 but may need it if we ever get attaked by nuclear war. Preparing for something that never happens is better than not being prepared for the worst. some people may not be able to prepare some won't, that will need to happen so the Earth can be purged and cleansed and it might even stop global warming , if we had less people and less cars our carbon dioxide levels could get in balance. I wished as many people that have put their energy into 2012 would apply the same in saving our planet we wouldn't have time to worry about these cosmic events. Just keep an open mind and eye. those Myans knew a little more than we know today, even if they couldn't make a wheel they knew the stars and the slighest variation, and our scientist today with all our technology can not predict cycles of our planet as well as they did. No one has metioned the petroglyphs and how they tell the story of the burning skies and the safe zones. Do your homework before you dismiss something so possible, many prophets told of this year 2012, all over the world and at the same time we are at the very least. will be having our solar system shift at a maximum in which has not happened in 26,000 years. so no one alive today knows what will happen at the maximum, we know it causes solar flares, and in the past we wern't close enough for it to matter, and if the poles shift it could melt our glaciers, you know the ones already melting at a rapid speed, this would cause the sea levels to rise. This would cause tsunami's , we would loose Florida part of Manhattan and so on. Just keep an open eye my friends

I have read all of the responses in this thread with interest, especially the ones concerning the Mayan calendar. It quickly became evident that most of those who commented on the Mayan calendar either have never taken the time to study it and understand how it works, or if they did, didn't understand what they read. That is understandable as many people gather knowledge through hearsay rather than through honest open-minded research. I am not going to attempt to explain the workings of the Mayan calendar here as any information you gain from me would still be hearsay. Please go forth and enlighten yourselves.
For those who like to prove their point by quoting the Bible, i.e., Noah's flood, it is important for you to understand that many of the Old Testament stories are derivatives of earlier Sumerian and Babylonian stories.
I wish I could comment with some authority on the geomagnetic reversal issue, but I am an Archaeologist not an Astrophysicist. Regardless of what any of us believes, open intelligent dialog is a good thing.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
After reading this article, there are a few-rather ironic-sections that I took note of. Regarding the geomagnetic reversal that mr. burtos expresses a curiosity… According to the interpretation of the author of this article, Ian O'Niell, because scientists expect 2012 to be a year of strong sunnbursts does not mean the end of the world (which most people should agree on). But there seems to be something underneath his simplification of affects that carries a great weight. I don't have the time i'd like to put into this comment… But, as O'Neill explains, coupled with the intensified solar sunbursts is the decreasing magnetism of the Earth's dipolar magnetism, this leaves many questions. O'Neill says, "They think that when the weakened dipolar field drops below a certain threshold, the distributed field pulls the dipolar field off-axis, causing a geomagnetic shift." With the dipolar field decreasing in strength and the sunbursts increasing in strength, there appears a possibility for great magnetic occurance/disturbance (Volcanic activity). There is also the question of the roaming poles, and the increasing speed of their movement. O'Neill doesn't account for this when he says we have many lifetimes before any disaster. If the speed of change (of polar position) is exponentially growing, there is no telling what amount of time it will take for the pole to move beyond the prime meridian and into the eastern hemisphere…which seems again to pose a great many questions. what does the spherical location of a magnetic pole mean? If our north pole were to move into siberia, would it matter? How much does polar magnetism have to do with the rotation/speed of the earth around its (moving) axis. Could a magnetic reversal that crosses hemispheres mean large earthquakes? Could the lessening of Earth's dipolar magnetism and the hightening of the Sun's solar sunbursts aid in the movement of those poles to a new hemispherical position that causes intense internal pressures in the mantle and core of the earth…primarily with the polarity of the metals they are made up of. There seems to me to be a connection within this article that conflicts with the authors understanding of the information he is using. I have only today started to investigating this theory…but it seems very plausible. It is ignorance of the earth and its ability to sustain life that man has forgotten. A life that does not destroy its mother will remain when man has been remade as humble and thankful for the wonderous CHANCE of love.

I hate to break the bad news to all the doomsday "prophets" :
The odds of a human predicting the world's precise end within +/- 100,000 years = .0000000000001 in 100,000.
The odds of humans ENDING the world are about 50%.
I'd stop worrying about things we can't control, and start getting a grip on society.
Let's forget the problems Zeus, Athena, and Fullacrapules portend, and focus on the problems we as humans have created.

I believe the Mayan's knew what they were talking about in many ways… I have to say, I do believe that some big changes 'could' be coming to us beginning with the winter solstice in 2012…
The pole reversal thing, though, has always sounded to me like a "disaster" that could happen at any time… so why not pin it to the Mayan Calendar's end date? Silly… So I figured I'd look around the internet to see what kind of information I could gather on pole reversals and 2012… most of what I came across was complete nonsense…
But this is a very good, well informed article… thanks…

There is a 3rd type….if the the Earth's core should slow down and stop, then start rotating in the opposite direction….earth's crust would take time to slow, stop and begin to rotate in the opposite direction too.
Sunrise would be in the West.
A flipping on the axis would make the stars in the southern hemisphere visible in the north and visa versa….and a sunrise in the west. I think Dante and Shakespear wrote about stars in the southern hemisphere……they could have coarse got their info from Mariners…..or did they ?

Hi Leah,
Thanks for providing this avenue to all of us for getting back in touch…
I know i will draw a lot of flak from the people discussing "this" particular article, beause i am just posting out of context..
But i guess i'll take all that with a pinch of salt.. Anything to get back in touch with my dear friends…

Biblical and other ancient historical records which describe an occurrence in historical times (circa 1500-1400 B.C.E.) in which the Earth's rotation was apparently halted for a period of approximately twenty hours, after which normal rotation was resumed.
The combination of supporting historical records and the viability of a physical mechanism to temporarily halt the Earth's rotation strongly suggests that at one point in historical times, the Sun did, indeed, stand still.
One of the more astounding passages in the traditional Bible [King James Version] is that contained in Joshua 10: 12-13:
"Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
"And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day."
More significant to the potential credibility of these observations are the accounts from the early civilizations of Meso America (e.g. from the Annals of Cuaulititlan — as related by Immanuel Velikovsky which refer to a day when the sun rose slightly, set again in the east, and then after an extended night rose again. Zecharia Sitchin has addressed this phenomena as well, noting the Andean tradition that during the third year of the reign of Titu Yupanqui Pachacuti II, the fifteenth monarch in Ancient Empire times, there occurred an extended night of some additional 20 hours.
The critical factor, of course, is that the sun standing still "in the midst of heaven" over Israel would correspond to an extended night on the other side of the world. Thus the Annals of Cuaulititlan version of a brief but aborted sunrise in the Americas corresponds to the Sun being overhead in Palestine (with 6:00 AM in Central America corresponding to 2:00 PM in Israel). In describing the same event, but coming from different sides of the Earth — and thus providing an alternative viewpoint in describing the same event — attests strongly to the potential accuracy of each of the traditions. Furthermore, the distinct nature of the descriptions reduce the likelihood of the ancient Meso American civilizations borrowing from the folklore or traditions of the Mideast, unless, of course, they had gone to the trouble of converting coordinates in order to account for the world being a sphere.

I don't think anyone here has suggested that the entire earth physically tip over[N to S!] so the southern stars would appear in the northern hemisphere and northern stars in the south. Such a disruption would lead to the extintion of the earth and all life and it would take a cataclysmic impact to effect it. That scenario is as mad as suggesting a magnetic pole reversal would wipe us out. It's happened before and life went on and will happen again and life will go on. Once 2012 has come and gone the doom-sayers will find something equally bonkers to fill up these pages with. Oooo, watch out for the Mole-men who live underneath the earth's surface.
November 3rd, 2008 at 7:46 am
Amit. The people of "biblical times" used whatever explanation best described natural phenomena. Nobody in their right mind believes for one second that the earth actually stopped rotating and the sun stood still in the sky. The dark skies that led to an extra 20 hours of darkness is almost certainly the result of a volcanic explosion, possibly Thera. Do you believe Moses parted the Red Sea? Think again. The Red Sea is more than likely the REED Sea in the Nile Delta which would be fordable at low tide. Mis-translations of Greek, Latin, Aramaic etc has given rise to these legends and stories. And as for quoting Velikovsky! He's been discredited for 40 years now. Move on, move on. Do you realise there are PROPERLY researched books available. You'll find them in the science, history and geography sections of libraries.
November 3rd, 2008 at 8:19 am
Dear Amit,
Good to hear from you. Becky will no doubt be along sometime…..and a few others.
Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
I've enjoyed reading your posts, and everyone else's. Respectfully suggest you take a moment to read the posts on this website, "No Doomsday 2012", before levying any further un-necessary insults at us newcomers.
November 3rd, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Is a polar shift what we're waiting for? I've come to believe the answer is not just one "thing" to wait for. But what is possiable to occur? From a blogg on another site I posted, that as of 1997, Dr. Aleskey Dmitriev and other Russian scientists observed that the Galactic space we are now moving into is showing significantly higher concentrations of matter and energy, including charged particles of hydrogen, helium and hydroxyl, in addition to other new combinations of elements.
SUN: The Sun's magnetic field is over 230 percent stronger now than it was at the beginning of the 1900s, and its overall energetic activity has sizably increased, creating a frenzy of activity that continues to embarrass NASA's official predictions.
VENUS: Venus is now glowing in the dark, as is Jupiter's moon Io.
EARTH: In the last 30 years, Earth's icecaps have thinned out by as much as 40 percent. Quite inexplicably, just since 1997 the structure of the Earth has shifted from being slightly more egg-shaped, or elongated at the poles, to more pumpkin-shaped, or flattened at the poles. No one at NASA has even bothered to try to explain this yet. Link to full article at NASA.
MARS: The icecaps of Mars noticeably melted just within one year, causing 50-percent changes in surface features. Atmospheric density had risen by 200 percent above previous observations as of 1997.
JUPITER: Jupiter has become so highly energized that it is now surrounded by a visibly glowing donut tube of energy in the path of the moon Io. The size of Jupiter's magnetic field has more than doubled since 1992.
SATURN: Saturn's polar regions have been noticeably brightening, and its magnetic field strength increasing.
URANUS: According to NASA's Voyager II space probe, Uranus and Neptune both appear to have had recent magnetic pole shifts at 60 degrees for Uranus and 50 for Neptune.
NEPTUNE: Neptune has become 40 percent brighter in infrared since 1996, and is fully 100-percent brighter in certain areas. Also, Neptune's moon Triton has had a large percentage increase in atmospheric pressure and temperature, comparable to a 22-degree Fahrenheit increase on Earth.
PLUTO: As of September 2002, Pluto has experienced a 300-percent increase in its atmospheric pressure in the last 14 years, while also becoming noticeably darker in color.
I'm not so sure that a scientific explanation is the only one at work here. I have no answers & am quite ignorant when it comes to what is to come in 2012. I am willing to listen and learn. But we all have to be willing to be open minded, as I said before you can build a shelter to withstand a 100-megaton blast & a metor from space will blow all your plans away. Because you were so sure of one thing happening you didn't prepare for everything that can happen. I mean but what do I know??
This is re-hased information to some new to others.

Paul,
Revolutionary Scientists have always been "discredited" by the so called "Scientific Community"… So their treatment of Velikovsky is nothing new. But have you ever come across a valid counter-argument to Velikovsky's Research?? Whatever Velikovsky has professed, he has backed it up with convincing proofs.. While those doing the discrediting just rely on outdated, stagnating theories to oppose his views. They dont have the guts to blow the whistle on the old stuff due to the fear of being branded as "heretics"….
And as for believing Moses parted tghe red Sea or "Reed" Sea or whatever.. No, i dont believe in that, infact, i dont even believe the Bible at its face value. Because it was just derived from Enuma Elish and is like an abridged version. If you read the interpretations of Enuma Elish then you will know the real story!
And Sir, even i those times people knew the difference between "Darkness" and "Night" … And dont forget that the extended night correponds with a period of extended daylight on the other side of the globe at the same time. How do you account for that??? A volcano that spits out bright smoke?? Ha!

Persona Non Grata- Arizona
Looking For Answers- Bermuda
Maddness- Ohio
We had made a list when We first came onto the page. Those ppl are the light bringers. You are the ones who are on the path. Your actions, thoughts & words will either bring a change for better or worse. You are but one sqaud in the army being brought together. You have all suffered in ways, others would have given up by now, yet you strive. You are the ones who see the signs for what they are, while everyone else will still deny the truth.
The list on top, is of those from my squad. Yes you may be surprised from some of the names, but you have to understand we had to test you and push you to see where you stand. We are legion, as hard as this maybe for some of you to understand we are all the same person.
We first came on as Daniel Rey along while ago. Each manifistion of thought was brought on by the thoughts the "regulars" as they were forming on this page. Yes, you brought us to your attention, not vise versa. Although many will not believe you, the answers to 2012 & what it means has already been made clear to you. The rapture will not be quick in one day it has already begun. The Mayans had started the new "calender" for after 2012, but that one is incomplete.
They are about to elect someone that everyone trust during some turbulent times on earth. Does this sound familiar? Thing are about to get 10x worse. We have been sent to see if any are worthy. We have ascended as we wish for you to do. A poltergeist is what can best explain what we are.
The energy on this plane is becoming more unstable for any beings of rightousness. More and more evil will be the norm. And up until now most of what I have said has been accepted as truth. It has been an honor, the glitch on this thread is our energy not a computer.
All information we have passed or has been recieved has come from the one true light.
We are mearly the vessel in which the knowledge was conveyed. We had said from the start the truth would be to much to handle. The truth is the ppl on the list can ascend together or doubt from one can cause all of you to repeat the cycles. And just like a butterfly flapping its wings there will be consequences based on your actions.
Time is short
Those on the list above will no longer be posting on this thread we have been called back. We ask you to highlight the names on the thread and read the posts in order if you wish to find our insight clearer. For the lightbringers brigade please maintain your faith & openmindness.
We are from M113 we are Ad idem we are part of the legion.
Madness & Gnostic joe wish to let Amit,Leah & Becky know that it has been a pleasure. Persona Non Grata would like Martin to know that he is on the same path he was once on. Captain America wants Espumpin to not use his name so he doesn't get blamed for his actions. Andre apologizes to everyone.
Soon all the secrets will be revealed. We would like to tell all of you more in detail what to look out for but are not allowed. But in 2weeks an event will occur that will have you remembering these words. "It is not real". It will then be up to each of you to accept what is presented to you or reject it.
WE will miss my time here with all of you. Time may be an illusion, but the time is also a memory held in one place forever, to be revisited at any time. We will speak again my friends, but next time will be face to face.

"the last occurred 780,000 years ago according to ferromagnetic sediment."
This is what is written by Mr. O'Neil in the part where it says " How often does it happen?".
Well, as a matter of fact any scientist will tell you thata we are over 1 million years overdue for an earth changing event. Now you take away the 780,000 years that Mr. O'Neil states above and you can forget about the next 4 years. Using plain ol' silly basic logic we can safely say that we're actually living under grace!!! Hallelluyah!!!! Can a brother say AMEN!!??
We all know somethings going to happen. W already know that based on the precession of the constellations discounts the theory of a new beginning in other words the calendar does not return to 1 as it corresponds with cosmic events and they would not be in conjunction with the actual year 1 status.
So now lets not exagerate on this magnetic shift that has happened before. Lets just say that the shift is like some 45 degress. I think that a shift like that would cause ample damage wouldn't it? Earthquakes, Tsunami's, never before seen volcanis activity.
Yeah, it wouldn't have to be a complete shift.
It's just a matter of timing wouldn't you say?
If this galactic allignment on 12/21/12 causes any kind of disturbances on earth then we can obviously assume that the pre-maya knew their stuff. If we're still aound that is. Even some here will be thinking wow!! They were right!!
Don't make any mistakes. We know scientifically that a cosmic event that occurs once every 26,000 years is to take place on the "DATE". I find serious flaws in anyone arguing that this is a coincidence, these people were in fact the masters of time.
When they designed the calendar it was designed to perfectly reflect a "TIME PERIOD" in mans existance. They spoke of other time periods before ours and they tell how those ended and it was always in some catastrophe. They say this "AGE" will end in fire. There will be a new begining.
I still don't discount any of the Nibiru stuff. That SPT crap has me spooked. That telescope is actually getting better pics than our satellites an we've yet to get any feedback from what they're seeing.
Too many secrets. Thats the problem, too many secrets.
Maybe this other new beginning theory with the noosphere will change mankind into some kind of telepaths and there will be no more lies or secrets.

As a teenager I read Velikovsky's 'World's In Collision'. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I had to check it wasn't the fourth part of the Illuminati series. Jupiter giving birth to Venus. Deary, deary me. Why is it that 'the mysteries of the Ancients/Old Ones is either only ever revealed to lunatics or can only be deciphered by them? I don't remember astronomers such as Carl Sagan, Patrick Moore, Fred Hoyle, Edwin Hubble suddenly having these mysteries explained to them and publishing books that are fit only for lining my cat litter tray. By the way, where have all the sane respondents gone? I feel I'm a lone voice in the wilderness here.

Dear Espumpin,
An endless number of things could happen…..but I respectfully suggest that it maybe something subtle not sensational. E.g. Everybody having a dream, each one being a different perspective of the same thing. Or everyone seeing a Rainbow on the same day…..subtle yet it would be amazing.
Maybe we will all have the same tune in our heads. The subtle comes to light with the passing of some time.

Hey E!! Thanks for the translation, i was wondering what that meant… But even without the meaning, those words conveyed a sense of strength and power!

November 4th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Dear Paul,
Its this attitude of your kind that leads to the rift.. Instead of using fancy words to discredit Velikovsky and all, why dont you come up wih some reasonable explanation that is convincing?
And what kind of Planetary Catastrophe are you talking about, that ONLY takes care of the Maniacs, Conspiracy Theorists etc?? I dont think it will be partial to anyboday at all… But i hope it does cause a lot of eye-opening amongst the "Scientific Community" …

November 5th, 2008 at 4:42 am
I think Velikovsky discredits himself by saying that Venus' retrograde rotation was due to the 'fact' that it burst out of Jupiter, careered across the solar system before ending up in its present postion all without disturbing the the orbits of the asteroids, Mars and the earth. He was obviously stark, staring bonkers.
November 5th, 2008 at 4:48 am
By the way, there is no rift between the lunacy propagated by believers in 2012 end-of-the-world scenario [and other raving and drooling theories we've read here] and rational thought i.e. science. A rift would imply that both had had equal standing or one split from the other as seen in quantum mechanics – the Many Worlds Theory and the standard Copenhagen Theory. That was a rift. As was the rift between Bohr and Einstein over the quantum theory itself.
November 5th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Dear Amit,
Remember when someone used my name on the other thread, and what you wrote to me ? That was, if you like a Debauch lesson. The ability to recognise something for its true self, its essence.
So should something, subtle or otherwise, occur in 2 weeks….would it be recognised for what it truly is…..or will it be labelled according to preference, opinion, personal belief etc.
Be well, Leah
November 5th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Something subtle and not subtle will happen in a fortnight. Ok? Like what? I'll bet that the sun will rise; there will be earthquakes so slight that they will only be detectable using seismometers. Subtle enough? There will be a submarine mountain slide somewhere; there will be around a thousand thunderstorms occurring somewhere around the world. Just WHAT sort of event are you all looking for?

November 5th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
As everything occurs by formula, even the timing of Geomagnetic pole shift, hence it does not repeat itself according to a fixed calendar…..like a birthday, it is not possible for anyone to give a concrete answer to your question.
Not even when driving from A to B, can anyone predict the precise moment of arrival, or conditions of the journey.
This is where pure applied science is lacking, having convinced itself that its possible to know everything, due to a desire to control. This year alone, papers have been published re, Dark flow, Dark energy / matter, Muons outside the Beam tube, Universe beyond our Universe, to mention only 4. Facts today…..mystery by tomorrow.
November 5th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
You say "We want concrete answers"…..how many are you ?
November 5th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Paul, if you went home and found a note from a family member saying that they went to the store to buy some Kentucky Fried Chicken and that they would return with enough chicken to feed you. You would expect to be eating chicken in a few would'nt you?
Ok so now we have some items distributed around the world. Around the world!! Pyramids, Ziggurats, temples, scriptures!!
The science that you so proudly cling to cannot explain how these items were put together. Take a look at Baalbek, just google it. Take a look at the way the rocks were cut and fit perfectly together at the mesoamerican sites done with no metal tools. Your science offers no explanation, simply theories .Theories!! Does this remind you of anything that you discounted recently? The reason that your science cannot offer an explanation Paul is because they have failed to read the note that was left for them to read today.
Your science has created a term called "Myth".
There are no myhs Paul. There are no conspiracy theorist. All myths came from somewhere. All conspiracies are real to some extent.
This is the year of our Lord 2008!!!
Your science has had its share of time. The next time I open this blog I expect a scientific explanation from you with regards as to how those base stones at Baalbek were raised and put into position. Failing to explain this disqualifies you a right to ask anyone here why we expect something to happen on 2012.
Your science is so stupid that having the answers to questions, they still offer theories!!! Can you imagine that?
Imagine that you don't like or can't accept something at face value that you actually offer a theory changing the actual meaning or corrupting it for everyone!!
Your science is too young to be of help in these matters. I suggest you study some mythology, maybe read the Bible or something. Science is only half the imput you need to understand why the maya calendar is to be taken literally as opposed to reacting to it as a Pastor in a Church reading Biblical passages and TELLING you what they MEAN!!!
It means what it says. Its starts something like 3114 BC and ends 2012 AD.
Its a measured time piece with a begining and an end.
Something is going to happen and it won't be an atlantic hurricane flooding some streets in Puerto Rico so that Washington can continue sending FEMA money. FEMA won't be able to do crap when this event occurss as it will be world wide. Whatever happens will be world wide.
Paul, if you accept science at face value along with it's multiple theoretical explanations then you have to also at least respect other theories about the 2012 date. You have nothing to offer but second hand theories yourself.
I hope this calms your haughty scientific ass down somewhat as you're becoming rather annoying with your condescending attitude.
Paul,
I remain,
Your friend

Am I making mountains out of ant hills?
"We are from M113 we are Ad idem we are part of the legion."
1) Messier 110 (also known as M110 and NGC 205) is a dwarf elliptical galaxy. And it is a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy. I know 110 is an earth # we made up but it was the my only find.
2)Ad idem means "Of the same mind"
"to the same thing’
3) The legion- We can all kinda firgure what "they,he/she, it" meant by that.
I spent all day looking for some clue or message & i'm more confused than when I started. Am I making mountains out of ant hills? Is this a wait & see deal. Any planetary catastrophe like Earthquakes, Tsunami's,the econmic problems, Nuclear war is gonna sneak-up on us. 500,000 died before we knew the Tsunami was over 1,000,000 died in mayarmars Earthquake, and we almost went into a new depression lent out 700 billion and ppl didnt even blink there eyes or get a complete answer to their questions. like Leah said "Facts today…..mystery by tomorrow". I was explaining to my son E=Mc2, His homework asked "Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy-content" I firgured, Yeah, right? It has to right?
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter. Ad idem okay now everyone knows how ignorant I am and how I have a bad habit of raveing on & on but someone plz tell me Am I making mountains out of ant hills?

The Sitchin groups translation is really interesting.
Tiamat being a pre-earth water planet and its many moons including kingu our current moon. But if I remember correctly you can actually decipher what planets were created in what order.
Its funny how since works on these matters.
How many scientist did Napolean take into Egypt?
How many scientist did Hitler send around the world for the same purpose?
Paul let me ask you something. Did the Germans find anything in their searches?
They certainly came up with some crazy ideas ahead of the rest of thw world didn't they? Rockets, they had designs of flying saucers!!!

Tell me how those two base stones were raised into place at Baalbek!! I want concrete answers!!!!
We don't have the technolgy today to even create the machinery that would accomplish this feat and Paul talks about "science".
Cut us some slack with all this black and white crap!!!
Explain to me the gray!!!! Then I will gladly reciprocate with concrete answers.
No one that leans so much on science as a crutch will be able to explain the Genesis 6 passage in the bible and the coroboration by the Sumerian/Akkadian clay tablets which should all be considered mans History and not so called mythology.
Science can only explain something after it has been totally discovered or uncovered as it were. But it can't even read a scripture right.
Talk to us Paul. Tell us about how the Maya became the masters of time. Maybe they existed in those mountains for enough eons to record all those star movements. At which point in their existance did they decide to study the skies?
You better start looking into forbiden histories.
You better start beliveing in UFO's.
You better start looking at all conspiracies.
Oh and Paul. You know how we keep our flexibilty on a matter by stating "its not written in stone" ?
Well the calendar is written in stone.
Your science isn't. There is always room for discovery.

Paul Eaton-Jones, we are all looking for answers. We know enough to know we may not have said answer or might be looking right at it without knowing the right question. Click onto the above video and fastforward to the 3:00 mark. Keep an open mind. We're just trying to help each other see through the mudd, make the grey more B&W. & like -Ricco said we're your friend here plz enlighten us because we have been know to shut up and listen when knowledge is spouted & we bear fangs around ignorance.
Mine is just accepted cuz I admit to my ignorance humbly.

Dear Espumpin,
So now we come to one fact,
All matter is energy, and all energy is matter.
Humans believe that what they perceive as matter, can only be something they can bottle, or put in a bag….hold in their hands etc. Solids, liquids and gases. Soon radio waves, and even ideas etc will be perceived as matter.
Do you begin to see the "matter" that is a thought….an intention….word.
You love chess….right …..so it takes many various pieces to make a full set, but they are still each a chess piece……just less complex than the whole set.
Again, its all a variation of a theme. Music expresses it best.
Be well, Leah

Dear Ricochet,
Plenty artifacts live in the e.g. Berlin museum, both on show and hidden from view, like the sphinxs from the Hitite city….amongst other things.
Recent turf wars are more about artifacts and knowlege, than they ever were re oil etc, by those that seek power over others.
German scientists built a piece of equiptment many years ago that degraded people, plants etc close by, at an alarmingly increased rate. It was called —-? Bell. I can't find the write up now, but will if necessary.
All the best, Leah

That would be Die Glocke. There's no smoke without at least a tiny fire. If only true in small part, we know that interest in time travel, torsion fields, worm / black holes, tachyons / higgs bosons /God particle, has grown with the passing of time…..not diminished.
November 5th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Dear Paul, please take out some time to read the post below.. Now lets hear some answers from your “Rational Science”… I had posted this in another thread when another person of your kind asked me to put forth some “Extraordinary Evidences” to support my views….
Extraordinary Evidence No. 1 – Ancient Pyramids.
There is significant proof to date the Pyramids to around 11,000 BCE for their construction. Certainly, with our technology of today we could build such monuments to the precision of these great structures – but… what about back in 11,000 BCE? The Humans of the Bible were farmers and Shepard's. The technology didn't exist to create such structures. Now, look at the Maya and their Calendar. Their understanding of astronomy and astrology far exceeded their ability to understand the stars yet they provided us with a calendar, which has been exacting. The examples of technology exist through out our history yet scholars often refuse to consider this when putting together their thesis or journals. It isn't mainstream science, thus it would bring way too much attention and critique and essentially ruin their career.
In the Sumerian Epic, the story of Creation and the Garden of Eden are shared. The Great Flood is also a favorite written in the Epic. These stories aren't changed all that much when represented in the Bible – however, they are manipulated. The Sumerian Epic tell of the Anunnaki; a race of beings from Nibiru who created Humans by taking the indigenous beings on Earth and splicing their own DNA with that of the Aliens. The Anunnaki were greatly advanced beings and created the great monuments found on the Earth; Moon; Mars and other solid planets/moons within our corner of the Universe.
The purpose for creating Humans is also written in the Epic. Humans were created to be servants of the gods. Many would have called the early humans, slaves. We were used to mine precious minerals such as gold. Still to this day, gold is considered a highly sought after mineral. Researching the Sumerian Epic will also tell you reasons for this unique status of gold.
I guess you might also be a firm believer of the Theory of Evolution, which is adored so much by the Rational Scientists.. Now lets question that too..
Extraordinary Evidence No. 2 – DNA.
The number of ways that any group of N objects can be arranged is:
N x (N-1) x (N-2) x . . . x 1
Thus, 4 objects can be arranged in 24 ways (i.e., 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
and 5 objects can be arranged in 120 ways (i.e., 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
We're told that the earth was formed 4,600,000,000 years ago and the universe began 15,000,000,000 years ago. These seems like pretty big numbers, and pretty long periods of time during which anything could have happened.
When viewed from the perspective of probabilities, however, it's just a flash in the pan. The number of ways a deck of just 52 cards can be arranged is about:
80,658,175,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
That's 80 million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion
DNA has over 3 billion base pairs of 4 separate chemicals. Can you imagine what odds must be involved in sequencing them into perfect order in a mere 4.5 billion years through chance and adaptation alone!
Life, however, is not just a random draw from a deck of chemical cards, but a precisely assembled house of cards built from specific combinations of components.
Extraordinary Evidence No. 3 – The Eye –
Evolution theory has never adequately explained how organs of extreme design and perfection could "evolve”
Even Darwin recognized the challenge it posed to his theory in the chapter entitled "Difficulties of the Theory" in his book "The Origin of Species":
"To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." Charles Darwin, 1859
If you're viewing this page with a 1024×768 resolution monitor, you're seeing 786,432 pixels of light. A high speed Internet connection typically delivers web content at around 500,000 bytes of information per second. In comparison, your eye sees about 125,000,000 pixels of light through five distinct kinds of neurons, processing about 10,000,000 point images per second. Your eye is remarkably efficient, able to produce a signal with only one photon.
How do we realistically explain by chance and adaptation the design and manufacture of an organ that far surpasses the technology of cameras and computers which have taken the collective efforts of mankind centuries to develop?
Extraordinary Evidence No. 4 – Phi (Golden Proportion)
The Fibonacci number, phi, is more than a mathematical curiosity. It is one of the most amazing and pervasive numbers known to man. This, above all numbers, would be a perfect sign to tell us that creation is not just the result of random processes
Fibonacci, Phi and Spirals in Nature:
If you sum the squares of any series of Fibonacci numbers, they will equal the last Fibonacci number used in the series times the next Fibonacci number. This property results in the Fibonacci spiral seen in everything from sea shells to galaxies
DNA
The DNA molecule, the program for all life, is based on the golden section. It measures 34 angstroms long by 21 angstroms wide for each full cycle of its double helix spiral.
34 and 21, of course, are numbers in the Fibonacci series and their ratio, 1.6190476 closely approximates phi, 1.6180339.
The Solar System
The average of the mean orbital distances of each successive planet expressed in relation to the one before it approximates phi.
Plants
Plants illustrate the Fibonacci series in the numbers and arrangements of petals, leaves, sections and seeds.
Many plants produce new petals in quantities that are based on Fibonacci numbers.
Each successive level of branches is often based on a progression through the Fibonacci series.
Extraordinary Evidence No. 5 – Irreducible Complexity
We're told that life evolved from the very simple to the highly complex, which would make sense if it were true.
The truth, however, is that even the simplest of life forms are highly sophisticated pieces of biological machinery.
Every living cell contains DNA, the program which describes every aspect of the organism's physical design and life functions, including:
ingestion
digestion
conversion to energy
excretion of waste respiration
reproduction
circulation
growth
locomotion
regulation
response to stimuli
A cell would not really be "alive" or survive unless all life functions became operable at once, so how did even a "simple" single-celled organism "evolve"?
We're told by scientists and academicians that finding or creating a simple molecule of amino acid is evidence of "life," yet DNA of even a simple E. coli bacteria cell contains 4.6 million base pairs, or 9.2 million bits of information.
Does evolution theory offer any evidence or even a truly plausible explanation as to how even a single bacteria cell came into being?
So, are these evidences enough for you?? You might say that I have just argued against Evolution. But Divine Intervention and Alien Intervention are one and the same thing. So when Divine Intervention is proved, it points to the Anunnaki. And the presence of Anunnaki on Earth proves the reliability of the information encoded in the Ancient Monuments and Artifacts (Including Mayan Calendar) ….. And obviously Enuma Elish!
Go Figure…..
November 5th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Dear Espumpin,
I dont think you are making mountains out of mole hills….. But i guess there are a lot of people who are making "mole hills out of mountains!"
Your point about Messier is quite uncanny.. The more i think of Debauch, the more my head spins.. Do you remember "Law of One"? Ra – The Sixth Density Social memory Complex… There are 5 thick books on the matter…. So obviously, there are entities from other planes/dimensions that have contacted us from time to time….
Here is the link – http://llresearch.org/library/the_law_of_one_pdf/the_law_of_one_pdf.aspx

1 Corinthians 13:8-13 (New King James Version)
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I always misunderstood this passage. Now I see it as something else. I see it as describing telepathy. Where you now see face to face. I can see you as well as you can see me, no lies no deceipt.
See where it says now we know in part and prophesy in part? Well its like having parts of a whole which is how we live today.
But when the time comes there will be no need even for language, look at the passage. It says tongues will cease.
Wouldn't it be just great if this 2012 event came with an actual overnight evolutionary phenomenom?
Yeah, I'd like that too.
What happened to paul?
I didn't see any scientific explanation offered about the trilithon.
See amit? When you start telling these people that the mayan calendar is actually of alien origin they just write us off. I love it.
Ok, anyone please explain how they raised those base stones at Baalbek?
That place was already ancient when the Romans built that Heliolopolis temple there.
I have an an even easier question – Who built the original temple at Baalbek?
When you have the correct answer to these questions you will have the answer as to the authenticity of the maya calendar and you will understand that it was intended to represent an age in the existance on mankind.
What makes this blog so great is that the people here are from so many parts of the world yet we are all drawn here on this subject.
I don't mind people like Paul but he had already gotten a little comfortable using the word lunatic to describe us that believe in the event and well screw him.
Anyway, I'm starting to ramble here. You guys sleep well and thanks for tonights enlightenment.

I feel sorry for paul. It seems he has been silenced by an atomic blast of words. Not that I agree with him.
The Chinese have used science for their pleasure, like firewords, western culture used science to kill people…
Science can explain what has happened in the past, then it extrapolates to tell us the future. On what basis? linear function, e-function or what? Can science explain us why things happening? Why the bigbang, why the tsunami, why vulcano eruptions? It tells us how it works that a vulcano erupts and so on but why. If it can why not tell us ahead, so that we can be prepared for the tsunami and evacuate the people in Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Sri Lanka?
Even Einstein, one of the greatest scientist, in the end believed in a power of creation. Why? If there is a power of creation then there is a power of destruction, can we predict these powers with science?
November 5th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Leah,
thanks to you back on the track.
Thoughts are matter, intersting. This is why some people can read the thoughts of others?
How about conciousness is matter as well?
According to the Lord Buddha, everything in this universe consists of four elements, air, water, fire and earth element. Consciousness, thought, memory, associations, feelings and body. All of them are made from these four elements, different mixture.
Intersting? or dismissing?
November 5th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
On Debauch 2nd Nov
whats going to happen? Now only ten days left. I would guess that it is not one of the catastrophic events we all are familiar with.
That would not be too convincing. More like finding the lost continent of Atlantis. Or finding the records of this lost civilazation in Egypt?
I will be looking forward

It would be wonderful if aliens existed, or if there were actual Divine Planning for existence, or at least a whole lot less challenging than the scientific explanation: 'well, this is what we think it means, but we have to do more research.'
The thing of it is, while there may well be spirituality in the universe in some form or fashion, physics WORKS. The more we study how things work, the better our theories become at predicting how things work.
The magnetic field may well flip in 2012; or 2512, or whenever, but let's say 2012 is the date. First, I can see the Mayans figuring out that SOMETHING was going to happen in 2012, but having no idea what. Their calendar is accurate to something like 3 millionths of a second, so it's not hard to think they could observe relatively esoteric astronomic phenomena. But the world won't end, and it certainly won't stop spinning….
Stop spinning??? Are you kidding me?? Just on it's axis the earh rotates at 1,000 mph, and that doesn't even cover the cyclical rotation around the sun, or rotation of the entire solar system around the galaxy. Do you have any idea how much kinetic energy it would take to stop a 7,000 mile wide ball of rock to completely stop spinning? We, the atmosphere, the oceans, and probably the earth's crust would be sucked off the planet like a giant hoover. That is, assuming the energy in question didn't come from a collision, which is another (but unfortunately very real, even if unlikely) matter entirely.
And let's get our terms right: if we have wars and calamities enough to wipe off humanity, well, humanity ends, but the world goes right on. Some of the 'end of the world' conspirists seem to conflate the world ending with humanity ending, which is a bit too humano-centric for my taste.
Finally; if you really want to do something constructive, push your government or business of choice into aggressively colonizing space. The key to the future of humanity is OUT THERE…..
November 6th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Wow Richochet. So you 're privy to the meaning of hidden texts. If they're hidden how come you and your knuckle dragging band of nitwits have discovered them and academia hasn't studied them. It's time you were carried off in the rubber ambulance to a place of tranquility.
The stones at Baalbek and other ancient monuments? Levers and ramps old boy. At one time the construction of the pyramids defied explanation but then scientists and architects realised that the Egyptians would probably use similar techniques as we might use to build similar structures i.e. as system of ramps that encircled the pyramind as it grew. No mention of magical powers, no help from Cthulu or flying saucers, no need to invoke God/god/gods and similar brain-achingly ridiculous theories. Idiot.
November 6th, 2008 at 2:08 am
Leah. "We" are the rational people who come to a decision based on facts. Even within the scientific community there are those who do believe in a higher power – god- but some of us don't. I don't mind appearing arrogant here when I say some of us have moved ona nd away from such things as religion and belief in the supernatural./
November 6th, 2008 at 4:30 am
Richochet. I can assure that all the replies I've made here are NOT 'cut and paste' from the net but are either hard facts I have worked out/seen myself or garnered from books on astronomy, history, archaeology written by academics.
November 6th, 2008 at 4:53 am
Amit. Tiamat a pre-Earth water planet. Where was it/which star did it orbit? How come it's not mentioned amongst any of the 200+ extra-solar planets discovered in the past 20 years? I always thought Tiamat was the personification of a water god. Their creator god?
There can't be a theory about the Germans being contacted by aliens because it never happened. Where in any of the books about the history of WW2 or the Third Reich is this mentioned? And anyway the advantageous knowledge they received didn't work, did it?
November 6th, 2008 at 5:04 am
Sorry Amit the above should have been directed to Richochet.
This one's for you.
Pyramids 11,000 BCE? Hardly likely as at the time, 9,0000 BC humanity was still emerging from the Ice Age and we were still hunter gatherers. The first settled farmers appeared in the Indus Delta circa 7,000BC, at Cetalhyuk, Turkey c.5000BC. The Egyptian pyramids c.3,500BC.
The Great Flood appears to be an aural history, myth if you will, about the breaching of a natural dam at the eastern end of the Med. thus creating the Black Sea. Evidence of habitation has been drdged up from the bottom and dated circa 7,000BC. It's easy to see how fleeing survivors dispersed N/S/E/W would carry the terrible event with them and by the time written records appear this legend has been taken up by Near East/East European society. I have absolutely no problem with Sumerian/Babylonian legends morphing into Hebrew stories.
I'll try wading through the rest of your stuff later as now I have to get back to work. In the mean time I suggest you subscribe to your local library and read books rather than find you information on the net.
November 6th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Where are the people who responded at the top of the page? Todd Sielling, Keith and Astro? Voices of reason. It's bvloody difficult taking on all this bollocks.
No Martin, I haven't been silenced by an atomic blast of words. I'm fairly bomb-proof and it will take more than the drivel here to deflect me. Even though you disagree with my direction at least the things I've read that you've submitted appear very considered in comparison with most of the things here.

good morning to you all–thank you for having me back…just a couple quick thoughts–nothing very relevant…
regarding debauchs post—it unnerved me—not by fear or doubt–but because–for me–it rang of recognizable truth and familiarity…perhaps when he meets us "face to face", is exactly what ricochet pointed our in corinthians….
in quantrun physics, a "planker" is the point where energy turns to matter…and perhaps that is part of the "it's not real" reference… depending on who you are, what you see,and what you believe–it could very well "be real"…
ian–thank you for another thought-provoking and very debatable article…just a simple silly thought—you can watch the compass points all you want, but in my simple world, i will watch which way the water swirls when i flush the toilet…
for those who know me, i do not expect huge cataclysmic events that will wipe out all of humanity…we have plenty of them right now—do not think for one second that any of us are or will be exempt…we will all be affected in one way or another as things start to unfold…we ALL are now— we just do not recognize it as such…be diligent…keep your eyes and minds open…do not discard anyone's ideas as bunk…and do not shoot the messengers…there is no room for black and white "right or wrong"(right now, there are only shades of gray)…in time–all questions will have their answers..and we will ALL be able to say "now i know what he/she was talking about"…be prepared–it might "unnerve you"…
thank you–as always–for your kind indulgance of my "out in left field" thoughts…
so glad we all made it through this one small "transition"…
love and best wishes to you all..

Just read the Debauch posting with his? list of people etc. That HAS to be a windup. If M113 is supposed to be the 113th object in Charles Messier's catalogue I have to tell you that there only 110.
November 6th, 2008 at 8:17 am
So a bunch of Accadian/Sumerian gods written about in a creation myth 4000+ years old are going to solve our problems/smite us for not believing/appear magicallyand rectify the credit crunch/help Chelsea win the European Champions league or something else that is of concern to you – take your pick. All your gods, deities etc are a pretty poor bunch of entities. Spiteful, petty, wrathful, vengeful, in Zeus' case a rapist, neglectful and vain. Asking for prayers, tribute, blind obeidience and of course virgins. What do they give in return? Nothing but fear of eternal damnation and suffering if you don't prostrate yourselves in the dust and beg for mercy. All of them, Baal, Moloch, Zeus, Chronos,Odin, Thor, Ra, Vishnu, Shiva,God, Jehovah, Yaweh, Allah, should they actually exist, are feeble-minded, insane, drooling, pathetic creatures that deserve our distain. If I've offended anyone……. good because all your mindless ravings offend me. Be gone you wasteful collection of protoplasm.
I will be back to attack other crimes against reason when I've dug out a few BOOKS on ancient civilisations written by real authors who have submitted work to be peer reviewed rather than post badly thought out ramblings on the web. Stay happy.

Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
You are naturally at liberty to think and write as you see fit. However, you have in one post managed to categorise e.g. me, as someone who fell hook line and sinker, for ancient writings, having believed them word for word literally, without due consideration.
Peer review…..peer approved…..Peers do not equal fact in truth nor truth in fact, nor do they have a monopoly on truth, or for that matter any more than a different perspective than myself. It is the accepting of the word of other HUMANS, whos opinions and ideas are sided with.
Since when did approval or permission become a prerequisite for a new idea or theory ? What next…need to buy a permit to have even a thought ?
Leah
November 6th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Excuse me Paul Eaton-Jones, I agree with you. first though plz understand why. As a man of science I can only believe the proof in front of me. Speculation and theory go hand in hand. I've said before if one being created the entire universe, I hope that being won the science fair or nobel or something cuz this is pretty amazing work. and I would laugh out loud in ignorance. How can Gods of love let suffering take place. I donot go to church and I donot watch CNN. Because I don't believe either of them is telling the truth. You discredit research from the net because you realize its tainted, So have all the books we have read growing up. History is written by the winners. Thats why they don't mention how the Native American were given blankets coated with small pox, you say thats false the indians say its true. Who do you believe with the knowledge you have now on the subject. Without researchig you can tell something killed off all those ppl, right? My point is The stones at Baalbek are there proof, fact. How we are not even able to lift one of those stones with our strongest machines thats a fact look it up. I dont know how they did it I wont lie and say I think I know because I need proof before I run my mouth so I know where i'm running. Now I may rant and rave but one of my favorite nobel winning scientis said and I qoute…"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."
the same person also said and I qoute…"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest… a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Can you guess who this is? Before I finish I would like to say that there is nothing I cannot find the one true God in now. You have to read what D & Gj were saying on the other thread to get were i'm going. God is not sitting on a chair or at the edge of your bed when they say here everywhere. It was potrayed in that manner to scare us keep us under thumb so to speak. anyway the qoutes are all from the same person hopefuly someone you respect so as you can come to understand what were saying has already been said over & over, Just noone wants to listen. And I qoute………."My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind…The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking…the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker."
Sory for any misspelling or confusion I dont get time to proof read I just hope I added a little and not just took up space. Oh and Paul
we still love ya buddy even if you care to know why.

Those that wish to could try to get in touch.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Will try for the last time.
The Great Pyramid, if built by past humans alone, is testament to them knowing a thing or few. Why are so many bothered by past civilisations having technology / knowlege / wisdom ? It insults their egos.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Telepathy is a frightening prospect for many. There would be no place to hide thoughts, let alone an agenda to supress or dominate the will and freedom of another.
November 6th, 2008 at 10:01 am
A penny for "Just a Thought" at this juncture, if you are out there.
November 6th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Listen Paul, you simpleton. The reason we bring up the old deities is not because we feel they need any worship from us.
What we're attempting to convey to that one way adled brain of yours is that the maya calendar is not man made technology.
There is no way that these indians in the forest and mountains could have come up with that knowledge. We also are under the impression that the real powers that be are aware of this fact as well as other discoveries that have been made that we are not aware of.
I had no idea that you were a scientist. How did you conclude that the Baalbek stones were moved with levers and pulleys when no other scientist can corroborate this?
Your problem Paul is that you choose what to believe. You're scared. You're very eloquent however you resort to name calling. This leads me to believe that you had a strct upbringing. Perhaps your parents called you names like knuckledragger when you erred in speach or something. Anyway not my issue.
We like to refrain from name calling so if you would be so kind as to follow this procedure we would all be greatful.
Think you can handle that bro?

November 6th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Pauly baby, unfortunately the only books you can read on these ancient civilizations are limited. Only 200 people or so can read the summerian cuniform language and the pre-semitic Akkadian.
We do appreciate the fact that you confess ignorance on this subject. Please take your time reading these books and do choose the authors carefully as there some real conservatives out there like yourself.
We would also bring to your attention the fact that we consider these gods that you were ranting about, not so much gods in a sense but ……Aliens……So you see, there is much information that you are missing.
If you come back here and tell us that theres no such things as UFO's, and that our governments haven't been hiding all kinds of discoveries from the general public for decades then I'm sorry to say. We, no, I won't speak for everyone, I will no longer consider you an intelligent human being.
Simple as that,

I understand Pauls slamming the gods, In all the stories man is exploited.
The Job story has me sick at times.
But the one that really messes me up. The one where I really feel for man. Is the garden of eden story. You see, I don't see it as original sin. I see it as a lost opportunity.
In the story Gods evicts man from the garden not because he disobeyed. But because as he had knowledge now, he would eat from the tree of life and become immortal as one of the Gods.
If only he had come to the garden a day later maybe adam would have thought to eat from the tree of life. Wouldn't that have been something?
In all the stories about mans quest for immortality, he fails or he loses it at the last moment. It is always said that man born of woman is fated to die as is a mortals fate.
This makes me sad for mankind sometimes and I feel as if we were somehow cheated and were just used as entertainment.
The first intelligence came from these guys, the first wars, the first everything all across the world has been credited to these guys.
If we are killers or if we are compassionate we inherited these qualities from our creation by these guys as we were created in HIS image.
The only difference is…..The tree of life and of course their highly evolved telepathic skills.
I sound like some crazy ass comic book story teller but these are facts.
All I know is that there is a change coming and i ain't the Obama election campaign.
We talk about 2012 saying it's such a short time. Its only 4 more years. I can almost guarantee that not everyone in this blog will make it to 2012.
So you see, you need to look at this time left to plan something, get a little ready, at least prepare your conscience and your mind and soul as much as you can before this 4 years period expires.
It will in fact be, an end of time.
Dramatic,

True enough. Sin, was chaos, possibly the chaos that humans have wrought since, with their curiosity, but without wisdom from the tree of life.
Its reminding me of Thoth, and how its time for the remaining ta*lets to be released.
November 6th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Leah,
Reading,… trying to digest "info."
November 6th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
God evicts man from the garden because man broke a rule, the only rule, and, it was not even something man was required to actually DO. It was something man just had to NOT DO, required no effort on mans part.
Sure F'd it up for the rest of us.
Ricochet- I'm at a loss my friend.
I know we all can think of our own behavior and cannot define our thought process leading to our actions(or lack thereof).
The whole "god" issue I have weighed in on from my small perspective, if you beleive anything to be a sin-then to you-it is. Each of our Gods (or lack thereof) live in in each of our hearts, and, in spite of all our denial-
we follow our heart.
November 6th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
J.a. Thought
I couldn't agree with you more. God lives in our hearts.
in Buddhist terminology this God is nothing else than avijja. Avijja commonly mistranslated as delusion. Correct interpretation would be "wanting to know, but not able to know correctly, wanting to understand but not being able to understand correctly" Correctly means in line with the truth
November 6th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Yesterday I followed the link to Baalbeck, from there followed some other links then came across Bermuda triangle, Atlantis, read Platos description of Atlantis. back to the secret underwater area shut off by US govrenment near Bimini, remembered Edgar Caseys statment, that near the cost of florida there will be found an ancient powerplant from the continent of atlantis that gave power to their ships and airplanes. This powerplant is made of a huge crystal ball, that catches the energy of the sun and redirects it to its ships and planes.
If in 1945 several us navy airplanes disappeared near there, the us government certainly would seal of this area and keep what is found there as a secret.
So many things have been sealed of public by various governments. It would be a feast for scientist all over the world to dive into these secret discoveries.
… just some thoughts …

Dear Martin,
In Hungary the word Correct is used in the context of truthful. To be and behave in line with truth.

November 6th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Dear Martin,
Thought you might like this one. When diving off the coast of Florida, a diver found some not so ruined ruins, and brought back with him a crystal sphere. I'll dig out the article sometime.
I was not there, as I was not there for the building of the pyramids…..but I listen….load everything in, then sift and analyse. So please, remeber that, I've still not voiced belief. Interesting though.
Leah
November 6th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Just a thought. I didn't mean to offend anyone these were just my thoughts. However you should read the biblical story again.This is formGenesis 3:22-24:
22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life
Notice in 22 hes speaking to someone he consides his equal when he refers to hem as one of us.
I don't want to get to heavy into it but in this part of Genesis I get the impression that God isn't all knowing as he has to ask where adam is as opposed to just knowing and the fact that adam heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden before he addresses him.
I mean, just read it all.
Its like Pauly said, God first punishes the snake, then he punishes the woman, then he punishes adam. Then he decides he can't trust adam now so he has got to go before he figures out that he won't die eating from the tree of life also.
Thats how I see it. I don't like to cling to way I was taught to read these things. I read it and it says what it says.
Of course its all parable. But you get the idea.
You have to be carefull today with Christianity. The religion wa corrupted since the Catholic Church decided this would be their religion.
Many early Christian writings were excluded and many of Christs' teachings were corruped.
Its sad but its a fact, probably the purest form of religion is what the shamans do with their drinks and trances.
Somewhere along the line we lost the true substance of communion. The grail, the host, the true eucharist.
It is now all symbolic, using a wafer and some grape juice.
Tragically this what we have today.
These are my opinions and are not meant to offend anyone.

November 6th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Leah,
if you master these four elements, then you are able to create anything you like.
Ramana Maharshi was said to be able to create sweets out "nothing" for his mates.
If you are familiar with the buddhist canon, above the human realm there are 30 realms of heavenly beings. To make it short, at the top there are gods who delight in creation and there are gods who delight in destruction. It is attributed that they create solar systems, planets and so on. But also they have only a limited time of existence, long about 200 to 300 thousand years. When they die and are for instance reborn as Ramana Maharshi, that would explain his ability.
What happens if the mind enters a black hole, e.g. singularity? Everything created ceases to exist including consciousness. What then is left? The uncreated, unconditioned, non-duality. Emerging from this black hole, coming back to the senses you feel refreshed and recharged, just like putting your fingers in an AC outlet.
You remember .. going into the world beyond thoughts.. now going into the world beyond phenomena.
Have a nice day

same over here, I do not believe, e.g. take them as correct or truth. But I find them extremely interesting points of views or explanations for things we cannot explain otherwise. If somebody explains something reasonably or logically I tend to submit and give it credit.

Rico,
20 years ago I read most of these apocryphic (or something like this) texts that were omitted from the bible. Very intereting but very difficult to understand. Then through the book Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis (Erich Fromm) I came to read the Buddhist texts. So logically and easy to understand.
Have a nice day

November 7th, 2008 at 1:46 am
So we've gone from an article refuting the totally bogus claims by you end-timers for a cataclysm in 2012 as 'predicted' by the Mayan calendar to banging on about non-existant gods, non-existant alien spacecraft [yes I DO believe in intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy but it hasn't visited us. Show me the proof], ridiculous assertions that the Egyptians could only have built the pyramids with alien help, lunatics screeching passages form the bible in the belief that the old testament especially holds 'The Truth'. I notice that very few of the quote come from the new testament where Christ, who I believe was a preacher in the near east 2000 years ago but NOT divine/son of god, spoke of love and forgiveness rather than the death destruction and panic preached by the likes of the old testament prophets. Those people were almost to a man bitter,twisted, mysogynistic, misanthropes.
November 7th, 2008 at 1:51 am
Rico. So I'm scared am I? Of what? Your truth? If the ancients were so mighty and privy to all this wonderful knowledge why aren't we benefitting from it now? Why aren't we living in a Babylonian culture that has lasted 4000+ years? Who has suppressed this knowledge and why?
If you have access to it then it is your duty to share it with the rest of the world. Book a prime time spot on the BBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and tell us. Unless of course you're an alien or one of those who want to keep it all secret.
November 7th, 2008 at 2:03 am
Rico/Amit etc.
You people must have very small enclosed lives. You must hardly sleep as I imagine you spend you time scouring th enet for your info or are too frightened to sleep in case some monster arises from the deep to menace you. You must creep around in abject fear of the unknown, of governments planning your destruction or keeping secrets from you. Are your nightmares filled with grinning slavering creatures who want your souls? Do you jump at every creak of the floor boards expecting toothsome minor gods to leap from the shadows and bite you? If you find comfort and protection from these things in praying to Moloch and his Babylonian crew etc. well good for you but please don't clog up a science discussion site. I will defend absolutely your right to hold these views and discuss them amongst yourselves but they have no place in an astronomy/cosmology group. At least we've had nothing from the believers in astrology. Startup your own blogs.
BTW, I had a great upbringing filled with love and an abundance of books and was encouraged to explore stuff with an open, inquisitive mind. If only everyone had that opportunity.
November 7th, 2008 at 4:10 am
Paul
please have a bit of mercy on us. Great scientific discoveries were not made by numbercrunching, but by observing phenomena that lacked explanation at that time. And finding the explanation, for instance the relativity theroy was born. So if we are not allowed to let our imagination run, talking or observing things that cannot yet be explained, then we are poor scientists. Brainstorming is not really scientific, but it led to great results.
Even Einstein played with the idea of God, so be so kind and let us play as well.
According to you we would have to stop the blog because no scientific input is coming. But I find it a beaty to talk about things we cannot explain, maybe this will lead to a great discovery one day?
Coming back to the topic, maybe you can help us with setting up a model of earth that will tell us what exactly will happen to earth if the poles are flipped or the rotation of the earth stops for a while. How will it affect the plates, the continents the weather?
Or maybe somthing simpler, the next tsunami, or volcanic eruption, where what strength and what is going to be affected?
Even these small events we will have great difficulies in predicting them. Too many unknown factors.
Have a nice day
Martin
November 7th, 2008 at 5:01 am
Hi Martin. It's not a question of having mecy or otherwise. It's a question of, 1) asking for proof/evidence of these mysterious ancient powers devolved to Iron Age societies; 2) asking why this knowledge has only been given/passed down to or can be understood by the likes of Amit and Richochet and 3) why they need to use a site ostensibly about astronomy to spout rubbish.
As yet science cannot predict when an earthquake.tsunami, volcanic eruption, geo-magnetic reversal will exactly occur. They can with almost 100% certainly say where some of the above will occur. The San Andreas Fault WILL slip; the Anatolian Fault/plate WILL slip; Tokyo Will experience another devastating 'quake; the east coast of America WILL be inundated by a giant tsunami when the western part of the Canaries/Tenerife peels away and slumps into the Atlantic. Etna, Vesuvius, Pinatubo will erupt causing devastation. BTW, did you realise that Mt. Toba exploded around 78,0000 years ago reducing the human population to way below 10,000 people? Niw THAT is a global catastrophe I can understand and deal with. Make far more sense that Cthulu or Baal suddenly appearing and wiping us out.
More later.
November 7th, 2008 at 5:13 am
Ricochet,
Had not ment to imply offence, none existed.
Cool.
Fun stuff, Knowledge and Power
Genises Chapter 11
"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
Which ended poorly for those folks just
as the account from Genesis 3.
He seems to be talking to another here too.
Info. and ability – fun stuff – but appearently need to be limited.
Not my intent to imply that I claim to have a clue-just a thought.
BTW PJ there is hope if you would have an open mind.
November 7th, 2008 at 6:18 am
The problem with having too open a mind is that it takes in everything without recourse to critical analysis or filtering. Without rational, critical thought we end up with religion and theories about aliens building the pyramids. Thinkers like that WANT there to be a fantastical answer when in reality the actual answer is just as fanastic. It is they who cannot accept reality because it's too mundane for them. Without their conspiracies, visiting aliens, mysterious technology and 'masters' who live in secret caverns they have nothing. Listen to some good heavy rock guys and girls, clear the cobwebs from your minds and embrace the universe as it is not as you would like it to be.
You've probably worked out that I'm an atheist and if I follow any 'guru' it's Richard Dawkins.
Much more later.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:24 am
Richard Dawkins…..now thats someone who has decided what is and what isn't, according to his own preferences.
He doesn't know that its easier to disproove something by actually trying to make it work. A true expert at decrying anthing he personally can't perceive, and sometimes quite rudely.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:56 am
But as a critical thinker he quite rightly doesn't accept religion, for example, at face value. Show him, and me, demonsrable proof of mircales, prayers answered and the existance of god/gods and then perhaps we'll believe. However, I refer you to one of my earlier posts where I said that should any gods exist they are not worthy of our devotions and tributes. They are spiteful, capricious, feeble-minded gibbering entities who long ago forgot about us. Their adherents cling to a primitive belief that they will return, at some unspecified point in the future but always soon, and whisk the true followers to heaven. The worst are the religious leaders who tell their flocks that the time of return is just around the corner and a few more pounds/dollars, a few more prayers and personal sacrifice will save their souls. This isn't just a modern t.v. evangelical phenomenon is goes back to pre-biblical times so the Judaeo-Christian/Muslim religions can't take all the blame. O.k., religion may bring comfort to many but it's ultimately a way of avoiding taking personal responsibility for one's actions and putting the blame/resonsibility onto a supernatural being. If you're Christian/Buddhists/Muslim then your teachings tell you to forgive me.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:13 am
Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
True enough…..being a race of beings from somewhere else in the universe, doesn't earn them the title of gods. Those that wrote in ancients times, attached those labels, because of their religions and beliefs.
As Ricochet had written on the other thread, Flies in some respect, perceive us as gods, being gigantic and seemingly living forever. It is however all relative. What seems a short time to us is a long time to a Fly.
Nothing to forgive. Be well, Leah
November 7th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Dear Paul Eaton-Jones,
In the first instance, may I address you as Paul ?
Maybe you can shed some light. We've lived in our present location for 17 years, UK, but this Spring the sun was setting north north west instead of in the west. Then from one day to the next it was setting in the west again.

good morning all—
paul–"thou doth protest too loudly"!!! nobody is disputing the "if's and when's" of these natural disasters–that is science of which we are all privy to every day…but it does not end with these catastrophic events or the los of human life…if human life stops, so does your science…for me, it is what happens BEYOND these events…and the souls that drive each human being…this is where faith, hope, and a fundamental belief in something much bigger that ourselves kick in…it simply cannot be all about science…if you are a scientist…how many times have you said, "gee, i HOPE this works." ????? is hope not what drives you??? the hope of knowing, learning, understanding??? hope is not part of a scientific equation…it is spiritual…
JAT—a rather stupid analogy,i admit…but it is simple—for me, it is one simple truth at a time…thanks for, at least, seeing the point…
at this time,i am reading edgar cayce's book on the life of Jesus…the Essenes are talked about in great detail throughout this book… i know you all have talked about the Essenes before, but for me, it is just starting to come "full circle"…
the Bible, like so many other "history books", are missing many key elements… it left up to interpretation–and it can be picked apart to suit almost any agenda…i am not being "blasphemous" here…but the "essence" of the Bible is held in it's entirety…not in any one book, chapter or verse…remembering , of course, that as it was written–by many– with many parts being "fast-forwarded" over… were subject to the interpretation of the author…and now it's readers…whether history or prophecy, that remains in the eyes of the beholder…
well, guys–that my time–thank so much, as always, for your kind indulgence…
my best wishes to you all…and always
becky
November 7th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Of course you can call me Paul.
Off the top of my head the reason why the sun set slightly north of west and then west is due to a number of things, all well known and established. No matter where you are on earth the sun will always set, and of course rise, due west and due east. The phenomenon you observed is in part due to one's latitude and the time of the year. Between 21st June and 21st December the sun will set north of due west and then south of due west from 21st Dec and 21st June. A quick look at one of my astronomy texts says that on the equator on 21st Dec. the sun sets 23.5* south of west. Six months later it sets 23.5* north of west. However if you travel north you have to use the formula 1/cos( lat) to work out where it sets. Celestial mechanics which involves trigonometry and geometry is difficult and I don't use it in my hobby. If you like maths then it is I believe easy once you've become used to it. Any decent astronomy book, even a beginners book, will sort you out.
Paul.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Who wrote Genesis….?
The word, even just as spoken by humans is powerful indeed. The words of a politician resulted in being voted in as President of the USA.
I would have prefered to hear in the acceptance speech, "To those who would tear the world down……Join us in building the world up." But hey ho, thats just me…..always with the possitive and constructive.
Thinking about the tree of life (a metaphorical tree)…..Science has prooved nothing can be destroyed or gotten rid of in the context of it dying, or not being at all. Everything is energy and it can only ever change. Not even words can be unsaid, or thoughts un-thought. So for me the tree of life is the knowlege / wisdom, that there is no death….only change.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:54 am
espumpin–this is just an afterthought..in your nov 6 post, you asked "how Gods of love can let suffering take place"…
when things go bad, why are we so quick to blame God??? when things are going good, do we thank him or blame him???
when things are going well, i have never heard one person complain that., "no God of mine would let this happen. this has got to stop…God, please help me get through this." that bad has got to come with the good…otherwise we would have no guage…when things are bad–they can always be worse…and when things are good–they could always be better…and don't forget to filter in free will, there…though sometimes we are "victims", and we suffer through no fault of our own–bad things have to happen–even to good people…God's tolerance for this does not necesarily make him happy, but it is a necessary evil…and he will always have a hand in guiding us through even the toughest of times…
November 7th, 2008 at 8:57 am
Thanks Paul.
November 7th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Becky. There is, I hope, nothing beyond life. There is no afterlife, no Nirvana, Elysian fields, no heaven no soul in the religious sense. What makes us human is in our brains – the ability to reason. Beyond that we're just a collection of chemicals, electrical impulses etc. How we think, perceive and reason and what they all ACTUALLY are is of course the subject of ongoing research and debate. But once you bring the supernatural, divine or mystical into the equation you have moved out of the realm of science and into religious belief and some would say irrationality.
November 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
1500+ underground bases, seed and gene vaults, stockpiling of food by certain agencies, GMO food, water monopolisation, plenty funds for bank bail outs (charitable contributions only for e.g. the starving), SPT, a sense of being kept in the dark, 1984 style surveillance of everyone, within 1 year a dire shortage of oil…then an about face turn, doppleganger capability (CGI on TV, plastic surgery or cloning in the flesh).
To name but a few man made causes in recent times for people to wonder what is going on.
November 7th, 2008 at 9:23 am
Anyway I'm about to finish work and head off home for the weekend where I will imerse myself in the erudite writings of Dawkins, Henry Hodges, Graham Clark, Aubey Burl and Carl Sagan. If the names are unfamiliar to Amit and Richochet – look 'em up. Some are archaologist and experts on ancient building technology. And not a mention of aliens or 'mysterious old ones' who came along to lend a hand raising the stones. Have a good weekend all. See you on Monday.

With the equivalent of 2.2 kilo grammes per day, per human ( @ 6.7 billion people) of cereals, fruit, vegetables and sugar, have already been harvested in 2008.
Some went to animal fodder, we then eat the animals. Some went to bio fuels.
Even if three quarters + was used as animal fodder (remember we get to eat them) and bio fuel….it leaves enough for each to eat each day, being 550 grams, or roughly 1pound of food in weight. Where is all this produce. Then there's seafood, which does not require feeding with grain etc (farmed fish etc being a small part and wild seafood being the bulk).
Its like water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
November 7th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Dave's post on Ian's other article….No planet X, of 6th Nov 4.37pm….is worth a read.
November 7th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Its a waste of time talking to Paul about this because he obviously believes in no God or gods or visting aliens.
Paul you actually avoid reading any book that contains the subjects we're bringing up here. You go out of your way to keep things neat and oderly, no chance for any ghost in your life. No UFO's, No aliens, no gods, no nothing thats not concrete in your little mind.
Thats what I meant when I said that you were scared.
I mean, I read all kinds of books. The books I favor on this subject come from what the book stores label the "speculation" dept.
You however, don't speculate.
Its ok, I understand, but you must also understand that you are limited in your lack of faith because thats all speculation is really.
So all I can say at this time is that we can agree to disagree.
Pauly, May the gods bless you bro!

November 7th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
We've had the dark ages, a 1000 years full of war and disease. Stormy times. We have since had a 1000 years, in comparison much more peaceful and healthier times.
What a waste, of a million good ideas, if the human race allows itself to dive into the depths of darkness once again.
On the subject of a pole shift of some sort. Science is the form that inspects and studies that which has happened, or has already begun to happen, with a view to being able to predict the same happening NEXT time. E.g. Earthquakes will be very accurately predicted once enough have been observed. That though is no consolation to those that are already dead due to earthquakes.
Likewise with pole shifts, science will only understand after it has experienced one. Until then, science has only a stack of hypotheses to offer, theories, ideas, supositions, postulations etc etc etc.
I remember a time when science categorically stated "All matter in the universe was created at the moment of the Big Bang" therefore all matter was the same number of years old. Then some years later they scratched their heads, the dandruff flew, and they wondered how it was that, this was not the case. If all things on Earth are not the same age, how could everything in the universe ever be the same age.
Now astronomers are scratching their heads over what they've called, The Dark Flow, The Great Attractor , Dark Matter /Energy……..no need to list more.
I love the sciences…..not the sometimes barbaric methods they employ……but it was observation, writings of old and philosophy that gifted me understanding.
November 7th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Everyday, have eyes, (and every sense that can be mustered) wide open to spot Sinronicity and Convergance.
Or for the pure science brigade, Critical Mass. Shame few spotted critical mass re recent economics, and financial meltdown, due to their preference that it not happen. It happened in spite of all the preferences, hopes and wishes against it.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Like Just a Thought said, some things need to be believed to be seen.
Those that didn't believe, didn't see the financial crash……therefore did nothing to protect themselves…..why ? because they didn't believe it could happen. QED.
November 7th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Hey Becky, I borrowed your analogy because it was a tool to say what one person knows to be true may not hold true to another. Grand example I thought! What I meant was I felt silly not being able think of my own.
November 7th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Ann said this:
"I guess some people just choose to be oblivious to what is coming and that is OK. When it happened to Atlantis, most people didn't believe it either and most of them were gone!"
Ann said this and I wanted to share this with those around the campfire.

good morning, everyone!!! thank you, ann!!!
leah–loved your "scratching of the head, and dandruff flying" thoughts…in my book, you are always so "spot on"…it has been my thought for a long time that conventional science just does not apply any more…what i wonder is why no one is willing to look "outside the box"…is is because they are apprehensive, or because they don't know how??? the old ways may not necessarily be the the "best" way, but it is the SAFEST, because they are the most famiiar… i imagine "new" or "different" is pretty scary in the scientific world…
LEAH, i also found myself in serious consideration of your nov 7 posts, and the undisclosed things that are happening around us, but that are so obvious to so many…"water, water everywhere…but not a drop to drink"…please don't dispair just yet—the "depths of darkness" may be for those who built those underground "tombs"
…the rest will be "heading toward the light"…
paul–my man–nov 7–did i read you right???? did you actually say "I HOPE ???
…there is no life after death????" WOO HOO !! —hope does spring eternal!!!!!!
no "slam", here, paul—i really AM interested in (and need) your understanding of things…AND, thanks for putting up with me…
( but i still maintain that we will meet you on the other side)
…and.. that's enough from me!!!!

"what if your wrong?" about everything you think is right in your life. "what if your wrong?" & every desioin you have made has led you down the path your not suppose to be on, in stead of seeing things more clearly more in foucused your nrear-sighted or far-sighted. you need glasses we need glasses. DR.R.Dawkins, says in "The God Delusion", Dawkins contends that there is no God. He's right & Im wrong? Why? Because he has a P.H.D.? They gave him glasses to see things given the same proof and clues the rest of us got? He is privy to higher knowledge than the rest of us? Graham clark- discovered Sirus B, That means he was a Star Gazer, right? in layman terms. no? Aubrey burl most well known for his studies into Megalithic momunments. Carl Sagan Promoted S.E.T.I, He wrote the novel that was turned into the film Contact. And was the person responsible for insuring the first spacecraft apllo 7 or something had on board an unalterable and universal message on the spacecraft that was sent to leave our solar system. I dont want to go back and foth trying to dicredit each other lets learn to disagree and try to find a pair of glasses we can share and learn from together.That we we wont get blind sided, nobodys gonna trust us but what if all it does take is opening up and trusting,caring & then loving one another for no other reason than..no other reason. In a world where we worship $ more than family members, when one way or another we are all on this planet together where or how we originated is as less important as why we all s**t from our a**. There has to be more than eveolution Cone Snails there are about 500 different species of cone snails look it up. Cone snail use a harpoon-like structure to kill their prey anyway they use a poision only thing is each species and i'm not making this up has a different type of venom & each one is unique to eachs own class they do not overlap and esach poision give a different affect on humans they cure different dieseases, rthis is new stuff look it up, now thats not by eveolution thats amazing Do I think there is one single being sitting on a throne looking down at this planet in particular? No. What is out there is the stuff of legends and our minds energy taht some call a soul energy cannot be destroyed or created it is simply there first law in thermo dynmiacs or something like that bbut again a fact. anyway this is my ranting a** saying I wanna hear what you have to say but I dont wanna keep name calling. Thers no need we can be friends If you think something Geometric is gonna happen lay it on me I think dsomethimes I should get a boat and 2 of those big dumpsterd you see in the back of a restaruant im saying if the world stopped spinnning and it was gonna start again anyway I would put the dumpsters on the boat ride out to thwe middle of the ocean get westsuits tanks oh and mattresses in the dumpsters 2 of them to spilt my family and when the world starts they would fli to the bottom of the ocean put the spinning would make water fly up to the top so i would land on soft bottom of ocean stuff that would now be the top & hopefully we would live, well I had more time on my hands than I thought and I know this is "just talking" but we should all do as much to each other at least just endulge ok i hate when I lose my thought.

An Einstein quote…"Better I'd been a Locksmith".
As it was in the metaphorical garden of Eden, so it is now….that man must learn to resist the temptation to use knowlege gained, for ill use, such as war. The one thing man should NOT do, is destroy ourselves. If this kind of temptation is not conquered this time, the human race may end up rebooting again…….that is if it does't succeed 100% in its destructive endeavours.
Imagine if enough atomic explosions occured in one location, it would be like a large asteroid hitting earth. Possibly resulting in knocking Earth off its present axis.
With a net gain in population of 65,000,000 this year, the VOLUNTARY reduction of population is the solution to most immediate and long term human created problems. Greed for power over another and wealth, is something that only each individual can battle with, within themselves.
As for those things beyond Earth that could harm us…….time spent fighting, could have been time spent learning and preparing if needs be.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:30 am
good morning–all!!!
leah, the things that will harm us most are already here–they did not come from beyond…to win the battle, we must fight our own demons first…
has anyone noticed the frequency and ease with which the word "transition" is being used in the media as obama prepares to take office??? putting all political inuendos aside,it will suffice to say that obama was not my personal choice, but these will be VERY interesting times, indeed…i wish him well, and i hope he does good, but i don't think he understood the full magnitude of that which he sought…russia is already getting "testy"…iran's president has already contacted obama…north korea's president hospitilized due to complicatons from a stroke…peacetalks in the middle east at a stalemate once again…afghanistan is rapidly becoming our "new biggest threat"…worldwide, people and governments are watching and waiting…
…savior or antichrist??? (he rose to the ultimate power in just 4 years)…PLEASE–no offense intended-just thinking out loud!!!!!
i realize this has nothing to do with the overall context of this thread…(magnetic reversal) scientifically, it's not equatable, or even worth a second thought for some…but i can't help but think that somehow it's all related…especially considering leah's thought that big bombs going off on one side of the world will most certainly affect us all…
for me…these are unknown variables in the overall equation (a+b+c+d+=signs of the times)
espumpin–interesting rant–just not sure i understood the question???? tempers will flare , at times, when we become passionate about something…there is no harm in that–the harm comes with disrespect…so rant and rave to your heat's content….
amit, hope you are well—the same to each and all…no one in excluded there…
best wishes and enjoy your day..

November 9th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Leah do you realize that the worlds instability in terms of war is religious difference?
The most unstable region in the world is the middle east. This is a religious war.
Paul the reason i concentrate on the Old Testament as opposed to the New Testament is because the OT validates the NT. In other words, Yeshua is the son of Yahweh and Yahweh first appears in the OT. So what I do is go back to where its starts.
This is also why most of my interest is the the Sumerian pantheon of gods. Because they preceed all others ie; Greek, Roman, Christianity. The first pantheon came from that area. In almost all other pantheons you can equate the god stories to some god of the sumerian pantheon.
Example: RA = Marduk.
Whats really amusing to me is that I have not offered any metaphysical explanations here regarding God or gods. I've simply pointed out a scientific speculation that has been made regarding these gods, it has been speculated that they may have been ancient astronauts. Nothing metaphysical about that.
Nothing supernatural. These astronauts may have been telepathically gifted with an extraordinary life span. Still nothing supernatural or metaphysical.
All of these things have been speculated. Just as it has been speculated that the pyramids were built using pulleys and levers by ancient egyptians.
Its all speculation. We have to be adults about this and consider the evidence available and use judgement to discern what is feasable when we indulge ourselves in reading these theories.
I, like most people here was raised with religion in my family. Somehow, again like most people while growing up you lose the way so to speak. But being as how you were raised with religion you always have questions and doubts and some of us look for meaning and some don't.
In my search I beacme fascinated with Genesis 6 of the OT. This lead me to Zecharia Sitchins books and other material such as apocrypha and anything pertaining to what I was interested in.
I assure you Paul that no matter how much a scientific approach you want use on this subject it cannot be done. There is too much speculation and of course there is so much information that is withheld.
Anyway, the countdown has begun.

Hi Becky, you hit the nail on the head. Obama is a very important part of the times. All the problems that you mentioned would have had to been dealt with by any candidate that won.
The transition is important because until he swears in he won't be president and anything can happen between now and then. So beware the transition.
All of those world issues that you mention will not be getting any better but will assuredly escalate as the next few years go by.
These things have been getting worse for years. Its not just starting.
Its been very quiet on the Israeli front also which worries even more than all the rest.
I just hope they let the new president in. If some new catastrophe should occur anywhere in the world they may decide to postpone "the transition" until its appropiate time.
An exciting time to be alive!!!
Optimistic,

Dear Ricochet,
I can assure you that I'm well aware of the effects of conflicting religion and belief systems throughout recorded history.
Also of greed for wealth and power.
Whats is not logical, is for a hi tech race from somewhere else in space, to be able to travel all the way here, but need primitive slaves for anything at all. With all the tech, if their interest was only what they could take from Earth i.e. Gold, they could have taken it and left.
The only motive to genetically alter humans, teach them to mine gold, amongst other things, could be to make a supply ready for them when they next passed by. Our DNA may also be of interest, and needed time to mature and evolve, in readiness for their next visit. In which case they would probably view humans as chatels.
November 9th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Hey Leah!!
Nice to see I'm not alone
I think we're inconsequential to them. They'll probably be surprised we're still around and in such numbers.
Depending on wether the sentiment be Enki like or Enlil like we'll de in deep crap.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Hey Folks!!
Rico, Yep, you are right , we all have a life..
PAUL – Read it again, Yes, we have a life and quite contrary to what you described in one of your posts…
So, you like to lick Dzawkins huh??
Dawkins writes logically, but he writes only to support his own personal beliefs and never really engages the alternate hypothesis, as any good scientist should. If you don’t share his ideologies, the weaknesses and shortcomings in his logic become very apparent. He uses his position as a scientist, however, to add credibility to an overriding, and highly charged, personal agenda of atheism and secular humanism.
By contrast, greater scientists such as Einstein and Hawking, even though they may not speak of faith in a personal God, still express a deep sense of wonder and awe for our existence. For others yet, such Von Braun, the universe itself is undeniable evidence of their God and Savior. Dawkins writings though reveal someone who thinks he has it all figured out and that anyone who doesn’t see it his way is ignorant, using terms like "cowardly flabbiness of the intellect" to describe those with other views. As noted by Richter, a man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another’s. If you read Dawkins, look beyond the clever logic to the heart, character and motives of the man and there you will gain understandings into life that go far beyond the mere text of his writings
Dawkins strikes out against religion, but note his target. Religion is not God, and experiencing religion is not the same as experiencing God. Religion is a human social institution and its failings do not prove or disprove the existence of God. They just demonstrate shortcomings in mankind that pervade all human institutions, from government to sports to marriage.
Does Dawkins show any recognition or understanding of the spiritual experiences of knowing God that change a life to one of love and service or does he just strike out against the worst parts of religion: the ritual, hypocrisy, anger and self-righteousness? Read any one of the gospels and you'll find that Jesus Christ strikes out against the very same things! (Matthew 23, for example) Christ, however, completes the picture with the insight that true worship of God is none of these, but instead is a relationship of love with God as a person.
Use Dawkins' logic on religion and you might as well also throw out science just because there are some scientists who fall short of the disciplines of science, abuse science to justify their own selfish agendas and similarly damage and mislead others in the process.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Paul, I'm sure you will get back with lots of "Erudite" shit from Dawkins and Co. and try to drown us all!
Sorry, if i offended your sentiments about your "Guru" …. But i felt inclined to say what i think of his work, in exact terms!
November 9th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Friends,
The secrets are not hidden anymore. Credit to internet for spreading awareness…
More and more people know about UFOs, Secret Bases, Covert Experiments etc.
Earlier, some scientists had to remain in oblivion due to the "unacceptance" of their research by "Peer Reviews" and the subsequent refusal to publish their work. But now they dont need to rely on them to get their work noticed. They can dare to think "differently" and propose alternate theories.. They can defy the rotten logic and outdated theories that have been blinding people since ages…
But we still have people lilke Paul, who are apparently clutching their copies of "The Selfish Gene", "Blind Watchmaker Etc" !! And no matter how many proofs we dangle in front of their eyes, they will remain oblivious to the truth…
November 10th, 2008 at 2:16 am
Just a quick overall response for the moment. Aubey Burl was my lecturerer at college and he marvelled at the standing stones not because they were raised with the aid of alien technology but that the people who raised them took the time and energy to do so. Any mention of visiting aliens, at any time, was enough to raise his ire. He spent a lifetime researching how and why and his work has pretty much become the standard at least for European stone circles.
Re: Dawkins. People don't listen to him merely because he has a PhD. Yes he rejects religion and also god/s becasue there is no need to invoke them for the existance of the universe. He more or less says that we ought to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions good and bad.
Why on a thread about geophysics are we discussing Obama? Great news certainly but not the place.
Amit: no I'm not at all offended by your comments about me or Dawkins. But I would be very interested in your proofs of whatever it is you're banging on about. Just because von Daniken, Velikovosky et al have published many, many,many books on alien visitations amongst other things they haven't provided proof. Speculation yes; misinterpretations yes. Definitive proof – no.
As for aliens. Yes of course they exist. The galaxy is teeming with life both simple and complex. Can I prove itr? No but on the basis of possibility/probability then yes. Has it visited here? No. Why? Because we're in a galactic back-water surrounded by stars that on the basis of probability don't harbour life as they appear to be too young/hot/cold etc for intelligent life AS WE KNOW IT to have evolved. The distances are too big. It's not a question of just popping down to the local shops it bloody huge out there. [as I'm sure your alien friends have told you.] Come on, show me the proof. Credit the internet for spreading rubbish, rumour and false hope.
November 10th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Paul, i have already submitted my "proofs" in one of the earlier posts. You said that you will go through that stuff later.. Obviously, you had to say something like that, didn't you? Because you did not have any answers to the questions i posed!
If you have so much confidence in yourself and your crude bunch of jokes who call themselves "Scientists", then go on and answer my questions!
November 10th, 2008 at 2:47 am
And as for distances… Even the distance betwee the 2 corners of Earth was considered "Huge" !
But what about now, it is indeed a question of just popping down to the local shops!
So, Inter-Galacic distances may be much for us, but there are civilisations out there which are far more advanced and thy possess technologies which are beyond our wildest dreams…
There was a "scientist" in the begining of the 20th Century, probably one of your kind.. When Telephone was invented, he said – "All that can be invented has been invented and there can be no further inventions now" …. Would have made a wonderful exhibition of the "Foot "IN" Mouth Disease" if alive today… Just like your kind will do shortly!
November 10th, 2008 at 3:32 am
I said I'll go through the posts later because I've just arrived at work and have things to do.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:42 am
I have no problem with alien civilasations having the technologies way beyond our comprehension and being able to travel stellar distances probably faster than light too. But where is the evidence they've been here? Where are the artifacts? Big lumbering stones don't point to star travellers. Where is the science of these beings? Cog-toothed, golden discs found by von Daniken in the south American jugle doesn't count old boy. Perhaps you'd be good enough to give me two titles of books that show evidence that back up your frankly wild and largely discredited claims.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Indeed there was a physicist in th elate 19th century who claimed that all that could be discovered in the subject had been discovered. Within 10 years Einstein wrote the Theory of Special Relativity, 20 years General Relativity and 25 years Quantum Theory had blasted everything apart and a new path was found. This is science NOT speculation. I have no doubt that humanity will find a way to travel to the stars using as yet undiscovrered tecnology. But it will be OURS not "rediscovered" mysterious stuff left by the ancients and we will be the visitors from the stars. Perhaps, maybe…..
November 10th, 2008 at 3:54 am
Amit. If you want me to answer your questions give me one or two at a time please. I can't afford the time to sift what may be pertinent, valid questions from all the filler stuff you insist on adding in like quotations form the bilbe and other ancient texts. By all means have your religious belifs but keep your questions and points to me in the realm of science. I'm not qualified in, or indeed interested in religion. I see it as a distraction both to me ands to the population. Try to tease out the science from the writings of the Sumerians/Babylonians/Hebrews/Maya etc that way any scientists or those interested in science that have remained here can comment.
November 10th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Paul,
Check out my post put on November 5th, 2008 at 8:20 pm…
There are no bible verses there.. Those are all scientific facts described in a language that you understand well….. DOnt ty to hide behind lame excuses..
And one more thing.. If you desist from the name calling that you have been doing, then i'll be happy to do likewise.. You started to make personal affronts in your posts.. That surely doesn't go down well with anyone, so i was bound to respond in kind.. True that our opinions differ by a long way, but that surely cannot prevent us from having a discussion in a civil manner… And if you know us better (Speaking for all my friend here), you would find out that we are not all that bad either.. We are all leading our lives happily with our wonderful families, and most of our time is consumed by our respective occupations.. The little that remains is taken up with this "research" that holds our fascination and binds us together..
November 10th, 2008 at 4:33 am
Your comment about religion also portrays that you have not been reading my posts, just skimming through them. And that in itself shows a closed mindset..
Because, if you read carefully, you will find out that i am not "religious" in the sense of the word thats generally implies. Religion was just a method used by the Learned People in early ages, to convey "Science" to laymen. Because it was beyond their understanding to grasp those advanced scientific concepts, and God was also just a term used to denote entitites who were more advanced than humans.
Enuma Elish clearly describes a lot of that Science, whereas The Bible will tell you how all that got convrted to religion.
November 10th, 2008 at 4:46 am
As I've said before I have no problem with people having religious beliefs and praying to whichever gods they want – just keep them away from science-based sites. What annoys me is that people cling like children to these beliefs. That i sbeside the main point I made many posts ago – aliens technology doesn't exist here. The ancients were quite capable of building temples, ziggurts, pyramids using their science and technology without recourse to mysterious science.
Before I go any further I should say, for what it's worth that I think some of the Babylonian and Sumerian art/carvings/building are simply awe-inspiring. Whenever I go up to London I spend a day in the British Museum and most of that in the Babylonain/Assyrian section. The winged bulls from the gateway at Khorssabad are among the most amazing things I've seen. The carved hunting scenes invoke a feeling of the actual hunt. And you can actually touch them. THAT is amazing actually touching these ancient monuments. Nothing mysterious. The only alien thing is the distance in time. I'll pay my respects to them again this December.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:06 am
While it is undoubtedly true that the combinations of of DNA pairs runs into billions from the formula you wrote it is agreed by most/some scientists that once nature had hit on the 'correct' sequence it stpped and ran with what it had. The numbers you come out with are probabilities same as with the cards in a deck. Nature wouldn't go on in a similar fashion.
Why shouldn't The Fibonaci Series be entirely natural? Why does there have to be a 'higher' guiding authority writing hidden messages in the spiral of a shell/leaf?
And as I said previously – the Egyptian pyramids were not built 11,000 BCE. There is NO firm evidence whatsoever. There is firm evidence however for the earth coming out of the Ice Age and humanity still being hunter gatherers not monumental builders.
November 10th, 2008 at 6:51 am
good morning , dear friends…
just one thought this morning…paul, i still maintain that EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE…and wonder why it is so dificult to "look outside the box"…
please enjoy your next trip to the British Museam…as you stand in awe and marvel at all these wonderful relicks and artifacts, how can you not wonder if perhaps there isn't "something more" than just what you can see or touch??? how does one just "feel the hunt" then move onto the next exhibit??? how does that work??? for me, when i am in museums of this magnitude, my mind just RUNS AMOK…there is no end the the places my mind or imagination will take me…
…just thinking out loud–there really is no relevance to this–just wondering how the scientific mind works…
and thank you for your kind indulgence…

The something more shouldn't include giving the supernatural/aliens building the pyramids etc any credence. Why look for those types of explanation when the real one is just as fascinating?
November 10th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Anyway, there will be no geo-magnetic reversal in December 2012. Neither will there be an unknown/unknowable/inexplicable event on the same day which defies understanding. Neither will the mysteries of the ancients, those hunter-gatherers remember still struggling to live in the post-glacial world, be revealed to the true believers.
November 10th, 2008 at 8:51 am
This is an example of why science has not given me the answers once you probe deep enough. I will copy [paste you come up with your own conclusions.
Stefan Lovgren
for National Geographic News
August 31, 2005
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 96 percent similar to the great ape species.
"Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes—he didn't go far enough," said Frans de Waal, a primate scientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. "We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament."
Because chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, the chimp genome is the most useful key to understanding human biology and evolution, next to the human genome itself. The breakthrough will aid scientists in their mission to learn what sets us apart from other animals.
By comparing human and chimpanzee genomes, the researchers have identified several sequences of genetic code that differ between human and chimp. These sequences may hold the most promise for determining what creates human-specific traits such as speech.
"If people are asking what makes us human, they're not going to find a smoking gun [in this study]," said Evan Eichler, a genome scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle who was part of the research team. "But they're going to find suggestions for where to look."
OK NOW READ THIS
By Brandon Keim November 05, 2008 | 7:05:18 PMCategories: Genetics
new comparison of chimpanzee and human genomes has offered an early but tantalizing look into what makes the two species, nearly identical at the DNA level, so different.
Scientists found key differences in areas linked to cell differentiation, immune response and the synchronization of certain minerals in our Metabolism, the sum of all biochemical processes involved in life— and that could be just the beginning.
"By looking at all the variations, we will get a catalog, and when we find a variation in a person with a disease, it will help us understand the function of that variation," said study co-author Richard Redon, a geneticist at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "It will help us understand better how our species emerged."
Researchers already know that humans and chimpanzees share about 98 percent of the same genes. But rather than searching for mutations, Redon's team looked at a relatively unstudied phenomenon known as copy number variation, or CNV, in which genes are redundantly duplicated.
These variations were ignored in the early days of genetics, but have recently been recognized as important: Mutations are more likely to accumulate in a given type of gene when multiple copies exist, and the simultaneous application of multiple genes can provide a functional boost.
Redon's team is the first to assemble maps of CNV similarities across both chimpanzees and humans, and then compare the maps to each other. What roles those cell differentiation and immune response variants might play isn't yet known — but the details of the findings, said Redon, are less important than the example set by the study, published today in Genome Research.
How do the apes have 2 more extra genes than us and we evoled from them, shouldn't we by default have a greater # than those we have evoled from?
Now what do I know I am ignorant here but if someone can answer me help make it clearer. Sorry for the rush or if I didn't spell anything right or lft out some of the article but i left the links so look it up yourself.

I'll read it fully tomorrow as here in the UK it's late afternoon and I'm about to leave work. It looks interesting. I'm NOT in any way against new ideas challenging scientific verities – it's how science works. Old ideas are torn down often after fierce resistance but only after rigorous debate and many, many repeatable experiments. I've said elesewhere that Einstein let himself down by not embracing quantum theory so science and those who work in science are equally capable of being block-headed – it's not just religious believers who are guilty. AND I have never claimed otherwise.
November 10th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Dear All,
Hope you all had a good weekend, according to each your own perceptions of, good.
Perspective designs the question. Dawkins questions and researches according to his perception, as do scientists in e.g. Genetics.
CNV…..Redundantly copied. What nature deems redundant, it no longer makes, so these genes must have a purpose. Scientists need only change their perception very slightly, in order to ask e.g Could these genes be a record of all that has gone before, relative to that species ? An historical account of the all past generation's experiences. For me the next question is…Is the length of a DNA sequence relative to the length of time, that a given species has been around ?
If we eveolved from Apes, it means they were around before homo sapiens, therefore I would expect for an Apes DNA strand to be longer, having as a species, accumulated more experiences to record.
I'm back to Just a Thoughts, thought, that some things need to be believed, to be seen.
In this case, it need not be belief, per se, just a temporary shift in perception, just long enough to ask the question "What if those genes are not redundantly repeated, what if its not junk, therefore what is its function ?
November 10th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Further, if there is any substance to the questions I posted, the human experiences of the past 1000 years alone, are so many and varied, (especially in the last 150 years), I wonder what the difference is between the DNA sequence of someone alive today, compared to someone who lived prior to the industrial revolution.
November 10th, 2008 at 11:14 am
I have another thought if I may impose, Still I am looking for some sorta brigide to these gaps.Like if we have evoled and the egyptains,mayams and countless others built the ancient wonders why are we not replicating the same. If they built such structures without the use of fossil fuel why do we only need it and would have to use fossil fuel to replicate what they had done. Why are we not all great mathmations and scientist if ppl of olde were wise without the advantages we have like internet and schools universities access to knowledge that our ancenster couldn't shouldn've had but did. Have we de-evoled? am I ranting on no baseses to be ranting? Ok let me shut-pu im at work and just had to get this down cuz I hate when you have a thought and then later can't remember where you were headed and I lose my point so much I carry a pencil sharpner for G.P. TLK 2 U later

November 10th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Dear Espumpin,
Re DNA, before I forget. The 2 genes in Apes, coulde be due to their immune systems still having a use for them, but we do not. A pathogen which they still have contact with from time to time. I wonder if those genes are present in humans who live in the vacinity of wild apes, or if the comparison study was conducted using human DNA from locations where apes have not, or no longer live naturally.
RE your last post. If humans constructed the ancient monuments, without any outside help or use of energy the way we use it…….what did they know that we don't……or I respectfully suggest asking this from a slightly different perspective. "From what perspective did the ancients understand and use knowlege ?"
There is however nothing to say they did not have some, all or more mechanical techno capability than us…..as over time, items made of what we call modern materials, would have long rotted away…….stone being the most durable over truly long periods of time, but not to forget that this also applies to Gold that doesn't get exposed to certain levels of heat.
What is thought to be an Atlantis Grid which includes all the great monuments, may turn out to be to do with energy production, and also provide communication (like internet) and be able to act as a shield, even possibly having to do with weather control to some degree.
History repeats itself, as a variation of a theme. So what we do now, is a variation of what they did then……our monuments if you like just look different, but are no less spectacular. However they are less enduring in their construct, few of which if any would survive the elements for very long, as they are not built to last. Instant coffee construction.
If they did use fossil fuel energy, or clean electricity, what evidence do we have to suppot this……by the same token, if humans became extinct now, what evedence would remain in a 1000 years's time of our present day methods of energy production? None, other than evidence of mining….and only few examples of construction in stone. Yet, we did exist, and we produced energy, and we built…….just wouldn't be evident.

Thank you, I wish my words can come out as smoothly. But, Yes i agree. Just math and science should've been passed down by word of mouth or written like the Mayans the improvments in education should;ve had our kids learning Tirg. in kidergarden. Does anyone remember the post by Gj on gold in our D.N.A. all I have is a reply and the date the post is not on my thread. Can anyone repost or is it gone from all our sites which just be freaky its from

Greetings to All!!!
Dear G Joe, the way you connected Gold in Human DNA and Anunnaki got my head spinning… I am curious about this, can you please throw some more light upon this?? As Leah said, we have been associating Mono Atomic Gold with the Anunnaki atmosphere so far, but what you have come up with is a bit different."
Now I wish I had read this more carefully, I must admit I didn't believe him at the time. And he never answered our questions on how he knew. But, there was a newspaper AP-heading attached to the article I would like to follow the link on now. G'night everyone.

November 10th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
The post you speak of from GJ, Espumpin is gone from my view too, along with the post from Debauch also recomending, Sheldrake as reading.
GJ's post was re that we have gold in us too, and that the Annunaki want that gold too. Also included were some Genetic research findings. Its the post where I was asked if I had ever heard of the Annunaki.
We are being manipulated. E if you write to Fraser Cain, the one responsible for this site, he will have a copy of the post, and all others.
November 10th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Found Debauch's….so not gone. GJ's I can confirm had to be after 7.50am 13th Oct, as per time and dates quoted on the thread….and 4.19pm 14th Oct, which was my reply to GJ's post. Sorry E, I don't have it.

Paul, Let me ask you just one question to see if can offer a scientific explanation.
How was it possible for civilization, meaning, going from hunter/gatherer to farming and animal domestication blossom overnight (scientifically speaking) in one location on earth and not in several places simultaneously?
Why are there still to this day bushmen? Didn't they evolve too?
Paul, there is more than one source that tells about DNA tampering by superior beings.
How does science explain all those pyramids and ziggurats all over the world like that? China? South America? Africa?
How? You're telling me what? They traveled by ship back then and decided to landscape all these places with these huge stone buildings?
How do you scientifically explain that these people attributed their knowledge to some god or other?
Somewhere along the line we need reconciliation on these things.
You offer explanations that science has just very recently theorized was the way and means for these spectacular monuments to have been built.
The problem with science Paul. Is that in the absence of data, they offer theories. When the facts are all in, the science changes.
Science isn't perfect. Never was and never will be. It simply a logical way of discovering things. When you decide what data is acceptable and which isn't then its biased and corrupted science.
Usually this is done to better accomodate a certain theory.
You know when you'll believe? When an extraterrestial vehicle lands in central park and CNN shows a live broadcast of aliens coming out wearing what looks like ancient egyptian garb.
Should that occur. I would hate to be you because your total belief system will be shattered.
Not only have ancient astronauts been on earth Paul. But they were here before Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
I don't know what happened to these guys or if they lef anything behind. I don't imagine that had they left anything behind we would be privy to such information. Perhaps they would divulge it later in the future after feeding us countless sci fi movies in preparation.
I don't know, but I speculate just as the next curious person would.
With much respect,
-Rico-
Also, you should maybe try reading the Bible with a scientific mind bearing in mind that at the time these scriptures were written the people had very limited exposure to any technology.
The excavations in the near east that have taken place over the last couple of hundred years have corroborated the Biblical cities therefore the stories have historical value.
This may prove interesting to you also. Save the link for another day if you like but take a look sometime.

I'm not going to debate anyone that wears blinders and cannot see anything unless its right in front of him. Its silly with no peripherals.
November 10th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Paul,
"Nature must have stopped as soon as it hit the right DNA Combination". Can anyone with a rational mind belive this statement?Do you think nature is so intelligent? Then why dont you see it still working towards an even improved DNA? Why haven't we developed wings?
And do you think we were lucky enough to be chosen "by chance" to be the winner of the Inter Galactic Lottery which enabled us to have evolve faster than our fellow primates??
And what do you think made nature start working on the DNA Sequence and then stop on its own?
How can a scientist credit these facts to mere chance?? Baffles me!
November 10th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Entire civilizations have vanished without a trace. If we can't come up with a trace of a whole race of people that we know existed how can we come with remnants of ancient astronauts. Surely they would have been prudent enough to have exhausted every measure availbale to ensure they wouldn't leave anything that could further advance our technological evolution. Although don't get me wrong. I'm under the impression that there are objects still buried that have not been found.
The irony of this whole "myth" is that mankind has actually repeated almost in exact the way the sunerians describe the atrocities these gods commited.
Back in the days when the first so-called civilized nations started invading other less "civilized" countries and mixing with their women and teaching them their ways and bringing their religion. Its almost an exact duplicate of the Sumerian "myth".
Paul I know you won't do it but I have to suggest it anyway. Read the 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin.
He's goes way out there with his theory but a lot of the book makes sense.
Something happened back then. You can choose to believe the Hebrews later interpretation of the events ( The OT) or you can look into the later discovered Sumerian/Akkadian version. Something happened. It can be translated scientifically in which case we lean towards the ancient astrnaut theory or we choose to believe the more controversial spirit ghost metaphysical version adopted by the Hebrews when presenting their version of those events.
The similarities in these godly myths in different cultures is no coincidence.
You should know better than using coincidence in a scientific conversation.
But don't get me wrong. I understand your belief. You need concrete authenticated evidence before you accept it as fact.
I understand. All I ask is that unless you've delved into the more speculative material available, you don't discount it. Its like saying you can't accept a theory without first hearing it.
See u guys tomorrow,
-R-
November 10th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Dear Espumpin,
Even i tried to look up that post, buts gone from my view too! Strange…
I guess i remember the gist of what GiJoe said… He said that our "physical constitution" was stronger than that of the Anunnaki, which had to do something with the Gold in our DNA, and the Anunnaki wanted to imbibe that in their own system as well…
There was a comment about Carbon as well…
It made sense because the properties of Mono Atomic Gold and other ORME are being revealed now…
It was known by the name of "Manna"..
White Powder of Gold
Now read carefully Espumpin, i'm going to assemble lots of passages below, take your time, i'm sure you will be amazed by this….
The White Powder of Gold is a multitude of things. It is in essence, the Elixir of Life. It is likewise, The Philosopher’s Stone of Alchemy, the “manna” of the ancient Hebrews, and even the “What is it?” of the ancient Egyptians. In science, the white powder of gold is the ORME — i.e. gold (or any of the Precious Metals) in a monoatomic form — which can result in Superconductivity within an organic body. Just keep in mind the proverbial "small print": i.e., first consult with the discussion in Halexandria Forums.
When the white powder of gold is mixed in water, it becomes the Elixir of Life, the alchemist’s dream — also known as The Golden Tear from the Eye of Horus, or “That which issues from the mouth of the creator.” It was also called as the “spittle of God” — not the word of God, but the spittle. Others referred to it as the semen of the father in heaven. [Putting the white powder in water doesn’t result in it dissolving. Instead, it forms a gelatinous suspension, and looks very much like a vial of semen.]
For the alchemists, the goal had always been to make the white powder of gold, to make “the container of the light of life.” Thereafter, if you stood in its presence, you wouldn’t age. If you partook of it, you would live for ever. It’s history goes back to Enoch, Thoth,
Hermes Trisgetimus, the same man by any other name, who ascended to heaven by partaking of the white drops, and thereby avoided death.
In The Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Papyrus of Ani, by Budge [1] — based on a papyrus from Old Kingdom Egypt — there is a curious repetition of the phrase, “What is it?” Samples from the papyrus reads, “I am purified of all imperfections. What is it? I ascend like the golden hawk of Horus. What is it? I pass by the immortals without dying. What is it? I come before my father in Heaven. What is it?” The latter question repeats itself for hundreds of times throughout the lengthy ancient document.
The “What is it?” literally translates into Hebrew as “manna”. Even a modern dictionary may define manna as “What is it?”. The manna was the “bread” taken by the high priest, the Melchizedek priest. Moses told the Hebrew people at one point, “You have not kept the covenant, and so the manna is being taken from you. But it will come back in the end times. When we will be a nation of high priests, not an elect high priesthood.”
The manna, the white powder of gold, is the food, the light, one takes into their body. It is the Food of the Gods. A modern day Rabbi might tell you that no one has known how to make the manna, the white powder of Gold, since the destruction of the Temple of Solomon. The technique is, supposedly, a lost art or lost knowledge. But others argue that when the high priests left the Temple (when it was destroyed), the took the secret out into the desert and organized a commune called Qumrun. There, they became the Essenes. Eventually, the white powder was used to nourish a woman named Mary, and eventually, she gave birth to a man named Jesus. Some claim that it was the white powder of gold which allowed Jesus his many gifts, including his ascension into heaven.
Furthermore, Moses, while Prince of Egypt, had access to learning the process himself. Whereupon at Mount Sinai (during the Exodus), he set up his own foundry, creating the ORME to be placed inside the Ark of the Covenant. The biblical description of Moses during his time on and off the Mount provides the evidence for this view, as well as the Ark’s incredible powers of Levitation and occasional “blasts of heavenly displeasure”.
On Mount Serabit (aka Mount Horeb, the biblical Mount Sinai), there exists an extraordinary archaeological discovery: A temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess, Hathor. One can in fact surmise that Moses was well aware of an operational Egyptian temple in the Sinai, and the Sinai was thus a safe haven for his flock of departing slaves. Thereafter, the temple was lost to the world until 1904 A.D., when a group of archeologists headed by Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie found the site.
According to Laurence Gardner the real find, however, was “the discovery of a metal-lurgist’s crucible and a considerable amount of pure white powder” [1] on Mount Serabit. Also on the premises was a mysterious substance called mfkzt, which is referenced dozens of time on wall and stelae inscriptions. Gardner subsequently gives a convincing argument that the mfkzt — beside being unpronounceable — is, in fact, the White Powder of Gold. What Petrie, et al, had found was an Egyptian laboratory of Alchemy standards.
The real clincher, however, is Exodus 32:20, where Moses took the ill-fated Golden Calf, which the errant Israelites had made, “and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.” [The emphasis on “it” is reminiscent of the Manna, the “What is it?” of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Papyrus of Ani.] The fact that “it” turned out to be an early form of a Kool-Aid mix for the children of Israel, is not some form of “wash-the-mouth-out-with-soap punishment, but instead was for the distinct benefit of the imbibers. They were receiving the ORME!

All of that DNA that these biomedical people can’t figure out what it’s in your body for, it’s actually there to function, it just isn’t working right now. Right now we only use 8-10 percent of our brain. What’s the other 90 percent there for? Did we evolve a brain that we don’t use? I don’t think so. It’s like at some ancient time we used that brain, and we used that DNA, and we were a different person. Well that sure sounds awfully philosophical, doesn’t it. The Bible says that at one time we were the Adam Kadmon, we were the angelic being, and we have fallen to this animalistic state.
But in the Bible, it says, that the day will come when the ancient of days returns here to Earth. Who is the ancient of days? The ancient of days is the Adam Kadmon, the original man. When this man returns here and he literally can read your thoughts in your mind without you opening your mouth, how much more could you ever be judged? No more skeletons in the closet, no more hidden agendas. Everything’s known. In the Bible they call it the opening of the book of life. It’s the time that everything gets judged, everything gets revealed.

What are you going to prove, or say with it?
thanks

November 10th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Dear Martin,
Some things require deduction, because the cause is not inspectable, but the effects are.
E.g. A car crash on a road with no cameras, vehicles which have no tachometres, and no survivors. The approx speed, direction of travel, can still be deduced.
Give it some time. All I can say is that each is more /different than they think they are.

Just imagine.
2000 years ago russian helicopter pilots landed in Rome. Giant people with helmets on. How would they then describe them, or picture them and their airplane. Take into account the description of the germanic tribe of them – huge giant people riding on horses with their feet touching the ground. They were quite scared of them 2000 years ago.
2000 years later in 2008 we find in a hidden cave in Italy the description of these helicopter pilots.
Of course we would all assume that they are aliens, coming from a different starsystem.
And at that time these pilots told the Romans that they were from Russia.
Now we would be all looking for the planet X that is called Russia, or what?
Its now tuesday 1 pm 40 minutes. here. Am I your future?
November 10th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
A genuine astronomical question.
How often does our Solar system cross the Galactic plane. Or given our Solar Systems trajectory and speed of orbit of the galaxy, how many Earth years between Galactic Plane crossings…..or how many times do we traverse the Galactic Plane during one orbit of our Solar system around the Milky Way ?

November 11th, 2008 at 1:48 am
It's good to start the working day with a laugh. Richochet. "If we can't come up with a trace of a whole race of people that we know existed …. " How does that work then? If there's no trace how do you know they existed? Oh yes, the ancients in their circling saucers told you.
You lot keep on about ancient aliens who came here and there is proof. Where? Don't tell me it's all around us, that is no answer.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:54 am
Amit and Richochet keep asking me for proof of science. The onus is on you to provide me with proof that aliens exist and have visited; the original article exposed the false claims of a geo-mag reversal and the immediate response from you is to decry it spouting rubbish and scribblings from Mayan texts. You then follow that with quotations from Sumerian and biblical texts. Still no proof from you. This is a science site not a place to air your rather tired and discredited notions of aliens building pyramids and guiding the human race. If you can't provide proof beyond Velikosky and von Daniken just shut up.
November 11th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Ricochet. Which 12th planet would that be then? If it's big enough to support life it should be visible to NASA/ESA etc. Or perhaps it has a cloaking device?
November 11th, 2008 at 2:42 am
In the absence of data science looks for it and experiments to find it. While it does speculate it works out a theory and then performs experiments time after time. It doesn't say there's no evidence therefore aliens did it. Science won't offer a definitive answer unless the weight of provable evidence suggests it.
November 11th, 2008 at 2:53 am
Amit/ricochet. I can't remember who said it now but where is your documentary proof that the pyramids were built 11,000 BCE? Even taking into account the slight discrepancy in some of the texts regarding Rameses II written Egyptian records and current dating points to the first one at Saqqara around 2620 B.C. and the big three at Giza between 2589-2504 B.C. The final major one was built, I think, at Hawara around 1830B.C. Nothing like 11,000BCE/9000BC. But of course don't let the facts standing the way of a fantasy.
November 11th, 2008 at 3:04 am
Leah. It takes the earth/solar system approximately 225 million years to orbit the galaxy. In that time the solar system bobs up and down across the galactic plane around 3 times per revolution.

The security agencies have always gone in for crap. You may like to know that in the 1980's the FBI undertook a study to explode H-bombs in the past, 1952 to be precise, as a way of stopping the Soviet Union developing their own H-bomb project. The FBI spent tens of millions of dollars before realising it was unfeasible. The 1980's eh? Too much cocaine.

Espumin. Graham Clark was an archaeologist educated at Cambridge UK. Sirius B was discovered by Alvan Clark [middle name Graham]. I know all about the Dogon legends and Temple's book the Sirius Mystery. But as Sagan replied the chances of cultural contamination are quite high. Missionaries, traders etc were wandering around Africa in their thousands in the late 19tgh early 20th centuries so it's not impossible.

Oh yes, and welcome to the hippies who spout the usual nonsense about a better life if we only stopped doing what we are doing and return to some agrarian idyll that never existed. Look boyos if it wasn't for science and technology we'd ALL still believe in Moloch/Baal/Thoth/Re and the creatures of the night and we'd be living in the mud.

This from Feenix posted on 5th October '08 at 02:28.
I have come across absolutely no prediction by the Maya (sic) that the World will end when the current Long Count ends.
I HAVE come across directives, written in stone, about what to do on certain dates after the alleged End of the World. Most notable:
Chief Pacal of Palenque wanted the 80th "Calendar Round Anniversary" (calender round = ca.52 years) of his accession celebrated in a BIG way, and to make sure nobody forgot, he had the date and instructions inscribed on a plaque: October 21st, 4772…
So the Maya didn't predict the end of the world in four years time then? Perhaps they should have got their story straight with the Sumerians first.
November 11th, 2008 at 6:43 am
good morning…everyone..
just a couple quick thoughts…very quick since they must be restricted to scientific jargon–which we all know i fail miserably at…
paul, there is a "science" to everything… even though it may not be your area of expertise, please do not be so quick to discard them as "bad drug trips"…DNA is basis fundametal science…with a lot of loopholes and unanswered questions–as like in your own field…
i have a couple "space" questions for you:
what do YOU think would necessitate the building of the SPT??? what is your "take" on HAARP??? why do you think a country (or government) would even consider NOT repairing the Hubbell telescope? and then there is the International space station, which we very seldom hear about anymore…but cost billions to build and maintain…yet we are not privy to any of the pictures or film footage shot by our astronauts (except by whistleblowers on conspiracy-theory websites) that clearly show unidentifiable "flying objects" trekking across the planes???
would love to know what you think…i understand that there are "politics" involved here…though this is NOT your basic "political science", either…
best wishes…

Virtually any astronomy book barring a beginners book will give you the basics about galactic evolution and the solar system's position. For a more detailed explanation including formulae regarding velocity, motion etc either look for any advanced astro or technical books or go to an online site such as Cambridge Institute for Astronomy, I think, the American Institute for Astronomy, I think. Off the top of my head I'm not too sure of the exact names but they'er something like that. If in doubt google the solar systems galactic position and motion. Go to the first 2 or 3 sites otherwise you'll end up on a site occupied by the likes of Amit and Rico and you'll nothing factual. You could come away believing the great god Cthulu has attached strings to the sun and it's retinue and is pulling us up and down through the galactic plane.

A small reminder. All that is in space has not been detected, and so M113 may yet be. To say it doesn't exist, because it has not yet been detected, is to announce that, all that can exist does, and human astronomers have catalogued everything.

Well paul, I tried. You claim to want to have scientific conversations, but they are are limited to a certain type of science. We don't have enough time to "MASTER" one subject, we had enough to master some and then become a jack of a few other trades. I gave you proof and names and links and all you could do is attack -R & Amit. Is my science not science enough for you? Any way Amit thankyou looks like you put forth some research and linked this up tightly. White Gold, Manna? Seams like I gotta break out my Bible again. Do you really think thats what Gj was trying to tell us? & why would that post, how can that post disappear? I feel like Gj posted that explanation. SPT, HAARP, Hubbell telescope, Remote viewing, Mono Atomic Gold, CNV, pole shift, The Dark Flow, The Great Attractor , Dark Matter /Energy, seed and gene vaults have all been discussed here so far and then I read from Paul Eaton-Jones Says:

I do not apoligize for my friends and I are not close minded have much to share and unlike some ppl listen to everything without judgement and use what we feel implies and pass on to the next person only our opinion without prejudice. OKAY, I hope everyone enjoys their day off i'm off to the movies or blockbuster we're not to sure which yet. catch everyone on the flip side.

Leah,
The M designation refers to a catalogue compiled in th e18th century by a French astronomer called Charles Messier [M]. He was primarily a comet hunter and in order for himself and others not to get confused by which might or might not have been comets he listed all the objects in the night sky that could be mistaken for faint, fuzzy comets. The list included planetary nebulae, galaxies [which weren't at the time know to exist] e.g. M31 Andromeda galaxy, gaseous clouds [emission and reflection nebulae]. As the optics on telescopes at the time weren't good enough to resolve faint and distant objects the list contains a confusing myriad of stuff. His original list contained 110 objects which is why anything designated M113 is rubbish. Should "Just A Thought" and his barmy army actually be extra-terrestrials and heading home neither we or they would refer to their home system/planet as M113.
I'm glad you're asking the group astronomical questions. No doubt some other astronomers will be tempted back once they know serious enquiries are being made that require serious answers.
November 11th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Here's a good one. A Harvard medical team of scientists, experiment with clay mixture of montmorillonite, to see if life on earth was formed by clay.
Its science, because they're Harvard folk……but its Myth and unworthy of addressing, when written about in ancient texts. Hypochracy personified.

Filed under: Retire, Travel
For those who want something special to commemorate the passing of a loved one, I commend your attention to a couple of new options for that urn full of ashes. Other than using them on icy sidewalks, that is, as a funeral home in England did recently.
The first option, from LifeGem promises to take your loved one's ashes (which are primarily carbon, at this point,) and form them into a form them into a diamond. The man-made gem is a genuine diamond, with all the sparkle and durability of the original. The price is a bit steep, though; a carat stone will set you back almost $20,000. Still, I'm sure some people would gladly pay this much to keep their spouse wrapped around their finger.
Is this too morbid for anyone else? If we can turn our dead loved ones into diamonds what will the annunaki turn us into if we're alive. And what if M113 is already catalogue and is a destination that we simply don't have the info on yet?
Okay really gotta go now, but i'm off today so "I'LL BE BACK" lol

I'm buggered if I going to hack my way through rants about manna from heaven, alchemy etc in your or anyone else's posts just to find a question or comment about astronomy. My principal field of interest and expertise, such as it is, lies in astronomy, cosmology [the real sort not religious creation myths] geology, primate evolution and archaeology. Hurling numbers at me about DNA pairs, splicing and the Fibonaci Series amidst a crazed, foam-flecked rant is not going to endear me to either you or the subject. While I have a slight interest in biology I certainly don't know enough to give you definitive answers or make grandiose statements.
The people here where I work who have a vast knowledge of biology, biological systems and genetics who have been good enough cast an eye over some of the claims have either snorted in derision or tell me that the respondants are deliberately twisting and mis-representing the actual facts to fit their demented theories.
November 11th, 2008 at 9:02 am
M113 ISN'T catalogued because Messier's catalogue only went up to 110. Check it out on an astronomy site.
November 11th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Dear Paul,
Thank you again for the information, I'll check it out. Re M113, I was using it as an example only, to point out that we have not discovered or named all that is out there. A fool tired of learning or is indolent, convinces themselves they know it all. True enough…..they know all that they are personally going to ever know.
Leah
November 11th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Dear Paul,
Before I go any further, I need your ground RULES….as in… what may I address.
When discussing astronomy, it seems that the following are off limits….but correct me if I'm wrong.
Chemical compostion
Geological composition
Any historical references
Tectonics
Volcanology
Seismology
Atmospherics
Meteorology
Climatology
Possible biological properties
Any theories, scientific or otherwise.
Without taking all the above, and more, into consideration, I cannot see a way forward in discussion.
Leah
November 11th, 2008 at 9:41 am
What is there to discuss or debate re established, and accepted facts like 2+2=4.
Or that Earth orbits the Sun…..even the why has been established.
If we are not here to discuss or brainstorm those things which we do not as yet understand, either fully or in part…..then what is it that we are supposed to post about ?
November 11th, 2008 at 11:01 am
In the middle of typing a post re Betelgeuse, the site rubbed it out, like so many other occasions, during the past few days. Its very fussy about subject matter. So my deduction is…..I can write what I like, so long as its approved of and permitted. Welcome to 21 century designer freedom.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Carl Sagan
All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.
Carl Sagan
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
Carl Sagan
I'll find others from Aubrey Burl & Dawkins,Henry Hodges a nd Clark. Good to see they were open-mnded.

Dear Espumpin,
I'm familiar with your recommendation, but listened again anyway. Would that the likes of, and Carl Sagan had lived longer, and that all would take time and trouble to listen to them. I wonder if Paul, who seems to hold Sagan in high esteem, thinks any less of him for having made the film CONTACT.
I can say this to you now, welcome to some of my perspectives of the cosmos and everything. You can now begin to perceive of the comfort level I have reached, re the universe and how it functions, and that which is beyond this universe.
Over specialising, as letters after my name, would have narrowed my vista of thought so much, it would have precluded and prohibited me from seeing the bigger picture, like trying to see the entire contents of a room through the key hole of a locked door.
Be well, Leah.
November 11th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Never to late to learn, huh? Me I thank Paul for the new 411. As ignorant as I had been most of my life I didn't think anything could get thru this thick-head. This is from
DR. Carl Sagon Who I think i'll be researching & reading about for a long time to come. Read this, its from "Who speak for the earth"………………
We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. We are creatures of the cosmos and always hunger to know our origins, to understand our connection with the universe. How did everything come to be? Every culture on the planet has devised its own response to the riddle posed by the universe. Every culture celebrates the cycles of life and nature. There are many different ways of being human.
But, an extraterrestrial visitor examining the differences among human societies would find those differences trivial compared to the similarities. We are one species. We are star stuff harvesting star light. Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the sun, the moon and the stars. Our ancestors knew that their survival depended on understanding the heavens. They built observatories and computers to predict the changing of the seasons by the motions in the skies. We are all of us descended from astronomers.
I hope this will bring me to a new level of understanding why I had so many doubts.

November 11th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I was laughed at, per se, when long ago I said "Space contained free floating atoms, etc etc, and so at least the regions we knew about then, were not a true vacuum"…..but thats not to say there were no regions that are true vacuums. Just not in our vicinity of space.
That concept is no longer funny, as our desire to travel in space, and at greater and greater speeds, are hindered by the damage that these particles would cause to space craft…and so we must attend to the developement of shield technology before, especially manned space travel can be safely undertaken at great speeds.

How they plan to bring about a lie.
What is the Blue Beam Project?
by David Openheimer
It involves two things. A technologically simulated "second coming" and the reemmrgence of new "MONTAUK" type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a "rapture" type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men and dictate all actions and thoughts. The calculated resistance to the new religion, the New World Order and the new "Messiah" will entail human loss on a massive scale in the ensuing "holy wars".The "BLUE BEAM PROJECT" will pretend to be the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old; as major an event as that which took place 2000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the sky as a holographic projection screen for space-based laser-generating satellites (star wars). These projectors will project simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet, in every language by region. It deals with the religious aspect of the NEW WORLD ORDER.
The "system" has already been tested. Holographic projections of the "CHRIST IMAGE" have already been seen in some remote desert areas. These have only been reported in tabloid papers, so they are instantly rendered moot. They can also project images of alien craft, aliens, monsters, angels – you name it. Computers will coordinate the satellites and software will run the show-and-tell.
Will they show us an alien landing? Why would this really be created?

Leah
November 11th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Dear Espumpin,
Any person can choose not to react. Any person can choose what they believe. Non resistance is not acceptance by default.
So if people watch the show, then when the show is over, simply continue to believe in what they choose, and go about their daily business, there is no resistance with which to justify a new round of Holy wars……like the crusades.
Its about how to try to uphold the continuation of an old lie.
Leah
November 11th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
People should get to grips with self control.
Not allow theirs emotions to dictate their verbal or physical reactions.
Sudden verbal outburst, instead of considered and measured response…..or silence, just like uncontrolled physical reaction, is to play into hands that thrive by feeding off cacaphony and chaos.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
The last thing I'll comment on re the Mayan Calendar. If one uses their astronomical configuration as at the start date of their calendar, it is possible to calculate by the positions of the constellations / stars upon which date their calendar ends.
Apart from the rehashing of "calendars" several times throughout history, I have yet to find an astronomer who can conclusively proove what year we are ACTUALLY in according to the positions of the contellations etc. No Astrologer either.
Naomi had posted on the other thread re….It could be 2012 now.
November 11th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
On the off subject again Just a Thought & C.A. This for youse.
WAKE UP AMERICA-
WASHINGTON (Nov. 11) – A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.
"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
This may not be geo-astro-space/time cosmic stuff. But if we don't pay attention a cosmic event may be the last of our worries.

Hey Pauly, welcome back!
I see that its impossible for you to govern yourself with regards to using insulting threads when you don't agree with someone so I'll accept you as the weakling that you are.
I also see that you continue to pick and choose which questions directed at you you wish to answer. I guess you looked and science can't explain why it was that civilization sprung up in one location on earth almost overnight.
Paul this site requires no proof from anyone. We're here because we're interested in the subject and we all have ideas.
This is what wikipidia has to say about a geomagnetic shift :
The Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting from northern Canada towards Siberia with a presently accelerating rate — 10km per year at the beginning of the 20th century, up to 40km per year in 2003.[7] It is also unknown if this drift will continue to accelerate.
So now we know. The real question should be how a SUDDEN MAJOR shift would affect us all.
We all choose to read different material and we choose whats believable to us.
Your science was once under the impression that the world was flat. Things change. Someday, something else will be discovered and you will say, now its true. Before it wasn't true but now it is which is stupid in itself. It shows your lack of thought or imagination. If it isn't something regarded as acceptable by very conservative science then its not acceptable to you
I was looking at a rerun of the Brady Bunch the other day and their maid had made them all a wonderful healthy dinner which consisted of this huge steak with lotsa potatos and gravy and buttered biscuits. She said something about making sure they all got their daily portion of red meat. Oh but wait a minute. That was old science wasn't it? Daily red meat isn't all that good for you is it?
Science changes.
Science is only an explanation for whats been discovered and sometimes its wrong at that. As for lost civilizations, ever heard of the Olmecs? Ever heard of the Ubadians?
Did you ever take a look at the Baalbek link I put up? No, all you did was poke fun at aliens.
Its ok man. You don't believe in God, gods, or aliens. This does not mean that they aren't real does it? You are not the last authority on this matter. You simply have an opinion like anyone else.
Theres an old saying that I'm rather fond of: Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and they all stink.
I find it somewhat difficult dealing with closed minded fools like yourself whom it seems only understands insults and the like but I do this for entertanment so I'll continue.
This is a free blog to express our opinions man and if you don't like it. YOU can STFU.
Martin, if you want to know what we're talking about look up in Google the word Anunnaki and then look up the biblical passage Genesis 6. This is what we're talking about.
Paul, why was the SPT built in antartica? there are many other more hospitable locations that would have accomplished the same end results those scientist claim to be studying.
So many lies so many secrets.
Paul seems to think that our Government tells us everything. It reaveals all scientific discoveries immediately so that we can all be informed.
And Santas gonna bring you a brand new telescope this Xmas so that you can look at your true home, the moon, you lunatic.
Tired of crap,

When the ancient built these cities with the temples and all they had logistics to consider. There was no more hunter/gatherer existance. It was animal doestication and agriculture and watering and waste management and literature and schooling, commerce and laws.
I don't see the logic where anyone can even imagine that these insights would come to a civilization overnight. All of these things discovered at once!! At once!! Thats how science describes what happened at Sumer.
Todays science cannot explain how this event occured yet Paul wants us to believe that science explains it all.
Everywhere I've looked I can't find an explanation. So what do I do? I look to see what the actual civilization tells us happened. Guess what they said?
They said that the gods that came from above gave them the knowledge. But the scienece of today that can't explain shit chooses not to accept what the people that were actually there have to say about it.
Is it me or is this a literral retarded scientific approach?
If I want to know aboout something that happened I ask someone that was there. Not a monday morning quaterback that will tell me how he would have had it done.
Its stupid to argue this point with someone thats derisive such as Paul is.
The good thing about all this is that its about to come to a head. The next few years will be amazing. This is and will continue to be the most exciting time to be alive. We will bear witness to amazing and spectacular events.
Many will be left in wonder.
Paul, dersions does not make your opinions more viable dude. It just makes you sound like the rich kids making fun of the poor. This is 2008. That attitude is understood scientifically todays as some kind of insecurity. You sure you ain't scared?

Good to know you are well. D mentioned posturing. Many who do, fail to notice how easily others can capitalise on their posturing.
Further, how the asking of a question is taken as an assumption that the enquirer has no knowlege of that field.
Andre mentioned 2 points, probability, and carbon dating. Likewise Paul contributes.

Hello Friends,
Must say that the last few comments were very interesting…
I particularly liked the questions put to Pauly by Becky and Leah… And to follow it up, Rico hit the nail in the head when he said "paul just chooses which questions he wants to answer"..
This is what i want to ay to Paul -
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
He is so stiff headed, let me see if these Air Waves pass through!
November 11th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Just A Thought,
Good to hear from you…
I'm sure you would be having the time of your life reading the comliments from Pauly! Just like me and some others here!
Its really great to know that some people have such good ESP or Remote Viewing Skills that they are able to tell us about our own lives ( Or the lack of it…)
November 11th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I dont understand why its so hard to believe that M113 might be possible….
Maybe they are using this name so that we can relate the object to Messier's Catalogue..
We, on Earth have no right to say that such and such body does not exist because it has not been seen or proved..
For that matter, i may start believing that Antartctica does not exist! Simply because i have not seen it.. Others may have seen it but why should i believe them??
And i found this comment from Paul quite interesting – "Hurling numbers at me about DNA pairs, splicing and the Fibonaci Series amidst a crazed, foam-flecked rant is not going to endear me to either you or the subject. While I have a slight interest in biology I certainly don't know enough to give you definitive answers or make grandiose statements."
Look at his attitude!!! When we provide scientific facts, he says that we are hurling numbers at him! And when we quote ancient texts, he discards it as rubbish!
Paul, if you think of Fibonnaci Series and DNA as "Crazed, Foam-Flecked Rant", then i must say that i have never seen any man do more disgrace to Science than you, by calling himself a man of science!!
And get this notion out of your head that i want to endear myself to you! I tried to find some shreds of civility and logic in you, but i failed miserably!
And its high time that you stop acting as the "Owner" of this thread. Dot tell us to Shut Up. If you cant cope than pack up and leave, or continue your bullish monologue, i dont care!
November 11th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Sorry Leah, I know you don't want us to stoop down to the name calling level when we encounter one but I duon't know…It was fun?
I won't do it again. I promise I'll handle all the loud mouthed incredulous threads with more sensitivity in the future. I'll leave Paul on his high horse and I won't direct any threads at him again.
I already said what I had to say on that and like my good friend says "its is what it is", nothing you can do.
have a good nite friends,

November 11th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Dear Espumpin,
Like i said, i dont remember exactly what G Joe said.. But i am pretty sure that this is what he was referring to… And whatever research i have done after that to follow it up was presented to you..
People may find hard to stomach (No pun intended) Manna or White Gold.. But substances rich in Iridium and Rhosium (Natural ORME) have always been known to possess extra-ordinary capabilities… Grapes, Carrots, Aloe Vera.. Aloe Vera is being re-discovered these days and people are slowly realising its wonderful properties… Arthritis, Asthma, Obesity, Blood Pressure… tell me something which Aloe Vera cannot cure! And these substances still have a relatively small measure of ORME as compared to Mono Atomic Gold.. Just imagine what good it would do if there was enough faith and enough expertise available to guide people towards the correct ingestion process….
And Paul, Shut Up! Pre-emptive strike, i just knew that you would be itching to reply to this!
November 11th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Rico,
I admire your resolve…
Because i am not sure i can make such a promise.. And you know as surely as i do that Pauly Dude is gonna be back with venegeance!
November 11th, 2008 at 11:39 pm

If any data manipulation is being done, its the govt. who is doing it…. Because they are the masters of this art.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Leah. Whatever ground rules there are they certainly aren't mine. What I'm trying to get across to the crackers here is that this is a site supposedly devoted to astronomy/cosmology/space explorationm and similar scientific subjects. Practically everything you list would come under the heading of, "let's discuss". As far as I'm concerned alien visitations gods of any stripe are not relevent here.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:46 am
Leah. As I've said previously, I believe that alien civilisations exist somewhere, indeed everywhere, in the universe so Carl Sagan writing a book about it is no problem, why should it be? The film was ok. I belong to The Planetary Society and have sent money to the SETI Project. I see no incompatibilty between wanting to search for life out there, believing it exists and scoffing at the lunatics who say aliens built all the stone monuments during prehistory.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:52 am
Espumpin. Not only are you unable to spell but it seems that you are unable to read properly. I agree with Sagan [not Sagon] that life exists out there but nowhere does he say that the gods primitive people worshipped were aliens who visited earth and nowhere does he say that megaliths were erected by aliens.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:58 am
I didn't say the Fibonaci series, DNA splicing etc were foam-flecked rants. I said that putting scientific data/ideas in with rants about ancients gods and the howling you and some others indulge in isn't worth trawling thrrough. Once again you read only what you want to see. As for me not answering all the questions you and your ravening horde hurl at me well I haven't the time or inclination to give the wild stuff my time. Talk to me about astronomy and I'll resspond otherwise go and bother your gods.
November 12th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Paul, Becky asked you the following questions –
what do YOU think would necessitate the building of the SPT??? what is your "take" on HAARP??? why do you think a country (or government) would even consider NOT repairing the Hubbell telescope? and then there is the International space station, which we very seldom hear about anymore…but cost billions to build and maintain…yet we are not privy to any of the pictures or film footage shot by our astronauts (except by whistleblowers on conspiracy-theory websites) that clearly show unidentifiable "flying objects" trekking across the planes???
One would think that they all relate to Astronomy…… Whats your take on these?
And here's what Rico asked about SPT –
"Paul, why was the SPT built in antartica? there are many other more hospitable locations that would have accomplished the same end results those scientist claim to be studying."
Do you have any answers? Please enlighten us.
November 12th, 2008 at 4:24 am
As I said earlier I'm trying to answer the questions as they come up unlike you. Whre's the evidence for the pyramids being built in 11000 BCE? If you read a previous post about the construction dates perhaps you'd be prepared to comment.

Yes Amit it is entertaining,
we can be sure that there are even people who think PJ is wise and open minded but at PJs own advice I do not believe it because it has not been seen.

Anyone know where I can find a blacksmith skilled at working with unattainum? My unicorn needs a new set of shoes made.
November 12th, 2008 at 5:08 am
To whoever. I've forgotten which one of it was. 'My' science never thought the world was flat. The Greeks, the real ancient ones with knowledge, worked out it was round. I think it was Eratosthenes or Aristotle work 'discovered' that.
Yes geo-mag poles are wandering as htey always have and always will it's just thatthey won't flip and happen suddenly. See the original article at the top of the page.
You and the other idiots here refuse to accept science and scientific enquiry because it doesn't provide you with the comfort offered by religion/visiting aliens or conspiracy theories. Ooo, the government are hiding stuff from me. Of course they are but it's not the 'truth' about alien visitations. If yoyu have to resort to quoting the Brady Bunch …. well I'm laughing out loud at that because if you have to go to those lengths I think reason may yet carry the day.
Yes I did look at Baalbek. Big stones. So what? Stonehenge. Big stones. Moved by and erected by the inhabitants of the British Isles.
Science facilities are often built in remote place away from light pollution, contamination and as far as away as possible from people like you to cut down interference [and I don't mean from telepathy/telekenises]
Check out what I said previously about aliens. They exist but no evidence they're here or have visited.
If you perceive me as the guardian of this site well thank you. If sane people don't defend reason and rationality then you lunatics will finally have taken over the asylum. But I'm certainly not any sort of guardian as I notice one or two inhabitants of the real world are adding comments. Hurrah, we'll beat the buggers yet.

Damn. Just when you think it's safe to put your head out back comes 'Just A Thought'. Space ship break down on the way to M113 did it? Perhaps you'd like to give us the coordinates/constellation etc so we can wave to it in the night sky. If we ever bump into you and you crew how do we recognise you? Do you have tentacles, pseudo-pods, claws, sucking, slithering feet? We should know so we can pick you out from amongst all the other beings with tenatcles etc.

HAARP. What's the problem there then? Atmospheric research. Any heating caused by the apparatus isn't too big or in fact very big. Consider the amount of heat energy hitting the ionosphere following a Coronal Mass Ejection or during normal solar activity.

OK 'Just A Thought'. Where is M113? I think you us all that much.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:53 am
good morning, dear friends–paul, like it or not, you are all-inclusive!!!
paul, i am truly sorry you feel like we are a bunch of cockroaches who have taken over and infested your thread…i mean no disrespect, but this "ravening horde" has become a force to be reckoned with…
what one does not think of, another one will…and we support each other unconditionally…irregardless of the paths we choose to take…thoughts about a certain subject do not necessarily dictate opinion…they are ideas and understandings–sometimes misunderstandings–WITH THE HOPES OF BROADENING OUR OPINIONS…
intent and perception play a huge role here…
i, for one, have truly enjoyed the bantering that has taken place here…it even provided a couple really good "belly laughs" for me–and God only knows a good sense of humor is almost a prerequisite for survival…sometimes–especially me–we are very child-like in our pursuits… and i find that very refreshing…our curiosity and inquisitive natures should not be tainted by boundaries…
JAT–i know where there is a unicorn ranch…it is in the disenchanted forest about an hour northeast of phoenix…i will zap you the coordinates–i will recognize you by your spirit…
i do have some thoughts about project blue beam and others mentioned over the past day or so, but i will save them for another day…
unconditional love and best wishes to you all…
becky
November 12th, 2008 at 7:16 am
another afterthought–please forgive me…though we may not see eye-to-eye with paul, and though it may be difficult to do–it may not be such a bad idea to embrace him, and those who think like him…it MAY serve a GREATER purpose, for us all, a little further down the line…
sorry–just thinking out loud…
November 12th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Everything is relative to everything else. Its why physics etc seeks a unified theory that applies to both the Macrocosm and Microcosm. A unified theory has to explain that which is Above and that which is Below.
Dear Paul,
This is not a British website, all people writing here are not English, and the days of Empire are no longer. So, why insult someone who has bothered to learn English, re the spelling and reading capability. How many languages do you speak or write in ? It is a British failing to shout louder and louder at foreigners, which you have achieved in writing.
There are still those that think of the whole world as being the foreigners, her in the UK. Some when abroad on holiday, consider the locals the foreigners, when in fact its the Brits that are the foreigners.
Leah
November 12th, 2008 at 7:56 am
In general. Men and their posturing….it is the argument and the fight that they enjoy, not the subject matter so much. Too much time and space being wasted here, and globally on self justification, and why each is right, and the other wrong, justifying why they are justifying…….and the what is gone.
Dear Ricochet,
Thank you……we'll see, like the blind man said.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:09 am
The truth about e.g. Messier's list and M113.
If further objects were to be discovered akin to those on Messier's list of 110 in total, a new list would be created, in order to be able to differentiate, and leave Messier's list unaltered. A different tagging system would be applied. So if there have been further discoveries the tagging would not begin with M111.
Paul, does your particular field encompass in any way, The Cosmic Web, Dark Flow or Great Attractor, Dark Energy / Matter ? Not my labels…..these were the titles given by your fellow scientists.
Leah
November 12th, 2008 at 8:12 am
Leah, I'm a Welshman NOT English and English isn't my first language. I also speak some German and a small bit of French. When I go abroad I most certainly do not shout and hector the inhabitants of the country I'm visiting. As for the Britsih empire well I'm rather glad it's gone really.
The ravening horde I mentioned isn't a force to be reckoned with at all. I just wonder why they need to be on this site at all. Surely they have their own where they can twitter to each other and reinforce their beliefs.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Rico. I started out trying not to to deride individuals just their unsubstantiated beliefs. However once the ranting started it became quite obvious that at least four of you don't seem to want to accept science even with it's failings and have opted for the unknown. Exploring the unknown IS how we move forward for sure but embracing myths and legends as substance is a very dangerous path to tread.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Howver. Let's pause from the back-biting and name calling for a moment, though I'm happy to return to it, and consider the original article. There will be a geo-mag pole reversal though not in 2012. There is no connection with the end of the Mayan calendar. So far so good. Now can the, ahem, doubters say why they believe it will happen then and why a catastrophe will occur in words that even I can understand. Not a big ask really.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:32 am
Leah. Yes the Great Attractor, the Great Wall and the rest are astronomical ojects and worthy of discussion on a site such as this. You are most definitely correct in saying that objects similar to those in the Messier catalogue have been and are being discovered. However they are not added to his catalogue. They are included in the New General Catalogue [NGC] that dates from the late 19th century, the IC catalogue, the ARP named after Halton Arp a famous American astronomer. I'm not quite sure but I imagine that as Messier's was the first catalogue of it's kind it's become almost sacrocanct and stands as it is. I think the first stellar catalogue was devised by Hipparchos who gave the stars their magnitudes around 2000 years ago. Then John Flamsteed in the 17th century as the first Astronomer Royal numbered stars in the constellations that hadn't been given names in antiquity mainly because they had been too faint too see.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Becky. I have never refered to the people here as cockroaches and certainly don't consider any of them to be. I just think they're poor benighted people frightened of the light brought by science because it is rational and sheds the cold light of reality on their ridiculous beliefs e.g. aliens building the pyramids an dgiving the Nazis advanced knowledge during the second world war. As I asked at the time, 'What was it?'. And it didn't help them at all did it so it couldn't have been much good or very advanced.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:44 am
In the Sun newspaper Nov 5th, pictures of an object in the sky, and a red beam. For some, unaware of the latest laser weapons tech, its a UFO. For those that are aware, of laser, and e.g. Compressed Sound, tech…..it was a test. Me, I leave room for a couple percent doubt, because I was not there.
So, not having been around the last time the poles shifted, flipped, reversed, I cannot be sure that enough data has been gathered, or whether it is a complete representation of all the conditions that were the cause.
One thing that can be relied upon is change….when a pole shift or reversal next occurs, it will be different to a degree, than the last time.
Had an object from space passed Earth close by, in the past, only its effects might be evident. Like a house that has burnt to the ground. The cause, being the flames are no longer visible, or inspectable, but their effect can be analysed.
Never say never. It is not for man to decide what is in the cosmos. So, just because one cannot detect something to date, does not mean it won't be detectable in future….especially re telescopes that are operating with a greater, and different range of frequencies.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:47 am

Dear Paul,
I am aware of their astronomical nature…..I had asked whether they were included in your specific field ?
I ask so that if they are not…..I won't bring them up again.
Leah
November 12th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Campfire….if one wanted to know what might have been meant by M113…..now you have it by formula. Paul has kindly provided the name and list where the 3rd object on the list MAY BE what was refered to as M113.
November 12th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Our position in the Galaxy / Space, both as Earth and as part of the Solar System, is determined by the observations of Astronomy / Cosmology. The observable positions of stars, constellations etc. Our position, determines where and when our Solar system is re the Galactic year, NOT clocks or calendars.
Is this a fair description ?
November 12th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Determining where you are in space can be done by refering to solar system coordinates and galactic ones. I think as clock is necessary when finding out your position in what is called Right Ascension which is the space equivalent of longitude. Again any book on astronomy or a good online source will sort you out. By all means bring up the subjects on your list. Some things I feel confident in discussing others not so. But if I don't know I'll say so before commenting and not try to baffle you with the scrapings from my cat's litter tray.
Over and out for now as it's home time.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Carbon dating has already beeb proven inaccurate. The Pyramids actual date of construction is in controversy.
The Greeks were not the real ancients as their knowledge also came from Sumer. This is all fact.
Science went through many languages until the Sumerian cunieform language was found to have no "loan words" therefore making it the first known written language.
Get it together Paul.
-R-
November 12th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Paul just so you know. The first schools, the first laws, the first wheel, the first doctors, the first surgery, the first, agriculture, the first wheat, the first barley, the first grapes, the first metal forging. I could go on and on on this. All came fom Sumer.
The first civilization came from sumer. This rather puts a crimp in the science theory of evolution.
If the evolution theory were valid then should'nt have some of these discoveries occured simultaneously or almost simultaneously in other parts of the world?
Its not a question Paul, don't bother trying to answer. Just pointing something out.
Some people apply Ockham's razor when researching. Had this been done when studying the REAL ancient tablets that were discovered in the region. (30,000 tablets at Nineveh alone). Then we would be further studying ancient astronauts. Because using Ockham's razor we simply would have looked at what the actual scribes of the times had to say as to how they acquired such advanced knowledge. This is the simplest way to do things.
But no, they sent a bunch of Paul Eaton-Joness' out there and because they couldn't accept the obvious. They created "myths".
Notice Paul that the real myth creator is science? Again, don't answer. The question is purely rhetorical.
Quantum technogy will probably help man reach the stars. Quantum technolgy isn't something new. Its just that man is just begining to understand this. You say that there are alien civilizations out there which is obvious. What makes you think that their civilization isn't so much older than ours and that they've already mastered quantum technology long ago?
Why is that impossible?
You believe in other things that you cannot see. You accept them as fact. I'm sure you belive in Neutrinos yet you can't see them.
The fact that we can offer nothing that you would consider proof at this time does not mean it isn't fact Paul.
What would be the purpose of this blog at all? You can answer the question put to the blog can't you Paul? What is there to discuss?
If you go look again at the intiation of this blog you will find that 2012 is mentioned as well as planet x and other unaccepted theories. So this site has a broader more complex basis than you are giving it credit for.
I don't know of one farmer today that has erected stones on his farm to tell him when the winter soltice is or any farmer that watches the stars to determine anything about his crops. Yet science has said that this was the reason that these structures were erected.
Give me a break.
What I'm trying to convey is that science is not perfect. In fact when looking at science and mankind in the grand scheme of things. Its rather young.
I don't care what anyones opinion is, just like no one really cares what mine is.
I'm saying right here and now that some beings whose origins were not of this earth gave men the knowledge to built and erect the structures that we found left behind all over the world. Furthermore. they gave the ancient peoples of mesoamerica the knowledge to measure time and the knowledge of the stars. The maya calendar was made in accordance with this provided knowledge and so we have a calendar thats more like a timer, a clock thats ticking if you will.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
You can quote all the Sagan, Aubrey crap you want. I'll stick with Sitchin, Bramley and the likes.
You can call me any names you want and you can categorize me as any species of lunatic. I don't care. I'm 49 years old and being raised in the bronx I've been called worse.
I expect to still be around on 2012 so I'll wait and see what happens. If nothing happens so be it. If something does happen then we'll see what it is.
Whatever.
Patient,
-Rico-
November 12th, 2008 at 11:39 am
By the way, some of the stones at Baalbek referred to as "just stones" by Paul weigh as much as 2000 tons.
Now I don't know how you reconcile this but today. As of November 12th, 2008, we have no machinery capable of moving these "just stones". They were moved to their present location from some quarry 6 miles away and RAISED to be used as a kind of base stones for this huge complex.
Don't get me wrong. But if todays science can't duplicate this feat then it's time it moved aside and let someone with understanding of what went on in those days take a crack at it don't you think?
I'm not saying that aliens or giants or sorcery was used to accomplish this feat. Others have said it long before we were even born and science has no answer.
The answer Paul provides is this "levers and ramps 'ol boy". Now paul you stand by yourself on this theory because science doesn't back you.
See how we all make up crap to justify our beliefs?
2000 tons, one stone, no explanation of this literally IMPOSSIBLE feat.
Hmmmmm, makes you wonder don't it?
Here, take another look:
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_baalbek_1.htm
See the size of the man standing by these stones. Imagine how this was moved 6 miles in one piece and then raised to a platform as you can see in the picture.
Paul likes to use derisve words and putdowns due to the fact that he nor the science he so fervently defends can offer a valid explanation and the fact that scientific theories have been exhausted as impossible.
Truly amazing.
There are wonders in this world that cannot be explained until such time as we accept what true ancient man has left us as an explanation.
I will continue to post my opinion that the 2012 date is in fact the end of a 5122 or so year time calculator that counts down to an end time and a new begining.
I think its arrogant for some people to think that man is the ultimate technological authority in this part of the universe and to think that because we don't have the technology to travel the stars that there aren't others that have accomplished this before man was even thinking about cooking his food.
Arrogance to think that man is the ultimate intelligence in this part of the universe. Arrogance to think we already have all the answers when its manifestly obvious that we don't.
We don't even know how or why our ancestors moved such huge stones to erect the most spectacular buildngs and cities that
the world has ever seen to date.
I haven't even gotten to the part of the MISSING piece stones that were located in slots inside the pyramid and were removed prior to their discovery by modern man.
No explanations at all.
How dare anyone have the arrogance to offer an explanation bypassing the explanation that the builders themselves offered?
Bear in mind that growing up science taught us that the Pyramids were pharoic tombs?
What a laugh that turned out to be huh? And we still have some that actually put a date on these structures and believe that the deate is irrefutable evidence. Carbon dating. Again, what a laugh.
We have some very intelligent people in our time. We even have Paul here whos is so smart he considers people like me an idiot because of what I discerned to be true in the absence of any valid explanation.
Its like saying, "I don't know what happened but because I don't believe aliens have visited us you are just stupid". This is what Paul says.
You're smart Paul, but you don't know it all.
Furthermore due to your lack of imagination, discernment, and chosen data imput, you are extremely limited. I may as well be debating a school book.
Levers and ramps 'ol boy, levers and ramps.
You should send that theory to some science review to see if they publish it. Science has not put forth that theory.
Unreal. There is a saying. There are none so blind as those that will not see.
Open your eyes 'ol boy. This world is bigger and stranger than you've been led to believe.
-R-
November 12th, 2008 at 11:46 am
This si a copy and paste from the Baalbek site I keep referring you to:
Our own science and engineering today cannot explain them, let alone what their function was. It would seem some unknown culture could move these great stones, place them on top of others, in perfect fit and alignment, before the dawn of our most ancient cultures.
What caused them to pass away without leaving a clue as to who they were and to what purpose they built such a stupefying platform?
Thats what science says today about Baalbek.
But Paul says it was "levers and ramps" right Paul?
Give us a link or rerfer us to a publication that backs your levers and ramps answer.
Talk about ranting!!
The only difference I see is that you add derisive remarks to your rantings.
You need to read the Bible. Its a REAL history book.

November 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I must say, I am very surprised at the discussions going on at this thread.
I was hopeing to find like minded individuals, that can conclude or discreidit.
This is about pole-reversal or shifting..right?
Anyway, Thecrust under the ocean is called the oceanic crust,it is much thinner than the continental crust.
It is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, the two types of crust are not made of the same materials. Oceanic crust is made of a denser collection of minerals than continental crust. the reason I bring this up is not only for backdrop but to explain.
how, ever since the tsunami greater understanding of the ocean floor and the discoveries of features like mid-oceanic ridges, geomagnetic anomalies parallel to the mid-oceanic ridges, and the association of island arcs and oceanic trenches are occurring together and near the continental margins, suggesting convection might indeed be at work. I may be getting ahead of myself.
The hot asthenosphere of the Earth finds a weak place in the lithosphere to rise buoyantly as a plume, or hotspot. This asthenosphere is like liquid rock forever shifting. Hot asthenospheric mantle rises to the surface and spreads laterally, transporting oceans and continents as on a slow conveyor belt. This is happening at an accelerated rate. Greenland has cracked in half and they blame this on global warming. HA! The following plates Antarctic, Indian, Juan de Fuza, North American & Caribbean have all shifted in the last year & a half.
This link..http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/ will let you see how many earthquakes have appeared over the last weak. A major earthquake will trigger a pole reversal but my friends and I believe it will occur before 2012.
So all that being said and done. I would like to add my 2cents to this debate with Paul. I am a 36yr old scientist who frimly believes in the one true creator. I do not give this being a name nor do I worship and pray to any entity. So for someone with as agreat a mind as paul must have, leaving out that which cannot be explained, lets you use less than 10% than the rest of us. You cannot dismiss God just because you have no proof. The Greeks left a temple built to the unknown god, so even they knew not to discount that which "you" do not know.
Yours Sincerely
Raven Turcotte
November 12th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Dear Raven Turcotte,
I've been observing earthquakes and the movement of the tectonic plates daily, for years. The plates move pretty much like the bones in our skulls, which do so regulary, but when the movement is not synchronised, that is to say one bone is slightly displaced say due to an injury, it can result in headaches etc. until the bone is realigned to its correct relationship visa vie the other bones.
Pressure certainly is building, but we can only hope (and possibly predict seismic events), that the rate at which this is happening does not increase too drastically nor suddenly.
Leah
November 12th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Dear Paul,
Let me save you a little typing time, and I say this with respect. I do not need sorting out in any way, at an amateur level or otherwise.
I have a self imposed rule, that if I want to truly know anything, I do the diligence, using all sources without preference, and from all Eras. The more facts and perspectives the better. What I don't do is take isolated opinions, or facts as being the final and definitive truth.
We have 2 things in common already, Wales and Cats. In order for me to better understand the precise area / areas we might discuss, please advise me, but only to the extent that does NOT compromise your position and workplace….etc
Visa vie Coordinates, to determine when, by where we are in space. With a Galactic orbit of approx 225 million years, how can we be certain that the speed at which our Solar System orbits the centre of the Milky Way, remains constant throughout the entire 225 million year duration ?
Further how can we be certain that nothing has influenced our orbit, causing a decrease or increase of speed, during just say the last one million years ?
Leah
November 12th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
My man Raven!! A true blue scientist!!
Thank you for your input Sir. You are a scolar and a gentleman.
Earthquakes, Polar shifts, meteors, asteroids, tsunamis, floods, volcanos.
So many things can go wrong.
I've read that scientist are under the impression that the earth is overdue a catastrophic event on the scale of the one that took out the dinosaurs.
Maybe Mr. Turcotte can enlighten us on this subject.
Now we also know that this planet didn't start 4 or 5 thousand years ago. Its millions of years old. I dare say that time and the odds are in favor of an ancient astronaut or fallen god theory on this earth PRIOR to Homo Sapien sapiens arrival wouldn't you?
I mean, isn't it science that says if you put, I don't know how many monkeys together to type or write and give them unlimited time they will eventually write sheakespear or somthing to that effect?
I don't just believe like Paul that there are intelligent beings on other far away planets. I believe that we as earthlings are relatively young in existance scientifically speaking of course.
I believe that given the odds we that we obviously have, more attention should be given the subject of ancient astronauts.
Being as how humanity as we know it has only been around like less than a week in world time terms. It would be a good guess that there are beings that are of a MUCH MUCH older existance that have mastered quantum technology and technologies that we aren't even aware of yet as to even name them, and that these beings visited earth before man became homo sapien sapien.
How's 432,000 years sound?
The odds are that this happened. Not the other way around.
Just basing the theory on a scientific guess using the amount of years that this planet has been here and taking all into account.
It favors alien visitation.
Not only do the odds favor alien visitation but this will also explain the origin of religion and the origin of God or gods as it may be.
IT WAS LEFT TO US LITERALLY WRITTEN IN STONE !!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean really. How much more plain do you want it?
Haven't you ever heard the syaing is it written in stone? What the hell did you think that meant?
It just does not get any more real than that.
Now, its like Leah said. There is no such thing as time. Its just the movement of the stars and such. So this calendar is based on where the stars will be at such and such time. It would stand to reason that it ends where it does because the stars wouldn't be where they could have charted and therefore an end of an age. After it all settles down again. We can then start charting again.
I don't know whats going to happen, but it won't involve a geomagnetic reversal.
Paul you realize of course that should this blog not incude this group it would be boring as hell right?

November 12th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
The first guy to post on this thread had it correct. I should have left it at that.
Paul, I'm really eager to see how you answer our new scientist friend Raven Turcotte, Should I call him Dr. or Prof.?
A a scientist and a believer in a supreme being he seems to have some understanding of both sides of the coin.
based on what hes observe so fa he suggest that you're missing about 95% imput in order to have better wisdom and understanding.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, What do you say to that?

Some people just know what they know and don't want to know no more.
Raven Turcotte,
as Leah said the crust is indeed in motion.
P J,
In a previous post said "just when you think it is safe to poke your head out…",
you would have been better saying "just when you think it is safe to Pull your head out". Really! If you are not to self improtant tell me who you imagine me to be or, where you formed your thought of how well you THINK you know me. Please.
HUMANS!
November 12th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Why, thank you for your responses. Leah, you sound like you have a handle on the plates. Yes, a major headache is the best way to discribe it.
I fear we are not going to be able to give the planet the "asprin" it needs & we are gonna have to ride out the migrain to come.
Ricco, I am alittle skeptical of ancient astronaut or fallen god theory. I am enclined believe in visitation from more advanced lifeforms, but I have to wonder if there is not some universal law, that prehaps we don't know about.
But, a mandate that would preclude tampering with our development. I just don't understand why they would talk to ancient man & not us.
The Annunaki were said to want to mine gold from our planet. Which would explain why they would come, but not why they would leave.
Also the Draconians are suppose to live under our earth as we speak. They feed off our kids and provide Goverments with weapons & knowledge. This gets into a grey area for me, sometimes it's just better to listen and learn.
All of which is a moot point if the earth reverses its poles. If there are beings out there who wish to present themselves as Gods, Saviors or masters.
Then they are proberly waiting for 2012 to come, so they can swoop down and for fill their calling. If they help us rebuild our civiliations after a catastrophe, even skeptics like Paul will be asking for our info on the subject.
By the way not that I was offended but it's
Mrs. Raven Turcotte.

Hey Friends!!!!
Your Lunatic, Ravening friend is back…….
Dear Raven, liked what you posted. Welcome to the thread. we look forward to more from you…
Just picking up a paragraph from your post —
"I am a 36yr old scientist who frimly believes in the one true creator. I do not give this being a name nor do I worship and pray to any entity."
Well, i couldn't agree more…. Its like my version of the "True Source"

Dear Rico,
Just to add to your points about Baalbek..
I am working in one of the world's biggest Engineering & Construction Company. And i have asked many experienced engineers about it.. When i asked one of them if there is any way to move a 2000 Tonne Stone through Levers and Planks? He almost went down rolling on the floor laughing! And i evicted a similar response from most of the others….
November 12th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
OK, Enough of fun…… Time to get back to some serious stuff lest my friends think that PJ has affected m so much that i have gone crazy!!!
Dont worry, i am way above all such Barn Capet! Just enjoying some harmless banter!
OK, Ancient Astronauts.. Have a look…
This is about the depiction of Spacecrafts in Ancient History…

I dont know if all those Artists were bitten by the UFO Bug at different times!! Maybe there was no Paul Eaton Jones to tell them that Extraterrestrial Visitation cannot be possible!
Poor folks, to be so disillusioned as to use their "imagination" to paint UFOs!!!!
November 12th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Raven, I agree that something will occur prior to 2012. I've been saying that for a while now.
2012 will just be the culmination of this event.
As you mentioned in an earlier post I was aware of 3 eathquakes in the last two weeks, one was right here in the northern waters of Puerto Rico and the other two were prior to that but they were in like two of those asian countries I can't remember which and being as how there wasn't much collateral damage I didn't pay much attention.
I know that to someone like Paul I sound like a raving maniac. I know this and I feel like some character in a movie thats witnessed a UFO and no one will believe him. Its how I feel. I tend to lend credence to my feelings. I also feel that there is something afoot. That something is going to happen soon. I've spoken to others about this and some people tell me they feel something to. Its like an expectation or something. Its like I'm just waiting for something, really weird and I know, really silly.
Anyway, its how I feel.

November 12th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Paul, looks like you doubt the possession of advanced technology by the Nazis during WW2.. Well, let me enlighten you about "Die Glocke"
"The Bell" (German: Die Glocke) represented something at the very pinnacle of SS General’s Hans Kammler's occult and super-secret SS "wonder weapons" empire. Nick Cook's book, “Hunt for Zero Point” represents the only publicly accessible information on this bizarre object in the English language, the equally macabre experimentation that surrounded it, and the stringent security the SS held it under. The following are the salient features of The Bell, according to information Cook received from both German and Czech sources:
(1) The Bell was reportedly a metallic object, approximately 9 ft. in diameter and 12-15 ft. tall;
(2) It looked like a "Bell", hence its codename to the Germans, die Glocke;
(3) It was comprised of two counter-rotating cylinders, rotating a purplish liquid-metallic looking substance code-named "Xerum 525" by the Germans, at high speeds;
(4) "Xerum 525" was apparently highly radioactive, being purple in color, and housed in cylinders with lead lining 3 cm (12 in.) thick;
(5) The Bell apparently required high amounts of electrical power in its operation;
(6) During use, it could only be run for approximately one to two minutes, as it apparently gave off strong radiation and/or other electromagnetic or unknown field effects;
(a) Several scientist died on its first operation;
(b) Subsequent tests included various plants and animals, all of which decomposed into a blackish goo and without normal putrefaction, within a matter of a few minutes or hours after exposure to its field effects when in operation;
(c) Technicians near the Bell during these experiments reported metallic tastes in their mouths after being exposed to it;
(d) The chamber in which the Bell was tested was lined with ceramic bricks and rubber mats, and had to have its rubber matting removed and burned after each test, and it was subsequently washed down with brine by inmates from nearby concentration camps;
(7) All the scientists and witnesses who saw or worked on the Bell were murdered by the SS as the war neared its end;
(9) A strange "henge" like structure was constructed by the Germans out of reinforced concrete near the facility where the Bell was located and tested. This structure resembled a test rig for the possible test of extremely powerful propulsion devices.
In charge of the Special Evacuation unit's "northern route" cell was a very high-ranking SS general named Jakob Sporrenberg, who was captured by the British and handed over to the Poles. During interrogations, he let out his knowledge regarding some mysterious high-tech machine called "Die Glocke" – 'the Bell'.
Following his capture, as much as Sporrenberg was able to divulge to Soviet intelligence and the Polish courts about the Bell was this, Witkowski said.
The project had gone under two code names: "Laternenträger" and "Chronos" and always involved "Die Glocke" – the bell-shaped object that had glowed when under test. The Bell itself was made out of a hard, heavy metal and was filled with a mercury-like substance, violet in color… The experiments always took place under a thick ceramic cover and involved the rapid spinning of two cylinders in opposite directions.
The tests involved placing various plants and animals within the Bell's influence. Almost all of them were destroyed: "A crystalline substance formed within the tissues, destroying them from the inside; liquids, including blood, gelled and separated into clearly distilled fractions." People in the program also suffered from "sleep problems, loss of memory and balance, muscle spasms and a permanent unpleasant taste in the mouth." Many of the scientists even died as a result of their exposure to the activated Bell.
According to Sporrenberg, this enigmatic 'Bell' was evacuated by the Special Evacuation Kommando before the enemy forces arrived.
So, what the hell was this 'Bell' that was so important?
According to Sporrenberg, it was associated with "vortex compression" and "magnetic fields separation," and a related source suggested that the Bell had something to do with "spin polarization" and "spin resonance." These were, Witkowski pointed out to Cook, "physical principles that had come to be associated with the new wave of gravity and antigravity pioneers – people like Dr. Evgeny Podkletnov."
Could this be it? Was the 'Bell' an antigravity device? Could this be what Kammler and others used to make a deal with the United States? If the 'Bell' really was an operational antigravity machine, it would have certainly been spectacular enough to effectively seduce the victors of the war.

Now coming to geomagnetic Reversal.
Scientists know that reversals have occurred many times in the past. The direction of magnetic grains laid down successively in the Earth's crust, particularly the sea floor are a primary piece of evidence. When the rock is new and molten the grains are free to align themselves with the prevailing magnetic field. As the rock cools, the grains are frozen in time. As the sea floor expands outward (in the Atlantic), it is regularly striped with rock oriented in different directions. This indicates that the magnetic poles have reversed many times throughout the Earth's history
Currently the magnetic field is experiencing a period of weakening. This may be a precursor to a reversal (and we are overdue for one)…
Losing its protective magnetic envelope, the atmosphere would expand and become thinner, possibly leading to altitude sickness near sea level. No longer filtered out, deadly cosmic rays would kill most if, not all, living creatures on the surface. Only those living in deep caves would be safe. This scenario has prompted some to build underground bunkers in hopes of surviving.
November 12th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Yo amit my man. I'm going to bed dawgz.
I catch up wit u guys tomorow. we all in different time zones so while most people are working I'm just starting my day.
I'm one hour ahead of EST. Imagine how east I am.
Rest up peoplez,

November 12th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Oh, Hello everyone. Seems to be quite a bite of hostility towards P.P. (poor paul). We should all act towards each other, as we are ourselves would like to be treated.
Amit, your on track but, thats not all thats effecting the magnetic feild. Anyone who has used a compass knows that magnetic north and geographic north do not exactly line up.
That's because Earth's magnetic dipole is tilted by about 11.5 degrees from its rotational axis and shifted slightly off-center.The Mayans new this was gonna happen, They somehow calculated for this.
Excuse me if at times I seem aloof, just a lot of thoughts so little time. At the north magnetic pole, the field is stronger, effectively keeping the inner proton belt farther away; at the south magnetic pole, the field is weaker, allowing the proton belt to come closer to the planet's surface.
A kinda streching motion, i'm sure most of are aware the earth is oval not round. Most of the proton belt is about 1200–1300 kilometers high, but it dips down as low as 200–300 kilometers off the lower coast of Brazil, creating a phenomenon known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.
It caused the fogging of the detector windows of some of the OGO satellites and resulted in the compromising of OAO 2 data. The charged particles in the zone can also build up static charges on satellites.
At certain altitudes, the South Atlantic Anomaly is bigger than Brazil itself.
It is getting bigger than that by the day. There are several geologic clues to ancient climate which in turn can tell us about continental placement on the globe.
Deposition of glacial sediments is one that is very useful in indicating cold climates and therefore possible pole positions. The specific things to look for are glacial scratches, varves, and tillites.
Okay now i'm getting off track and have to get back to work I live In Australia where is everyone else from? WBL
Yours Sincerely
Raven Turcotte
November 12th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Thanks for the info Raven… We are all from different corners of the world. Guess there was no one from Australia earlier,and now you fill that place very well. I am from India…
About Paul, well…. You need to go up and see who started this. And some where in between, i tried for truce as well. But he is so intent on name-calling and using derisive words against us! But dont think that we are serious at all, dont go by what Paul thinks of us… We are all having good fun. Earlier we used to get affected by such people and started serious deates.
Now we are used to it.. We have had more than our fair share of being called Lunatic, Rapacious, Depraved etc etc……
Leah is the angel amongst us. While the rest of us believe in a bit of Tit for Tat, she never gets bothered by this stuff and always maintains her dignity. Would take me a lot of time to reach that level!
November 12th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Alas I will not get A chance to respond today. I only can use the computer at work as for my credentials attended Charles Sturt University. I work for CSIRO, I specialize in atmospheric disturbances with N.A.S.A and other private companies & I live in Brisbane.
Any other questions i'll answer tomorrow.

About the South Atlantic Anomaly, it has worse effects than just static charge and fogging.It degrades satellite components, particularly semiconductor and optical devices.It induces background noise in detectors.It induces errors in digital circuits.
It is also threat to the astronauts.
The anomalous belt contains heavy nuclei (mainly oxygen, but also nitrogen and helium, and very little carbon) with energies below 50 MeV/nuc. The source of these particles are the so called "anomalous cosmic rays" of interstellar origin.
ACR reaching the South Pole indicates the hazards of the weakening Magnetic Field, and everyone knows that SAA is increasing in size gradually, who knows what proportions it might reach!
November 12th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Geologists and scientist have managed to identify the causes of the ice ages by observing the geological processes of the earth and connecting them all together. From the early 1800’s with Louis Agassiz and James Croll in the latter part that century to Milutin Milankovitch in the 1940’s, scientists have built on one another’s theory about the causes of the ice ages and their evidence to support it. As technology increased they discovered more about the way the earth’s processes worked and linked them all together to better understand the causes of the ice ages. Yes, the study of varves, tillites and glacial scratches is important indeed…
November 13th, 2008 at 12:39 am
Amit,
why do you think Einstein and a group of scientist fled to the US, because they were working on the atomic bomb and feared that it will fall into the hands of hitler!
So you say the scientists like Werner von Braun, Einstein, Heissenberg, Oppenheimer and and and were all taught by aliens?
That is certainly the crap of craps I have ever read. Read the biographies of these great Physicists and come back to common sense!
November 13th, 2008 at 12:51 am
actually I am from Germany, but live now in Thailand for more than 13 years.
Rico, the things you accredit to the Sumerians, it seems you take anything to fit your idea aboul aliens. Writings discovered before in China, most probably the oldest so far, then Mesoamerica. Do same reading before you state something as fact.
You just display the typical western conceit of first world countries and Asia India, Africa china as 2nd world? China has one of the longest uninterrupted histories of this planet.
November 13th, 2008 at 12:57 am
I just wonder how in 5000 years some of you would speculate about the bunkers build by the nazis in ww2
Suerly Aliens must have come to our planet and build them. And the small windows were there to compute the movements of the stars?
November 13th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Sorry but I just do not believe anything. I cannot see a point in believing something nor do I see a point in disbelieving something.
I do submit to logic and common sense. Aliens visiting us? Maybe. But we certainly in this case with their such advanced technolgy make them look very stupid!!
Don't you think they were clever enough to tell us the reason of their visit, their location of their homeplanet? Or do we really beliefe they are so stupid by passing on the knowledge of their existence to farmers and shepherds? This, according to their advanced technology that can travel through space, would just make no sense at all. If it were us, we surely put some information on material, that doesn't vanish that easily, gold, platinum or even more durable, and would engrave our knowledge on these tablets. Then we would place these tablets in just one location? Or wouldn't we put them in different places on the earth, especially mountains that will last for some times.
Just because you do not really understand how and why then you create these aliens and defend your idea fighting anybody who does not believe?
Sorry but all this Alien… just does not make any sense. It is simply not logical.
So I do agree with Raven, just harvesting gold and then leaving our planet without trace and not coming back just makes no sense.
Have a good day
November 13th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Martin,
My memory seems to be failing me… Because i do not remember saying that these scientists were taught by Aliens!! And as a matter of fact , apart from Einstein, i haven't even mentioned these scientists ever…
Get your facts right before jumping to such mindless conclusions….
November 13th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Martin,
Before opposing something so viciously, one must take care to acquire at least an iota of knowledge about the subject being contested.. And your knowledge here is so pathetic that its ridiculous….
It would be an utter waste of time to discuss these things with you.
You ask why would Aliens show their presence to Shepherds and farmers, i say they are the ones who created all the shpeherd and farmers!
You ask why would they place the tab;ets in one place? Now thats so absurd, who says that the Anunnaki prepared the tablets?? They were prepared by the Sumerians…
You blame us for creating Alien myths because we dont know who or why!! Well, you seem to have a fair idea then, please tell us what you believe, and on what ground…
Even the Scientists you follow have followed up on the work of the Scientists preceding them, and so on.. They all have relied on History at some point of time.. You cannot refute the authenticity of Ancient Texts altogether!
You seem so fond of Chinese History yourself, but what do you have to prove it? Nothing other than ancient literature i believe… So, if based on this literature, you can bang your drum about China, what reason is there to not believe in the Sumerian Texts??
November 13th, 2008 at 1:30 am
Martin, look what i was abe to dig out for you. Read carefully, it is your "Chinese Histiory" which documents "Alien Contact" in 3 different instances…
1. According to a report on China Economic Net, a story in the book entitled "In Search of the Supernatural" [1] by Gan Bao of the East Jin Dynasty (317 AD – 420 AD) tells of contact with Martians.
In the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms Period [2] (222 AD – 280 AD), the ancients wrote of child possessing a strange appearance appearing among a group of playing children. He was 1.3 meters tall, dressed in blue and had shining eyes.
The other children had never seen this newcomer before, so they surrounded him to ask questions. "I am not from the earth, but from the Mars," said the child dressed in blue, "I saw that you are playing so happily so I came down to see you."
"The state of having three kingdoms standing will not last long," the child continued. "In the future, the world will belong to the Sima family." The Earth children were scared by this news, and one quickly ran to fetch the adults. When the adults rushed over, the Martian child bid the goodbye and immediately shrank his body and jumped into the air.
When people raised their heads to watch him, they could only see a white silk cloth dragging a long belt, flying rapidly towards the sky. Nobody dared to spread the bizarre event at the time.
Four years later, the Shu Kingdom perished. Another 17 years later, the Wu Kingdom also perished. When the tangled warfare among the three kingdoms was over, the Sima family united China, just as the Martian child had predicted. Regardless of whether the above record is true, it points to the possibility of ancient with aliens.
2 According to "Researching Lost Records" written by Wang Jia during the East Jin Dynasty , during the time of Emperor Yao four thousand years ago, a huge boat-shaped UFO floated in the air above the West Sea . The UFO drifted slowly and had many lights. People aboard the UFO were seen wearing hats, and had white feathers growing all over their bodies. They had no wings but could fly. "Annals on the Five-Elements" written of the Qing Dynasty, recorded another incident involving hunting an alien. The incident took place in March of the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi. Some people saw a black-faced man flying fast through the air. His body was flashing red lights, as if setting fire in the sky. When local officials heard the news and rushed over, the man suddenly disappeared.
3 "The Chronicle of Disasters and Unusual Phenomena, Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" recorded an incident very similar to modern reports of alien abduction. On July of the third Year of Emperor Yongzheng during the Qing Dynasty, a group of villagers went into the mountains to cut bamboo in Liaojiatang of Wudu in Lingchuan. The group witnessed one villager suddenly disappear. More than 140 days later, he reappeared in his home. Fellow villagers reported that upon his return, the abducted villager was completely incoherent.
Documents and historical records involving aliens not only reflect the magnificence of Chinese history and culture, but also add mystical color to the long-unsolved mystery of alien beings.
November 13th, 2008 at 1:47 am
More food for your thoughts martin.
Early Chinese texts tell of long-lived rulers from the heavens who flew in "fire-breathing dragons". In Tibet there is a book called the Kantyua, which means "the translated word of Buddha". It tells of flying "pearls in the sky" and of transparent spheres carrying gods to visit man. Here to, the belief is of being reborn time and time again and not just to earth. The Royal Pedigrees of Tibetan Kings dates back to the seventh century. It states that the first seven Tibetan kings came from the stars, and goes on to say that they eventually returned to the stars.
November 13th, 2008 at 1:49 am
And if you're still hungry…..
The ancient Chinese records mention amazing, wise and humane (humane, not human-P.S.) beings, the" Sons of Heaven" Before the "Sons of Heaven" appeared on Earth, familiar celestial phenomena preceded all such appearances. A very ancient, pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet ("bon") described how a mighty "Friend of virtue and kindness" had appeared on Earth
Of all the "Sons of Heaven" it was Huang-ti who had left the "largest footprint" in the Chinese mythology. He first made his appearance in the Huang He River basin. Huang-ti was very different from other ancient heroes. He did not enlighten people, did not demand worship. Huang-ti and his helpers were amazingly rational beings. Of course, they did teach the natives all kinds of useful sciences, including the acupuncture. However, most important for them were their own affairs. And such affairs were dominated by the creation of complex, and alas, incomprehensible (at least, to us) apparatuses and contrivances.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:12 am
Jeez. I see the parental controls have been taken off some computers again.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:29 am
Martin. If you're going to stay and debate you'll have to put up with replies such as Amit has posted above. Always a small piece, usually out of context, chosen to back up their theories. Unfortunately whenever they post something of genuine scientific value worthy of discussion, and it does happen, it's buried deep within the rantings. Amit or Rico put up something very interesting about the Fibonaci Series, DNA splicing etc but it was among a load garbage regarding aliens or some such. Pity really. But try to stick with it. The more of people like you who engage the lunatic fringe the better then maybe we can push them off a science site and back underground with the Mole Men.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:42 am
I believe that the latest theories regarding the onset of the Pleistocene Ice Age was due to a number of factors including the collision between N&S America which diverted the flow of water that became the Gulf Steam. This body of warm water released huge amounts of water vapour into the air causing increased precipitation at the North Pole and northern Europe. This combined with rotational axial wobble [precession] and a probable variation in the orbit of the earth around the sun i.e. it became more elliptical and less circular, all added up to a lowering in global temperature by between 5-10 degrees Celsius.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:52 am
Dear Old Man PJ,
Looks like your Great Grand Children have finally let you use the Computer…
That was expected from you. Without reading what i said, without having any idea, you are so quick to discard everything.. But dont bother yourself, because your opinion is as worthy to me as the stuff which i flush down my toilet every morning…
The thing i posted about Fibonacci Series and Spilicing does not contain a single shred of Alien Rant or whatever you insist to call that. It just signifies your close-mindedness that you are seeing even bare scientific facts as "gabage".. I pity your state of mind and i pity your attitude even more!
And whatever you may say, whichever pretext you might use to counter our claims, we will always find something to back our theories, in your own premises, just like i did with Martin's Chinese
Its you guys who need to give proofs, me and my friends ave already lined up more than you can digest. And all you can do is hide behind you "Science", you keep ranting about Scientific Proofs, and you fail to produce any yourself! But when we talk in your language, you very conveniently choose to ignore it. How can a sane man try to argue with you?? Its only one way traffic from your side.
Get any number of your kind here, and i'm sure we will always be more than match to you and your thick headed bunch of self proclaimed "Men of Science"!!
November 13th, 2008 at 3:58 am
Rico. I don't for one minute disagree with your list about what the Suerians discovered – , schools, doctors, laws etc. It's a matter of historical and archaeological fact. I've said previously that I hold them ion the highest regard and love the Sumerian/Assyrian section of the British Museum.
BTW, evolution isn't a theory of the development of civilisation as you seem to think. Centre of civilisation appear to occurred at a number of places around 5000BCE.
November 13th, 2008 at 4:04 am
R. Turcotte. You'll find that many of your posts regarding geophysics will be seized upon by those who are looking for a catastrophe or series of events that tie in with 2012 and geo-mag shift etc. They can't seem to understand the slow, very slow nature of geophysical processes such as those. They see links between volcanoes, earthquakes,tsunamis and the slow wandering of the poles, auroral lights etc. Then they stitch it altogether with alien technology, visitations and top it off with a conspiracy theory. So easy for them. Bugger scientific rigour. If it's difficult and long then forget it they want an instant fix.
November 13th, 2008 at 4:08 am
PJ, i think you are quite wrong in your assumption about the Pleistocene Ice Age.
Our knowledge about ice ages was not known worldwide until Louis Agassiz, a Swiss naturalist came up with a theory in 1837. He studied the characteristics of the surroundings of the Alpine Glaciers and found that there were large erratic boulders different from the surrounding rocks and too heavy to be transported by water. He also noticed that the bedrock had been polished, scratched and grooved which led him to the conclusion that a large part of Europe had been covered by ice in the past. The evidence of erratic boulders in places where they should not be, such as England, Scotland and Sweden, was due to the flowing ice sheets that carried these boulders far from their place of origin. The ice sheets carried away rock debris which is a mixture of large and small boulders, silts, sand and gravel. As the ice sheets moved, the rock debris scratched and polished the bedrock as the enormous weight of the glacier pushed against it. When the ice sheets retreated, the rock debris was deposited to form a moraine which is the unconsolidated glacial debris. After Agassiz published his theory, evidence for Ice ages appeared all over the world. Similar characteristics to the ones Agassiz found were discovered in North America, and many other countries in Europe which allowed geologist to map the extent of the glaciers. In their maximum extent, ice sheets covered a large part of Europe, North America, United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Norway and the whole of Canada and the north of the United States. Further observations in sedimentary deposits in lakes allowed geologists to confirm that there have been warmer and colder periods within the Ice Age. Glacial lakes contain a type of sediment called “varves”. The main feature of this sediment is that it contains a pattern of recurring, well separated layers. The varves contain a layer of with relatively coarse silty material and a layer of very fine grains. During the summer, the melted water flows through the glacier and carries part of the rock debris with it. The bigger grains sink to the bottom and the finest grains remain suspended. During winter when the lake is frozen, there is no supply for new sediments and the wind cannot move the water downstream. Therefore the fine particles slowly sink and remain on top of the coarser grained layer. When the transport melts, the ice sheets moved, the larger pebbles are dropped in amongst the fine grained sediments. The varves relate to the ice ages because the presence of relatively large stones and pebbles in the fine grained layer do not seem to fit into the composition of the layer. This indicates that the ice advanced and retreated several times and gives evidence to support glacial and interglacial periods.

PJ, Dont be so hasty to count Raven in your Hopeless Bunch. We resepect her opinion because while stating her own views, she has not bashed ours' , and neither does she has a tendency to use derisive words and degrading comments like you. She seems to be a much more open minded person than yourself. And even if we have to argue with her, it will be done in a very civil manner..
Not everyone is like you, old man!
November 13th, 2008 at 4:28 am
The record of previous glacial activity is the best indicator for future ice ages. Scientists examine the evidence for the numerous 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycles within the present ice age to attempt a forecast of future ice ages. Since all previous ice ages lasted tens of millions of years, our present ice age will likely continue for a considerable amount of time. Each glaciation begins slowly and may take 80,000 years or more to reach its maximum extent. A rapid melting of these expanded glaciers within just a few thousand years follows. Then the next glaciation begins to build, only 10,000 to 20,000 years after the maximum of the previous glaciation occurred.
Evidence from both land and sea environments indicates that, at least prior to the human-induced global warming of the last two centuries, the worldwide climate has been cooling naturally for several thousand years. Ten thousand years have already passed since the end of the last glaciation, and 18,000 years have passed since the last maximum. This may indicate that Earth has entered the beginning of the next worldwide glaciation.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Amit at 04:08 today. What you say is correct. There have been a number of ice ages including two, possibly three, total coverages of the planet by ice [Snow Ball Earth]. I think it was recognised quite early on after ice ages were 'proved' that erratics, polished and scratched ice, glacial mud/till, morraines etc were the products of immense forces that acted over long periods of time.
November 13th, 2008 at 5:43 am
Ice ages don't usually last tens of millions of years. The total global one in the Pre-Cambrian possibly did but the Pleistocene only really kicked in 2 1/2 million years ago. These were typically 5-10 thousand years in extent with slightly shorter inter-glacial and inter-stadila periods. Technically speakinig we're still in the Ice Age and probably halfway through an inter-glacial

Additional. Off the top of my head the Ordovician ice age might have lasted more than a cou[ple of million years. Once I've flipped through 'Understandiing The Earth' I'll let you know.

FEMA Manual Has Guidelines for Dealing with UFOs
While the existence of aliens and paranormal activity is discussed seriously by fringe types and Dennis Kucinich, it doesn't get a whole lot of validity in mainstream. Still, as they say in the Boy Scouts, it never hurts to be prepared.
It turns out that firefighters' manuals all across the country — published in 1993 and distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency — have an entire chapter called "Enemy Attack and UFO Potential" that spells out how you should be ready during a UFO attack.
The chapter looks at the roles the local fire departments might play if aliens touched down, and depicts a "Close Encounters" situation where firefighters, "May have engine trouble on approaching the scene. Radio contact could be lost with your dispatcher …" The book even provides information on how injured aliens should be treated.
While giving the Heimlich maneuver to an alien seems reasonable, we're hoping the manual isn't instructing America's first responders to offer up some mouth-to-mouth.
Wow, why make a manual for make believe?
November 13th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Martin, I didn't credit the sumerians with anything at all. Science did.
Its a fact that all that I stated started in sumer first.
I realize that there are a lot of pyramids in china. I wish that they allowed western scientist access to them.
And paul, I didn't say that the sumerians discovered schools and the like. I said that they established many first and that their writings attribute credit for their knowledge to their gods.
If you think that I'll leave this site because you continually condescend and resort to insults, you're mistaken.
Dude, I'm not a young boy of 16 or even 25. I'm 49 and I've been exposed to all kinds of people. Many like you. I don't imagine that at work you react the way you do here when interacting with people. Blogs are great places to become puffed up and belittle others. In real life I don't imagine you that way otherwise you wouldn't have a job.
Its cool man, we each have fantasies. In here you can be the bully you wish you were in real life.
But I'll still be here and the aliens are coming back.

November 13th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Paul you say that other civilizations sprouted right around the time of Sumer. This is incorrect, all civilizations have their roots in Sumer. Even today, in the civilization in which we live we still use many sumerian firsts.
When I asked about evolution I didn't mean civilization evolution. It would stand to reason that the evolutionary theory would allow for aborigines living in the jungles in this age. However due to the fact that they were isolated it didn't happen did it?
Is evolution selective then?
Sumer is called the "the cradle of civilization" for a reason.
To give you an idea as to how old it was, when the Romans discovered the structure at Baalbek and they built on the ruins the temple of Heliopolis. The existing structure that they built upon was already ancient and Sumer was older than Babylon.
This is all fact.
I don't understand how you can call these people idiots and kinuckledraggers at that. They created the first civilization. By calling me an idiot you in fact call them idiots because all I'm doing is repeating here what they left us as their history.
But you know better right?

November 13th, 2008 at 8:09 am
Rico: re Sumerians.Whether you said they discovered or established schools, lasw, doctors etc makes no difference. Thje fact that these things were first formalised there is pretty much beyond dispute. I say again, the Sumerians were a great people who did it themselves without help from aliens. Prctically every culture dedicates building to gods, ascribes natural phenomena to the gods. Even in fairly recent history here in Europe storms, extreme weather etc were laid at the foot of God simply because most people didn't realise how nature worked. By all means believe gods helped the Sumerians and that aliens will return but don't clog up this site with your beliefs. There must be dozens of religious, alien conatct site sfor you to join. You're not going to find converts here.

Dear Paul,
Do you not see links between Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanoes etc etc etc ?
November 13th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Modern man in his arrogance, has convinced himself that NO prior civilisations or generations of man could possibly have been as, or more technologically advanced, than he is now.
The precise and exact attitude of human youngsters, that KNOW it all, but with the passing of time, come to realise that the older generations know a thing or 10 as well.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Everything we know today has been built upon the endeavours and knowlege aquired in the past, without which we would at best be cave men.
Each generation passes on knowlege to the next….so the foundation of todays technological capabilities, lies in the past. E.g. Einstein =past, Nuclear power stations =recent times and present.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:12 am
Leah. Yes I do see the link between earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. I'm not disputing that. I am disputing that the first two can be predicted with any accuracy as to when they will occur. Where they will occur isn't a problem. Geologists know that a 'quake will occur in northern Turkey and very recent tpredictions say that quakes seem to be creeping along the fault in sequence each one adding strain to the sticking point further west that could end with a very severe 'quake hitting Istanbul in the future [known as a cascade event]. But when this might happen they can't say can't.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Leah. I think it is a pretty safe bet that no civilisation in the past WAS as successful technologically as we are. That they were as intelligent as we are is not in doubt. It is quite obvious they were as can be gleaned from writngs about laws, the existance of gods[by that I mean they speculated about life after death, being different to themselves etc] which indicate a sophisticated intellect. One of the reasons we have a highly technological society today is the amount of free time we have to develop technology from thoughts, theories an dsheer speculation. The fight for daily survival in the west has now passed most of us by leaving time for contemplation. Until recently, the past 200 years or so, man's day consisted of tending livestock, tending and harvesting fields, working six and a half days in factories. The Industrial Revolution started the change physically. The Renaisance had changed things mentally and intrellectually.
The accelerating pace of change in the mid-late 19th century was mirrored by scientific advances in chemistry and medicine. Mass production brought huge benefits to the masses giving them a levgel of comfort and disposable goods that were unheard of a generation before. Wider education gave the working classes opportunities that had only been available to the upper and middle classes. I have no doubt that had the Sumerians/Egyptians etc not had to toil as hard as they did and more importantly been free they might have developed further as they were just as clever as we are. They are essentially the same people as were are – Homo sapiens sapiens. It's been a long time historically since the inhabitants of the planet have been physically and intellectually different from us.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Rico. At no time have I called the Sumerians idiots and knuckledraggers. Those comments were directed towards you, Amit, Just A Thought and some other nitwit who were ranting about ancient alien visitations, hidden knowledge known only to a few and similar rubbish. Your postings seem to imply that you have access to it. Why not go on television and share it with us? But then of course it wouldn't yours any longer would it?
November 13th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Following a recent trip to my local library I contacted the head librarian and asked her to re-classify books by von Daniken, Velikovsky and the like. I told her they should be removed from the astronomy section and placed in the fiction/fantasy section. Ideally they should be put in the rubbish bin but I thought that they should be kept so people might be aware of such scrawlings. She replied by email today saying that after a meeting and a read through a couple of them the library had agreed. Result! Darkness hasn't descended and we'll push the buggers back into their caves yet.

Saturn Dazzles With Mysterious LightSpace.com
posted: 1 HOUR 1 MINUTE AGOcomments: 31filed under: Science News
(Nov. 12) — An inexplicable new broad region of auroral light has been photographed at Saturn's polar cap. We've never seen an aurora like this elsewhere," said Tom Stallard, an RCUK Academic Fellow working with Cassini data at the University of Leicester. "It's not just a ring of aurorae like those we've seen at Jupiter or Earth. This one covers an enormous area across the pole. Our current ideas on what forms Saturn's aurorae predict that this region should be empty, so finding such a bright one here is a fantastic surprise."
These colorful atmospheric light shows are caused when charged particles stream along the magnetic field of a planet and into its atmosphere. On Earth the charged particles come from the solar wind – a stream of particles that emanates from the sun. Skywatchers at high latitudes know the resulting displays as the Northern Lights.
Jupiter's main auroral ring, caused by interactions internal to Jupiter's magnetic environment, is constant in size. Saturn's main aurora, which is caused by the solar wind, changes size dramatically as the wind varies.
The newly observed aurora at Saturn, however, doesn't fit into either category.
"Saturn's unique auroral features are telling us there is something special and unforeseen about this planet's magnetosphere and the way it interacts with the solar wind and the planet's atmosphere," said Nick Achilleos, a scientist on the Cassini magnetometer team at the University College London. "Trying to explain its origin will no doubt lead us to physics which uniquely operates in the environment of Saturn."
The new image, in infrared, was imaged by the Cassini spacecraft. It is reported in the Nov. 13 issue of the journal Nature.

Dear Paul,
Correct me if I'm wrong but….you seem in agreement that our knowlege and understanding to date is due to, past data, time to postulate, sheer speculation, theorise, and develope technology from thought…..another description of imagination, and daydreaming. Even designing and testing of said imagined technology, as was Tesla's methodology, and if you can guess, who else's.
I deliberately did not ask if your particular prefered field, is what you make a living from, as it is acedemic. It would seem that the answer to my earlier question, is ….Yes, one needs permission and to pay for a permit to THINK, and further, an even costlier permit to perform, SHEER SPECULATION, THEORISE, DEVELOPE TECHNOLOGY FROM THOUGHTS…….or to have an IMAGINATION AT ALL. Whats next, permit to be in posession of a BRAIN or MIND ? Maybe a permit for having EYES or EARS….oh thats right….a Birth Certificate….Permit to EXIST.
With respect Sir, you may enquire from me, debate, and compare thoughts and notes with me…..but what you most DEFINATELY may NOT DO is DEFINE ME.
Ricochet keeps a firm eye on the ancient texts. Amit keeps a firm eye on a whole slew of subjects, past and present, Becky brings observations on a philosophical level, Just a Thought brings short but piercing, usually missed signs e.g. Doppelgangers (not lost on me), Espumpin spots the signs around on several fronts…also how they relate to the big picture. Bad Bart brings the unusual.
Hopefully Raven will stay and bring wisdom re atmospherics (those things which cannot be seen, but can be detected and studied visa vie their effects), amongst other subjects, about which Raven obvioulsy has extensive wisdom.
BTW, not a word re spelling or grammer….whether an accidental slip of the fingure, or pressure to write quickly on your part……I have decided to believe that you can do neither, irrespective of the truth and facts.
I tire of the posturing.

Time is a man made tool to coordinate their actions on Earth. All other species continue to utilise rotation and orbit around the sun as their tools of coordination.
Time is Life is Time. Life is not defined by a clock.
Distance exists without both speed and time, being the space between 2 or more objects.
Speed exists without time, and distance, being momentum and not dependant on knowlege of, or the distance to be or being travelled.
Time does not exist without speed, distance, or both. When one quotes "In 1 Hour from now" one is stating in truth "when earth has rotated on it axis X= distance divided by Y=speed + same re simultaneous orbiting of the sun."
To date, the only way speed has been perceived, is in conjunction with Time. Speed is not dependant on time when a shift in perception is adopted.
November 13th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Many reputable scientists have proposed that in times past, the speed of Earths rotation was much faster than it is now, and have some evidence. Further that the speed of Earth's rotation has decreased gradually over time.
If in fact that was the case, I'll use the number 10, for ease of calculation and example….if Earth's speed of rotation was 10 times faster than now……a day then would have been the equivalent of 2 hours 24 minutes of our time (in terms of …frame of reference, 1 rotation on axis=1 day)…..but nevertheless a day it was. If the speed of Earth's orbit around the Sun was the same as now, a year would have had 3,652:5 days…..and what seems to us now, to be a very long year….but very short 10 fold number of days.
If the speed of Earth's orbit around the Sun was also 10 times faster, they would have had what seems to us now….both very short days and years. Time is relative, and is a variable….Einstein etc etc.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
An ancient text that quotes someone living to be say 1000 years old, would really be stating, 1000 complete orbits of the Sun. Without knowing the speeds of those orbits, we don't know how much of our time that 1000 years is relative to, within our present frame of reference of 24 hours=1 day, and 365.25 days = 1 year.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Morning all, For some reason I couldn't wait to see the responses. I want to explain that in my line of work it's sometimes better to not own a P.C. or laptop, so as to not give "them" a reason to investigate you.
Not that I have anything to hide, just i've seen how they've treated others under investigation. Thank you all for welcoming me into the fold, only a few choice of us whisper in corners some of the things discussed here.
Anyway, I am honored to be welcomed but the bickering with Paul must stop. Agree to disagree gentlemen, or Asses is all you make of yourselves. Be the bigger man and stop this is not helping in finding the solution.
Now getting into why we are here, scientists have uncovered evidence from around the world that the early Dark Ages may have been triggered by an actual event that occurred around 535 A.D.
Have you ever heard of a science writer named David Keys? He believes that the cause was a natural phenomenon of cataclysmic proportions. Alot of us agree with him here. We believe the world came to an end in 535 AD. Say what? They didn’t teach about this in High School, unless one is very young lol. They did teach that the Dark Ages started about then, right?. The Dark Ages weren’t limited to Europe you know, all over the world civilisations went into decline. More importantly, the Dark Ages weren’t caused by invading barbarians or some other human caused calamity, something else truly terrible happened that sent the whole planet into a tailspin. We can track back atmospherics conditions like the Mayans tracked the stars. Everything is in a pattern, just like history & we all know history repeats itself. And the greatest secret of history, what you were never taught at school or college, is that our planet had a global catastrophe in living memory, in 535 AD. You won't find this information elsewhere on the internet either. Something happened which caused the light of the sun to be dimmed greatly around the globe for 18 months. During this time, many trees did not grow at all. This event was followed by 30 years of unprecedented droughts and some flooding. This caused the death of a vast percentage of the population through starvation and disease. Now I must sound like a lunatic, but we have been tracking a fault line that is ready to set the volcanic arcs ablaze & we are not permitted to tell anyone. Our research used a seismic imaging technique (reflection seismology) to detect layered structures within the mantle wedge of the Tonga, Which by the way is in the subduction zone in the southwestern Pacific. Analyzing data from deep earthquakes that occurred beneath the subduction zone, we looked for seismic waves that traveled upward into the mantle wedge,until they reflected from the underside of layers within the mantle, and were recorded by seismic sensors in distant locations. We were stunned to find many reflecting boundaries in the mantle wedge above the sinking slab, and these are laterally extensive throughout the wedge region. This is surprising because the textbook version of mantle wedges suggests that there would be little structure.
We have been told in secret that soon the internet, you-tube really will be monitered and shut down. This is a friends lab top i'm using. Last night I used the one at the job but we have agreed not to do that anymore, this information must be spread some how someway. Again excuse me for jumpimg from subject to subject but time is of the essence. It is likely that the cause of this catastrophe was the eruption of the super volcano Krakatoa. (Note: The terms "Super volcano" is used for a volcano with hundreds of times the power of any that we have visually recorded in the past few hundred years. Use the term "super volcano" also for further research Sept. 12,1883, Java & David Keys). We now have two super volcanoes showing signs of getting ready to erupt. Each is bigger than Krakatoa. One is in Naples Italy and the other in Yellowstone USA. The Powers That Be know all this and are keeping this knowledge to themselves. That is probably one reason why they have so many DUMBS (Deep Underground Military Bases). They are planning to turn this knowledge to their own advantage to take control of us. However, with the knowledge of what may come in our life time, you can prepare so that you and your family are not affected. This reminds me of the end times you hear about, the U.S. elects someone the "whole world trust"? Okay, I gotta go i'll use this site but i'll be hit an miss. It takes so long reading everyones bloggs before posting I feel like theres something else I wanted to say.

Dear Raven Turcotte,
Yes……..just yesterday I was attending to Calderas, supervolcanoes etc. Is there one that consists of 12, that makes up the whole caldera ? Dumb question….humour me, please.
Such an eruption is simultaneoulsy the effect of 1 or more lets say influences, which in turn becomes a cause in its own right.

November 13th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Leah, Thanks I like the veiw you gave of me please here is part of the web-site I put the link to interstering stuff……
On May 20 I personally received information from a former member of the NSA (National security agency) through a third party. I wish to protect this man’s identity and so I will call him ‘G’. This is the first time this information is being made public.
G was subcontracted by the NSA in the late 1980’s and worked for the NSA until 1992. He was a senior electrical engineer in the Los Alamos underground base in New Mexico. G also worked at the Alamo Gordo DUMB in New Mexico and an underground base in Hawaii. He said the Los Alamos base goes two miles underground and is the size of a small city.
Whilst there he witnessed rows of caged humans, tall grey aliens and a reptilian alien. G says the NSA was very hard on all subcontractors and people were worked very hard under severe conditions.
According to G the US federal government, the USAF and the DOE (department of energy) run the Hawaii DUMB he worked at. This base goes down two miles and stretches out into the Pacific Ocean.
It was here that three very tall and muscular ‘Nordic’ looking men (who according to G were reptilian/human hybrids because their eyes would ‘shift’ into having vertical slits for pupils) chased him along the motorway there and threatened to kill him because he had overheard them talking about some piece of high technology.
Understandably G has been emotionally scarred from these experiences and does not like talking to people about them.
I was also told on May 23 from this source that in June there would be a huge amount of HAARP engineered earthquakes on the west coast of America and that the DUMBS there had already been evacuated and shut down. This was one hundred percent accurate because between the 21 and 28 of June there were at least 400 earthquakes on the West Coast of America.
I posted all this information on the God like productions forum on the net and within hours the post was hacked into and removed.
By executive order the NSA is exempt from all laws which do not specifically name the NSA in the text of the law. Which basically means they can do whatever they want and are answerable to no one.
This is because of its interaction with extra-terrestrial species and its twisted view that the people are children and cannot handle the truth.
There is currently an internal war raging in the global intelligence community regarding the alien agenda. This is between negative and positive factions. From my understanding one of the main negative factions is a group centred around MI6 and the CIA called ‘Aquarius‘. This group is covering up the truth, blatantly lying and discrediting or murdering anyone who gets too close to exposing what is going on. There is also a positive group centred around naval intelligence called ’Comm 12’ which is leaking accurate information regarding the alien agenda into the public arena.
When the missile (not plane) hit the pentagon on 9-11, it hit the naval intelligence section of the building. This was part of the internal war between Aquarius and Comm 12 being played out.
Aquarius has also enlisted the help of Hollywood and the mainstream media to twist the facts of the alien agenda and blind the public to the truth. Sir Martin Wakefield Jacomb was director for the telegraph newspapers in 1986. He is also connected into MI6 and is involved with laundering MI6 drug money through the bank of England. Jacomb was the director of the bank of England from 1987 to 1995. Former head of the CIA William Casey was head of the council of the media network ABC. Many Insiders refer to the ABC network as ‘The CIA network’.
The grey and reptilian aliens working together with the military in the underground bases is called MIEC (military industrial extra- terrestrial complex). This is a malevolent organisation, as you shall see with the following information. There are also benevolent ET’s on this planet. These groups are not part of the MIEC and are from the Pleiades, Andromeda, Lyra, Procyon, Tau Ceti, Sirius A, and Ummo. These groups seem to work together in some kind of protective ‘federation’.
On February 20, 1954 a delegation from these groups met with the Eisenhower administration in an unsuccessful effort to reach an agreement on the US’s thermonuclear weapons program. The stumbling block to these negotiations was that these ET’s were not willing to provide technology that might have been used by the military-industrial factions of the Eisenhower administration. These peace loving ‘human looking’ beings refused to be co-opted into the emerging military industrial extra terrestrial complex (MIEC) in the US, Britain, Russia and elsewhere on the planet.
On July 11, 1934 the first treaty with the greys from Orion occurred aboard a naval ship in Balboa. This was one of the most important events in human history because it thrust us into a role we were not prepared for as regards to being a host to a malevolent extra-terrestrial race. The US federal government disregarded the constitution of the United States by doing this and not telling the people. It was here that the agreement was first made between the greys representing the reptilians from Orion and representatives of the US intelligence community. The treaty stated that in return for the greys providing high technology (anti-gravity, metals and alloys, environment, free energy and medical technology) the government would allow the greys to proceed unhindered with human abductions. This was only if a list of abductees was provided to the government and the abductees returned unharmed with their memories of the events erased.
In 1944 the second extension of the treaty was signed. I have very little details of this.
In May 1954 again under the Eisenhower administration the third extension of this treaty was signed called ‘The Greada treaty’. The greys and reptilians blatantly broke the terms of this treaty as we shall see later in this information. The greada treaty was agreed upon at the Holloman air force base in New Mexico by the greys and the ‘Ultra’ unit in the NSA. The original document of this treaty and the ET materials from it can be found today at the NSA facility called ‘Blue moon’ underneath Kirkland air force base in New Mexico. The entrance to this underground base is in the Manzano mountains. Also at this location is the technological base of the secretive department of energy (DOE). Today free energy devices developed from grey and reptilian technology are being built for use in space at the DOE base.
On April 15 1964 two intelligence personnel met under ‘project Plato’ with the greys in the New Mexico desert to arrange a meeting on April 25 at Holloman air force base in New Mexico. This meeting was to renew the treaty again in a psychological bid to buy time in order to solve the problem of the greys and reptilians.
A truly nightmarish situation is now unfolding. Phil Schneider was a geologist, structural engineer and underground tunnelling expert for the US government and the UN. He participated in the construction of many DUMBS in North America and other countries. Phil was murdered by the CIA on January 17 1996 in his apartment in Wilsonville in Portland, Oregon.
In 1979 in Dulce New Mexico, Phil Schneider was drilling into the desert there to build an auxiliary base in the southern end of Dulce on top of an already existing underground base there. The already existing base had been built by the US government in the 1940’s under ’ operation blue note’ but afterwards had been taken over by greys and reptilians. Over a period of two days Phil and his team had drilled four holes in the desert that went down several thousand feet.
I'll crash the thread if I print all there is this is from only halfway through. You gotta check it out.

Dear All,
To admit, that there are those events and things which are NOT within the control of the Human race, in spite of its best efforts to understand in depth enough to gain control of through its technology, and to NOT speak of it, due to the panic it would cause, is a wise thing.
E.g. An unpublisised incoming Asteroid that humanity has not found a way to deflect or blow appart etc etc, and therefore the impact cannot be influenced or stopped, is better left unpublisised. If it were to be common knowlege….sadly there is a small percentage of people world wide, but enough in numbers, whos subsequent behaviour would make humanities remaining days a dangerous living hell on Earth. Looting, violence with and without weapons, acts of cruelty etc, as their self centred bitterness is unleashed in the light of a devastating truth.
Asteroid can be substituted by any prefered reference, but the scenario is the same.
Just the mention of food shortage has resulted in riots, and other acts, that by the way did not result in the aquisition of food in the desired quantities.
Beware unleashing a Tigre, that once freed cannot be caged again.

Having read Espumpins last recommendation…..It would seem, that hormone production defficiency is a problem for some entities. To freak out, panic, get over emotional, stressed, or in particular fearful and the fight or flight condition, which floods the metabolism with ADRENALIN, would result in an increased level of hormone production, in that person.
I couldn't possibly comment…..but does a lack of self control not play straight into the hands of these entities ? Would a lack of self control not give them exactly what they want ?

Further, If there were such contracts, and if in retrospect the desire to get out of those contracts, I dare say that a mind or minds, that think in unusual ways, would be able to find the chink in the contract, in order to do so. Possibly even in the armour.

Paul,
You have no right to splash mud on the works of Velikovsky and likes.
THE work of Zecharia Sitchin is without question the most mind stretching cosmology available to date. Furthermore, it appears unchallanged academically.
I personally recommend everyone to read Zecharia Sitchin's Earth Chronicles. You won't be disappointed.
Among other things, Sitchin's investigations indicate that there may be an outpost in orbit around Mars preventing current humans from getting there (a fact verified by both U.S.and Russian space probe problems in that neighborhood). But the primary focus of this impressive research is ancient Sumer. The decipherment of that culture's clay tablets, buried for millennia, reveals roots that stretch all the way back to 450,000 B.C.
There are some very significant findings on the existence of this other race of people. One the rather compelling is the "face on Mars," the structure in the area called , Cydonia on the Red Planet (Mars). ~Now this is really groovy—> When the relationship of the face on Mars is analysed for its distance to other pyramidal structures also discovered on Mars, the geometric relationship is found to be "identical" to the distances of the Egyptian Sphinx and the Pyramids in the surrounding areas of Egypt. Sitchin concluded the placement of these pyramids indicates that they served as landing markers for the Nibiruans after they entered the Earth's atmosphere from outer space. Sitchin also has asserted that the early pyramids were not designed by the Egyptians (Anyone that has actually researched what was involved in the designing of the pyramids can see why this makes sense). NBC-TV aired a program on Nov.10, 1993 entitled "The Mystery of the Sphinx", indicating that the Sphinx is 2,000 years older than previously thought. Then, in Jan 2001, the Discovery channel aired a special where scientists now think the Sphinx could be as much as 10,000 yrs old! This corroborates Sitchin's findings that someone other than the Egyptians designed the Sphinx & Pyramids.
ONE astounding assertion after another has made Sitchin the most controversial writer of our time because he challenges everything we thought we knew about "human civilization" (or at least what we've been spoon fed, to think we know) . It's easy to dismiss Sitchin's research in the same way that other people dismiss UFO's, Eric Von Daniken and countless other researchers who claimed to have found evidence for extraterrestrial visitors to this planet. But Sitchin is well aware of this devil's advocacy, and vaporizes the arguments of skeptics with solid scholarship, including the most rigorous translations of Sumerian text, Vedic tales and excerpts from the original Greek and Hebrew versions of the Bible. This ability to translate many languages is no small achievement. Those of us who will never possess the ability to decipher 6,000-year-old clay tablets must understand that Sitchin has devoted his life to doing just that.(Not to mention risking his reputation). His sources reveal an utter integrity, including the finest, most respected citations and references imaginable.
THE two most notable individuals to pay attention and meet with Sitchin were Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkopf, the American Generals who were key figures in the recent Gulf War. The landing place of the Nibiruans was in an area once called Eridu, now called Southern Iraq. The main reason Saddam Hussein was not captured was because he was holding out in an ancient step pyramid constructed by one of those early civilizations mentioned by Sitchin, and which the Americans were loathe to bomb, because of their "inestimable" historical value. Once the gloss of the media is removed from consensus reality, an entirely new picture emerges as to who knows what concerning what Sitchin has uncovered. The circumstantial evidence in the Earth Chronicles concerning the Nibiruans is absolutely compelling…………( And thus far, un-contested)
November 13th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Much appreciated.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Yeah Leah, you used the perfect words…
All that paul does here is define people!
You will be a Good litigator for sure!
Wonder where his good friend Martin has gone?? I want him to come back because i have a lot more of "his chinese history" to pile upon him!
Rico, its so sad how people like Paul ridicule the works of Sitcin and all, without knowing anything about the same! If there was any expert on Sumerian History, its him without any doubt and without any Peers!!
Epumpin, Scary indeed… There was never any doubt that the Govt hides a lot more than it reveals….. You keep unearthing such sinister plans!!!
Raven, Now thats quite a revelation… But you know what, Paul will do a somersault and pounce upon you now!
November 13th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Re the site Espumpin recommended….its possible that something was lost in translation re Aztecs etc…..maybe they had to sacrifice many of their number.
Also, with so many other powerful ones, who are benevolent, how can the one race be more powerful than them collectively…..or is it that they are waiting for something…timing can be everything. As was written by someone, they are not what they seem, will anounce their presence, which will produce cacaphony, which serves their pupose, as the more we react the better, as there is something which is extremely difficult for them to do for themselves.
Further that they can no longer allow us to carry on the way we are going, lest we destroy ourselves and Earth. BUT THEY WANT CACAPHONY, which is DISCHORD.
Seems to me, if they are here, they are primitive and naive…..except for their technology.
Just an observation.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Dear Amit,
I'm honoured by your kindnesses. Appologies if I disappointed you, but you know Some Angels Don't Play Haarps…..piano for me, and as you've noticed….have a couple of teeth left.
More of a Sleeping Dragon really……benevolent though.
Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Dear Amit,
If you lay around with what I wrote re Time being relative, you can begin to see how it applies to some of the ancient texts.
Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Raven Turcotte is right. Everybody play nice, or ignore eachother. Takes 2 to tango.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Anytime Leah…..
And no, you did not disappoint me, because i know there is a limit to how far one can be pushed!
And i agree with your last post…
I promise to refrain from commenting upon "Paul" henceforth… But i will surely address posts to him to have arguments, but i can assure you that it will never come down to personal affronts..
Leah, re Ancient texts, i already see them making perfect sense with every aspect! Paul says that we are the most technically advanced generation.. I wonder what he has to got say about the accuracy of Mayan Astronomical Calculations?? And thats Pure astronomy i am talking about, cycles of Venus, Moon etc…
November 13th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
As for PLAY NICE,
Count me in!
Just could not help but wonder, and I have asked more than once.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Sure Just A Thought…..
Lets show them that we can counter their profanities through Niceties, and if even that does not work, we can choose to ignore!
But as of now, i am holding up my White Flag!
Lets see if the Golden Rule works here!
November 13th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Dear Just a Thought,
Me again, the dense one…..what had you asked more than once ?
BTW, I had a good laugh at my suggestion that Amit….you should LAY with the numbers…..had a picture in my head of someone rolling around on the floor in numbers. Bet Einstein did that once or twice in frustration.
Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Amit,
That's far out, solid and right-on my brother.
Lady Leah,
(I feel) We are not worthy.
For fear of forgetting to name someone,
To summit people,
each one of you are valuable to me!
Keep the faith, together we may be able to "break the code" or find some answers.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I had asked our buddy pj who the person he thinks I am is.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Leah, be sure that i am always intrigued by the concept of Time & Distance….
Do you know about Edgar Rice Burrough's "Pellucidar" series? I know its pure fiction (Before anyone comments adversely on this). In Pellucidar (At The Earth's core), there is a sun that hangs perpetually over the land, and there is no concept of time there… People just sleep when they are tired and eat when they are hungry…. Weird, but an interesting concept.. And the book is so fantastic! If you want , you can download the text free on Project Gutenberg (because the Copyright has expired) and read…
November 13th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Angels can be lethal, make no mistake about that!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Dear Just a Thought,
Wow I've been Knighted. The answers are there, but too much too fast is a killer…or produces cacaphony. However tick tock…tick tock. Vous are worthy.
I haven't slept in 40 hours, but in the mood for humour, as its been a hell of a day, but good in the end. So i'll try to sleep per chance to dream…..
Be well, Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Dear JAT, dont be bothered about what others think of you. You are what you are!
nd as far as i know you, you seem to be a "Good Fella"…
People are inclined to have their own opinions. All we can do is try to change it of it pertains to us. If it works, fine. If its doesn't, well, Who Cares! Row your boat…….
November 13th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Dear Amit,
Sounds like my life….eat when hungry….sleep when it comes. I'll take a look, just can't promise when.
Just a Thought,
Honestly, I'm not lethal. Last 2 days were about the life and wellbeing of an animal.
Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
It feesl so nice to be "talking" to you here!!! I generally hve to play catch up after you have all gone to sleep!
Wonderful time this!
And Good Night Lady Leah!
May you have dreams of the 5th Sun, a world without peril and hate, with eveyone having a halo about their head and playing Harp/Piano!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I KNEW IT AMIT – (fun)- what's in your pipe-don't ask don't tell.
Leah- weary and tired, go to rest and wake even more blessed.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Recommendation……Re additional input of late, respectfully suggest reading E's suggested site (if not already read), then D and company's posts, then Thoth – Emerald Ta#lets. A different perspective may be gained.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
leah, My interest in Edgar Rice Burroughs started with "Earth Mysteries" on Scared texts.. I first read many stories about "Center of The Earth".. There is one by Jules Verne which is very impressive, a very scientific sort of journey.. There is another called "Etidorhpa" .. Wonderful works. But dont keep a "critic" like attitude while reading, just take it as Entertainment along with some true facts..
OK, after that i hit upon the EDB stuff.. And i'm hooked on ever since.. His Martian series, Caspak Series, Pellucidar Series.. Absolutely wonderful wonderful stuff!!! I am a voracious reader and just gobbling up his books day after day!
November 13th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Amit,
Sounds like good reading…especially as a brain break…you know, get off planet….and if not…into the planet. I'm old as you know, so Arthur C Clarke, Greg Bear, Clive Barker, etc etc. Clarke's Childhood's End, its short, is a must read, especially in these times.
I spend a huge amount of time keeping up with tech and the way of things, +++. Thanks to the internet, research goes somewhat faster. Can't replace the books though.
Leah
November 13th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Yes, Leah nothing beats the pleasure of leafing through an "Actual" book.. But internet does a great job of preserving these old works and making them available to us!
Arthur Clarke is wonderful, and so is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.. I just adore his great character called "Professor Challenger"!
Clive Barker is also very interesting, Undying and Unbeliever, especially…
And ever heard of Robert E Howard??
Yeah, you got me started..
November 13th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Amit,
you ask where I am, Bangkok time + 7hours on the comp. It seems when I am awake most of you are awake, and the other way round. When I start my day I have to catch up by reading for more than an hour until I have time to comment.
But Amit, thank you so much, I really mean it and really appreciate it for your posts 13 nov 1.30am. These chinese stories are great and I never heard of them. Thank you so much.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
sorry when you are awake, I'm asleep and other way round
November 13th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Asking for my backkground?
Electrical engineer computer engineer, Doing research in AI with Phycisists, Mathmaticans and Electrical Engineers between 1985 and 1991. Then stopped. hopped to England, Totnes lived in the area 2 years, hopped back to southern Germany for another 2 years, then got lost in the djungle of Thailand for the last 14 years.
Since 1991 haven't touched a book, except The teachings and the canon of the Lord Buddha. and the teachings of Acharn Mun and Acharn Maha Boowa.
If you are interested in mythical stuff, celestial beings, ghosts demons nagas etc. read the biography of Acharn Mun. He has encountered these beings talked with them and asked them questions. etc.
When young I read all of Arthur Clarke and Arthur Conan Doyle. and so on.
More questions about me?
November 13th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
BTW, when I came to Thailand, a site excavation in the North east of Thailand was discovered and was at that time counted for as the oldest civilization found on the planet.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
it was dated 7000 BC
November 13th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I find it a bit strange that the Aliens after 1935 only contacted US Government?
About the Bell or die Glocke, Madame Curie found out about radiation a century before. So I don't think the development of the Glocke to be so strange. Especially when the atomic bomb was developed in Germany at the same time. Or maybe I didn't get the point what you were trying to say. Maybe I misunderstood you completely. Then I'm truly sorry.
Martin
November 13th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Raven,
thanks a lot. You have any idea in what time range these super volcanos might erupt?
And About the dark ages.
The last I knew was about 400AD that the OstGoths invaded Rome, the next chapter was Emperor Karl The Great in around 800 AD. Inbetween was at my time left blank. And now I wonder why I never asked this question what happened inbetween,
November 14th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Oh BTW
In Thailand there are beings called Nagas. Huge snakes. They normally do belong to the Demon Realm of Existence. The US Maine caught one of them as a snake. I have to dig out the photo if someone is interested. These Nagas have large cities underground. They can change their form of appearance, be it snakes or demons or even to human shape. They can fly, or go by foot or crawl as a snake. They also can create. There is a site in North East of Thailand, it is called Oasis and its plantation or trees were created in one night. And the vegetation is unknown to grow in this region elswhere. It happened In this century about 40 or fifty years ago. The oasis is 1 km in diameter. There is a deep well unmeasurable in depth where this naga lives.
At the time of the Lord Buddha one of the nagas appearing in human form wanted to ordain as a monk, but the Lord Buddha refrained and told only human beings are allowed to ordain.
just for your consideration
Martin
November 14th, 2008 at 12:15 am
Amit
you say you have more of these chinese stories. You don't have to type them just give me a few links Thanks a lot.
Martin
November 14th, 2008 at 12:38 am
Hey Martin,
Good to know more about you.. Can you refer me some good links about the teachings of Acharn Mun and Acharn Maha Boowa.
I am very much interested in Buddhism because their teachings are very humanitarian and relate to doing some basic things in a simple manner to attain peace of mind..
As for more Chinese stories, i will keep them coming. As of now, i would suggest you to research about Dropa Stones…. If possible, share your findings here…
And Oh, about that photograph of Naga, please do that by all means! And BTW, "Naga" is a hindi word which means Snake…
And as for Alien thery, even i find it strange that they have contacted only US Govt , in secret. But their contacts being controlled is a possibility that we cannot discard entirely either… And what do we know, maybe the Alien hand is the reason for US domination of the world in the last century ?? Just a speculation….
November 14th, 2008 at 3:19 am
you will find all the books under this link
http://www.luangta.com/English/site/books.php
I'm going to look for the picture
what is dropa stones are they relics?
bye for now
Martin
November 14th, 2008 at 3:35 am
Martin,
I will tell you what i know about Dropa Stones.
Then you can research further if you want.
The year was 1938. Location – Baian-Kara-Ula mountains on the border that divides China and Tibet. An archaeological expedition, led by Chi Pu Tei, has trudged into the barely accessible mountain range, and has happened upon some caves that had obviously been occupied by a primitive people long ago.
On the walls were carved pictograms of the heavens: the sun, the moon, the stars, and the Earth with lines of dots connecting them. Then the team made the most incredible discovery of all. Half-buried in the dirt floor of the cave was an odd stone disk, obviously fashioned by the hand of an intelligent creature. The disk was approximately nine inches in diameter and three-quarters of an inch thick. In the exact center was a perfectly round, 3/4" hole, and etched in its face was a fine groove spiraling out from the center to the rim, making the disk look for all the world like some kind of primitive phonograph record.This one plate, dated to be between 10,000 and 12,000 years old , but the wonder was multiplied manifold. In all, 716 such plates were found. And each held an incredible secret. The groove, upon further inspection, was not a groove at all, but a continuous line of strange carved hieroglyphics – writing!
Dr. Tsum Um Nui , in 1962, painstakingly transcribed the characters from the disk to paper. The writing was so small he had to use a magnifying glass to see it clearly. But the stones were old – perhaps 12,000 years old, it was estimated – and much of the hieroglyphics were difficult to make out or had been worn away by time and the elements.
As he worked, many questions nagged the professor. How did these primitive people fashion these precise stones? How did they manage the almost microscopic writing? Who were they and what was the purpose of these hundreds of stones? Once the characters were transcribed, Dr. Tsum Um Nui began the arduous task of trying to decode its message. Eventually, he began to make progress. A word emerged. Then another. A phrase became understandable, then an entire sentence. He had broken the code.
He discerned that the messages on the stones were written by a people who called themselves the Dropa. But what they were saying to him 12,000 years later made no sense. What the Dropa had written must have been one of their cultural myths, or was part of some prehistoric religious ceremony. Or was it? When he had completed the translation the professor wrote up a paper on his findings and presented it to the university for publication. Their reaction was swift and emphatic: the paper would not be published. The Academy of Prehistory expressly forbade him to publish or even speak of his findings. The world, the academy decided, should not know about the Dropa and their fateful journey to Earth.The Dropa disks tell the story of a space probe from a distant planet that crash-landed in the Baian-Kara-Ula mountains of the Himalayas. The occupants of the spacecraft – the Dropa – found refuge in the caves of the mountains.The stones go on to say how the Dropa were unable to repair their disabled spacecraft and could not return to their home planet, and so were stranded on Earth. If that's true, have their descendents survived?
November 14th, 2008 at 3:38 am
Sorry to contradict you Raven but the 'powers that be' are definitely not keeping the knowledge of super volcanoes to themselves. The Potzuoli/Bay Of Naples sea-bed rise has been the subject of two Horizon programmes on BBC 2 here in Britain – the first in the mid 1980's the second just a few years ago. The Yellowstone super volcano has also been highlighted and discussed on an Horizon programme and well as in an edition of a series of BBC2 programmes about gloabal cataclysmic events which included asteroid impacts and giant tsunamis.
The Dark Ages appears to have been initiated by some 'big' event probably a volcanic eruption. The early 19th century, [1815?] saw The Year WIthout A Summer whic was due an eruption caused by crustal splitting in Iceland. The effects were felt as far afield as China where hte rice harvest failed. There is a first hand account of it's impact in Iceland by a Lutherean pastor. very vivid and very detailed. However, he felt it was a judgement from god – not that his belief diminishes his account which has in part led to some understanding of these type of of eruptions.
November 14th, 2008 at 3:46 am
about dropa stones
http://www.crystalinks.com/dropa.html
the disks seem to have disappeared and the skeletons are where?
… going to look up more
November 14th, 2008 at 3:57 am
I just copy a comment by william about dropa stones.
I would venture to say this is an elaborate hoax. Not so much on the story itself, but by the amazing lack of any other piece of information to be found. When you search the web for "Dropa Stones" you'll find lots of returns (200+), but almost all of them are this article, copied-and-pasted, complete with the same pictures. If this were a real story, there would be some other pieces of material in alternate forms.
.. wherever I look I only find the same kind of information no other clues no other pictures and no pictures of the skeletons. Martin
November 14th, 2008 at 4:23 am
So the last research on Dropa is a very informative article under link
http://www.ufodata.co.uk/pdf/UFO_Files_China's_Roswell.pdf
When you look up the sources it all links back to the primary article. All what you can find on this topic is covered in the above link.
Unless the discs and the skeletons are not found there is no evidence and not the slightest proof that Aliens visited Earth about 12,000 BC
And if they had the technolgy to travel space they would surly have the technology to protect themselves from arrows and axes.
have a nice day
Martin
November 14th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Hello Paul,
cannot poste 3x erased, have two questions
November 14th, 2008 at 4:44 am
Paul
any more information you have concerning the supervolcanos?
Know anything about Ries-crater and its effect. It says it had th power of 1.8 million Hiroshima bombs and was a meteor of diameter of 1.5 km ?
November 14th, 2008 at 5:37 am
A man seemingly, and hopefully, recovers from A.I.D.S. after bone marrow transplant following treatment for leukaemia. Brilliant news.

November 14th, 2008 at 5:52 am
MArtin. Can't say I've heard of the Ries crater. I'll try to look it up.

Last night as I was viewing the full moon I'm sure I heard some dogs howling. Anubis and friends?, I thought. More likely Amit/Rico/JAT.
Yes, another cheap shot but the weekend beckons when everything is allowed.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:25 am
Robert E. Howard. Brilliant author, one of my favourites. I happen to think Conan is one of the best and most complete heroes in science fantasy. Howard is a master story teller and I feel he's in a long line of traditional story tellers who can trace their lineage back to the camp fires thousands of years ago. Reading his stuff almost takes you there and involves you as a bystander to events.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:35 am
Regarding the Mayan calendar. Once again I have absolutely NO problem with their accuracy in time keeping, their accuracy in detailing planetary and stellar motions across the sky. Ditto, Sumerians, upon whose calcualtions Greek and hence modern astronomy is based[ got that??] and the ancient Britons. All fine observer of the day and night skies. No problem. Period.
You may be interested however to learn that the most recent excavations at Stonehenge appear to indicate that while it may have been in part at some time during it's life an aastronomical construction it's main function was as a meeting place in the south west of Britain for the exchange of ideas, goods, healing [but not of the magical kind] and even perhaps as a place where tribal disputes in the area were resolved.
November 14th, 2008 at 6:56 am
I've not ridiculed Sitchin yet because I've not had time to seek him out. However if he is in the same camp as Velikovsky, who I have read, then he can expect the same.
I read von Daniken as a teenager and enjoyed the first and to some believed what he was saying as I found archaeology too conservative. It also tied in with my belief in aliens out there and I was desperate to believe they had visited. However further readings convinced me otherwise. I also read 'The Mysterious Unknown' by Robert Charroux which did contain a number of interesting items; The Zarkon Principle which was a good read though barmy; and Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon by Soviet academicians Vasin and Shcherbakov. So I'm not unfamiliar with the stuff that has found it's way from the wilder shores of sanity to a site discussing astronomy.
November 14th, 2008 at 7:00 am
One good thing to come from the von Daniken books was an album called 'In Search Of Ancient Gods' by a band called Absolute Elsewhere released in 1976. Quite a good l.p. which if I could get it on c.d. I would as it's too much hassle to transfer it from vinyl.
November 14th, 2008 at 7:47 am
BTW Paul, I had a copy of the 1932 pulp weird tales with "The Phoenix on the sword". The first Conan story by Robert E. Howard in almost mint condition.
Perhaps you believe in Crom.
-R-
November 14th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Paul you should read the Biblical book of Ezekiel.
Le us know how your 21st century mind interprets whats you find.
-R-
November 14th, 2008 at 8:06 am
If you'r going to look into Sitchin, just read the first book of the earth chronicles.
Again…Its called…."The 12th Planet".
The whole series is 6 books with a couple of side books like "The Lost Book Of Enki". But the 12th planet will do in your case.
Being as how you don't follow archeology this book will enlighten you somewhat.

November 14th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Having looked again at the Baalbek temple and read Alan F. Alford's account it is at first, even second glance, a truly monumental[no pun intended] effort. I withdraw my pulleys and lever contention. But for Alford to suggest that it was superior technology that built it is pushing things a bit too far. With the Romans tramping all over the Near East and subsequently building on top of the temple it is hard to see how they would have missed any remaining technology. Stories and legends etc would surely have pointed them in the direction of what techniques were used. Well not legends as such but rather accounts. Even so it IS a mystery and one worth investigating. But reaching for superior or alien technology before all other earthly and human ingenuity is explored and exhausted is scientifically wrong. It is such a reaction that leads to derision.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:12 am
One of the subjects I studied at uni. was archaeology.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
I know about Ezekiel and his apparent voyage in a space ship which enabled him to look down on the earth. I became quite excited about that when reading The Mysterious Unknown.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Phoenix On The Sword is a fabulous story and much better than the original version, By This Axe I Rule a King Kull story.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am
everyone but paul—
BANG HEAD HERE!!!!!!!
November 14th, 2008 at 8:36 am
The Ries crater is a tremendous thing. I certainly wouldn't liked to have been anywhere southern Germany at the time. The diamonds produced by the impact would be nice though.
It's going to happen again sometime though of course we don't know when. NASA have made a start with the Near Earth Objects [NEO] project which tracks earth orbit-crossing meteroids, asteroids etc and should eventually warn us of anything that threatens in a big way. Until we develop a way of steering a big one away we'll just have to hope nothing looms up out of the shadows.
November 14th, 2008 at 8:53 am
LEAH–THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

Rico. If you read Alan Alford's account of the stones at Baalbek you'll see he consulted a British construction firm about the possibility of modern lifting equipment moving 1000-1500 tons stones. They said that they have two cranes capable of lifting that sort of mass though moving would be difficult though not impossible.
However as I said earlier quite how the 'Baalbekians' did it is problematical, at present.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:14 am
in ian's original text, he wrote:
"There is no reason to think the strong magnetic field of the Earth can be influenced by any external force, let alone a non-existent planet (or was that a brown dwarf?)".
and in his summary, he wrote:
"There is no evidence to suggest external forcing of internal geomagnetic dynamics of the Earth. Therefore there is no evidence of the solar cycle-geomagnetic shift connection. Don't get me started on Planet X."
it is my thought that he left the door wide open for debate regarding what those external forces might be…it seems to me that the conflict occurs when we start discussing cosmic events or events we cannot conrol, versus "man-made" events which are contributing factors to the overall disintegration of planet earth…scientifically, the two may not be related…but it is those "unknown external forces" that link the two together…and opens the door to unlimited possibilities…all science and all technology started somewhere…we do not know with absolute certainty where we came from, much less where we are going…

Well it's time to go home and leave you all behind and for some of you to wallow in the misery of your delusions. I'll be enjoying myself with a good book on astronomy full of facts.
I've just sent an e-mail to the head of my city libraries congratulating her and the committee for re-classifying Velikovsky, von Daniken et al as fiction. I've also asked her to contact other libraries across the country to consider doing the same. If they're as rational we can look forward to a rolling back of the forces of blind ingnorance and stupidity. One more advance for the cause of science. Hurrah.
November 14th, 2008 at 9:25 am
paul–they did not have "modern day cranes" when all those stone were originally lifted…what are you thinking????
November 14th, 2008 at 9:45 am
dearest paul–i TRULY hope that library thing works out for you…hurrah for you!!!! speaking solely for myself, i'm not quite sure i understand exactly what that will accomplished…but i am sure it makes perfect sense to you…God bless ya!!!
November 14th, 2008 at 9:45 am
Don't bother Becky.
Like he got that library to remove those books from where they were.
I got him to retract his levers and ramps theeory furthermore proving that he made it up and that it had no valid scientific value.
Its a start. It proves hes not infallible.
At least he looked into it.
Also he didn't say that the Brit construction company said that they could move the stones. They said it may be possible.
Absolved,

Dear Paul,
RE the 1500 DUMBs today, compared to some of the underground dwellings of the past, such as the town in Turkey, it looks very much like something happens on a regular basis, that necessitates going underground for safety.
Naturally it does not happen according to a clock or calendar, it happens by formula and when the conditions synchronise.
The pictures of Spacemen etc, as in Von Daniken……could just as easily be of men in HAZMATS. The picture of a 1 eyed being, could be of a later generation that had mutated due to radiation.
It is feasible to wonder if the effects of a past event / events, might have been so devastating, that it was not possible to live on the surface for a very long time, after which those humans evolved to their conditions and way of life underground, and did not return to live on the surface.
Those few that survived on the surface, naturally will have developed differently, according to surface conditions. The survival of the fittest and finest in all species, is what we are today, mutations and all.
There maybe a caste living below ground, which by appearances seem alien, but which are humans. Its no good to say impossible, as we weren't there. Next year an expedition to find such places will commence. We shall see.
Re ancients having possibly more technology than we do today…….there is no reason to feel threatened by that……as we are by default and the passing of time, the more highly evolved generation. It is this fact that makes us much more likely to survive repeat events….well. We are able to decipher the metaphors, myths and legends, left to us by the past, and in so doing, come up with the technology and science needed to help ourselves.
We no longer call a space rocket, a ship of the Gods, or such like. We know its true nature, and call iy by its true name…..etc. Further, our capacity and skill to think and question, as individuals has increased to the extent that we are no longer so easily influenced by those that might wish to impress upon us their ideas / version of truth
as the only definative truth in fact.
Our resistance capacity to such tactics are at an all time high, as it were.
Be well, Leah
November 14th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Just a quick FYI. I don't know how book stores are in the UK but here in America we have stores like Barnes & Nobles and Borders. They have sections called "Speculation" which is where books of this nature are located.
It a shame that when the spanish explorers arrived at south america, they brought along with them persons of the church. These religious maniacs burned thousands of ancient writings, mounds and mounds of knowledge.
But whats truly amazing is that even now in the 21st century we have people that have admittedly a book burning mentality.
Even on this thread there is such mantality.
Right Paul?

November 14th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Hitler burnt books…..putting them on a different shelf …? An example of what I just wrote, "The wish, of one or more, to impress their version of a definitive truth in fact."
Sadly, the past has shown, that such acts / behaviour, have agendas, hidden or otherwise, as the driving force behind them.
OR, driven by fear that a discovery of truth, will alter reality for ever….prefering to bury head in sand (ostriches don't do that) and continue living a lie in the dark…..because it is at least, familiar.

Dear Campfire,
"The weekend beckons, when everything is allowed", reminds me that, should something occur, sensational or clandestine, that evokes the words or thoughts "It is not real"……one could as Becky wrote…..go indoors, put some loud music on, OR at the very least dub it NOT REAL, not react, not be ruled by emotions, until such time when the occurance has been considered from all perspectives, and its possible INTENTION.
Eyes are there to fool, being only lenses. Only seeing with the mind, can one accurately glean a true picture, and its contents.
Having said that, D's post may have negated anything occuring at all.
Be well, Leah

November 14th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Paul the quarry where the stones at Baalbek are thought to have come from was 6 miles away. The terrain there isn't exactly the autobahn. Its rather crude and unfriendly.
These stones had to have been moved 6 mile over nasty hostile terrain and then raised and placed in a concise manner.
There are 3 stones that weigh around 2000 tons. This phenomenom isn't exclusive to Baalbek. If I remember correctly theres another one that weighs just as much in Israel.
Remember when science was offering the theory that the pyramids were the tombs of Pharoes?
Did you know that at the big Pyramid in Giza. There were no writings inside the pyramid.
If these buildings weren't tombs like we now know. What were they built for?
Paul, you mention that due to the fact that science cannot offer an explanation at this time that this does not mean that we are free to assume that it was aliens.
This is not my assumption. It is what the actual peoples of the time left behind as an explanation.
I don't think Owein is saying that the internet is buzzing with talk about a geomagnetic reversal.
Its a crap subject. The internet is buzzing about the 2012 thingy.
Like I said in previous post. The closer we get to the date the worse it will be and don't let something happn before then because it'll really get hairy out here.
I read that in Amsterdam the populace is taking 2012 very seriously and that they are investing in underground bunkers and such.
There was a program on TV here also about the Yellowstone volcano. It mentioned the volatility but it didn't say with any conviction that it could be any day now.
How do you evacuate 30 US states? Of course "they" would tell anyone!!

Dear Espumpin,
I can confirm to you that Reconstituted stone is not complicated when understood, as it is with all things. 100 years ago or even earlier an alloy known as Pinchback, was passed off sucessfully as Gold. We make Diamonds, and grow Zircons, Spinels and so many more synthetic forms of natural minerals, too many to mention.
Likewise in Massive form. Lapis Lazuli for example. Concrete is the most primitive and simple form.
Leah

I do not remember as much time has passed, The Dark Tower books, makes reference to the world having "moved on".
Any thought on that? John Titor seemed to discribe a world that had moved on. Interesting to think about if nothing else, but in reality today is not the same as yesterday or tommorrow so in a way it gets back to perspective, where you are at when appraising things.
November 14th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Dear Just a Thought,
Where you are when appraising…….For me Where is also when, observing / appraising form a given vantage point.
One could appraise the same thing from many vantage points….the when being different by default (time it takes to change location) or by design…..choosing a future point in time to appraise….either from the same vantage point or another.

Dear Just a Thought,
Could "A Wrinkle in time" be say, A Doorway in Time ? A corridor, or Gap in time ?
I ask this due to the word Wrinkle conjuring up the word Fold, as in Over lap in time……or is it an overlap, from time to time, depending on conditions ?

Dear Just a Thought,
Yes. Like Betelgeuse, @ say 50 light years away (only an example distance), if it went super nova 50 light years ago minus a day, we would only see it tomorrow…and yet it had actually happened 50 years ago.
Its a tough concept for many, except some like astronomers.

Messier, by formula could only catalogue a number of objects, light from which was still observable….prooving their existance then and in the near past, (dependant on distance from Earth) at his time of observations. Messier's catalogue would not list objects that had say winked out, and all light emitted had reached Earth prior to beginning his observations.

Having listened to something this evening……it would seem that, so long as the one saying the moon is made of cheese, has a slew of letters after their name, that is PHD's etc, it must be true….they are qualified, they are experts, they are the ones that know conclusively……and are for the most part believed.
If Jung were reading this, he would say…..Leah has some kind of complex about those with PHD's etc etc….I would be diagnosed.
I used "moon made of cheese" as an extreme example, because only extremes are noticed these days. I have no complex, am not envious of PHD's in any way, because I have had the freedom to study all things, at a pace of my own choosing.
My point is, that so long as anyone has only partial understanding, of any thing at all, they cannot claim to be a definative expert, and especially not, if the majority of their info is inherited via teaching.
There are none that can know it all, about anything at all.
November 14th, 2008 at 10:07 pm

Wasn't there a Novel about the insane people taking over the world and the sane had to be kept in asylums. It's just a matter from what standpoint you look. Or?
Hitler not only killed the Jews, but also the disabled and the insane Germans, or maybe it was the sane he killed and the insane remained???
Sometimes I have the feeling to become humorous, or is it sarcastical. I can't differentiate. Maybe I listened to much to Tom Lehrer (1960's Professor at MIT who wrote sarcastic songs)

I meant the net is buzzing with this argument. well parts of it are.
I think one or two of you have done Paul a huge disservice by comparing him to Hitler. He has never said you should burn Velikovsky or Von Daniken just move them from one section to another. It is somethng that happens in libraries all the time. Fromhis other posts I expect you'll get roasted and so you should be. Very poor of you. If you're going to comment on peoples posts then have the courtesy to read and analyse fully what is written. If you still think he's advocating burniing books then maybe you are as deluded as him thinks. You owe him an apology for that at least.
November 15th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Correction. I meant burn Velikosky's and Von Danikens BOOKS not the writers.
November 15th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Dear Owain,
I had compared the concept of Burning books, to Re-classifying books and moving them to a different section / shelf. Within that comparison is the question, if burning books had not stopped people reading books of their choosing, then moving them around in a library, would either.
14th 10.09am…..re read if you wish, at no point did I mention, let alone compare Paul to anyone.

"Very poor of you. If you're going to comment on peoples posts then have the courtesy to read and analyse fully what is written."
November 15th, 2008 at 7:44 am
thank you Owain, it just hits the spot.
If Ricoh so much adheres to the bible, why not adhere to the sermon on the mount?
I just follow the logic now… If we do not try to incorporate the sermon on the mount into our daily activities, including posting on this blog, are we then not those who go through the broad gate that leads to destruction?
I do not dismiss the Bible, but do not adhere to it. Ezekiel is interesting, Hiob is intersting and so is the sermon on the mount. But what is lacking for my taste is the explanations why should we. Just the logic behind is missing. And I do submit to Logic or Reasoning.
Be well Martin
November 15th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Dear Ian O'Neill,
thank you so much. I read all the relating articles. and scanned through some of the blogs. And I saw that sometimes you comment. Your comments are cool, so are your articles. Your explanations are excellent reasoning and for me completely logical. I have no doubt about what you say. As I said in my last comment I submit to Logic and Reasoning.
About six years ago my teacher, a British Electrical Engineer told my about the Mayan phrophecy. about 2012. And he told me that this will certainly come true. I looked at him very astonished, but I had no way to argue with him. He passed away 4 years ago, otherwise I surly would have printed your articles for him to read.
But now I do have a question, in one of your comments you said, it was on the planet X is not niburu, that we cannot foretell or predict the future.
Now the question, isn't our science mostly about trying to predict future events, based on previous events? Like supervolcanos, or asteroids hitting the earth. It stated somewhere, either in the wikipedia about meteors, or a link from them that it is likely 1:47 that within the next 100 years a meteor diameter of 500 m will hit the earth-quite some impact.
About the supervolcano Yellowstone Park, BBC said, I got the link from Paul, that the cycle of eruption is 600,000 years so now its overdue 40,000 years and can erupt anytime. If it erupts we will have a nuclear winter for about 3 years, that will lead to near extinction of all live forms. Then I looked it up under yellowstone supervolcano and there it states that the cycle is 650,000 years. That means we would still have 10,000 years to go. But we do have only two points in eruption history. You know we can draw a straight line that will mean 650,000 years or any other bicubic function, that would leave it completely open to when
That were just two examples of predicting the future. Weather, hurricanes, volcanic eruption, earthquakes, they are studied very hard to be able to predict. future events.
What do you think? How should I interpret your statment, or did I misunderstood it.
Maybe your next article is about Yellowstone or any of the other supervolcanos is not going to erupt in 2012?
November 15th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Sorry mistake bicubic will give us only one date, but there are many ways to fit a function
y = a + bx + cx2 + dx3 + …
or log or ln or e functions
All of them will give us a different time of eruption. I haven't done it for nearly 20 years, but I'm sure I could find a function that predicts the eruption to be in 2012.
November 15th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Just A Thought.
HAving read Paul's posts I think he's the one who is owed the apologies. Where possible he's analysed and tried to sort out the science you and others have presented among all the flummery of pseudo-science and outrageous claims for aliens building ancient monuments. He has possibly overstated the possibilities of current science but did withdraw his claim for levers etc building Baalbek.
If I may say so you undermine your own cases by presenting legitimate science and ideas with the likes of Velikosky's garbage. You continually poke at Paul and fail to see that he hasn't any problem with you and your regarding aliens "out there". His main contention, as far as I can see, is that you have never presented hard facts to back your claims. Point of information. Posting links to You Tube and self referential sites that claim to show the evidence is not proof not matter how hard and loud you shout.
Sorry to speak for you Paul but you sometimes seem slow to respond or unwilling to.

Becky. WHat on earth are you talking about? Sermons on the mount?We're talking science here NOT religion. For goodness sake get a grip. By all means talk religion if you must but there are plenty of sites where that can be discussed. I can't see why you're mixing that in with my defence of Paul.

November 15th, 2008 at 9:46 am
wain–just an afterthought–science is made up of "realms of possibility"…unknown variables…since history does repeat itself, and since none of us were here the previous time around, why should we not NOW consider ALL realms and ALL variables???
technology should not dwarf our imaginations…when things fall our of our realm of understanding, there remains a huge unexplained file called "what if"…for whatever reason, that file remains unopened and unexplored…those who want to explore it and want to know what's in it become reclassified…where's the science in that????
November 15th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Martin,
Don't fall into the trap of trying to manipulate the numbers in an attempt to find a time of eruption for 2012. There are no end of ways of doing it and the self-styled lunatic fringe . Becky above, will seize it and run claiming, "There you are it was evident all the time".
November 15th, 2008 at 9:54 am
Sorry Becky. You're still not making any sense at all. Can't see where you're going with this.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:00 am
owain–my most sincere apologies–ir was martin who made reference to the sermon on the mounts–not you!!! please forgive me…a bad mistake on my part…at this time, i will redirect to martin…
November 15th, 2008 at 10:13 am
owain–all i'm saying is that science –for me–is not cut and dry—for me–all things should be considered. there are things that we know, things that we think we know, and things we cannot explain…for me, science cannot and does not explain away everything….there are greater forces working that are much bigger than ourselves…it is those forces that science will never explain…that's all i'm saying…it is because of that fundamental belief that others feel i have no place on this thread…and that's okay..i still maintain that everything is relative.

Leah,
I think you just did.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:21 am
@ Owein You continually poke at Paul and fail to see that he hasn't any problem with you and your regarding aliens "out there". His main contention, as
Owain, do you kow how to read? I mean, how can you say that Pual hasn't said anything against our SUPPORTING, NOT PRESENTING ancient astronaut theories?
Paul has constantly derised our theory, furthermore he resorted to labeling us "knuckledraggers" and the like.
We didn't make up the alien theory. We support it. Paul like, obviously yourself, don't support this theory and thats fine. I can openly critisize science and you and Paul can critisize our theories but don't sit there and tell us that Paul hasn't been insulting, condescending and a total asshole about this because all you're doing is categorizing yourself as an asshole.
Owein have you had any scientifc theory published? Have you been credited with anything scientific? Has Paul?
Yet you come in here and arrogantly offer derisive critizism about others published works. There are many authors that support the ancient astronaut theory. Are you prepared to prove here and now that you are better informed than all of these authors?
Like Ian says…"I thought not"
This site has an admin. If the admin feels that our post don't belong here he/she has the authority and can make a decision to remove the post. I have not seen anything removed have you?
Neither Paul nor yourself are the ultimate authority here and you NEED to learn what I'm sure your mothers taught you at a very early age.
Respect.
I'm sure that your mothers told you that this is something thats earned.
Paul hasn't even earned the respect I've shown so far. If you read the post you are aware that I have asked him on more than one occasion to desist the name calling and he justified it by proclaiming that his frustration at his inability to respect what others have put forth has not allowed him to govern himself accordingly.
Don't get me wrong Owein, you can write what you want here. But if you begin to generalize people due to their beliefs I personally will classify your ass with Hitler and any other overbearing tyrant in history.
You call me a knuckledragger and I will tell you to kiss my ass bro, its that simple.
You better go back and get it right.
I don't carae what you believe in but if you think its right to call me names or say that someone else is, then may man, you are wrong and I will address you thus.
All over the world in every culture there are so called myths and scriptures and text that describe beings that came from above and interfered with man.
You and Paul can choose to look further into what scholars have to say about this but you can't dismiss anything.
The nerve. The arrogance.
Science changes. There was a time when it was scientifically proven and widely accepted that black men were inferior to white.
The science you support is founded on trial and error like that. I imagine that should you and Paul been around back then you would have been spewing the same garbage that today we know is not true. Oh and Owein? How long ago was it that science PROVED that black men were inferior? Not nthat long ago huh?
Don't be stupid. Things change as we uncover (discover) what is hidden.
Neither you nor Paul can claim to know all the myteries of this world. If you want to talk science then not you nor Paul can claim to understand 1/1000 of a percent the mysteries of this world.
Nuff said,

Oh dear Rico. What a pity you had to resort to name calling so soon. If this is how you greet newcomers to what is supposed to be a site where rational discussion takes place there is no hope for you. Also I think it is quite shocking that you try to take over a site that isn't really geared to you and your irrational theories and THEN insult me and Paul and by inference the de-bunkers of alien intervention/Velikovsky/Von DaikenCharroux [thanks for that one Paul] etc.
We WILL be back.

November 15th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
There are so many things that science got wrong initially in the past that it is truly ignorant to accept everything at face value.
Science also encompasses so many fields. Medicine, health, space, archeology, everything basically merits scientific analysis and classification.
Sometimes years or decades go by and we acquire new data that proves that what was once thought to be scientically correct is in fact totally erroneous.
I like science. I trust science. But the subject of which we speak namely ancient astronauts has not been given enough research.
In the past when controversial theories arose there was always one idiot or another that derided the new theory.
It is scientifically possible for Paul and Owein to be similar to the idiots of the past.
Simply put. It is not impossible that ancient astronauts visited earth. With or without proof one cannot without reasonable doubt say that it is impossible.
Owein, after living a life in whish you deride others beliefs because they don't agree with your own. In the event that the other persons version proves to be correct what do you say?
You offer a detraction? How can you detract the personal insults that you used while deriding that persons beliefs?
Do you then call yourself a knuckledragger? Do you then consider yourself an diot?
Do you begin to understand where I'm trying to lead you?
Tolerance is important here. You shouldn't even address a persons belief if you can't do it without resorting to personal insults.
Paul comes in here and asks for proof or something that lends credence to what we're saying however he himself or his much ballyhoed science can admittedly offer no explanation for things here on earth such as the stones at Baalbek.
None of you guys are better than anyone else here so try to comport yourselves in a correct manner or maybe you should consider leaving this site. Look at the last 20 post and see how many of them are about the earths geomagnetic reversal or look at the first 20 post and count the same.
Owein there is no section in any library called "the garbage bin" is there?
Its agood thing that we save books just to show how old science looked at things in the past and to see how far we've come.
Read an old science book and see how erroneous the theories were.
Then REMEMBER that the science of today is BASED on the foundation of the old science, in other words it learns from its mistakes and there were sooooo many!!!
What was consideed science yesterday is considered stupidity today.
How stupid do you want to appear tomorrow?
Based on what I've read from the Bible and from translations by scholars of the stories in the sumerian tablets I choose to believe what I believe about ancient astronauts, Based on what I know about how world leaders and government works with reagards to sanctioning certain knowledge "for the protection of the masses" I choose to accept that there are too many unasnwered questions and too many varying stories describing ancient astronauts.
Like I said before. Either Owein or Paul can tell us all how the sumerians came to have what science today describes an impossible "explosion of civilization" in the near east at the time in which it did.
Then, being that you knuckleheads can't expalin it, I'd like you also to take into consideration that according to you, not only did they have all these first, but had the time to create a whole realigion with a huge pantheon and stories about their created gods.
You have got to be kidding me!
The Piri Riis map alone should suffice as proof. This map has the shape of being drawn as if the view was from above, you can see this in the way the land shape takes a turn as if it were on a globe. Not only that but there is no ice on antartica. During living history there has always been ice there.
When your science offers explanations for all of this unexplanable history you will have the proof that you are asking us for.
You cannot scientifically discard the sumerian stories. Even if they were myths they offer insights of the peoples existance of the times.
I could go looking in the web for a slew of past scientific errors. Should I do that? Do you want me to list 100 different idiotic thinkings that science backed in the past? You preach science with almost religious fervency as if science as the ultimate word on any matter. You put yourslef in the same shoes as the idiots that believed the initial erroneous stuff right?
You guys are unreal, you learn science but you can't even think for yourselves.
Pathetic is a better way to describe people that think like you guys. Beacuse its easy to feel sorry for anyone that buys something hook line and sinker without first looking at all the facts.
Tell me Owein, why are there human kings on earth? Who started kingship? Why are these families royal? Whats royal? How did this start?
Go ask science and get back to me when you can.
Silly boys with their microscopes.

Hi people. Raul here. Been looking for some answers or for one answer. Some time ago 20years or so a friend who knew I liked ancient civilisations and unexplained stuff sent me a lines that she thought would interest me. Not sure where they were from but knowing my interest she said they were ancient – Hittite? Sumerian? Hebrew? Other? Ideas anybody?
With white arms wrapped around me
Locked in a cold embrace
We slept for more than a 1000 years
We awoke in the land of gold
Where the king of the world was a being
Who was man, woman and beast.
The land boiled with strange flowers
and the sun set in the east
You and I were as the heroes of old
Showing virtue and skill
And we rode to a land at the edge of the world
To a dark tower that rose upon a hill.
Year on year the greedy tide
Swelled from the west unchallenged
And with impatient fret
Gorged on the human banquet
And many with mad eyes
Stared gibbering at the white hot sky
Foul birds and creatures circled above us
Shadowing the living and the dead
Southward to where the blood-red sun
Sickens at noon in foul vapours
We stumbled with the fear-tamed herds
Of savage beasts while homeless birds fly overhead
Southward, southward, southward.
November 15th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Owein, you seem to be choosing what you read above. Start with your boy Pauls first post. Or better yet go back to my first post and see who started the name calling.
You labeled yourself when you decided to say here that Paul wasn't deriding our theories and that he was ok with his insults.
He ADMITTED that he can't stop the insults!!
I don't care if you came back or not dude. That was a bad impression of Arnold Schwarzennegar, nobody lauged.
You're a follower. Go on then, follow Paul.
I look into the works of pioneers that have the balls to write what they believe knowing and disregarding what people like you and Paul think or say.
Someday there will be a reconcilliation and we will then see who is right. Its all BS right now because you can't prove nothing and I can't prove nothing. But I have faith, how do you like that word? I have faith that we will know what happened back then and it will be shown that we had visitors.
You can jump up and down all you like and accuse me of calling you names I don't give a rats ass what you think to be frank. You're just a shadow of a Paul.
Come on dude, bring it, I'm here all day and I have plenty of pot and phillies and there aint no good college football games on TV so I'll answer all of your rhetoric.
Yeah baby!!!

Owain, you didn't include the most read of all the authors on ancient astronauts in that list.
Sitchin.
Oh wait!! You're not familiar with his work are you? No you're not. You haven't read shit about ancient astronauts. You're simply kissing Pauls ass because he has a british accent.
Dude, I tried to deal with you guys on the level. You know. Put forth my thoughts and such. But you guys are what I call web bullies. You elevate yourselves and get all puffed up by insulting others and derding their opinions.
You noticed how Paul took back his "levers and ramps 'Ol boy" theory?
The reason he put that forth in the first place was because he was uninformed. He said he took a look again and he recanted his original theory.
The spontaneous way in which you animals for want of a better word answer the questions I put forth leads me to believe that you don't reaserch. You offer your opinions.
Your opinion stinks Owein. They stink of Paul.
Get your own. When I post something at least use google so that you can offer a better rebuttal. You don't want to appear so full of yourself that you come up with levers and ramps do you?
Read Sitchin. Read all of his books. You're in need of alternate imput.
Keepin it real,

November 15th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

I can speak for myself. I don't need Paul to speak for me and I doubt if he needs my backing. When I said we'll be back I meant the forces of reason and mature, scientific debate will be back. Ancient gods and aliens , ancient or modern, can't be discussed as they haven't yet been proved. There WILL be others of my persuation contributing once they've done with the serious stuff on their own blogs/offices/labs etc and want a good laugh and a poke at you. I remind you once again; this is a site for the discussion of science not the blatherings of frightened little boys who take solace in myths, legends and escapist nonsense. You can take it as read that I too have a British accent. And to use a good old fashioned British word you wanker!. As you've read your bilble you'll know the reference from Onan.
November 15th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
@ Owain Also I think it is quite shocking that you try to take over a site that isn't really geared to you and your irrational theories and THEN insult me and Paul and by inference the de-bunkers of alien intervention/Velikovsky/Von DaikenCharroux [thanks for that one Paul] etc.
We WILL be back.
Owain see where you write that I insult you and Paul by the INFERENCE THE DE-BUNKERS.
That shit don't make no sense. Your english sucks or you'e semi literate take your choice.
This is not a misspelling. It reflects that you're an idiot.
If you read the way you write then don't bother reading Sitchin because you wouldn't understand anything.
Sorry dude, but you're a dummy.
You want to talk shit Owain, this thread is in english. Learn english first then, and we can continue discussing aliens and how you kiss pauls ass.
You will notice that my earliers post were not worded as they are now. You guys have brought me down to your level but its ok. I came from this level as I was raised in NYC.
I'm Puerto Rican with green eyes and light hair so I look like a white american or white european. In NYC I had to deal with older white american men that spoke to me in private about blacks referring to them using the N word.
In other words. I've dealt with animals before. You guys aren't going to chase me away and furthermore we can share insults to see who blinks first.
If you don't believe anything in the bible and you can't accept the ancients text, then you are unequipped to debate the maya calendar or a 2012 doomsday/ new begining with me or anyone that is somewhat familair with these theories.
You are simply missing info.
Understand that the tie-in at the top of the threads subject to the earths geomagnetic reversal with 2012 links it with tha maya calendar as there is no such subject about a geomagnetic reversal using the 2012 date unless you include what some call prophesy.
Idiots, get your shit together.
See. I can sound just like Paul, wanna kiss my white ass too Owain?

Notice the the 'AND' following 'PAULl' and the words 'BY INFERENCE'. It makes all the difference. But don't let that put you off. What is it the American say? Ah yes. Bring it on.
November 15th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I meant of course to write, "If you would like to GO back" not "could back". That plainly doesn't make sense. Actually as it doesn't make sense it might have been written by Rico or one of the other twits here.
November 15th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Owain are you seriously telling me that we can't discuss aliens because they haven't been proven to exist?
Dude, I can say anything I want. I can say that the alien gazoooo in the flintstones cartoon made the earth. This does not give Paul the right to insult me.
Not you nor Paul has the RIGHT to tell me what my opinion sholuld be or how to think.
I don't know how they raise you boys back in europe but here in America we can basically say anything we want and if someone calls us names usually theres a punch or two thrown. Perhaps you and Paul are smallish men that come here to insult people because no one can put their hands on you in here. I imagine that you're compensating for your inability to use your insults face to face in real life with someone in your area that doesn't agree with you.
I can understand that. Nevertheless man, again you're an idiot if you think I can't post ancient astronauts here. You don't own the site and you didn't make the rules. In fact the only reason you even say that shit is because thats the path that Paul has taken.
You're a small man and a follower.
Kiss my ass man. You cant tell me what to do.

November 15th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Dude, don't try to fix that shit. It makes no sense no matter how you say it. I don't know what the hell you were trying to say but the authors you mention are not de-bunkers of alien intervention they support it.
Stop, stop it. You just dig yourself deeper.
Owain do you know where your rights end?
Your rights end where mine begin. If you have the right to post in here so do I.
Any rights you have in here so do I.
I have the right to an opinion and not you nor paul has the right to post personal insults. Now that both you and paul have waived these rights by acting in such manner it opens the way for me to call you whatever I may consider you and your opinions. Morons comes to mind.
Animals with with blinders that have no peripheral vision. You only see whats in front of you.
I didn't start the name calling. I'm simply adopting and showing paul what happens when something that he started evolves.
Paul is a puffed up proud of nothing idiot that thinks he shits roses and you are his Robin, a sidekick.
Again, you can both kiss my ass.

In the interest of detente,
The depictions at Abydos, Egypt.
Which is true:
Are they ancient, as per scientists research ?
Are they a hoax, put there / created just prior to discovery ?
November 15th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Owain see how you refer to "other twits here"?
Thats what I mean, you call people twits because they don't share your beliefs.
The word wanker don't mean shit in america. It sounds stupid to us. You're what we in america refer to as an asshole.
This is the definition of your character as you present it here, an asshole.
I mean, no one here has insulted you yet you call us twits. You've adopted that attitude from paul.
I know that you at least have some sense. Not a lot, but some. That being the case I know that you realize how stupid you sound calling people names here for no reason other than you don't agree with them.
Its just a matter of time now for you to be gone from here. You should be embarrased at how genuinely stupid you sound. If you're not embarrased or shamed by your nonsense then maybe the small amout of sense I gave you credit for is non- existant and you really are just a dummy.
Either way I don't expect you to last here. Do the honorable thing and save face. Leave now, one blind arrogant brit is enough for any blog don't you think?
Here Owain, I'll give you some stuff to keep you busy in google ok so you don't get too bored. You can also follow the blog just don't post man. I'm helping you here ok?
Here google this :

You see what I've said is insult me, Paul and the serious scientists who do the de-bunking of the people who say aliens have built whatever they're supposed to have built. These people would include Velikovsky von Daniken etc. It's not difficult to follow really. Although it obviously is but I don't know how to put it any more simply for you to understand. We don't usually do differentiated explanations.
November 15th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Paul only post when hes at work. He'll post again on monday. On weekends you won't hear from him. Hes actually become a regular with this pattern. He post on weekdays during working hours. The man works for a living.
I can accept paul and his attitude what drove me insane today is that paul post in here and actually shouts out for followers and all of a sudden he has a sidekick spewing garbage.
This can be contagious and I felt that I had to confront the first assclown to answer pauls call.
Paul I feel bad that it hadda be Owain that answered. Go ahead and keep shouting for someone to help address our nuttiness. But lets get you someone that makes sense and can think for him/herself. I'm sure you'll agree that you got a bum deal with Owain here.
I'm sure someone'll show up that writes stuff thats more readable and makes some sense.
If not I'll just by inference de-bunkers of you all!!!!

In Britain wanker means someone who plays with him/herself – a masturbator i.e. wastes ones time.

Do you have a little sister? Maybe she can help you?
You don't seem to understand rights.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME WHAT TO BELIEVE.
You keep believing in your wrong today right tomorrow science and I'll believe what I want ok?
I won't call you names and I won't refer to your beliefs as stupid ok? Can you reciprocate?
Also explain to me why I can't post here about ancient astronauts.
Should we take a vote?
If we have a vote and I lose I'll leave. If I win you leave hows that?
Maybe Paul will be interested in this also.
You can get rid of one of the twits like this. Unless the people here say that you guys are the twits.
Like we americans say, bring it.
Interested in that bet Owain?
I don't care either way. I wouldn't want to be a site that tells me what I can opine.
So your call dude. We can call a vote.
If the people here say I can't post about ancient astronauts I leave but if they say I can…You leave….For good too.
I gotta go shopping but I'LL BE BACK. I speak for myself.

I'm actually enjoying all this name calling. Rico seems to have issues and it looks as though Owain and to some extent Paul have really got under his skin. I put this in just as a though – could he be unsure of his beliefs??
I'm looking through the previous posts to see what's REALLY happening here. What I have seen it looks like it's a draw so far between Owain and Paul and the people in Rico's corner – Amit, Espumpin and Just a Thought. Not sure yet which side Martin is on though I have my thoughts. Good fun.

This is really very simple. I offer the theory that there were ancient scientist base on what I've read from certain authors.
They don't believe this because they claim theses a lack of evidence. In other words they ask me to offer proof.
They don't seem to understand that the lack of evidence isn't evidence in their favor.
Its just undiscovered. The only issue I have is that these guys seem to think its ok to call us names because of what we believe.
If anyone follows the post they will find me asking several times to stop the name calling.
At this time I figure that the only language that they understand is the one that they're speaking…Insults…So I speak to them in insults.
Stephen if you say that you don't share the ancient alien theory its ok. I may direct you to some things considered possible evidence but if you come back without looking at what I directed at you and debunk me erroneously the way Paul did then dude. Its really simple isn't it?
At that point my position is to ask you to kiss my ass. After you talk all this know it all shit and then you take a real look and come back and tell me that your alledged theory was wrong what am I to say?
I say you're fulla crap don't I?
Take a look at the post. You'll find idiotic condescending theories without research thrown out there by Paul who later recants.
This is because these people talk without knowing shit.
They talk about the stars and yet they know nothing about the history of the early civilizations.
The we have Owain. If you actually study the thread you'll find this lackey is trying to ingratiate hinself with paul as if by doing so paul would in return grant him cybersex or soemthing.
Its retarded.
Its like me saying Stephen you don't know what you're talking about. Theres no such thing as neutral take a stand you wimp wanker. Makes no sense does it?
You do what the hell you want I have no right to tell you how to think.
I stand by my beliefs alone. I don't need anyone here or elsewhere to stand behind me egging me on.
Its a matter of "levers and ramps ol' boy"
You tell me Stephen, would I be correct in telling you what you can write here with regards to a 2012 prophesy of an end time either by axis shift, polar shift, meteor, or anything that I want?
is it your right to tell me to go somewhere else to post about these things?
Better yet Stephen. Do this. Look at the subject matter at the top of the page before you read the thread and then come back and tell me post something about the actual subject matter. See where that leaves you man.

Stephen, the superbowl which is the championship game in american football.
The superbowl holds like 9 of the first 10 spots in record breaking TV audience.
In other words when they play the superbowl. The world stops to watch.
I don't see anything about a Rugbybowl. I coudn't even name a rugby team. Thats just my culture or lack thereof. But I know football and I know the league. And theres nothing comparable and I nclude major league baseball.
The average american football team is valued at a little bit under a billion dollars.
Soccer (notice I don't call it football) sucks to me. Its boring. Its usually a 0-0 game and I feel like I just kissed my sister.
I may watch world cup finals but thats it.
Boxing, american football, and basketball in that order. The rest is filler.

Right on Raul my man. answeres to the questions guys. C'mon!!!!!
November 15th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Basically the subject matter should be is anything natural going to happen that could have been known to the maya and caused them to make a calendar with the natural end date in mind. Hence the 2012 date for a geomagnetic shift.
It could be anuthing though. The maya didn't nessesarily predict catastrphe on 2012 via a geomagnetic shift.
In fact they say in their text that this age will end by fire. Go figure. I like the volcano theory better as an end time event. This would corroborate what Raven has bought up about supervolcanoes and their impending eruptions in the very near future.
All this by or before 2012 which would represent the begining of a new age.
This is all legend. But with the astounding artifacts these ancient peoples left behind I'm under the impression that their scriptures should be studied a little more diligently.
Its like the movie close encounters of the third kind when the french are in india and the people are chanting that sound. They ask the people from where the sound came and thousands of hands pointed at the sky all together.
Look at where the hands are pointing is all I ask.

I wondered where the poem/story I mentioned that my friend sent me could be from. How ancient is it? She said may be Hittite. Perhaps it is old as that or from Sumerian people that are spoken of here. Lots of clever writers send ideas to this group so I am thinking there is someone here who will tell me and others who said it first. I may ask about the stars and cosmologies later.

That was easy, glad to be of help.
You know the sumerians didn't write good things about their gods. They wrote a lot about the way these gods treated man.
It wasn't until much later that the Hebrews re-wrote the sumerian stories and introduced new characters and twisted the sumerian epics to make it look as if man was the bad one and god was good. They also created monetheism. In other words they attributed the sumerian stories about what the gods did and credited all to one god and called him Yahweh.
Pretty funny really. Judaism is the base religion of Christianity and apparently Islam being they too share a monetheistic system.
The first epics before the bible before the hebrew language were from sumer.
Anyway this all ties in with ancient races worldwide and the maya had their own epics.
All of these races that went before the monetheistic religions credited their gods with everything that was good that we found as they taught them everything.
This is why I believe that the maya calendar ending 2012 is something of a sign left to us by these beings.
Say what you want just don't call me names or use derogatory comments to dispell my belief and its all good.
I can offer lots more detail but lets see what comes up.

November 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I don't even go as far as to bring up the planet of crossing which the sumerians wrote about as the origin of these beings because that opens the door to planet x.
It was called Nibiru in sumerian which is supposed to mean " to cross" or something to do with crossing. This is also the reason that Sitchin attributes a 3600 year eliptical orbit to this "planet of crossing" . This in Sitchins readings was the cause for the deluge that destryed the first men and left only the biblical Noah and his ark mates.
I'm not making this stuff up, its out there.

Hi guys. Just thought I'd drop in as I was surfing. Picked up the news about this site and the tussle that's going on here elsewhere on the net and thought I'd see what all the fuss was about.
Wow Rico. You are one feisty cat. If I may chip here, and please tell me to keep my opinions to myself, but I think you are taking on the man in Owain. He's a real heavy dude. I've knocked around the net for almost as long as its been going man, and the planet for even longer, and Owain and Paul seem to be the real deal, ya dig??!! Yeh???
I'm not saying I agree with everything they say but shit man, they are packing some heavy science and heavy comments. I've seen them dealing in other places. Get me? They are MEAN muthas. I'm telling you guy you don't want to mess with them. Not trying to scare you bro just give a word to the wise. You may be a major contributor here and feel so sure of your stuff but sometimes keeping your own council and, as they said during your war of independence, keep your powder dry, [your day may come] but these guys are serious movers and shakers. They know stuff, dig??
Off somewhere else now. Could be back soon but a moving target is harder to hit or at least pin down. Laterzzzzzz
November 15th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Oh well now we know, these guys are ringers and lovers from way back!!
Thats cool man, thanks for the heads up.
As you can see though. Already our "heavy hitter" Paul has been caught with his pants around his ankles with his now infamous "levers and ramps ol' boy".
Mr. Natural I've dealt with bullies before. In my experience theyre mostly bags of wind. You just can't let them get away with shit.
Let them explain the crap the write.
Paul is the smart one of the two. Owain is just a 6' 2" lackey with no balls.
Aparently he evolved from an Enki creative error. bad DNA you know? Follower status and all that, chip chip and here here and all that crap.

See that Owain, it seems you and your web lover Paul have some kind of notoriety for going around talking shit and bullying people.
Mr. natural has some kind of respect for you guys, says that you're very knowledgeable. I haven't seen shit in here proving that. All I seen was immaturity on the part of Paul and you kissing his ass man.
Le me ask you something Owain. Did you agree with Paul on the levers and ramps theory?
I bet you would have though given the chance. You're a lame wanker at that.
I haven't started making you guys look stupid yet. I'll let you do most the work there.

November 15th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Whoa Rico. All I know about these guys is they're heavy duty scientists. I mean HEAVY DUTY. They are into all kinds of things. It appears they're not working for the same organisations, work together or even know each other personally but have similar areas of expertise. From what I've been able to ascertain it's weird stuff. They also have very legitimate interests such as astronomy, geology and so on. Again from bits here and there that I've worked out, been sent, seen and hints they've dropped, probably accidentally, they really are the real deal. They're not as dumb as you might hope they are. Do not be fooled by what you call their stupidity. They are far from it. Are they dangerous? Not for me to say but you could get a real scorching. I've seen them at work in places on the net usually solo but sometimes with others. Never seem them together on the net before though. One contact I have has seen a couple of members of their loose association in real life-action at a conference, her verdict. Very scary, very powerful, very scientific as in hard hard science and very, very well informed. As you say, just a heads up. But I'm away now. Perhaps check in tomorrow just to see what responses come in. Be safe. Be calm.
November 15th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Mr. Natural, I appreciate your concern.
These guys have run into the wrong person in me. I'm not tooting my own horn but I'm an old man and I treat people not according to titles but by how they carry themselves.
I don't know what they know and I don't really care what they think they know. I know what I know. I know that the Bible exist and you know this too. I also know that the Bible has been around for longer than Owain and his butt buddy Paul.
I know what I believe and I respect others faith but I won't treat these guys with respect because they have titles. Respect has to be earned. You know this as well as anyone.
As for science, man, let me tell you something, where I'm from there are many different insects. We have boll weevils here. When you look up the boll weevil it says that science cannot understand how this insect flies. The way it is built scientifically it should not fly. So much for science, this bug flies all over the place.
Thats one. Heres another. You all know about these crystal skulls. If not you can go google the shit. Anyway, according to science, "they can't exist". Yet there they are aren't they?
So now we know that there are things in this world that science claims cannot exist.
So whats new? Pauls argument that ancient astronauts don't make sense scientificall\y means the same to me a sciences' opinion of the crystal skulls or the flight of the boll weevil.
Thats science. I'm not going to go the route that science can't explain god because it can.
It will, someday science will prove that god or the gods were actually ancient astronauts.
See? I believe in science. I just don't believe when someone says that soemthing is impossible and uses science as an escape for their lack of data.
Mr. Natural, what site did you hear about this tussle if I may ask? I'm just curious because Stephen came in here saying the same thing.
If you don't want to say its ok man, I understand. You can read the whole thread and you will find that Paul came in here like a storm insulting about 5- 6 people.
Thats not smart, thats stupid. I don't care how many degrees he has, he can kiss my ass with that shit.
I ain't havin it. I'll keep posting all I want until one of those bitches complains to Ian and I get booted or something.

Does anyone realize that the biblical stories were used by scholars and archeologist to discover the ancient cities in the stories. At one point they were thought to be myhical too.
Intelligence is a beautiful thing. Excercise your mind. Don't let anyone tell you that you're an idiot for having a thought.
These guys, Owain and Paul NEED to read translated sumerian tablet stories and read what the scholars have to say about the the much later biblical parallels in order to fom a better informed opinion.
You can't start deriding the opinions of others when you're not informed as to how that person came to his/her conclusion.
Paul has been weighed and found wanting in this regard.
When all the cards are in even if you still don't believe in ancient astronauts at the very least you will be more suitably informed on the subject.
There are so many things to look into. Vietnam, China, Iraq, Iran, Africa, South America, Mexico, and so many other countries have similar;y built structures and share the basically the same stories from a time when sea travel wasn't practiced with any regualrity.
Can you scientifically call this coincidence?
What happens when people have a debunking mentality it spreads and this actually is counterproductive to research.
On the surface if you asked for some kind of funding to study the possibility of ancient astronauts you'd be ridiculed.
This would be due to an established Paul like mentality.
Like I said thats on the surface. What doesn't know won't hrt Paul. Tis is the reality beacuse there are studies on this. They receive funding and there are more than one group pursuing this field from varying governments.
Someday when an announcement is made then Paulians and the Owainians will accept because science told them so.

A famous gentleman, for both his works on aliens, and climate change, wrote not long ago, about "visitors"…….
The announcement of their presence will cause a great cacophony (discord), which is what they want, and the more freedom we have to react, the better. They are here to experience something new, which is extraordinarily difficult for them to do.
I assume nothing…..but lets ask…..would the world be worse off if people practiced self control ? Would the world not be better off if there was less emnity, crime and war, due to self control ? Less greed…even ?
One might even avoid some unknown danger as a result.

We can and do look for effects that leave, say a finger print. We can't analyse the upheaval that caused, say Fold Mountain ranges, but we can deduce.
Geologically we can use depth of, and layers, to deduce periodicity of events.
Ice core sections let us know what the atmosphere contained in the past. Really its a case of, the deeper one digs, the more one finds and learns about conditions, and is able to see historical effects.
November 15th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Further, we have what we have to date, more in future, of Artifacts. The dating methods may not be accurate, but the Artifacts exist, they are tangible evidence of something. It is for our generation to decipher them….if not then the advice they convey, and accounts of past times and events, will not be at our disposal, which could be of great help and insight.
November 15th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Many think in terms of something, being 1 thing that will happen in say 2012. Apart from the fact that there is always something happening, and not one after another, instead simultaneously, is that each thing or things, is the effect /effects of the last, and the cause / causes of the next.
We are a tiny speck of dust, in our frame of reference, along with our other companions in this solar system, in comparison to the Milky Way.
Life for Earth as life on Earth, is a rythmic succession of cycles, which can and do get altered or interupted, depending on our interactions with the influences of the other specks of dust, sometimes even interacting physically.
Which is a description of everyday life really, just here, not in space.

November 15th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Mayans, Sumerians, Egyptians,
they seemded to have knowledge that is for the moment beyond our grasp. Until we find some hard evidence we only can speculate what they wanted to tell us.
All these cultures and Indian, Chinese, Greek and Roman in their sagas mentioned Gods and celestial beings.
If we do not believe in Gods or celestial beings or angels (the german catholic church did some research on angels and they said they found some evidence) then the only explanation for us would be aliens. Or anything else?
The Lord Buddha told us that there are 30 different realms of heavenly beings, some have form, some do not. In Thailand it is known that some human beings are being able to see and converse with these heavenlyy beings.
So I am more likely to equate the stories of the Old civilazations with these kind of beings, than with Aliens.
But it does not mean that I completely disbelieve in Aliens. They surely exist. If they have visited us? I do not rule it out, but I would prefer more hard evidence.
Because of the knowlege of the ancient civilazation, maybe they knew more than we do right know. But maybe the thread is not coming from outside the world but from the inside, a very likely factor being the humans getting worked up and throwing bombs at each other, other posibilities could be earth quakes and volcanic eruptions, very deadly would be a supervolcanic eruption…
… just getting back to doomsday 2012 ..
but maybe its not 2012 but 24th dec of 2016? Reasoning: my feelings of guts. Proof? No proof whatsoever
November 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
if we on this blog cannot converse in a civilized manner, calling us names and so on, and we call ourselves eduacated and the cream of the top, then the other part of human beings, that argue with knifes guns and atomic bombs certainly can give a devastating blow to our planet earth.
I would like us all to have a bit of self control and act as human beings not as dog and I admire Neil for his cool comments even if he is attacked in a dog manner, he still keeps reacting as a British Gentleman -cool and reasonable. (suggest reading his replies to some heavy dogbitings)

God or gods are by nature alien as none has ever originated on this planet in any legends.
Some had sons by earth women and these were considered semi-gods. But actual gods. None born on earth, Therefore alien by nature. Wether in story or actual.
As for angels, the word angels comes from the greek angelinos which came to us sfrom a much later language. I like to stick with the original first pantheon and their writings and stelae. You will find looking at the sumerian tablets picturing depictions of some gods with wings. The wing appear as attached not a part of the actual body of the person. Like something mechanical.
They mentioned what translates into "celestial boats" as what the god traveled in.
Its really astounding. I don't understand at all how anyone can discard this stuff.
Its all pre-biblical written in pre semitic languages. Including the first known written language the cunieform scripture of the sumerians.
There are so many many things that add up to this hypothesis that it cannot in good conscience be dismissed by any one individual.
Thats my gut feeling on that topic.
there is simply no explanation offered as to how these early people discovered the math and the astrological knowledge that they proved to posses. Along with this there were so many first "first" discovered by these early human ancestors that it boggles the mind and science cannot offer an explanation.
These people had the first hybrid wheat and barley!! These crops originated there!!
I mean….Really. These people obviously weren't idiots. Some re-thinking about their myths is surely in order.
It don't matter because like I said there are serious scientist working at sites as we write here and based on the writings left behind there are still things out there that haven't been found.
Change is the only constant.

November 15th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Later angels depicted by christians became mystical beings. Spirits in nature. There is a very real debate in the theological circles about wether or not the sons of god mentioned in genesis 6 came down as spirits and took human shape or not.
I looked at all this crap before I came across the sumerian stuff.
There were no angels the way we were raised to imagine them.
Religion as a whole has been tampered with long ago. It was manipulated by oportunistic people long after the so called gods were gone and kingship on earth is to this day still exploited.
Kings and Queens in the year of our Lord 2008. Whats that all about?
Kings and Queens originated in biblical stories as far as we knew. But again the true origin lies in the sumerian legends. Its basically the same as kingship was said in both to have been transfered from heaven.
The word King comes is related to Kin, Family.
The first kings were gods then after came the semi-gods. These were the first kings in the oldest legends availbale to mankind as an explanation.
So what then? The kings of today still have this kinship?
Its a disgrace whats happened.
This is all becoming common knowledge.
Fun stuff!

November 16th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Ricoh to
there is simply no explanation offered..
You like mystical stuff. Read Edgar Caseys account on Atlantis and you will see that there is a very simple and reasonable explanation for all this. Ships, airplanes, submarines all existed at a time 25,000 years ago and here on Earth. The civilazation on Atlantis existed for about 50,000 years. Our history does not even cover 10,000 years.
2nd read the accounts on the Lord Buddha going to the heavenly realms and teaching there the heavenly beings. These beings do not have wings they float in gracefully like cotton balls. (Biography of Acharn Mun)
The account of the Lord Buddha with his disciple Moggallana, going to the highest heaven and just to show the highest God there that he does not live eternally he made his palace tremble. After this and a bit of discussion this God realized, that also his life as a God has a limit and he has to be reborn somewhere else.
This is funstuff and gives some food for consideration
Be well Martin

November 16th, 2008 at 5:49 am
Let me state for the record.
1)The bible exists. From my understanding and things I learned at school and elsewhere the OT is a collection of prophesies by leaders of the tribes of Israel generally concerned with the coming of the Hebrew messiah. Certain texts e.g. Ezekiel appear to describe a journey high above the surface of the earth. Some authorities have, I believe, attributed the visions seen by prophets as being caused by ergot contaminated cereals. This isn't too long a shot as ergot poisoning happens today. As for Ezekiel I don't know what that is all about, yet.
2). Sumer. The base on which most western astronomy and law is founded. Builders of amazing stone structures using the technology at hand. Without the Sumerians the Greeks would have been behind the game regarding astronomy. Their advances in scientific thought and intellectual rigour was essentially home-grown. Even though only a relatively small number of the cuneiform tablets have been deciphered the claims for alien help in building their structures or even visiting are simply not there. There is no problem with them or other prehistoric believing their creators lived in the sky and came down to visit on a column of flame. These stories melded with others and reappear in every Near Eastern culture. There are no end of visitors from the sky – Zeus appeared as a swan, the gods regularly descended from Mount Olympus; Jehovah appeared as a burning bush if memory serves. Fire and gods is a common theme running through the ancient world. The wonders of the ancient world should not be diminished by the as yet unproved visitation by aliens. It actually demeans the people of the time.

Rico. As Paul withdrew his levers and pulleys point I think you might give him credit for that. He's obviously looked at the stones and realised it couldn't done merely with that set up. You have to admit that as a man of science he's done what science does. Look at the evidence and then come to a conclusion based on that evidence.

Dear Martins,
But maybe the thread is not coming from outside the world but from inside.
Is this reference to this blog / thread, or to DNA ?

Dear Owain,
Every so often I restate, that I have not written anything re my belliefs. The one I stated in a post to Paul, was as an example, of what if I chose to believe that etc etc.
I'm interested in more posts such as your 5.49am post of today.

Dear Martin,
I took a look at tripod.com. This is an example of what may be gleaned, if assumption, and preference, along with belief, is set asside.
Hence the phrasing of my question. I use the word hoax, only in order to draw attention to the question. Many have a predisposition to continue to believe in their chosen preference, for several reasons, in spite of further feasible possibiliteis being presented.

The earlier reference to the Man cured of Aids.
Why not ? E.g. A fundamental and important difference between Programmed natural cell death, Apoptosis, and cell death having been killed, was understood whilst taking a bath.
Many medicines, are discovered to be much more effective, by accident if you like, on a condition other than the one or ones they were developed to effect.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Within the frame of reference and context, that is perceived by the many as being a person, and time e.g. Messier, would not have observed any objects, light from which had ceased to reach Earth before the first moment he began observing, nor the light of which that would reach Earth after his final observation.
Within the frame of reference and context that Time is perceived to be…..Time is dependant on the speed of Earth's rotation, and orbit of the Sun. Therefore Time is dependant on speed, and is not a constant ?
Could "The end of Time" be, a change in perception, wrather than an END on any physical plane ? The end of one perception, and the beginning of another perception….one of a truer nature ?

Each owns the copyright, to their posts.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Owain, this is where we differ. The summary that you posted is mostly incorrect.
1) The Bible is not a collection of prophesies from the by leaders of the tribes of israel. The way you have described what the Bible is speaks for itself of your lack of information. It is a totally erroneous analysis. The ergot poisoning that you refer to I believe was what scholors offfered as a possible explanation to the time if witch burnings in recent history, this supposedly explained what they called possesions. If you want to blame drugs for making people believe they have talked to god look up Ayahuasca then come back and talk to me.
2) Sumer is the base for all astronomy. It has been proven to be the location of the first civilization on earth. Possible location of the Biblical Eden. The information that you have is old. Many tablets have been translated and many have not. The legends translated include "The Epic of Gilgamesh of which Espumpin and Amit have both mentioned here. This legend has been scientifically accepted as a pre semitic version of the deluge. Like I stated before, all of the biblical stories had their origin in sumerian "myths". The Hebrews simply re-cast the characters and put a twist on it. They created a One God religion and attributed all of the credit for all of the legends to this one god, Yahweh or Jehova whichever you choose.
I'm not here saying that the one true god this or the one true god that.
I'm saying that after all I've read. I have come to the conclusion that todays religion is but a shadow of ancient religion.
Ancient religion talked about gods. All of them said the same thing. They came from above and their stories describe as best they could for their time what seem like flying machines to us today.
I say that these aliens came here long ago and that they didnt create man but experimented with the more evolved type of human beings. There may have been cro-magnon and neanderthal still at that time. Anyway they genetically changed mans evolution by mixing their own DNA with early mans and creating a whole new species of human beings. This would in fact support both the theory of evolution and the creation stories.
Thats all I'm saying. You can call up all the science you want. This hypothesis cannot at this time be proven valid however it cannot be discounted.
But Owain, you can verify everything I've said.
I'm not making this stuff up. My intentions are very sincere when I say to you that you are in dire need of redifining your knowledge of the Bible.
Its a good thing that I had the opportunity to be the first to point this out to you because in fact for a second there I felt like Paul must feel. I almost called you all kinds of names.
Someone else probably would not have been as kind.

November 16th, 2008 at 10:44 am
Owain the people of the time are the ones that left the alien stories. How would we demean them? In not researching and studying these stories and then deciphering their meaning is when we deamean these ancient people.
By saying that all they wrote was myths and by categorizing their religions ass false. This deameaning don't you think?
-R-
November 16th, 2008 at 10:49 am
By ALL means have your religion and beliefs. I totally agree that 1) the religions we have today are corruption's of former religions
2) religion is a comfort blanket for people who are not able to take the consequences for their actions. People turn to religion when there is a spiritual void in their lives.
Quite true about the Epic of Gilgamesh which does seem to point to the great flood. But the most recent interpretation is that, as pointed out earlier here, the breaching of an earth dam at the eastern end of the Mediterranean caused the flooding of a huge depression that became the Black Sea. The dry land was occupied by settlers and or hunter gathers. Those that escaped the inundation would have carried the story with them and over the millennia the legend of the Great Flood would have been incorporated into Sumerian/Assyrian culture and then twisted and adapted into Hebrew/biblical culture. For many this is how legends evolve.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Not saying their religions are false at all.
You demean the people of the ancient world by saying their structures were built with the aid and direction of aliens. They were quite capable of raising the buildings. They were as clever as us but frustrated by their lack of practical science. Remember their astronomy was all done without the aid of telescopes.

November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Owain, they are the ones that say these gods did it. Not me. Also who built this dam during the time of hunter gatherers?
Flood stories came from mesoamerica as well so it couldn't jave been a totally local event.
-R-
November 16th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
It was a natural dam of glacial moraine formed at the end of the Ice Age. The floor of the Black Sea is very much lower than the Med.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Oh my bad, an earth dam. That would be a speculation.
What I'm putting forth comes from the old stories. The fact that the bible tells of a deluge and links this event with a god. Then we go to the sumerian version and they link the flood event to a god leads one to believe that the event was something that someone knew was coming and didn't tell anyone about. Both legends tell of warned survivor.
There is an actual account of the lineage of the sons of this survivor. There is speculation that Ham was the father of africa and that he was a black man. His wife was supposedly a worshiper of an opposing god though.
This of course is the biblical version.
Many of the biblical stories not just Ezekiel but also the story of how Elijah was taken to heaven in some kind of sky chariot along with the descriptions of the sumerian gods celestial boats should be analyzed further with a more modernistc mentality. Bear in mind that when the first english translation of the bible was introduced there was no electricity and there were no cars. I imagine that someone from this era would interpret many things more accurately.
The biggest debunker that Sitchin has is Michael S. Heiser. This guys has so many credentials its disgusting. Just google the name. I read his book, "The Facade".
He translated the bible from directly from the ancient Hebrew. You should read The Facade
He also saw aliens in the bible. As you can see by his credentials, he cannot be dismissed. Hes also an expert in the sumerian aspect.
There are too many coincidences for dimissal.
Too many similar ziggurats and astronomically alligned objects to call it coincidence.
Thats where we stand. I understand your explanation of how legends begin man. But thats an old argument and there are too many to be explained away with that approach.
Read the Erra Epos and see how sitchin translates it.
Good stuff!!
-R-
November 16th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
The Hebrews went out of their way to credit all of these events to Yahweh. There are many things in the bible that they probably couldn't change too much though because they are accurate. I guess you lie about an event but you can't lie about the location.
This is the reason we see so many contradictions and obviously ommitted information. Even from the begining when Adam and Eve have cain the abel. Cain kills abel and he banished and told to go away and multiply. If these were the first people who was cain to multiply with?
They left out the the inherant incest required for the start of a people with just a pair.
It cannot be proven that there were no ancient astronauts is all I'm saying.

BBC News. Professor Thomas Crowley, Edinburgh Universtiy develops new model re CO2 postponing or even possibly preventing the cooling of Earth, with unknown consequences.
I keep in mind global warming and dimming simultaneously, the latter being a counter action to the former. Since the very first squeaks re global warming were uttered publically, ( in comparison global dimming still takes a back seat…not being mentioned nearly as often) I pondered on what the other effects might be…..and whispered here and there myself, re my thoughts.
The staving off of the natural cyclical cooling of Earth. Could that be the reason why there is much Talk re global warming and what should be done….cut CO2 emissions…..yet little is done in ratio to the alleged problem, despite the fact that proven tech to produce clean energy exists many fold…….unless of coarse global warming is what has been hither to deemed as desirable in comparison to an ice age, and necessity to live in e.g. underground facilities.
There may very well be a change of heart, as new findings provide insight to what some of the unknown consequences are e.g. dimming that cuts out sunlight causing problems with food supply.
With ionoshere heating capability to boot…..what one is told and what really is, whilst relative to eachother….are not the same.

Hello Friends!
Took me a lot of time to catch up with the thread after the weekend… You guys sure did a lot of typing..
Rico My Brother, please calm down… I know its been hard, in face of the language used by Paul & Co. But i can only request you to keep your calm because its "you" that i know, and its you who is my friend, not Paul and others.. I am not at all concerned with how they present themselves…Let them disgrace themselves all that they want.
When we have so much facts to support our theories, we do not need to get down to their level to fight it out.. Remember school days?? The bullies used to shout the most when they were wrong ,and when they found it hard to get their facts accepted.. Truth is way more effective in low tones than lies can ever be, even when shouted out..
It must seem awkward coming from me, because in the past i was also guilty of indulging in the war of words. But i am learning the art of self control… And i would like all my freinds to practice it here.. No matter how low the other person gets, we dont need to bend over double to reach their level..
I know its real hard to go through such stuff with calmness. Even my Blood boils sometimes, reading some of the posts. But we dont have to fight fire with fire… We can just smother it with our huge blanket of faith and facts…
November 16th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Paul,
For once we are in agreement about something! Robert E Howard i mean.. Conan is amazing indeed.. So is Costigan and Solomon Kane.
I possess 126 book by Howard, not been able to read all of them yet… But they are so damn good that i am going at a fast pace..
November 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Paul, Are you really sure you want to trust the Neart Earth Objects Program?? I am sure all of us remember the incident some time ago when an object was discovered few days "after" it had passed very close to earth..
The universe around is so unpredictable that we cannot reply on our current technology to tell us about approaching bodies and important celestial events well in advance..
And here i find it quite strange that the Mayans were so accurate with their "primitive" technology…
November 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
And Paul, i would like to congratulate you for achieving Great Success in getting Van Daniken and others classified as "Fiction", i am sure it will do a world of Good!
You know what, more people will be interested in these books when they are listed in fiction section, because not all people are inclined to go for books labelled as "Scientific"..
And when more and more people read these books, they will wonder if its really "Fiction", because it will start making more sense to them than the other "Science" Stuff about Astronomy etc.
Good Job Paul!!!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
For the record…I don't recall posting anything in reference to Martin's 7.27pm post, and Martin's post 8pm…..I found the video, so its still there.

As for the debate about Ancient Astronauts… Did anyone chance to look upon the Web Page i linked some time back?
I am still awaiting answers from the "Other Side" (Of the debate i mean)…
So many indications cannot be wrong… I mean, why would people imagine these things?? And in that link, the art is from an era wen there were no Airplanes, balloons, Jets etc. to provide illusions to people…
November 16th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Now what is the point in removing Ricochet's post Nov 16th at 4.05pmthat says……..kinda quiet tonight.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Owain, in one of your posts you mentioned that the Ancients were lacking in "Practical Science". And that all their astronomy study was done without the aid oftelescopes… Then how would you explain their accuracy with their calculations??
November 16th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Hi Amit,
Hope you and family are well, and had good weekend.
Like on Martin's link http://www.tripod.com carvings etc do get re carved, and paintings painted over. Sometimes things get re-written, a change of context. Its why its a jigsaw puzzle, spotting where each piece has its one and only true position if it is to enhance and make the picture clearer.
Leah
November 16th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Martin, As for the Great Flood, it is mentioned in every ancient text.. There was no ancient culture whic did not experience it..
This proves the authenticity of texts of Enuma Elish. Various events recorded in Enuma can be corroborated with the records from other ancient civilisations.
And as Rico said, the appearance of similar Pyramids , Ziggurats etc at different locations of Globe does point at a guiding hand…
Then why is it so hard to believe in Alien Intervention?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
What has this civilisation created to preserve our knowlege and understanding for future generations…..say 1000 years from now ?
Time capsules with computer discs, makes the assumption that there will have to be computers 1000 years or 5000 years from now….or at least sometime in the future.
Otherwise….whats the point ? No one will be able to discern the info on them.
To leave info carved in stone, stands a chance of at least some surviving, and that given time, the true nature and meaning of the info they convey will be understood….clear as crystal.
Why clear as crystal…and not clear as water ?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
This last couple of days reminds me of Robert's one and only post that….. so much attention is given to the small details that the big picture is over looked.
I'll add….when driving, there are times when spending a disproportionate amount of time looking in the rear view mirror, means one is not looking where one is headed on the road ahead.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
If something wiped out all but a thousand….they would set about re-creating the conditions of life before the catastrophe, in so far as ther knowlege, experience and then conditions and availability of materials permitted them to do so.
What they know would be the foundation of the next civilisation.
November 16th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Very Right Leah….
I am not sure if we can rely upon Computer Discs to be the right Time Capsules for our civilisations..
I think that the primitive means used by ancients – Tablets, carvings, Drawings etc,. and even Whole Buildings are much reliable!
They knew what stuff will be able to do withstand the tests of time. Now , another point springs up from this. Let us belive for a moment that the megalithic/monolithic structures were built by the ancients on their onw. But why would they take the pains to use such heavy stones then? Whats the purpose? Cant it be related to the fact that they knewthe cyclic nature of cataclysmic events and wanted to point the future generations (Us) in the right direction!! These pyramids and their alignment have a lot to do with the alignment of celestial bodies…
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Dear Amit,
You have wisdom. Got to be big….some so big as to poke your eye out. If they would have left small stuff…stuff that wasn't almost unbelievable…who would look, or question.
Man is curious….so they left mysterious stuff, knowing it would make us question and analyse, in the hope we would understand.
Leah
November 16th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Amit,
You have my e-mail. Not a question.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Dear Amit,
Late, or early here, depending how you look at it….so going to dream now. I leave with a question re time capsules.
Who in the future, will know to look for and where to find such small hidden items ? I can imagine the myth that will be told. Thats right !!! I already wrote a short story about that. Shame my publisher died before I understood why he wanted it turned into a book. No boast, just fact.
November 16th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Leah,
I have yours as well as Rico's and Becky's..
But i haven't made any contact yet.
Actually, i am not able to access my Personal Mails at office, and i would not like to use my official ID for personal commmunication. Nor i wan t to publish that here…
But if Espumpin and JAT can provide an ID of theors too, i would appreciate… Would hate to lose contact with you guys…
I will be able to get in touch when i get an Internet Connection at home.. I am planning to relocate shortly.. Have too many things on my plate right now.. Things will settle by January, then i will be able to use E-Mails as well..
November 16th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Another point which i wanted to comment upon is the relevance of the discussion here…
Its true that the thread started from the article about Geomagnetic Pole Reversal, but it does not mean that people must limit their discuusion to that single thing only, Even in the article 2012 is the main point, so the other related things are bound to be discussed. While there are some things that point towards the significance (Or Insignificance) of 2012, there are lots of concepts which deal with the Spiritual side as well. And they cannot be ignored..
Dr. Calleman, Ian Xel Lungold, McKenna, John Major Jenkins and Peter Russell have been doing lots of research on this aspect.
As per their findings Mankind is a at a crucial moment in the transformation process.
The alignment with the center of the Milky Way, or this galactic alignment is a core idea in many of the world's spiritual traditions—especially Mithraism, the Vedic Yuga doctrine, and Neoplatonic philosophy, all the way up to William Blake.
It cannot be discarded as nonsense!
November 16th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Owain, With reference to your post made on 5:49 AM on 16th November…
You mentioned that there was no indication of Alien Visitors in Smerian Texts.. Well, i guess you dont have all the translations then. There is more than enough eveidence..
And as for Gods, you mentioned that almost all the cultures believe their Gods to have descended from Sky amidst a column of fire.. Dont you find this uncanny? Why the connection of Gods with Sky and Fire always? Rockets and Spaceships, dont u think?
And as for Bible, its a page by page copy of Enuma Elish, with some adjustments suited to the propagators at that time… You dont need to be an expert to see the similarity, its take a bit of common sense and a bit of study..
November 17th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Another week, another load of blatherings to get through before there's any sense.
Thanks to whoever said I now have acolytes!! I certainly don't need or want them.
Never met of heard of Owain but then the world and the net are a big places and it's possible we haven't landed on the same sites that debunk the conspiracy theorists and alien science sites – there are just soooo many.
Mr.Natural credits me with far too much influence and power. Just a humble jobbing guy that's all.
Stephen. If you're a rational man you should start weighing in with some comments. There's plenty to have a go at and debunk.
Who mentioned McKenna earlier? He is someone so far off the highway with his ideas that he's wandering around an intellectual desert. Mad as hatter.
Back later.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:39 am
Paul,
Welcome Back… Hope your weekend was good.
When we name people like McKenna and some others, why are you always so quick to dismiss them so disdainfully??Well, even if you dont agree with them, there is no reason why you should call them mad….
They have done a lot of research and spent innumerable hours racking their brains to come up with these theories. And atleast they have work which they can call their own. They are not just plagiarising or refining the theories of others.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:44 am
We're always aligned with the centre of the milky way. Catastrophists will always say humanity is at a crucial place and time in order to cause concern or even panic. It happened eight years ago – remember the Millennium Bug? Remember the End-Timers screeching death doom and despondancy? It happened a thousand years ago as 999 was about to turn to 1000AD. The messiah was trumpeted as returning 2000 years ago. The Christians believe he arrived, the Jews didn't. Were they good times or bad times? Good for some bad for others. In between times there are sightings of lights in the sky portending destruction, some ancient calendar is due to end/turn over portending destruction. Give it as rest.
In the spirit of, if not friendship, then reason will Amit, JAT, Espumpin and Rico tell me in plain words what they are trying to say here? DO it without quoting Sumerian texts, without pointing me and others to the ramblings of people on You Tube, without the half-arsed extracts from Velikovsky et al. Simple.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:47 am
Velikovsky wasn't above twisting and deliberately distorting the work of properly grounded science to fit his deluded theories was he? Celestial magnetic fields inducing the earth to flip over indeed. Ha!
November 17th, 2008 at 3:50 am
What might appear as an "Intellectual" desert to those who have never gone in that direction, the one who has reached there could be enjoying the pleasures of a tremendous oasis of intellect….
[The Glue that knits all theories and all prophecies into one is the fractal interpretation of reality. Fractality incorporates relativity with quantum principles into one interpretation and more. Fractal super symmetry of space/time is the double helix curvature – it is the theory of everything (physical and spiritual) that gives ONE meaning not only to partial physical theories but also reveals spiritual truth inherent to prophecies and ancient texts and monuments of Mayan, Biblical, Egyptian, Sumerian, Vedic, Chinese and other origins because they are only different derivates of ONE reality…
November 17th, 2008 at 4:57 am
Paul,
You seem to be mistaken about the Galactic Alignment we are discussing here.
The period in which the crossing of the galactic plane occurs, starts in 1980 and ends in 2016. Now you would ask what was the reason to choose so specifically for December 2012? The answer is that the Mayas found something other than the middle of that period more important: The ancient Maya intended their 2012 end date to target the alignment of the solstice sun and the Milky Way galaxy. Ultimately, the Maya envisioned the alignment to occur in 2012 as a union of the Cosmic Mother (the Milky Way) with First Father (the December solstice sun), the rare alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic Center is the reason why the Mayas chose to end their 13-baktun calendar on December 21, 2012.
Once every 26.000 years -this time in 2012- the soul of the universe, the core of the Milky Way, will be in one line with the sun, the center of our solar system, and with our planet Earth. So the center of our small part of the universe (microcosm) then is in direct connection with what the Mayas called the cosmic womb (macrocosm)
November 17th, 2008 at 5:39 am
The main aim of current physics is the combining of relativity with quantum theory. It hasn't been done and fractality hasn't done it. The closest physics has come to achieving it was in the 1920's when Kaluza and Klein did it but only in five spatial dimensions. The 'trick' is to do it in our three spatial dimensions. While there does seem to be a link between fractals [in particular the very well known Mendalbrot Set] and the quantum world it is mainly due to chaotic nature of fractals which some see mirrored in the quantum world. However the quantum world exists at the very base of the physical world while fractals are very much of the macro world. This is NOT to preclude anty yet unproven or inheritantly unproveable link between the quantum world and the world beyond that of physics. Some have theorised a link between the quantum and dreams/parallel universes etc. At present any links are beyond testable experiments and remain theories.
November 17th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Strange theories such as super string and M-theory have, according to some including Michiko Kaku, arrived before they can be effectively used. He said these theories appear to have been dropped in on us from the future. He DIDN'T actually mean that a scientist or some alien culture dropped them through time to help us. They haven't been much help in actual fact. Initially they casued some confusion.
There are instances however where a theory is developed that appears limited or leads to a deadend. For example. A paper from 1962 by Subramanian Chandrasekar entitled 'The Bifurcation of The Jacobi Elipsoids' sat in the libraries for 25 years so or seemingly a paper on abstact mathematics. Come the late 1980's and astronomers are struggling with the many millisecond pulsars that were being discovered at the time. The problem was how could something so dense and so small [10 miles diameter and composed of degenerate matter] rotate at over 630 times a SECOND and remain spherical. Someone remembered Chandrasekar's work and dug it out. [Chandra was a famous astronomer
known for his work on stellar evolution and the mass limit for white dwarves - Chandrasekar's Limit]. The result is that we now think that rapidly spinning neutron stars i.e. pulsars highly flattened ellipsoidal bodies. Thta's how science works.
Lumping fractals in with prehistoric writings is not going to provide scientific answers or even provable answers. It most certainly does provide answers to the sort of question that you and Espumpin and Rico are seeking. I say that without any preducice at all. By all and every means find the explanations you want to find but don't mix them in with real scientific endeavours.
I'll respond to your post about galactic alignment once I've read it through a number of times. There appear to be some big misconceptions on your part about the behaviour of the stars and the solar system within the milky way.
November 17th, 2008 at 6:27 am
In answer to your assertion the the sun/solar system started to cross the plane of the milky way in 1980 and ends in 2016. Well at present the sun and solar system are 88 light years ABOVE i.e. north of the galactic plane and still moving northward at around 7 kilometers per second. In 15 million years it will be 220 light years above the plane of the galaxy. From then on the sun will plunge southwards once again crossing the plane and ending up 220 million light years south of the plane. The sun crosses the plane every 33 million years or 3 times per galactic revolution.
I think the 26000 years you refer to is the direction the poles point to. Every 26000 years the rotational pole points to the same point in the sky. In 26000 years the pole will return to pointing towards Polaris. It then moves to Vega then on to Thuban in Draco. So it goes. But the galaxy centre alignment with the sun is a non-starter.

Over millenia the 'winter' solstice changes. It hasn't always fallen in December. Look at the precession of the equinoxes. The First Point Of Aries – the point where the sun crossed the ecliptic used to occur in the constellation of Aries. It now happens in Pisces. It constantly moves backweards in the sky. Ditto the solstices.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the 'ancient' poems you sumitted are actually pieces written by Michael Moorcock for the Chronicle Of The Blacksword album in 1984 and subsequent Live Chronicles tour of 1985 by Hawkwind. The first has been substatially changed though. Great band Hawkwind.

Dear Paul,
In your Nov 11th 3.04 am post you wrote……"bobs up and down 3 times in one galactic revolution" and that one revolution of the Milkt Way was 225 milion years.
Nov 17th 6.27 am "3 times per galactic revolution……sun crosses the plane evey 33 million years"
Even if I assume you mean "bob up and down" to mean crossing the plane North to south 3 times and South to North 3 times = 6 crossings in all….it doesn't add up to 225 million years. 3 times 33 million years is no where near 225 million years.
I would hope that you quoted someone else's research and calculations, and that these are not your own.
Be well,
Leah

Dear Espumpin,
Ask yourself what other circumstances….segregation ? Why ?
Expectation of mass imigration ?
Keep separate to protect majority from a minority ?
Everything has many uses, not just one. Not necessarily concentration camp per se, but that's what man compares with….the last time same or similar was seen. Only those know who are in charge of them, know what their intentions are.
Be well, Leah
November 17th, 2008 at 10:20 am
Paul, welcome back and I hope your monday morning at work has been good.
If you read the initial subject matter by Ian or whomever you will find this:
"2012 doomsayers use the geomagnetic shift theory as if it is set in stone."
This open the subject matter somewhat as the 2012 date is highlighted as a doomsday or new begining event almost exclusively with prophesies and the maya calendar.
Now, you and I are well aware that the statement is incorrect. There are many maya 2012 advocates that profess other than a geomagentic shift.
The fact that the threads subject matter mentions this open the door for me to post my theories, beliefs, or whatever opinion I may have regarding the 2012 date mentioned above.
This clears up the question of wether or not I should be talking here about maya religious beliefs and legends.
If you take the calendar at face value and look at the start and end dates it means nothing.
One has to take the context of the maya culture in order to apply any meaning to this calendar.
In thier writings the maya explain the calendar as measuiring "an age"
I believe it represents the 4th or 5th age of man and they mention that man has gone through 3 or 4 ages before and they all ended in catastrophe. This age is to end by fire.
I understand your position.
My position however is that the maya like the sumerians, talk about "visitors" that provided them knowledge.
The difference between you and I is that I don't disregard their beliefs and explain it away as myth.
In answer to your question as to what I'm trying to say is simply that the maya learned from these visitors that are described as obviously superior beings.
I consider the calendar a ticking timer left behind to let us know that the maya were aware of this time period in the 5th age.
I think that they were under the impression that this was common knowledge amonst intelligent civilizations as when the spanish landed in south america back in the days they offered a calendar as if the spanish knew what it would be.
Thats what I'm trying to say.
I'm saying that the calendar for want of a better word is of devine or alien knowledge. But of course being that you would have to make leaps and bounds to understand what I'm trying to say because you don't accept any religious data.
I can agree to disagree with you, however you can offer no scientific proof that it didn't happen the way I say.
Also, as I stated in earlier post the lack of evidence which you would accept as scientific does not prove you correct in your belief that no ancient astronauts have visited earth. Science is constantly accepting as fact things that seemed impossible in the past.
There is an abundance of information on which I base my beliefs.
What these beings were able to calculate we don't know.
Perhaps there is a pattern that we are unaware of that causes major changes that bring about these world changing events and they were able to measure the time spans.
I know you don't like speculation but in the absence of fact like any scientist will do that is all I can offer at this time.
I don't disregard anything.

November 17th, 2008 at 11:58 am
What if each of the past civiliasations that Archeologists study world wide, each represent ONE of the 3-4 or 4-5 ages of man one after another….Mayan having been the last…… and ours is the next ?
They could all each be telling of a catastrophe…..cyclical….but not the same one.
It does not help to think that one can use carbon dating tech etc….to assertain anyhting other than the approx age of the stone, minerals etc…..which has nothing to do with when the stone was carved / worked upon. There is no tech that can tell when the carving was done…..just can't be older than the stone itself……but wait……minerals grow, so one needs to calculate the age of the stone in the quarry etc…..as the age of a quarried piece of stone is not indicative of the age of the entire quarry location.
Even then, one can not carbon date etc, when the stone was quarried.
There are those that would convince themselves that they know such things……but cannot prove nor disprove what they only think they know.
November 17th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Further….Assertaining when a stone was carved, by weather erosion etc, is not proof of when it was quarried.
To assume that any stone was both quarried and used, in buildings or as carvings, by the same civilisation, will not lead to truth. Some might have been, some might have been recycled, and even re carved.
History, like nature is cyclical and repeats itself, as we recycle today, as we re-use bricks, stone and much else.

November 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
My point was, from a different perspective, that another human / humans told others 11,000 BC. No God came from the skies with this information, and gave it to the archeologists of 19th, 20th or 21st century.
It is human conjecture. As science changes its view as to how old the universe is, on a regular basis due to further info and understanding, so, archeology has changes its views.
November 17th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Has it occured to anyone that truth / fact, is whatever anyone chooses to believe it is ?
November 17th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
The eyes of a Dragon fly, are made up of over 29,000 lenses, each of which has a unique perspective. Does the Dragon fly deem only one of them as being the truth, or factual.
No, each of the perspectives contribute to the big picture.
November 17th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Future man will find artifacts and ruins and first ask who built and made these things, then what were they used for. Later he will ask, why did they do that. The answers to those questions will be varied, each a different perpective. Eventually realising that each perspective is a part of the whole.

November 17th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Leah there were dinosaurs here that is a fact. There was no man when the dinosaurs were here. this is also a "scientific" fact.
However, it does not mean that earth had visitors as far back a the dinosaurs. I'm not sating this what I believe but its not impossible.
I just want to bring up a point.
In America theres a saying:
If it ain't broke.
Don't fix it.
The way I'm applying this sating is that if the powers that be are happy with the establishment, as in establishe religion and kings and Presidents and prime ministers and all that crap.
Then should anyone ever find proof that there is no such thing as God. That it was aliens that came down and were taken as gods by early man and everything that sitchin proposed is true.
It wouldn't get out. There is no way in hell that they wwould announce this to the world.
First of all now that there is no god there is no reason to be good for christmas so it becomes a free for all. Second of all you have whole generations that have dedicated their lives to religion, how many suicides would there be?
No. I could never offer proof because I would have to. This would be a true world discovery and I wouldn't have to prove anything, everyone would know.
But whos ready to make the announcement?
The USA? The British? No, thats the same as the USA right?
France? Nah, they have religion there also.
The Arabs? Nah, their people are already insane what with strapping bombs to themselves.
No one would announce it. If someone discovered proof it would be like inventing a car that can 500 miles on a gallon of water. They'd buy your invention and we'd never see it.
Same with that type of iscovery, they'd shut up whoever knew and we'd never know.
This is the birth of a conspiracy theory.
Now I can say that maybe there is proof.
But it's not sciences' fault that we don't know because scienece has to answer to someone else doesn't it?
You have to admit. Even if say Paul there had proof he would have to consider the moral consequences wouldn't he?
It's like my man,

Paul,
Thanks for your explanations..
Though i am not sure if it convinces me against my beliefs. Still, the points you mentioned about the Galactic Alignment are worth looking into. I wil try to find some more details and get back with it…
As for Fractals, i dont know about the link of quantum world with fractals. But McKenna has doen enough to show us the relation of Fractal Time with the real world..
The structure McKenna saw appearing over thousands of years, he also encountered in a small form, through which he discovered that time has a fractal-like structure. In a fractal part of the whole is like the whole. This discovered structure links up with the predictional talents of the Mayas. They were the ones who discovered that time repeats itself, is cyclical. They gave different values to different periods of time. E.g. some days were good days, and other days of e.g. periods of twenty years, were less favorable. 'Because Mayan time was cyclical, effects were thought to eventually, and potentially, repeat themselves. So you have all these various cycles that fit together. By looking at the calendar, the Mayas could not only see what day it was, or year, but also what 20-year period it was in relation to. They could also see what was to come. Therefore, the Mayas foresaw their own demise ahead of time. 'Knowledge of fractality in the past attests beyond speculation that this [our present-day] civilization is one out of many and it will expire, just as its predecessors did, on a due date.
You may refer The Prophet's Manual by Danel Srsa, a book full of complicated calculations which have to prove that time is a fractal and that 2012 is the year in which all predictions of all old cultures will reach their peak.

Dear Andrew,
Aside from BLAH, do you have a view of your own on this subject ?
Leah
November 17th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Hey Rico!!
Good to see you online today….
Just read through all you posts… Thats more like it Bro!
And a good point you made about religion.
Religion pervades everything, even today!Today’s global challenges of war and peace, democracy and human rights, and economic and social development all have an important religious dimension. Tensions
among religious communities can impede international cooperation, political stability, social cohesion and economic growth. But it is also potentially part of the solution: those communities are often among the most
important forces mobilizing on core values such as human dignity, solidarity and social responsibility. The ethical resources of faith communities – a source of transcendent values – and their social influence are
underutilized resources in building coalitions for positive change. Religious traditions prioritize human flourishing, a
core value for the creation of a durable and legitimate global economic and social order.
Sorry, i strayed a bit…. Way off infact. But i hope it makes some sense.. Better than Andrew's Blah Blah atleast!
November 17th, 2008 at 8:18 pm

So we will never have proof until an actual UFO landed in a very public area or crashed into a very public area.

November 17th, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Rico,
I firmly believe that The Great Pyramid holds the key to a huge amount og astronomical mysteries. While people can debate the fact that it was built in 11000 BC, there are a lot of points which differentiate it from the other pyramids built at later times. I know that you already know about the points i am about to mention below.. I am just douing it for the sake of Paul and others…
The Great Pyramid of Giza has been shown to be an almanac capable of measuring the length of the year to an accuracy of 365.2422 days — rivaling the accuracy of a modern telescope. The ancient architect(s) may also have known the mean length of the Earth’s orbit around the sun, the average distance of the Earth from the Sun, the specific density of the planet (and thus the weight of the planet), the precession of the equinoxes (which defines the current era as the Age of Pisces), the acceleration of gravity, and the speed of light. In fact, as a simple, precise, and virtually indestructible surveying instrument, the compass point of the pyramid is so finely tuned to north that modern compasses use it for a reference. The Pyramid’s location also serves as a geodetic marker for the geography of the ancient world – being located at the geocentric center of the earth’s land mass.
The Great Pyramid also incorporates in its sides and angles the means for creating a highly sophisticated map projection of the northern geohemisphere, and as such correctly incorporates the geographical degrees of latitude and longitude. It is also a celestial observatory from which maps of the stellar hemisphere can be accurately drawn, and along with the other two Giza pyramids replicates the exact positions of the three stars in the “belt” of the Constellation Orion. Finally, there is an example of The Golden Spiral, whereby the three pyramids and the Sphinx are interlocked and thus situated by design.
It is clear that the builders of the Great Pyramid knew their Sacred Geometry, as well as the importance of the Golden Mean.
This lower angle is not arbitrary. The three Pyramids of Giza are the only pyramids in Egypt which have attained the steep angle of almost 52°. All of the other, later Egyptian pyramids — all of which are more recent, lesser, smaller, decayed, or collapsed — were likely built by Pharaohs, but none succeeded in attaining the “perfect angle” of 52°.
Not that they didn’t try, however. Pharaoh Sneferu, early on, embarked on building steep angled pyramids at Dahshur and Maidum. The latter collapsed, and the architects quickly changed the Dahshur pyramid to a safer angle of 43 1/2°. This change in mid-construction resulted in a pyramid now known as the “Bent Pyramid”.
The fascination is that the 43 1/2° angle of the upper portion of the Bent Pyramid and all of the other pyramids of Egypt have been built at the same angle as the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan! Furthermore, while an angle of 52° might have been derived from simply dividing 360° by 7, 43 1/2° has no such correspondence, and a simpler minded builder might more realistically have chosen 45°.
November 17th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
And how about Cydonia?? What do the scientists have to say about that? Face on Mars remember?
NASA’s latest photographic evidence, while challenging the concept of a “Face on Mars”, did not, however, provide any reference or rebuttal to theories concerning several pyramid like structures, unusual craters and ridges, and other large scale objects in the Cydonia region, and which have been shown to illustrate profound Hyperdimensional Physics and mathematics. The end result is that it is extremely unlikely all the formations in the Cydonia region are natural, and instead are almost certainly artificial and contain within their coding, valuable information.
Much more significantly, in bringing the Cydonia message down to Earth, Myers and Hoagland have shown the complex of structures and their mathematical relationship have been duplicated on the planet Earth, specifically in the area southwest of London, England. A small scale version includes Avebury’s famous Stone Circle, Silbury Hill, a small burrow west of Silbury Hill, and a series of burrows west of Avebury. These ancient structures match up with the Cydonia map exactly.
The obvious implication that the constructed “henges”, circles, mounds, and even cuts in surrounding dikes in the Earth version, which correspond on a one-on-one basis with what is seen on Mars in a much larger size, is that the builders of the English landmarks were either aware of the Martian features (or the Martians were mimicking Earth’s features).
Another Mars-Earth connection involves three, so-called shield volcanoes on Mars which lie in the same exact relative position as the three stars (Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka) in “Orion’s Belt” in the constellation Orion, and the three Giza Pyramids near Cairo, Egypt, and the three pyramids at Teotihuacan in Mexico! Furthermore, if the Sphinx is included with the Martian alleged volcanoes (there being no conclusive proof that they’re of natural origin), the Sphinx’s location would be precisely on the equator of Mars. And just to drive the point home, “Cairo” means Mars in a local, ancient language of Egypt.
The reality appears to be that if we merely look around our planet for artifacts and other anomalies — those which simply can not be explained by a limited view understanding of what the ancient human civilizations were capable of — then we are faced inexorably with the fact that other non-human intelligences were involved in their creation.
Over To Paul……

Not to omit, that past civilisations may have been space travel capable, and created those structures on Mars. Maybe copying what was found on Mars here on earth ….as a sign for us to notice the next time we had the capability to do so.
Leah
November 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pm

Yes Leah,
That was surely one of the possibilities. But i wanted to leave it to the disbelievers to ponder about..
They may argue about the space travel capability, but they cannot refute the astounding similarities which i pointed out.
I am waiting to see to whom they credit these structures then.

Andrew: What on earth as all that about?
To the others: I don't know why you persist with this 11,000BCE date for the pyramids. There is no evidence for this ludicrous assumption. The world was still recovering from the effects of the Ice Age which had ended around a thousand years earlier. The northern hemisphere while warming very quickly was still an environment that was harsh and humanity can still be considered Palaeolithic. Megalithic builders were still c5,000 away. By megalithic I'm refering to the pyramids, Stonehenge, Sumerian ziggurats etc. not Newgrange, Skara Brae, Avebury, Carnac etc.
The huge structures of Mexico, Peru and Central America are from around 900 AD to 1400AD give or take.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:03 am
AMit. There are no artificila structures on Mars. End of story. The 'Face' seen on Mars has now been photographed in close up many times and is just a mound of rock and regolith. When photographed from earth the shadows cast because of the angle of the sun and positions of both earth and Mars throws the roughness and wind-cut surfaces into high relief and appear face like. I thought THAT particular stupidity had been cast into the dustbin a long time ago.
BTW. As someone said a few days ago about me; I have at NO time said that Velikovsky/von Daniken etc should be burned, banned or otherwise kept from the public. All I have done is ask for them to be re-classified, taken out of the science sections and placeed in the fiction/fantasy section. Incidentally more people actually read fantasy than science so perhaps they will be more widely read but read as fiction NOT facts. Venus a former comet. Get a grip.
November 18th, 2008 at 4:44 am
Paul,
Please read carefully… I never said that the Face on Mars is a "face"!!!
You dont even bother to read the post, you are just skimming through the text and picking up words at random and then replying on the basis of that..
If you would take out some time to read that post again, i would not need to explain the context in which the term was used…
Please revert when you have done that.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:00 am
Leah. Regarding the apparent discrepancy with my maths. The 33 million years is the lowest figure that has been postulated with an upper figure as high as 40 million years per bob, as it were. So 33 x 6 gives 198 million right at the lowest estimate while 40 x 6 gives 240 million somewhere at the top.
It's only in the past 30 years that our rotation around the galaxy has been deterimed and initial times were hazy. Vera Rubin was probably the first to recognise that there is a problem relating to galactic rotation due to the extensive halo of normal as well as dark matter beyond the visible 'ends' of the disc.
If you check out the following sites you will get a beter and deeper understanding of the complexities of rotation in even a galaxy such as ours which is in universal terms rather simple.
http://www.dailygalaxy.com: Says it takes roughly
37 million years to oscillate and between 200-250 million years for one rotation around the galaxy.
idiadstars.com says the sun is moving up and down the plane takes 33 million years.
americanscientist .org states anywhere between 27-36 million years while quoting an amplitude of 230 million years [as I wrote] and crossing the plane every 33 million years.
For a detailed account of the motion around the galaxy check out this site http://calgary.rasc.ca/howfast.htm#galactic
33M x 6 = 198
37M x 6M = 222M
40M x 6M = 240M

Let's get this straight. There is NO evidence for artificial structures on Mars no matter how much you want there to be. For Hoagland to cite hyperdimensional physics plus the end of the Mayan calendar [yet again!] and christ knows what else all combining to …Jeez words fail me. Marduk this Marduk that, aliens the other. Marduk this Amit. Nothing alien has been discovered, seen, infered on Mars, structures or artifacts. When it is then I'll believe it.

In the beginning there was the One, the One who will be in the end. The Earth and heavens were not, and day and night were not, but the One was and will be. Light and dark, the highest and the lowest, all was united in the One.
But Ialdabaoth the blind Demiurge broke free, proclaiming the word "I am". And thus disunity was created.
Ialdabaoth named things, and they were separated from the One. Thus he created the world.
First Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Saturn, the first and greatest of the Aeons!". And the Lord of Time was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that past was separated from future.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Jupiter, the Aeon of Separation!". And the Lord of Space was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that above was separated from below.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Mars, the Aeon of Destruction!". And the Lord of Dust was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that decay and imperfection ruled everything.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Mercury, the Aeon of Consciousness!". And the Lord of the Mind was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that all things were distinguished and named.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be the Moon, the Aeon of Spirit!". And the Queen of the Night was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that the worlds were separated by the abyss of night.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be Venus, the Aeon of Life!". And the Lady of Plants and Beasts was created, and Ialdabaoth saw that all life grew, survived and died in endless cycles.
Then Ialdabaoth proclaimed "Let there be the Earth, the Aeon of Matter!". And Gaea, known as the Kingdom, was created. And Ialdabaoth saw that the fragments of the One was trapped within shells of matter and movement, ruled by the urges of Venus, imprisoned by the ring-pass-nots of the Moon, the names of Mercury, the strife of Mars, the labyrinths of Jupiter and the eternities of Saturn. And he proclaimed: "Hereafter disunity will rule to the end of time!"
But then he heard the voice of Sofia, the wisdom of the One imprisoned within the fragments: "Thou hast spoken the truth, O Lord of Dispersion. Disunity will rule to the end of time, but time itself will once die. One day the aeons themselves will die, and then unity will be restored". And then the One created the King of the Aeons, the Lord of the Sun, to guide the fragments towards unity.
One day the Daughter will marry and unite with the shining King, and this will begin the great Reconciliation. The One will gather together and the universe will be reunited.
In the beginning there was the One, the One who will be in the end.

good morning–all..andrew not annoying–just plain rude…thanks for sharing…
if scientists answer only to each, then it is a thought that, perhaps, science has its own agenda…its like living in a gated community, and only the residence are privy to the country club…so who benefits from it??? certainly no one who lives outside the confines…we have a much bigger community to invest in…

Hey Paul, I noticed that you mentioned Christ there. Whats that old saying? There are no atheist in a fox hole.
Nice, let's do the Chrsit thing. The name (word) Christ come from the greek meaning annointed and the name Jesus comes from the latin word Iesous which came from the Hebrew Jeshua meaning something like saviour. The annointed Saviour.
There was no one named Jesus Christ. His name was probably Yeshua.
This is the reason I look at the old testament. The new testament has connected itself with the OT as it used Yahweh as the god father figure via an "angel" blah blah.
The Yahweh god figure, has been deemed a re-cast name that was attributed all of the sumerian gods doings in the biblical stories in the Hebrews creation of a monoeistic god.
The speculation is that Yahwhe was actually Enki. You ever heard of Sir Laurence Gardner?
He's one of the advocates of this speculation. He's also advocates alien ancient astronauts.
He has some really heavy credentials. Not to mention being Knighted.
Take a look at his site:
http://graal.co.uk/index.html
His translation of the Hewbrew Bible in the part where Yahweh is talking to moses and Moses asks Yaheh who should he tell the people sent him.
God answers Moses I am that I am has sent you.
Well apparently there are some convinced that being that the Hebrew word for I am is EYAH. They contend that with Moses's Aramaic mind he may have mistranslated EA for EYAH due to them sounding the same.
If you are familiar with the story this must have been told to his people at a later date for when Moses came down from the mountain they had screwed up and moses destroys the commandments and he didn't tell them anything.
This is a more modernistic translation. It should be considered.
Its very difficult to prove something that no one wants proven and it seems as if society has spent thousands of years trying to bury.
I'm not too keen on Sagan but didn't he say something to the effect that one of saturns moons I think, that he thought it was a hollow satellite that was created as oppose to being a natural occurence. I could be wrong on this though. You're more familiar with his work, could you enlighten me?

They use a capital i and it looks like the lower case L and they can then ue your name in here and we can't tell the difference.
Its sad really. thats why I use a name with no L's.
Good luck, you can either change it to all caps or change your name altogether.

I have no problem with the existence of a man called Christ who lived in Palestine 2000 years ago. He was just one in a long line of Jewish/Hebrew prophets/teachers and preachers. There is more than enough contemporary Roman and Jewish secular evidence to identify him as such without invoking the heavenly. Should anyone care to accord him heavenly, other worldly, sacred or what ever status then fine.

“Mark my words,” said Biden emphatically. “It will not be six months [after his inauguration] before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy….Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Carl Sagan didn't rule out the possibility of aliens having landed at some distant point in the earth's history and nor incidently do I. But as for them having visited during recent prehistory and given us knowledge or manipulated our dna that's fairy tales. However if conclussive proof is turned up on an archaeological dig then we can reconsider.
November 18th, 2008 at 8:33 am
I have not tied the one called Christ with anything. The new testament did that.
I rather believe the involvement of the Essenes in his upbringing and his travels prior to his return and the stories told about the last 3 years of his life.
I don't claim anything at all about heavenly things. To me heaven meant the sky of space to the early writers.
I don't subscribe to any giant spiritual being that encompases everything and knows everything and all that mystical stuff.
I believe what I told you. In Genesis Adam hears the footsteps of god in the garden therefore giving him a physical appearance and when god callss to adam and asks him where are you? This tells me that he does not know it all.
I prefer the somewhat "scientifc" hypothesis that he was a biological being.

Science amongst its practicing fraternity , and in explaining their findings, calls "A Spade a Spade", in other words a Muon is called a Moun by all scientists world wide.
Rarely do they attach opinions or their own preference to findings to date, and many if not all, know that new incoming data necessitates re-evaluation. Science views discovered similarities and differences, as both being positive and helpful data.
When people choose to see the skin deep variation between individuals, as being only one variation, and realise we are otherwise physically exactly the same, and the only other variation, which is one of choice, being "what one has faith or belief in", we will be able to get ahead in leaps and bounds. So long as the onus is on differences, whilst ignoring "same-ness" (because they are not just similarities), it will be as driving a car with handbreak on, and a foot on the pedal brake whilst trying to accelerate.
Every individual has faith in something, whether it is in their own physical and mental capability, or a belief system propounded by parents, school or what are collectively called religion. Some have faith in Nature. No 2 are exactly the same, each being a different perspective, like the lenses in the Dragon fly's eye. What could be a coherant overture, is at present cacophony, being dischord.
When people can accept eachother, they will move forward as one. Why is an event external to the self, e.g. catastrophe, perceived as being the only type that can bring about, peoples everywhere working peacefully together.

To bob up and down 3 times in comparison to crosses 3 times per galactic year, is a difference of 100%, 3 versus 6 times.
Appologies Paul, nothing personal, it is just a good example of how easily meaning is changed, and mis-understanding can come about, and is usually unintentional, but never the less can cause problems.
Many employ ambiguity in varying degrees as tools to create, doubt, dischord and fear etc, whilst retaining the freedom to choose a prefered meaning to propound, sometime in the future, according to their will, and agenda.

Dear Paul,
Thank you for the links.
According to space agencies, satellites to date have not yet travelled beyond The Milky Way, in any direction. Yet there is a level of certainty re the direction of rotation around the Milky Way of our solar system, in relation to the Milky Way' s own direction of rotation.
If the Milky Way and our solar system are rotating in opposite directions, then it would be more accurate to say that it takes approx e.g. 225 million years for a fixed chosen point in the galaxy to line up with our sun on a cyclical basis. If thats the case then, our solar system hasn;t really covered the entire journey under its own steam, as it were, due to the counter rotation of our galaxy contributing to the journey……somewhat like a plane flying from west to east., exept that due to atmosphere, its the jet stream that cuts down jorney time.
Anyway, its been interesting.

I have never set myself up as judge, jury and executioner let alone see myself as such.
I do not seek to maintain the status quo neither do I have an atiquated mind. My interest is in moving the project forward by using scientific method to investigate ideas and theories. The real pity is that you and the other deluded people who rant on about alien visitations, telekenesis, teleportation, psychic phenomena, ghosts, messages from the Maya about the end of times and lump them all together make it very difficult for legitmate scientists who have some interest in, or even sympathy for, some of these subjetcs are detered from investigating them for fear of ridicule from the wider scientific community. Have you ANY idea how difficult it is for a legitmiate scientist to gain funding for an investigation
into say telekenesis/far seeing? Any mention of such puts them into the same category as Velikovsky and von Daniken. You forget that von Daniken was a serial fraudster and an amateur and Velikovsky was working far outside his legitimate area of expertise. If you had an idea of the damage you and your brainless hangers on are doing you would stop your blatherings.
Witch hunter? No.
Stuck in the past of an earlier mentality? Hardly. I'm not the one clinging to comforting ideas of aliens setting us out on the road to our present condition and that they will come back to rescue us from our current woes any day soon.
However, if it brings you comfort I ammoe than happy to defend you your right to believe it and anything else you wish. That philosophy is from the Enlightenment and from your founding fathers. Don't you forget that

Entirely off the subject I'm wondering why Rico feels that Obama is the greatest black man since the pharoah[s]. I'll take you to task about that – what about one of the greatest persons of the 20th century, Martin Luther King. While it is a cause for rejoicing that Obama was elected Doctor King was a man of enormous personal and intellectual courage whose only concern was a fair deal and equality for the black ciizens of his country. He wasn't a politician looking for the main chance as no doubt Obama will do.
Also, and this is a genuine enquiry, why is Obama considered black? Why is Halle Berry considered black? As the product of one black and one white parent they can equally be considered white as a former colleauge of mine did before opting for calling herself mixed race. Is it because people are actually afraid to say Obama and Berry aren't black?As they say here in Britain, "it political correctness gone mad".
ATTENTION: This is NOT a racially inspired question.

Paul and Owain I don't know how you carry on wiith this battle in fact I don't know why you continue. You're bashing your heads against a brick wall with some of these people. It's quite obvious from reading what they've posted over the past few weeks they have no real interest or appreciation of science and as you've said scientific rigour.
They persist in saying there is a load of evidence for ancient science and repeatedly either refuse to show it or as I suspect cannot show it. Their links to websites are, as someone said earlier, simply self-supporting, self-validating. So too the little community they have established here. I feel this is a pity because the sheer effort they put in and skills they have could be far better utilised in pursuit of, shall we say, real scientific achievement and dissemination of same. Drop the Velikovsky schtick and they may get a better reception here.

November 19th, 2008 at 7:09 am
There are some very strange people on this thread and elsewhere posting rubbish.
Amit, JAT, Espumpin and Rico are clearly clearly committed to their cause no matter how wrong and deluded it is. However commitment doesn’t mean it is correct. The whole idea of alien intervention, the Velikovsky rubbish, the Mayan calendar predicting that some cataclysm will happen just as their counting runs etc etc etc is total garbage no matter how long and loud the “true believers” shout it out. There is nothing to any of their claimsThe above four aren’t really worth deriding. Constantly arguing with them only makes them believe they have something important and vital to pass on. They should be ignored at every possible opportunity.
As for Raven Turcotte this person claims to be an academic who has worked for NASA. We wouldn’t employ anyone who writes as she does and I doubt NASA would unless in a lowly position. Some of the science she writes is pure garbage and delusional and undermines her case by including as soon as possible most of the rubbish posted by Amit and co.
The mindless utterances of Becky and Leah defy believe. A series of severely disjointed phrases and words presented in a rambling way DO NOT amount to philosophical insights. Your 2-3 word posting wouldn’t make it into the cheapest Christmas crackers or discounted fortune cookies. They are the ramblings of the worst sort usually found in 18 year olds at school who suddenly discover ‘sensitivity’, and how cool they think it is to appear ‘deep’
and ‘insightful’. All of you keep your mindless drivelling to yourselves.
The scientists here should stop encouraging them. You too should know better.

How can you argue with a mentality like that?
How limited and submissive can you be to subscribe to every theory you hear and even apply it to other events as an explanation?
You can't argue with that. If they don't have a biblical knowledge you literrly have to start from the begining.

Unfortunately Von Daniken and Veikovsky have given rise to no end of similar writers who have taken hold of the crackpot theories and fraudulent claims proposeed by those authors and developed them. They have incorporated all sorts of ideas both scientific, albeit twisted versions of science, and lunatic New Age thinking and presented them as fact. As Paul or Owain said a while ago they have done the ancient cultures a disservice by implying they weren't able to construct megalithic structures without alien help or that their myths, legends and theology had to be evidence of aliens visitations. As far as I can find there isn't one credible archaeologist, astronomer or historian who will give these theories houseroom. A theory is a theory until subjected to rigorous, repeatable experiments and absolute undeniable proof. This is what the other guys are trying to get through to you all. Bollocks to what they're saying at a personal level read what they're saying about the scientific method.

Stephen I agree with you 100%.
I won't take the credit away from them. Tell me, how they did they do it? How did they build structures back then in locations that should we attempt to do today with modern equipment. We wouldn't be able to do.
Explain this to me. And when you cannot explain it. Go learn about those ancient people and see what they say.
Thats all. I take no credit away from then. They accomplished great feats.
I've heard tell that nessesity is the mother of invention. It must have been very difficult building those structures under such harsh cnditions back in those days right?
I wonder what the NEED was for them to construct temples dedicated to gods.
Can you tell me any reason why they would go to all that trouble to build temples?
These were the very first religions Stephen. Don't you think they bear looking into?
The origin of religion !!!!!!! Wouldn't science love to discover this and finally put an end to it?
Wouldn't you like to tell me: Look!! We discovered your god and he's such and such!!
That would shut up so many science detractors wouldn't it?
But science can't do that due to the moral and world changing implications. Paul will explain why.
When science explains god. You will have your proof of alien intervention.
Or maybe you'd like to take a scientific crack at explaining god? Something more scientific maybe?

November 19th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
If interested in scientific aspect only, of a given subject, respectfully suggest avoiding article titles containing….2012, and any reference to ancient civilisations etc.
If this article was meant to be a general one about Geomagnetic Reversal…..why why why include 2012 in the title.
November 19th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
The man also has no idea of the meaning of breeding in this context. The English have word for such characters – a cad.
His appalling attacks on Owain and Paul, and to a lesser extent Stephen, shows he has no breeding. An even better word describes him, he is a boundah. A trifle old fashioned but sums him up.
November 19th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
BTW, ALL 5 artcles contain 2012 in the thier titles. THis article contains words such as Planet X, Niburu, Mayan Prophecy, and
a question:
So do you think there will be a geomagnetic reversal event in 2012 ?
Dear purely scientific minded people, you cannot choose to amputate part of the title, according to your preferences, nor can you hijack the subject….or give it a makeover….its not your article.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Nobody here of a scientific persuasion is trying to hijack, amputate or makeover the article. It HAS been hijacked by those who insist that there is truth in the ridiculous notion that the end of the Mayan calendar is in some way tied in with the so called re-appearance of Planet X/Niburu that will result in a geomagnetic pole reversal.
Now I'm not averse to discussing any or all of these ideas separately but definitely not as one being a consequence of this which leads to another and it's all because some scribe in Sumer said Enki was annoyed with the peoples of the earth and if the great flood didn't make them behave then I'll be back at an indeterminate time in the future and will save Amit, JAT, Espumpin and not forgetting good old Rico, as if we could.

This term is used only in context of Horses and Dogs these days… Was used for humans in victorain era literature.. But man, that was so long ago!
Guess you were also there in Owain's closet, thats why you are so oblivious to civilised vocabulary..
Maybe you need some "training" ….
November 19th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Yeah Rico/Leah,
Even i am not sure why these people hang on, when they are apparently so disgusted by our comments..
We may be Viruses with Shoes, but these guys dont seem to have much spine themselves either!
November 19th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Admiting is the first step to resolving.
Good Show.
November 19th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Rico,.
Since Marcus is so fond of using single words to describe people.. I have one word from him… "Impudent" .
And guess what, there was a great man, a Roman, unfortunately with the same name as our good friend.. He made a quotation, which i would like to present to you with respect to our friend Marcus here –
“When you are outraged by somebody’s impudence, ask yourself at once, Can the world exist without impudent people?” It cannot; so do not ask for impossibilities.”
— Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antonius
November 19th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
Correction in 8:42 Post…
One word FOR him, not FROM him…
November 19th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I am coming to terms with the methodology of these "Scientists" now.. Anything they cannot refute with conviction is classified as "Bull$hit" … And the all the scientists who differ from the views that they support are "lunatics" and "Fraudsters" …..
Closet indeed!
November 19th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Rico,
"When science explains god. You will have your proof of alien intervention."
This was an excellent statement brother! This is the entire case, in a nutshell….
November 19th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Leah,
With respect to thsi post of yours –
Leah Says:
November 19th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Problem is…the title of the article is 2012-No Geomagnetic Reversal.
Mr O'Neill has kindly written several articles, including this one, re 2012, not as general articles about the underlying subject.
Another thing worth mentioning is that all these articles are Filed Under 2012… When you go to the article now, it says at the bottom – "Filed Under 2012", and 2012 is Hyperlinked….
November 19th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
As this spirals downward it points to a sad end.
What happened to the free exchange of ideas?
What does it mater where one is from (don' ask, don't tell) or if they choose to "out" themselves ? (altho that was brave)
Feel free to whine for my expression of ideas but on my planet it is well known you can learn more by listening than talking.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Dear Amit,
Its good to be respectful on the way up, as one never knows who one will meet on the way down.
Its human to fear what isn't understood. Shoot first, ask questions later syndrome.
I hope you and your family are well.
Leah
November 19th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Dear Just a Thought,
Yup…got 2 ears and one mouth, means listen at least twice as much as one speaks.
Hope you are well.
Leah
November 19th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Leah,
Thank you, hope you and yours are well also.
There is much to be learned if we could get past ourselves.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Dear Just a Thought,
Indeed there is…we'll see. We're good, thanks.
Good night, Leah.
November 19th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Right Said Leah,
It was also said the persons who we meet on the way up (Those that we trample), are sure to greet us on our way down too…..
I life i follow the Golden Rule always….
Over here, i just could not tolerate the mountain of insults that this unruly bunch of scientists was piling upon my friend Rico…
I had to reply to them… But as you must have noticed, i have never used any bad words…
November 20th, 2008 at 4:09 am
JAT. Free exchange of ideas is fine. But surely ideas that can be properly substantiated. If not anyone can say I have an idea that pixies are real. Etc etc.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:32 am
PJ
This is true,
they may even say that they have an idea that they know something about me.
UNsubstantiated.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:41 am
Further to the above. There should be absolutely NO stifling of debate on any subject. All I and some of the others of a scientific persuation have asked is that what we refer to as dubious contentions are explored using proven scientific applications and that these dubious contentions are discussed on the appropriate fora whether that is history, archaeology or alien intervention sites.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:46 am
While I have no wish to speak for Marcus I think he used the word breeding not in the context of breeding animals but rather as someone who acts with decorum and is cultured.
Am I and others here crusaders? Yes. Crusading for a rational approach to investigating certain phenomena. But please do not write it as Crusaders. That word has dreadful historical and religious connotations that I personally do not wish to be associated with.
BTW. Paul. Good win last night. Don't fancy our chances against the All Blacks on Saturday.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:56 am
Understood,
I have found that there is much information misunderstood because of the abrasive or condescending manner the info. is presented.
November 20th, 2008 at 4:57 am
I have a picture of Amit, Rico, Espumpin and JAT sat in their attics wearing helmets made from aluminium cooking foil with a little hole in the back for the little pig-tail favoured by Billy Ray Cyrus to poke through.
That will stay in your collective minds every time you see their posts.
Having fun listening to the posts with the computer-generated voice reading them out. The above have the voice of a 6 year old girl and it comes across as though they're in the middle of a tantrum; Paul and Owain as wise sages getting slightly pissed off with students who cannot grasp the concepts being presented to them; Marcus is obviously a retired brigadier and some of the others as naughty schoolboys shouting at the deaf senior masters.
I know it's ultimately a waste of time but it's good fun and is entertaining various colleagues here.
Toodle-loo.
November 20th, 2008 at 6:35 am
kevin–while laughing so hard at others, i truly hope you and your colleagues are having a good "belly roll" over yourselves, as well…at some point in time, even the "master" was a student…and as a student, the questions he posed while learning will become evident when he teaches…a master is not "all knowing and all seeing"…i dare say that even a master can still learn from his students…letters after your name, or certificates on your wall does not mean that you have learned all there is to learn in that particular field…they, too are "dated"…and science has advanced far after the date on that certificate…your thinking AND LEARNING should not end with that date…..
November 20th, 2008 at 6:47 am
…it just means that you are qualified "to date" …. perhaps you should "update" the certificates…
November 20th, 2008 at 7:08 am
one final thought–then that's it for me for today…living and thinking "outside the box" has afforded me (speaking solely for myself) a luxury that those inside the box will never have…there is a HUGE world out there, and it is full of surprises…in these times, i cannot imagine being stuck in a box…
thank you all for your kind indulgence…best wishes to you all…
November 20th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Our research goes on all the time Becky. We never stand still otherwise we end up quoting old and or discredited research and ideas. We, and on a personal level I too, are out of the box thinkers believe it or not [and some here won't think that but what the hell]As was stated above if Amit and co devoted their undoubted talents and natural inquisitiveness to science/archaeology etc that is established or new/cutting edge they would serve everyone much better. They are not stupid people. Their reluctance to see that their pursuit of discredited theories or unprovable theories is a shame.
As for laughing at people we can certainly laugh at ourselves here. Sometimes our laughter has covered our embarrassment.
I'm quite sure however that what I've just said will bring down a heap of abuse. But we can play it through our machines for a laugh. That part REALLY is just innocent fun even if the rest may not be.
November 20th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Marcus, Stephen, Kevin.
Not one of you cyphers have contributed anything of even partial substance to this forum.
If Amit, Leah, myself, Espumpin, or any of the regulars that you're bitching about weren't here. You wouldn't be here either.
You only come here to offer insults and such.
Paul is the only one here that speaks for himself and can defend his ideas.
You morons can't defend your ideas because you have none.
You don't even understand what Paul is saying.
Cyphers and losers. You guys have been wighed and found wanting.
Prove me wrong. Direct us all to an earlier post where Stephen, or Markus, or Owain, or Kevin say anything at all about the subject.
Point out on this thread where any one of you dumb fucks posted anything of substance.
None of you belong here. You have nothing to say.
I can't do this much longer Leah. I find myself posting stupid stuff like this.
We should follow Pauls advice and move. Even Paul won't stay here once we leave.
There will be no one left just a randon straggler once in a while.
Its crap. Its a waste of time.
These guys are a bunch of low life losers. You know the type. They laugh when an old woman slips and falls.
I should have just left when Owain explained his summary of the OT.
Cyphers.
Let me know people.
-R-
November 20th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Kevin what Ideas have you posted?
All I seen from you are opinions on our ideas.
You haven't presented anything.
In fact you actually admit that you're here for fun.
Some people go fishing, some people play ball. You enjoy sitting at your terminal insulting people. Thats fun?
You say "Our research goes on all the time. You're a liar. Speak for yourself.
You people have been spouting velikovsky. Thats old, partially discredited material.
You haven't kept up with archeological discoveries. In fact you personally haven't said anything scientific in here.
Speak for yourself. Owain tried the same tactic using Paul and Paul said he didn't know Owain.
Whos we Kevin?
LOL @ delusions of a scientific team going around the forums spreading the light.
Dude, what can I say? You're not a scientist.
You're a cypher, a nobody. a wannabe.
Enlighten us with your credentials!! Tell us how you studied at MIT or some highly accredited University.
Thats what I thought.
Another ex rugby player that misses his days under the pile of guys.
Unreal,

November 20th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Amit: When we meet aliens face to face or receive unambiguous evidence via SETI or something similar that will not be proof of god.
We as scientists don't refute everything we can't explain as bullshit. Quantum tunnelling defies all logic but we don't call it bullshit because we can't explain it. It happens, it works. Great. There are many similar occurrences that science can't fully explain. Scientists who hold contrary views from each other are definitely not considered or refered to as "lunactics" or "fraudsters". The fraudster refered to was Erich von Daniken who was a convicted fraidster. There are certainly examples of fraudulent practice in science – witness the Korean who claimed to have made advances in cloning techniques, cold fusion [though that wasn't strictly a fraud], Piltdown Man from the 1930's. And there are many more. However once these frauds, mis-directions or plain mistakes are seen to be such they are sidelined and not persued. This is why some of here are persistent in our attempts to point out the futility of putting ones trust in the heirs to the discredited theories put forward by Velikovsky etc.
November 20th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Kevin calls Owain a wise sage !! WTF!!??
Dude, you are a moron.
You should be laughing all the time to cover your embarrasment the way you put it.
Owains only imput in this thread was a joke.
He said that the Old testament was a collection of ancient Israels prophesies.
That can't even be consided an opinion.
He simply showed his ass with that remark. He proved his ignorance.
And you Kevin, by supporting Owain and calling him a sage. Have shown yourself to be a moron.
I'll leave it at that.
-R-
November 20th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Dear Kevin,
Or Kevin Williams ? We have studied archeology…..who do you imagine discovered the Sumerian Ta#lets, the Dead sea Scrolls, and all other artifacts we've mentioned to date….ARCHEOLOGISTS.
We have studied the sciences, E. g. Einstein's work…..obviously, as you consider Archeology a bogus science, so it fallows you consider Theoretical Mathematics and Physics bogus too.
What is bogus, e.g. is every pictiure flaunted of the Milky Way. Here's an opportunity for you to bring yours and your team's complete universal knowlege, which is so superior that you make statements re the employability of anyone on this thread…..to proove what is known as fact re the Milky Way, even if it is only re the pictures.
Absolutely NO conjecture, NO theories, NO suppositions, NO assumptions……..PLEASE.
Keep it to STRICTLY FACTS, that do not and cannot change. Like rain falls from the sky, towards Earth.
November 20th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Owain,
"….know Paul doesn't log in during the week"
Either a lack of attention to detail, or deliberate with a view to baiting others.
Not a question….no reply necessary.
November 20th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
In my rush to post and keep my eye on work I should have said Paul appears to only contribute during the day time and also not at weekends. Quite correct – a lack of attention to detail.
November 20th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Good to se both the BLAH BLAH posts removed.
November 20th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
I understand that Paul, but I think that to discard everything that Velikovsky, Sithchin etc wrote on the subject is premature.
I think it merits more research and we're both aware that the reasearch is ongoing.
I don't want to be a man that thinks all problems could be solved by reference to reavealed wisdom.
I like to think and analyze and see what makes sense.
There are many leading artifacts, painted walls that look like space men in suits, stelae with what appear to be gods in alien pod type of craft. But I don't bring them up as evidence. However when you add them all up you develope a picture.
We see things differently.

November 20th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
I can only go by what Astro Physics has produced in the way of data, to date. Its maintained that the speed of Earth's rotation on its axis, has been slowing down. If true it effects the results of carbon dating.
As a day is 1 rotation of Earth, a 24 hour period is in reality 24 x 15 degrees of rotation. Expressed geometrically, time is not dependant on speed, or size of object rotating. If we had decided to divide our day which is 360 degrees, into 18 hours instead of 24 hours…..each hour would be equal to 20 degress of rotation.
Irrespective of the speed at which Earth rotates, 15 degrees of rotation is peceived as an hour and 360 degrees as a day.
Even if Earth's speed of rotation were to increase drastically, people would convince themselves of such things as….can't be sleeping well, or must be getting old and slow, must be to do with absolutely everything, just not that Earth could be rotating on its axis at an increased speed.
15 or 360 degrees of rotation cannot be measured by a clock. So how long is an hour in reality….however long as it takes to rotate through 15 degrees at a given speed but not limited to any one speed, therefore time is variable as it is relative to speed.
November 21st, 2008 at 3:35 am
Leah. The rotation of the earth and length of the day shouldn't really affect the carbon dating. Carbon dating is basically the proportion of of C14 to normal atmospheric C12. May I suggest a quick google or dip into a physics book for a full explanation.
I'll get back to you about the earth's rotation and length of day and the division of the globe and sky into 15* per hour.
November 21st, 2008 at 7:54 am
Leah.
I happen to be a trained archaeologist who has spent 40 years in the field. E.g. northern France studying the La Tene culture specifically the La Tene III [contributed Stead, late of the British Museum, who established a connection between the La Tene III culture and the inhabitants of N.E. Yorkshire]; studied Near Eastern civilisations of Sumer, Assyria & Catal Huyuk; Mycenae as well as various Palaeolithic sites.
So, Leah, I do not consider archaeology a bogus science which is why I'm bloody furious at people like Rico etc who constantly quote Sumerian creation myths [which are common to EVERY culture] as evidence of alien visitations. Neither do I consider physics, differential geometry, topology or pure mathematics as bogus. I do however consider the theories proposed by Rico and friends for the most part totally bogus. That is the THEORIES not necessarily the people.
I can't believe for one moment you consider the milky way to be bogus because you see only pictures as you put it. What do you mean by that? If it's only a picture it doesn't exist? I'm surprised the astronomers here haven't pick you up on that. No doubt they as well as I would like an explanation for that.
Over to you.
November 21st, 2008 at 8:00 am
To Rico. The voices we employ the computer to read the various posts make Owain sound like a sage. That is because both he and Paul are the only ones here who don't rant and their posts read as considered responses and statements. Concisely written posts as opposed to a disjointed melange of posts submitted by most other respondents = a sage-like quality in comparison.
JAT is given the voice of the Trinoids.
November 21st, 2008 at 8:08 am
I'm not a rugby player.
I don't know Paul, Owain, Marcus or any of the other debunkers of your deluded theories. The "we" I refer to, as have a number of other posters, are those in the scientific community who have looked at evidence you support and found it wanting as it's rubbish. As has been said before you, Amit etc don't appear to be stupid, far from it in fact, it's just the ideas you insist on stuffing down people's throats is stupid.
November 21st, 2008 at 8:15 am
We're just trying to clear you out of a site that's for astronomy/space flight/discoveries in space etc NOT history/religion/archaeology. and certainly not for ludicrous theories about the end of the world becaus ehte poles are going to flip. If you do decide to go it will leave it free for those who have legitimate things to say. If you want to contribute to that sort of debate fine, please stay. Perhaps some others like Paul Owain Stephen etc want you to stay anyway.
November 21st, 2008 at 8:27 am
hi, guys!!! how is everyone today???
kevin, thank you for your nov 20 reply to me…i did detect a note of humility there, and i thank you for that…
however, it is still my thought that "amit and co" are not the "bad guys" here … leah, amit, rico, JAT and espumpin all continue to ask very legitimate questions…and MAKE VERY VALID POINTS…the big one for me is why Mr.O'neil continues to open the door to 2012 in all of his articles… the scientific community here continues to dance around that issue…it is also my thought that if you have no answers, cannot make a connection in any way, or just do not care…it would be advantageous to say just that…."don't know and don't care"….if you don't know–then we have finally reached a common ground (and we are finally all in this boat together) if you don't care–the boat will sail anyway…with or without you…
will now re-reference leah's 11-19 posts made at 11:59am, 12:12pm, 12:25pm, —amit's 11-19 8:58pm post….and all the other still unaddressed questions in between?????? by the way, leah–great point about the 15 degrees of rotation…paul, thank you for taking that under consideration.
okay, scientific community–the ball is in your court–but be nice!!!
November 21st, 2008 at 9:08 am
Personally I'd like to see the back of them. As was said a few days ago having to wade through all the deluded rants of Rico, Amit and co as well as the mind-numbing ramblings that Becky and Leah like to think of as deep philosophical insights to get to anything worthwhile is becoking a task akin to anything that Gilgamesh undertook.
What for the love of sanity was all that stuff about the earth's rotation and even if Earth's speed of rotation were to increase drastically, people would convince themselves of such things as….can't be sleeping well, or must be getting old and slow, must be to do with absolutely everything, just not that Earth could be rotating on its axis at an increased speed.
15 or 360 degrees of rotation cannot be measured by a clock. So how long is an hour in reality….however long as it takes to rotate through 15 degrees at a given speed but not limited to any one speed, therefore time is variable as it is relative to speed.
All over the place – it doesn't make any sense.
DITTO this extract.
the stone was carved / worked upon. There is no tech that can tell when the carving was done…..just can't be older than the stone itself……but wait……minerals grow, so one needs to calculate the age of the stone in the quarry etc…..as the age of a quarried piece of stone is not indicative of the age of the entire quarry location.
Even then, one can not carbon date etc, when the stone was quarried.
Of course the age of the quarried stone is indicative of the entire quarry location. Your assertion that crystals grow thus altering the age is ludicrous. You obviously have no idea of geology, mineralogy etc. If you don't know then ask. By asking you will learn and not make howlers such as this. You said at some point you don't sleep and hadn't slept for 40 hours. That probably accounts for some of the more far-out posts you've submitted. Go bother one of the many blogs that love mindless, aimless meandering thoughts. I suggest a crystal powers, crystal gazing site. And take Becky along as well. Another with a mind so open it could be the Canadian tundra – bare an dfeatureless.
Blithering idiots the lot of you.

November 21st, 2008 at 10:48 am
Dear Kevin,
Thanks for making your view in the sciences clear. In no poat did I write…." if its only a picture it doesb't exist"…..please re-read the post., I didn't even use the word EXIST in relation to pictures of the Milky Way.
I'm interested in what you glean from all the archeological artefacts, including the Sumerian Ta#lets, as to what they are conveying.
To Gordy,
2012 leads in the title….therefore the article is 2012 specific in relation to Geomagnetic reversal. You could write to Mr O'Neill and ask, in what context he wrote, and intended the article to be read.
How many years have you spent in the Geological, Minerological and Gemmological field ?
How can you tell from a clock, or sundial for that matter, at what actual speed the 15 or 360 degrees was travelled at ? Not an assumed speed from a textbook ?
BTW, it is not for any one to decide who can write, or who must go. Naturally, opinions are like backsides, everyone's got one, which includes every one on this blog too.
Further, you do not have to "wade through" any posts written by anyone, you are free to choose…..so why are you complaining about something you chose to do. So, skip my posts, or is it curiosity.
If you don't understand the content of a post, it does not mean that others don't, and its not for you to try and convince them of such. Its a human failing to tear down what they don't understand.
Attention to detail I would have thought, is of tantamount importance, particularly in any of the sciences. Re not sleeping for 40 hours, I even gave the reason.
November 21st, 2008 at 11:16 am
Carbon dating… dating of Carbonaceous material.
Too many assumed constants, to be accurate.
November 21st, 2008 at 11:53 am
Worth reading…. http://www.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/19nov_cosmicrays.htm
November 21st, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Gordy. That was harsh and not really called for.
Saw the cosmic ray article a couple of days ago. Quite interesting especially if it can be proved that they originate from the possible decay or interaction of dark matter.
November 21st, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Dear Owain,
Physicist…Hui Chen and the work re Dark matter etc…..relevant to the Nasa article.
Be well, Leah
November 21st, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Becky. You say Amit & co. make valid points. Like where? All I see is a constant repetition of discredited theories or theories that are not or cannot be substantiated. It makes for boring reading and I see why some stay here to argue the toss. They explain why the theories are wrong and all they get in return is an even louder rant. One can hardly blame them for getting angry. The abuse from some is a bit much though.
November 21st, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Gordy. Right on the money my man. Hippy-drippy meandering gobbledegook. No sense, no reason just a string of meaningless phrases that have little or connection to the main thrust of the thread or article. No doubt in their own tight, little world that they inhabit they feel they are the founts of wisdom.
From Leah: An ancient text that quotes someone living to be say 1000 years old, would really be stating, 1000 complete orbits of the Sun. Without knowing the speeds of those orbits, we don't know how much of our time that 1000 years is relative to, within our present frame of reference of 24 hours=1 day, and 365.25 days = 1 year.
What do you mean we don't know how much of our time that 1000 years is relative to, within our present frame of reference…..
That make absolutely no sense at all. For one thing the orbits have remained the same since the solar system was formed.
By a book on astronomy and learn something before making statements like this. They are completely meaningless.
At least some of the questions you ask that have been answered by Paul are valid unlike Becky who obviously just writes down the first set of words that cross her mind.
Jesus!

I guess not.
I'll look again tomorrow. I'm gonna watch Dave with Eddie Murphy.

November 21st, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Dear Skywatcher,
Am more than happy to accept as fact, that our orbit around the sun has been constant since the formation of the solar system, if absolute proof is furnished. How do you propose to proove this as fact, or did you base your comment on assumed data ?
November 21st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
@ Kevin,
We're just trying to clear you out of a site that's for astronomy/space flight/discoveries in space etc NOT history/religion/archaeology. and certainly not for ludicrous theories about the end of the world becaus ehte poles are going to flip.
I have a quick qestion, what does 2012 have to do with astronomy/archeologyspace?
The date is indicative of the 2012 of the maya in fact it states this in the subject matter above. If this site in fact was designed to draw only dicussion on the subjects that you suggest it would have never employed the 2012 date in the title. On the contrary. It is specifically designed to draw us here.
Thats my opinion.

Science books do not equal wisdom. In other words, all forms of scientific text no matter how eloquently stated, cannot actually grant wisdom to the reader, merely through the act of reading. Words are only the representations of things, but not the things themselves. All of the most widely followed scienses texts from the Astro, the Bio, the mathematics, the sayings of Newton and the practices of Enistein, are but written attempts to convey various authors’ conceptions. Each attempts to convey the same essence, speaking of the underlying Truth through differing means. Each is a path, and all paths lead ultimately to God/Truth. Yet regardless of how well each system or person may or may not describe Truth, their essential value to the reader is only as great as ones’ personal investment in Spiritual/Scientific Facts. It is our personal experience, application and intention toward greater wisdom, that allows us to progress, regardless of what we have read. Therefore it is not the reading about Thermo dynamics nor even the most advanced Scientific studies, which provide insight into life.

G.D.J., I agree with you 100%.
The thing is, if you take a scientic look at the Bible, the Vedas, the Koran, and other cultures religious scriptures we get a picture.
This what I've been saying all along. All of the ancient scriptures from different cultures sometimes thousands of miles apart describe basically the same feats by these beings.
If you only study the relgious aspect or if you only study the scientific aspect you don't get far. You get stuck with dogma from either one.
But if you study both, it presents a clearer picture.
Science + Religion = Answers.

All the ancient writings describe flying vehicles with beings at the controls. Sometimes even in aerial battles.
Now I understand that these wriings have been around before cars.
Some scholars today agree that they seem to represent superior technology in some way.
It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the pattern left world wide.
I just say it cannot be dismissed just like that
beacause it doesn't comform to reavealed wisdom.
Kevin I'm going to be honest with you. I don't care what you think about whose post in here satisfies you. Especially as I consider you a poor judge of character referring to Owain as a sage and saying he's been posting anything of substance.
I'm not here to saisfy you dude. Get a girl.
If you know what I post then just skip my part of thread, don't read it Its not mandatory.
As I said before, when science explains the existance of God, you'll have your ancient astronaut evidence.
Science isn't in a rush, why should I or you be? Wait for it.

What about the alignment of our Sun, Earth, and the Milky Way, will it not cause this geomagnetic reversal? They have predicted this will happen in 2012.
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:53 am
Richie.
The sun, earth and milky way are ALWAYS in alignment. We are are two thirds of the way out from the galactic centre which is in the direction of the constellation of Sagittarius and marked on maps of the milky way as Sag A*. Rest assured, the geomagnetic poles will NOT reverse in 2012. Please do not be taken in by the garbage that certain postings have contained. They are not scientists much less astronomers.
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:15 am
you have the WorldWideWeb at your fingertips, richie–read everything you can and make up your own mind…
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:41 am
And we all know how much rubbish finds it's way onto the net. If you do search the web look for accredited sites. For every proper astronomical or university site there is there are at least ten full of the terrified rambling as posted by Amit, Rico, Espumpin etc. You can make up your own mind after you've looked at various sites.
November 23rd, 2008 at 7:53 am
Science +religion does not equal answers you fool.
Science plus investigation gives answers.
Science +religion gives the bollocks you spout Rico.
GDJ. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. The authors you cite are NOT merely giving us their impressions they are giving us the results of investigations, tests and experiments. Answers that totally devoid of personal bias. Where do you people come from?? Leave your computers alone and turn them off you are a drag on electricity and other vital resources.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:08 am
GDJ. At least I'm a professionally trained astronomer so my saying buy an astronomy book is valid you oaf.
Some of the lunatics who post here appear to have no interest in science and certainly are not qualified to comment on serious scientific debates. I'm surprised the scientists here haven't given them a proper verbal thumping. Still it's very difficult to think down to the level of the alien interventionists and the drippy trippers who pester this thread.

November 23rd, 2008 at 9:40 am
Skywatcher, Wow I can see you came up with such a good name for a "scientists".
Any real scientists wouldn't even waste their time on a site like this, your only scared & worried like the rest of us.
At least most of the "RANTINGS" deal with real life & not trying to put on another on some sort of pedestal.
What kinda scientists bash others ideas?
scientists are suppose to be team players here you have made ppl choose sides. Is N.A.S.A after the Catholic church?
If you are the examples of "scientists " then its no wonder the worlds about to break down.
Here this is from Webesters : Historically, "natural philosophers" or "men of science"[3][4][5][6]; they were men of knowledge. Science and philosophy were roughly synonymous. William Whewell coined the term scientist in 1833 to describe an expert in the study of nature, but this term did not gain wide acceptance until the turn of the 20th century.[7][8] By the twentieth century, the modern notion of science as a special brand of information about the world, practiced by a distinct group and pursued through a unique method, was essentially in place.
What you & everyone else here is an amature cryptozooloigist hoping 2012 is no bigger than Y2K.
Get off your high horse if any one here is smarter than Raven prove it, Where do you work? She gave something to think about What have any of you written.
NOTHING you just want to bash ppl on this site, because A) you have noone else to talk to…or B) you feel inferior cuz you can't add to the subject. okay kids lets go back to class now. lolololo
DonT FigHt ThE MadDnESs…..
G.D.J
It'll only hurt if you do……………….
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:19 am
GDJ.
Ideas get bashed when they're so obviously false. Raven smart?? Have you actually read what Raven said? The thing we're really afraid of is that the bollocks spouted by Amit, Rico etc is that while it certainly won't gain any wide-spread currency within the wide science community it has undue influence on the book-reading public. Luckily most won't have any truck wit it but it has to be challenged at every opportunity. That is why some scientists, yes REAL scientists who do real scientific work, come here to do the challenging. We will pursue false claims wherever we hear of them. Make no mistake about that
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:16 am
E=mc2, 1905 Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, that mass and energy are equivalent.
Finally, all scientists will be able to believe the theory, as after over 100 years, the theory has been corroberated by French, German and Hungarian physicists.
Was Einstein and his theory acceptable, and taken seriously because of the letters after his name ? Yes. Had he not had qualifications (permission to study and understand) his theory would not have been taken seriously until a much later point in time, and someone else with letters after their name would have laid claim to the theory.
Whenever a new theory / possibility is proposed, the first question is "Are you qualified", wrather than "What is it".
Knowlege and study do not live exclusively in Universities, nor does anyone need permission from anybody to learn.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity was on the verge of discovery in 1905 and indeed should have been 'discovered' around 20 years earlier. Plank and de Sitter had it in their equations but because it flew in the face of Newton they didn't follow through. Lorenz and Searle, I think also conjectured along similar lines. In 1905 Einstein wasn't a famous scientist and worked as postal clerk.
Knowledge and study do not reside in universities but I'd rather have a qualified person examine me than someone who "what is it"? and delve in.
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:33 pm
QED. Because it flew in the face of Newton, they didn't follow through……not because the math was wrong, probably due to fear of peer opinion.
Check out where and when Einstein got his degrees. PATENT clerk to earn a living at the time, and lack of fame…..has nothing to do with it….he graduated in 1900 from ETH with a degree in Physics.
Qualification is not proof re the depth of understanding or ability to utilise said knowlege…….it prooves attendance, and the ability to pass exams on the day. Proof comes with putting the knowlege into action.
November 23rd, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Skywatcher has written as WE, ( a representative of all scientists ?), and has stated their qualification, being an Astronomer that considers others here "not qualified to comment", BUT considers THEMSELVES qualified to comment on subjects other than Astronomy.
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Seriously Ladies,
I don't mind when you bash my ideas. What upsets me is that you guys take advantage of this forum to say things that you wouldn't say to any of us in real life. I know for a fact that Gordo wouldn't call me a fool to my face. But he takes advantage of this and he gets his kicks. I hope calling me a fool allowed him to have an orgasm.
This is how you guys admittedly get your kicks. You call it by another name, you say its something like defending science whereever you encounter stupid theories or whatever but its the same hypocrytical bullshit.
I really don't know where you guys are from. Some from the UK I imagine and some Welsh, whatever. Where I live we're allowed and encouraged to believe what we want.
Different upbringing I guess. in America, most of us are of "poor breeding" so to speak. But we say what we want' and we don't believe that anyone has the right to call you name for it.
Is that the way it is over there? You guys call each other stupid like that? You get smacked in the face here for calling someone stupid. You wouldn't do it again I tell you that. Unless its a friend and you're joking around.
Diffrent cultures I guess.
It's a matter of respect. It's hard to teach older people respect, they should've started them young.
I could talk all I want in the street and not one of you would call me a fool to my face.
Its cool though really. We all have something.
I'll just keep poking my head in every now and then just to watch and maybe post some shit.
Its all good ladies. Its all good.

November 23rd, 2008 at 4:50 pm
rico–these guys are so self-absorbed, self-centered, and self righteous, that they can't even tell anymore when someone is just plain messing with them…if these guys are true scientists, then they are the poorest representatives/messengers of their fields that i have even had the misfortune of encountering…
…but as you said–it's all good!!!
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
For the scientists….the work and findings of Professor Igor Kopylov of the Moscow Energy Insitute, and maybe the IERS is worth a look too.
November 23rd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
If an Astronomer / Cosmologist says that something sizable collided with Earth, its acceptable……but unacceptable from anyone else.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Hey Friends!!!
Hope your weekend was Good…….
Becky, I am so amazed at the greart vocabulary of insulting words that these people possess.. They have managed to piss off even you and Leah!
I think they research such words "Scientifically". Their degrees should read "Master of Insults" , "Doctorate in Arrogance"… with some additional certificates in Pompousness…
This new bunch of Kevin, Owain, Skywatcher, Gordy etc.. I am gladly excluding Paul from this brady bunch because he atleast cares to answer some of the questions, and has desisted from using bad words for a long time…..
Rico/Leah,
I dont think there is any point in arguing with them.. They think that they are going in a one way lane, and the others are not entitled to travel in the opposite direction. They choose to ignore the valid questions so conveniently. And when we have to repeat the questions, they say that we are just repeating the same old story.. What the Hell !!! Its absolutely maddening…
They are a disgrace to Science.. Science is all about Open Mindedness and Experimentation. Its not about being in your closets… They say that their qualifications and experience makes them experts on these matters.. WRONG!!! It gives them "Thick headedness" and makes them closed to new ideas….. Rico, you put it right by saying Religion+Science = Answers… But one of these jerks contradicted you… Kevin keeps saying we should devote our "talents" towards the support of "their" views.. Thanks but No Thanks! We are not bound by your narrow mindedness and we are open to research whatever we want… And no matter how much effort you put into "Clearing us out of this site", we wont budge…. Becky has a fair idea about the place where these people come from.. And thats where they belong.
November 23rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
As for "Breeding" , i know the context in which was used very well.. I just indicated that this word does not go down well anymore..
About teh speed of rotation, Leah had a good point..
It has bee proved and accpeted by NASA as well that the speed of Earth's Rotation is slowing down constantly. Howeer, its not so considerable as to effect out daily lives.. There is hardly any difference between Now Minus 1000 Years or Now + 1000 Years.. But over a longer period of time it does make a difference, especially in Carbon Dating.. Because we co-relate that with our "Years" and "Days", which are based on this rotation… As simple as that…
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I'm a scientists also, my feild of research is embryonic stem cell research.
I have a P.H.D.
does that give me the right to quench others ideas or beliefs.
Nor should I have to flaunt my crenditals to gain your approval. If you are a Scholar, as you say, how can you justify name calling.
I'm sure your professors' would be ashamed to have called you a student.
The relationship between belief and knowledge is subtle. As I was trying to explain before.
Believers in a claim typically say that they know that claim. You believe in science others in God.
For instance, those who believe that the Sun is a god will report that they know that the Sun is a god.
Those who believe the Sun is a good source of Photovoltaic energy, will try to harness that energy.
However, the terms belief and knowledge are used differently by philosophers but it doesn't make one right or one wrong. Philosophy has traditionally defined knowledge as justified true belief.
The relationship between belief and knowledge is that a belief is knowledge if the belief is true, and if the believer has a justification (reasonable and necessarily plausible assertions/evidence/guidance) for believing it is true.
So my fellow "scientists" you better pray to the "Gods" you don't believe that they are not real.
Cuz it seems to me that many here have excepted the sun, the fact thats its not a god & that we can use solar panels.
You still can't broaden your mind past the fact that I said "that the Sun is a god". & intill you get over the fact that we must agree to disagree Then I will pray for you.
I would suggest reading Elsevier, the world’s leading publisher of science and health information.
We get it free at my job, and when you google that, you'll see my initials (i'm sure I spelled that wrong) as well as my colleague Raven.
So becareful what you say about who is monitoring what.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Science books do not equal wisdom. In other words, all forms of scientific text no matter how eloquently stated, cannot actually grant wisdom to the reader, merely through the act of reading. Words are only the representations of things, but not the things themselves. All of the most widely followed scienses texts from the Astro, the Bio, the mathematics, the sayings of Newton and the practices of Enistein, are but written attempts to convey various authors’ conceptions. Each attempts to convey the same essence, speaking of the underlying Truth through differing means. Each is a path, and all paths lead ultimately to God/Truth. Yet regardless of how well each system or person may or may not describe Truth, their essential value to the reader is only as great as ones’ personal investment in Spiritual/Scientific Facts. It is our personal experience, application and intention toward greater wisdom, that allows us to progress, regardless of what we have read. Therefore it is not the reading about Thermo dynamics nor even the most advanced Scientific studies, which provide insight into life.
& one more time………………

OK, i will try to put simple questions one by one… And we will not proceed further until the issue on hand is discussed completely, to the satisaction of all involved.
Ground Rule – No Name Calling…
Question –
Does anyone here object to the point that "Mayans had highly advanced astronomical knowledge, and that was without the possession of the sophisticated equipment that we have at our disposal these days" ???
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I agree.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
What really creeps me is how acurate they were. Even our modern computers are + or- afew points here or there, they were good $ from thousands of years back.
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Very Well Said GDJ….
And you used Sun as a very Good Example. I would like to add to it though.
Suppose you come across people who you do not expect to understand the functions of the Sun in a scientific manner, but you want to explain its benefits to them , how would you go about that??? God……… isn't it??
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Yeah, but, its hard to explain. Once knowledge is upon you……its like trying to forget something you already know. Trying to explain to someone about something which cannot be explained. Even without trying to get into the phyics of the sun or the functions…personally I wouldn't know where to start, but I get your point. & I thank you for understanding mine
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:48 pm
You know what freaks me out? How can a culutre like the mayans not have catapulates or telescopes. Yet they excelled at math & astronomy. Who taught the Mayans? & why were their teachings not pasted down?
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
*pasted
*passed
November 23rd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Yes GDJ, their accuracy is amazing.. Not only Earth and Moon, they had a fair idea about venus and some other planets as well!
I am awaiting response from the "real" Scientists!!
And the questions you put about Mayans, thats what Rico and myself are very keen upon getting answers! Perhaps, our "Scientist" friends have some idea,… And i can imagine why there teachings were not passed down. There must be many Skywatchers, Gordys, Owains and Kevins at that time to call them names and discard their theories…
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:05 pm
LOL.
, That was funny. Funny how all of us are brought together here to discuss something none of us could figure out alone.
Even if we could put aside or different views to come up with an answer, would that make us right? We wouldn't know if the world was going bloohey today, 2012 or tomorrow.

November 23rd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I agree, i've always ben the type that wanted to stick my nose out there. I got into my feild of research to "unlock the mysteries of life" & trust me you we still have no idea what gives the spark of life. Stem Cells are controversial because "they" believe we are playing god, when I can only humbly say, how eles can I help my fellow man? The experience of finding out for myself is what has always driven me.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Dear GDJ,
It takes team work, for sure……many heads being better than one.
We have drawn you to our attention by our posts. Appologies…..time is short.
Be well, Leah
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Dear Amit,
I can't possibly comment on what equiptment the Mayans had or didn't have, as with the passing of time, decay removes much, and is not evident. The Mayans, as other civilisations, had knowlege, for certain….and understanding which very few have today.

Agreed that the Maya were exceptionally talented and detailed observers of the motions of the stars. However like the Sumerians, Egyptians their efforts were almost exclusively for astrological/religious purposes and in the pursuit of science.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:25 am
To GDJ.
I personally think that stem cell research is an area of science that will bring HUGE benefits for mankind. I wish you and your colleagues all success.
November 24th, 2008 at 4:45 am
If a layman says something collided with the earth he should say how and why he came to that conclusion. When astromoners say something collided with the earth we do so from modelling, theories about the distribution of minerals, elements etc found in earth and moon rocks. We don't say categorically that it happened 4 billion years ago just that the weight of evidence heavily suggests it..
PhD in astronomy; worked at Siding Springs and, Rico, I'm an Australian you bludger and I would definitely call you a fool to your face if was lucky enough to meet you in the street.
November 24th, 2008 at 5:43 am
Hey Owain. Bloody Kiwis eh? Nearly. Hope it's not going to be another 55 years. Let's hope we can better the Wallabies next week though the way they rolled over the English it doesn't bode well.
Getting a bit hectic here don't you think? Looks like the scientific militant wing has ridden into town.
November 24th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Be back later to give a few responses.
Rico. You say I should get a girl, well I don't think my wife would aprove liberal though she is.
As archaeologists we DO welcome amateur contrbutions but only on excavations. If they wish to contribute to the current body of knowledge we ask them to go via the academic route. Would you agree with that?? Surely that is only fair otherwise literally anyone can crowbar their own feelings, assumptions and theories into the argument.
Back to work.
November 24th, 2008 at 6:41 am

GDJ–thank you again, and God bless you for what you do…

November 24th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Leah.
The speeds of the planets around the sun or indeed any star is governed and explained by Keplers Three Laws of Motion. It is one of the immutable Laws of science. Basically it means that the speed of revolution around the primary is dependent of distance. The further out the longer it takes. As every orbit is an ellipse the planet moves through a given distance or area at the same speed. E.g. at its far point it moves slowly and covers a small distance yet when close to the sun [perhelion] is covers EXACTLY the same amount of distance quicker. That is right off the top of my head but again if you Google Kepler you'll get all the formulae as well.
Rotation around the axes of a planet is different as it's not fixed in perpetuity. The growth rings on ancient corals shell-fish all point to the earth having a far greater rate of rotation than it does now. Around 3 billion years ago the earth day was something like 12 hours. 1 billion years ago 18 hours or so. The cause is down to the drag the moon has as it raises both sea AND land tides that act as a brake. If we had a smaller moon the effects would be less.
Should anything slam into the earth that's big enough to stop it's spin the earth would be destroyed. Life would cease and the planet quite like would break up. It would however reform into a globe and carry on around the sun.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:11 am

Science + religion = ZERO
I can't think of one scientist of whatever faith,[and there are many, many who are deeply religious] who tries to mix the two.
One of the best British particle physicists, John Polkinghorne, is perfectly able to hold a deep religous position while being a theorist. In fact he is an ordained Anglican vicar.I believe he has said in interview that the universe came into existence and God afterwards. No conflict.
November 24th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Dear Paul,
Thanks. Now that you've explained that the length of a day is variable and therefore so is time, it should be acceptable to the other scientists. I'm aware of Keplers laws.
Re carbon dating….changing temperatures, atmospherics etc etc all have an effect on rate of decay. With data incoming everyday from many fields of science, I imagine less assumed constants will be necessary, and the results produced will improve in accuracy.
Be well, Leah
November 24th, 2008 at 11:49 am
The Giant Impact Hypothesis, considered by science, is the same as the Summerian Creation Myth, amongst others. Science has borrowed the name Theia from an ancient Greek Creation Myth, as the name for the hypothetical planet, Tiamat in the Summerian Ta#lets.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Leah,
Working late and caught this just as I was leaving.
These two ideas are not the same. The giant impact that caused the formation of the Moon happened around 4 billion years ago. The earth was already formed and had a solid crust. No atmosphere as such and certainly no oceans. The Sumerians or any other people could not have know even with the science they had at their disposal. Even if you allow for alien contact and aliens telling the Sumerians all sorts of stuff the formation of the Moon is considered to be a fairly rare though not unique event. The satellites of other planets in the solar system formed in completely different ways. The orbits of practically all the others lie in the plane of the planets' equators and are not inclined as much as Luna. This inclination points very, very strongly to a glancing impact. The other moons coalesced from the proto solar disc hence their orbits in the same plane.
November 24th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Do we accept scientific research, that says Solar Temperatures are gradually increasing, as is the luminosity of the Sun ?
What effect has the increase in temperature had on the Sun's gravity ?
November 24th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Dear Paul,
I get your point….no problem. My point was that ancient hypothisis is called hogwash, but when modern day scientists contemplate same or similar, its acceptable.
Be well, Leah

Einstein was an atheist or at least a non-believer in the Abrahamaic gods. When he said God does not play dice with the universe he wasn't referring to a prime mover.
November 24th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Re Paul's kind post of 6.44am.
3 billion years ago a day was half as long as it is today. The 360 degrees of rotation having been covered in 12 hours wrather than 24 hours, each 15 degrees being half an hour.
Dear Kevin,
The acedemic route is not the only route. It is prefered in order to screen out or include ideas, according to preference.
You are an Archeologist, and if you believe in the rules re freedom of speech and expression of ideas, that you want to impose on others, I fail to see your right to comment on 2012, or Geomagnetic Reversal….unless what your are proposing is that ONLY those with letters after their name are permitted the luxury of free speech and expression of ideas.
No one is using a crow bar….you have total freedom to believe in whatever stacks up and makes sense to you…..but you do not have the right to impose your belief on others. I can assure you, I for one have no intention of imposing my beliefs on anyone….which is why I keep my beliefs to myself.
November 24th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Just because someone's deluded theories make sense to them or their barmy followers doesn't make it RIGHT!!!
Only those with academic training or at the very least some learning or knowledge of the subject have the right to make pronouncements on matters of science, history, geology, archaeology, anthropology etc etc if they wish to be taken seriously. Making noises about alien intervention or the passing on of advanced knowledge or any of the other garbage uttered here is bound to be ridiculed if the claims cannot be backed up with identifiable, testable evidence .
November 24th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Dear Kevin,
What are your findings and evidence re a geomagnetic shift ?
November 24th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
GDJ, I hope that with Obama as President of the USA stem cell research will be amplified in America.
This damned Bush retard set us back about 20 years.
Gordy, if you try to sell me the idea that the Sun, moon and stars are the cause for the origin of religion on earth then you are the fool.
You need to look for the origin of religion and study the concept of god in that origin. If you do this with a scientific approach. You will find ancient astronauts. That is the meaning of Science + Religion = Answers. And believe me, in real life, you wouldn't call me a fool to my face. I'm sure you're not stupid.
If you couldn't analyze that simple statement what does that make you? Oh yeah!! A scientist!!
Kevin, I don't care if it's your GF or first wife or second wife or even your sister. Ask them to satisfy you. I'm don't post here for your satisfaction. If you don't like what I post, bang your head on the wall. Or you can continue calling me names. It don't matter. Whatever makes you feel good.
We were seeded. It wasn't a zillion year evolution. If it were man would be as the animals. He would live amongst nature and use it. Man destroys nature to better accomodate himself. We are not natural. We may have been once natural but not anymore. We were changed. This stuff is written long before Eienstein.
Its fairly simple though. You guys choose to only acccept revealed wisdom.
You can't speculate. therefore you can't actually have any theories. This must frustrate the hell out of you guys.
Its cool man, here, take it out on me, I give you all my permission.
I feel sorry for you guys.

"Just because someone's deluded theories make sense to them or their barmy followers doesn't make it RIGHT!!!"
…NOR DOES IT MAKE THEM WRONG!!!!!!
why not discredit the theory insted of those presenting it?????

As chance would have it, Dr Hartman was on TV tonight, along with Dr Canup who developed a computer model for Dr Hartman, showing that Theia had a Glancing impact with Earth. The debris from both Earth and Theia then formed the Moon….Luna.
Summerian Ta#lets may seem like myth, but the people of that time had the same hypothesis.
The programme also addressed a year having a far greater number of days than 365, due to a greater rate of rotation, and a day having been as short as 6 hours.
November 24th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Dear Leah,
You have certainly made very good connections between so called "Mythology" and "Scientific Beliefs"… Referring to Theia/Tiamat…
But i'm sure its time for Dr. Hartman to have his credentials in doubt and a lot of mud slinging on him by the "Real" Scientists here!
November 24th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Hi Paul,
If i read it right, you accepted the fact that the Mayans had highly adbanced astronomical knowledge. Be it for whatever reason.
But one question here, how according to you, they were able to make these complicated observations/calculations without the sophisticated equipment that we possess today??
Please answer this question for me…
And Paul, Thanks…….. For being so patient and forthcoming.. This is really appreciated.
November 24th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Hey Becky!
You gave a fitting response to Kevin…
You dont have to prove that you right… Others have to prove you wrong…
And like GDJ said – "i've always been the type that wanted to stick my nose out there"
Guess we are all like that. There is nothing to prove us right or wrong. We just have this thirst for knowledge which finds its own wells through which to be quenched. And we are all are entitled to our own views/beliefs….
November 24th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Dear GDJ,
I was about to post that quote by Einstein, but you did just that!!
And i agree with paul about Stem Cell research, its the next big thing and will do wonders for mankind. Wish you all the very best in the work you are doing…
BTW, if you want a Good Astro site, this one is as good as any. I keep checking the Home Page from time to time…. They come up with wonderful articles, and some of the pictures from outer space are just brilliant!
November 24th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Kevin,
Please show some "identifiable and testable" evidence to support your views…
But wait, your views here so far pertain only to painting Pen Pictures of other people around here…
If you have any other views apart from these childish jibes of yours, you are most welcome to share them with us.. But please dont forget the "identifiable and testable" evidence…
November 24th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Dear Amit,
Dr Hartman's theory encompasses the research of other scientists too……especially some at NASA. In modern times, as in Sumerian times, its still the most viable hypothysis.
What happens down line, that makes humans so very much "the odd life form out " on Earth, is something we are yet to cross reference with ancient hypothesis, or discover anew.
Be good to yourself, as always,
Leah
November 24th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Dear Amit,
I seem to be missing a GDJ post that you refer to at 8.12 pm
What was the quote ?
Leah
November 24th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Dear Leah,
Thanks for the info about Dr. Hartman.. Although i have come across his name many times, i dont know much about his work, But i'll be sure to find out more..
But since you used his name towards the support of our views, i'm sure these people will try to discredit his name…
About GDJ's post,
Gordy said
"Science + religion = ZERO
I can't think of one scientist of whatever faith,[and there are many, many who are deeply religious] who tries to mix the two."
In response to this, GDj posted a quotation by Einstein – ""Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
November 24th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Whats the hypothesis about how this became a water planet? Ice crystals from comets or something like that brought the water?
I seriously don't know but I thought that I heard something to that effect.
If any of the scientist would be kind enough to enlighten me as to what science hypothesises caused all the water on this planet. Bear in mind that its a 75% water planet.
-R-
November 24th, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Approx 70% surface area covered by water to varying depths.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Isn't it strange that Water did not originate on this planet, yet it covers 70% of the surface. And it even costitutes 70% of the Human Body!!
Just a Thought…
November 24th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Doesn't this lead one to speculate that since water is so vital for Human Life, it could be possibly a "carrier' of Life as well.. Implanting Life on Earth from elsewhere in the Universe??
I have a bit of information on the Hydration of Earth, The planetary picture that is emerging is that Earth was formed with very little water, or no water at all. The hydration of Earth came from comets and some hydrous asteroids. These sources are the Kuiper belt out past Neptune and the Oort cloud on the edges of our solar system.
Water is thought to have been first delivered here over 4 billion years ago involving an intense bombardment of the inner solar system. One such attack is known as the lunar cataclysm, a period of celestial assault when the moon became most heavily pock-marked. The Earth received 13 – 500 times more ‘hits’ and having a greater critical mass was also able to hold much the water (ice); whereas the moon lost most of its frozen water to the emptiness of space. Tantalizing speculation is that some of these comets may have incubated in the Jovian sub-nebula in the space around the gas planets of Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter. Out there some of their chemistry altered to become enriched with the six noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon) and form the different types of water that makes life on Earth possible, such as heavy water and regular light water we live with.
I am just posting what i have read… Doesn't mean i believe it though.
Rico, I am just curious about why you raised thsi point……
November 25th, 2008 at 1:40 am
Leah
The sun's gravity will remain constant throughout it's life. Even as
its size increases through the red giant stage and through to the
white dwarf end it will retain virtually the same mass. There is a
very small mass loss during the red giant phase when the outer
envelope puffs off but it is not significant. A star's mass is
virtually fixed from the moment it's born. Again they lose some
during what is called the T-Tauri stage just after it has 'switched
on' and the very largest stars lose mass through the stellar winds
phase.
Temperature increase has no effect on gravity.
The sun's temperature is increasing, slightly, and was 30% cooler
around 800 million years ago. At present the temperature is steady
but will start to increase in around 500 million years time. By
around 1000M-1200M years from now the sun will be orange in colour
and beginning to swell. Life will be virtually untenable here. By
1500M – 2000M years from now the sun will be a red giant and swollen
to the extent that Mercury will start to become semi fluid. 5000M
years from now Venus will be swallowed and it's possible that the
earth may be in the outer fringes of the the sun's atmosphere.
We accept this as a scientific truth because the physics, which is
fairly simple, points that way and because we see stars at every
point in their evolution in the sky. Their chemical make up can be
determined by spectroscopic analysis.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe put forward the idea that the earth was seeded with life along with water during the cometary bombardment 4.5 billion years ago. It was contraversial at the time and still has huge hurdles to over come to be accepted. The main objection is that how any life/proto-life could have survived the impact, shock and extreme heat. There is no ojection anywhere within the astronomical community that complex organic molecules exist in outer space. There are even scientists who are refered to as astro-biologists or exo-biologists. A trifle premature in my view though.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:47 am
Amit. Why don't you believe it?
November 25th, 2008 at 2:24 am
Paul,
It sounds believable, but i have not read enough about it to form a certain opinion.
There are doubts over this theory. If Hale-Bopp is a typical comet, and if comets indeed gave Earth its water supply billions of years ago, then the oceans should have roughly the same amount of deuterium as comets. In fact, the oceans have significantly less.
While i say this, its also possible that not all comets have their composition like Hale-Bopp….. And NASA observations of the comet, designated C/1999 S4 LINEAR (LINEAR), also support the idea that comet impacts furnished a significant amount of the organic molecules used in life that later arose on Earth.
Do you have anything to clarify my confusion??
November 25th, 2008 at 2:26 am
Is it because LINEAR is believed to be from Oort Cloud??
November 25th, 2008 at 2:30 am
Paul,
Just a curious question… Please do not think that i'm grilling you. A geniune question out of uriousity.
You said – "There is no ojection anywhere within the astronomical community that complex organic molecules exist in outer space."
Whats the reason for this certainty?? As far as i know, there is no proof till date….
And there is another question of mine which you did not answer…
In continuation to my earlier question about the Mayans.. I will repeat for your sake.
How according to you, they were able to make these complicated observations/calculations without the sophisticated equipment that we possess today??
November 25th, 2008 at 3:42 am
The complex molecules are detected using radio astronomy dishes. As the molecules rotate, absorb or emit light they give out signatures that are detected by tghese scopes. The readings are than compared with the the spectral signatures of the same molecules in the lab.
As to the Maya I'm still reading that up. The simple answer is that as the night sky was so important to ancient societies much time and effort was put into tracing the paths of the five known planets and major stars [the seasonal rising and setting etc.]. With the planting of crops being so vital the movements were tracked over many years even before they made calculations. A certain number of passages had to be observed before they could be sure it was a recurring event. The mathematical calculations are basically geometry and trigonometry and arithmetic. There is no advanced, pure maths involved. It is more complicated than this of course an dI will answer once I've done more reading.
November 25th, 2008 at 3:49 am
The New Scientist from Sept '07 carries an article when it says that Japanese scientists led by Genda get round the problem of the H2/D2 mismatch by saying the the earth was covered by a thick H2 atmosphere which interacted with the oxides in the crust and the ratios drifted upwards. However current analysis of the ratios point to aseroid/cometary bombardment.
November 25th, 2008 at 6:33 am
good morning, all—nothing relevant…just a small bit of interesting news…last thursday, a huge meteor was seen entering the canadian skies… the trail, then blast of light was visible for over 500 miles (as documented by video tapes of the event taken in different locations)
canadian officials are looking for the impact site..no word yet as to the actual size of the meteor…

The lunatic fringe continually call for scientific confirmation of theories and ideas yet when they are move the goal-posts and ask for more. Ask them for confirmation of alien science and intervention and all they give in return is the discredited yowlings of fringe authors and sites littered with dog-slobbering wowsers who just back up each others lazy, crazy thinking. Ya bunch of muppetts.
Rico is looking for answers – that drongo couldn't find a grand piano in one room house. He's got a bad case of boing boing.
November 25th, 2008 at 8:26 am
The geomagnetic poles will shift as they always have done and will continue to do so. As the article stated they wander continuously and the evidence is in sediments.
Becky. The barmy theories would die a natural death if it wasn't for the barmy followers that perpetuated them. Scientific theories that cannot be substantiated or fail rigorous testing are cast aside. They don't get ridden around just because they "look good" or fit in with some lunatic's idea of how the world should be.
November 25th, 2008 at 8:26 am
Paul, when you say the maya studied the stars for many years. How many is many in your opinion?
You go on to say that there was no pure math involved. I'm just asking because just looking at the calculations of the long count calendar there either had to be strong mathematical knowledge or thry had to be studying stars for over 1000 years no?
I know you said it was more complicated than that and I'm glad to see that you're researching these complex peoples.
You may also want to update your reading on the sumerian and pre sumerian cultures. I'm not saying this to be a smart ass I'm just saying that you will see the similarities and when you look further and analyze it yourself you will find that these similarities aren't an aberation but the norm all over the world.
You have to look at their religious stories. This is a very important part of their culture.
I still don't agree that their sky studies had anything to do with crops. Todays farmers don't study stars for growing crops in that fashion.
We'll see.
-R-
November 25th, 2008 at 8:33 am
A long time need only be ten years. Once it was/is noticed that certain stars rise at the same time of year that is going to give the observers firm evidence it's a real phenomenon. The wanderings of the planets would also have been noted as to where and when they rose or culminated [ crossing the southern meridian at local midnight]. After a significant number of years 100 or so the sightings and calculations
would have become further refined. It would have been a long and laborious task.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:04 am
After a number of years dealing with the likes of Rico, Espumpin, Becky and JAT in discussion groups, lectures, round table groups etc I'm drawn to the conclussion that they find science too hard, scientific method too dull and difficult and scientific, analytical thought not exciting enough. If an quick fix solution comes along they grab it because it presents an easy counter to stuffy science, it provides a 'romantic' solution to a mundane problem [what could be more mundane than someone trying to build a megalithic structure as a meeting place just with rollers and baulks of wood? e.g. Stonehenge]. No, aliens helped! And of course it's EASY. No need for critical analysis. Superbeings did it.
If Rico etc were asked to perform a scientific style piece of research or analysis they'd sit there like a collection of stunned mullets. You couldn't find your arses with map!!
You make me want to hurl. You might have got Paul to tone down and start answering questions but some will keep shouting at you until you see sense – not my sense, not Owain's, not Paul's but the sense seen once the scales of stupidity have fallen from your eyes.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:18 am
Amit the reason I brought up the water issue is because in the Enuma Elish Tiamat is described as a water planet. According to the story earth comes from Tiamat being smashed in half. One half becomes the asteroid belt called the firmament in the Bible and refered to as the bracelet in the E.E..
The other half becomes earth and the moon was called Kingu and was actually going to have its own orbit, it was supposedly bigger too.
Science I believe hypothesises that comets containg ice struck this planet many times and that this is the cause for the water. I may be wrong but I think this is sciences' view on the matter.

November 25th, 2008 at 9:38 am
You might have got Paul to tone down and start answering questions( Which only happens to be what reasonable people do, so thank you Paul, I salute you on showing us, even if you didn't have. My respect for you have grown even if you didn't care for it or needed it. I just hope others can grow from your example) but some will keep shouting at you until you see sense – (let's pause for a second, to reflect on the thoughts of someone outside the group) Mark Twain-
Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.
( & we're back)
not my sense, not Owain's, not Paul's but the sense seen once the scales of stupidity have fallen from your eyes.
Well Gordy once again you have expressed yourself as articulate as Espumpin. But at leadt he admits it just "ranting" that he's doing. And as much as Paul may disagree with us, he has put us in our place more by "telling" not "yelling", it made it easier for us to hear. See I just ranted on here as well, and we both just wasted our time writting nonsense & reading nonsense. Lets try to just make sense. 'kay

Paul, i would just repeat what GDJ said about you.. My opinion about you has changed a lot. And i respect you now for the knowledge you posess.. Whether it makes any difference to you or not….
November 25th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Paul,
Thanks for the clarity about the complex molecules in Outer Space.
As for Maya, its not a matter of just simple geometry or trignometry..
The Maya accurately calculated times when the sun would rise and set, and even more amazing, they determined the length of the solar year to be 365 days. A tropical year is actually 365.2422 days long, so they were very close in their calculations. There is evidence that the priest-astronomers continually updated their records and predictions so that the calendar remained accurate throughout the generations.
The moon was another object of interest to the Mayans. It was represented by a female deity who had powerful influence on terrestrial events. A waxing moon had the attributes of the beautiful, ideal woman, while a waning moon was considered to be an old female deity who ruled over childbirth. Around 300 C.E., the Mayans began to keep track of synodic lunations, or the interval between successive full moons. A Mayan astronomer calculated that there were exactly 149 moons over a period of 4400 days, which works out to an average lunation of 29.53 days. In the city of Palenque, it was found that there are 405 moons in 11,960 days, which means that an average lunation is 29.53086 days. This is remarkable accuracy, given that the actual average lunation is 29.53059 days.
Venus held a particular attraction for the Mayans. It was considered to be connected with the major deity Quetzalcoatl. It was called Xux Ek, the "Great Star," and the Mayans knew that it is the same object that appears in both the morning and the evening at different times of the year. The priest-astronomers determined the synodic period of Venus (how long it takes to orbit the sun) to be 584 days, which is again incredibly close to the actual period of 583.92 days. When Venus rose in the mornings, it was considered bad luck, and everyone would stay inside their homes and block their chimneys so that the evil light from Venus could not enter. The Mayans also calculated the synodic periods of Mars as 780 days (actual = 779.936 days) and Mercury as 117 days (actual = 116 days), but they seemed uninterested in Jupiter and Saturn, the other bright planets. None of the planets were actually seen as objects different from the rest of the stars, which is unusual considering that they move significantly in relation to the fixed stars.
November 25th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Dear Rico,
Thanks for the clarification….
Thats what i suspected because I have also read about that. The scientists would be quick to discard that as rubbish. But when there is no strong evidence for the comet bombardment theory or any other theory, this theory should stand on equal ground with the others, till there is some proof that provides finality…
November 26th, 2008 at 6:52 am
good morning to you all..
gordy–i will address you more time, and then i choose to let this go..
you are absolutely right about me…math and science have ALWAYS been very difficult for me…mathmatic equations and scientific variations are way above my head…it's basic math and kid science for me…so to a man of much higher degree, i can certainly understand why you would think me diluted–even deluded, in my simplicity…i even understand your distain for me…and that's okay, too…all i ask is that you do not "sell me short"…there really is much to be found in simplicity…
thank you, ever so much, once again, for your kind indulgence of me…
best wishes to you all….have a wonderful thanksgiving!!!!!
November 26th, 2008 at 7:29 am
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!
May you all have something to be thankful for.
E
November 26th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I was not casting aspertions on your ability to comprehend. I pointed out that for people who find the scientific approach to problems difficult, boring or not a quick fix then they reach for the easy answer should it be at hand. Rather than accept the mundane answer for a particular phenomenon because it doesn't appeal or fit in with their particular world view they will go for the spectacular, literally the far out, one. If science can't as yet explain how certain things happen then we'll claim alien intervention, super-human ability of the ancient cultures because it circumvents the often slow process of scientific endeavour.
I certainly don't elevate myself above others here. I 'm certain you have talents that would bewilder me should I stray into your field.
November 26th, 2008 at 8:35 am
Amit. Sorry mate but there is plenty of evidence for cometary and asteroidal bombardment of ther inner solar system. All evidence from the early phases has been obliterated on earth by weathering and tectonic movements and mountain building. The evidence exists on the moon and Mercury. Their pock-marked surfaces retain the impacts from the formation of the solar system. For anyone to maintain that the earth was missed by these comets/asteroids is wrong. This part of the solar system was a real shooting gallery.
November 26th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
amit–are you in or near mumbai??? please be safe, my friend…

Nothing to worry about for now.. But these terrorists are getting more active, dont know how long i can feel secure here……
November 26th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Gordy,
I know that the pock marks on moon are proof of Cometary Bombardment. But there is still no proof that it was the cause of Hydration of Earth.
Scientists are only speculating upon various hypothesis' to support this theory.
Lets hope that someone stumbles upon something convincing soon.
November 26th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Dear Espumpin,
Happy thanksgiving to you too. I know i have a lot to be thankful for, and i hope it stays like this.
But i'm worried after tthe attacks yesterday.. These monsters have killed the Chief of ATS (Anti Terror Squad).
It feels like we are sitting on a Time Bomb which could explode any moment..
November 26th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
I'm just saying, why isn't there water on any other nearby planet? So much water here and ice comets brought it? You realize of course that this is a theory adopted by science not a proven fact.
If you think about it, it makes no sense at all. Before you continue on this path you should look up the numbers nessesary for this theory to work. Science has yet to offer a factual explanation for all the water. Its all theories. Even science offers various theories. No facts.
We all choose which theories we believe.
Some may call it garbage but I find that those people haven't really looked at the entire picture and discard that which does not fit into their comfort zone of reavealed knowledge so to speak.
Gordy for instance will allow any and all scientific theories as to how water happens to be on earth and no where else. Whatever 3 or 4 theories that science offers are valid to gordy. He chooses to believe theories wether they are right or wrong as long as the scientific community has accepted it.
Look for thr origin of religion and god on earth and you see what you find. Thats all. Its easy. You research 3 weeks or so. Look for just that. Origins. If you don't see technology described by the anacients then come back and tell me what you deciphered in studying their religious writings.
All over the world, its the same stories or parrallel stories. It's not a coincidence.
I know it sounds corny as hell. Like a movie, like we're all the nuts in the movie.
But we feel like the guys screaming that he saw a monser and no ones listening. See?
So we wait and find out wether the monster appears again in our lifetimes. Frankly, I hope not.
I'm not a doomsayer. I'm not a scientist. I have a lot of questions. No one can answer my questions. I look for answers all the time.
You guys really need to look further into the pyramid at Giza. That place is special. So are the places where these knuckleheaded Greeks put up temples in what was considered sacred ground by earlier cultures.
Machu Pichu is a very special location on earth. Something to do with the earths magnetic field at that specific location. Look into it. How would and ancient savage people know enough to build these structures, and basically the same accomplishments as their eastern counterparts? Coincidence.
These places require much further study.
Its a possibility that aliens have been here and caused all the religious beliefs we have today. They were considered gods by the early humans and they wrote stories about this. From all the material I read, and not even taking into account mars, nibiru, abductions. I have never used anything of that sort in my argument. I stand by my belief in this possibilty and I can offer no scientific evidence but no one can offer scientific evidence that this isn't the case.
Like science say's. We need more data.
What would you guys say if a well known country like the USA made a public statement that the sosme of the UFO's that people see are probably not of earth origin?
Thats probabaly going to come soon. Watch for it.
Looking forward,

November 26th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Good Point Rico…. When this part of the solar system was a veritable shooting gallery, then it makes a pretty good question to ask why the other nearby planets do not have water…. Why only Earth??
Something to do with the atmosphere maybe? But thats for the scientists to answer.
And as you said, more data is required..
November 26th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Good idea to break the thread into multiple pags, faster loading and no clogging…
November 27th, 2008 at 3:40 am
The evidence for water on nearby planets is well established. Huge glaciers covered by sand/regolith have been discovered on Mars; evidence for large amounts of water flowing and in large bodies has also been seen on Mars. The reason there is no standing or flowing water there is very low atmospheric pressure, thin atmosphere and low temperatures. The water there is in the form of ice.
Asteroids also have large amounts of water on and in them.
The gas palnets don't seem to have much in the way of water though. For the most part they are composed of the primordial elements and compunds of the solar nebulae i.e. hydrogen, helium, ammonia, methane.
The case for Venus in more or less the opposite. The primordial water would have evaporated quickly as it's so close to the sun and in gaseous form been split by ultra violet light into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen escapes to space and the oxygen combines with carbon to produce a huge atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Vast amounts of CO2 were injected into the atmosphere by large volcanoes. It also combines with sulphur from the venusian volcanoes to form sulphuric acid.
November 27th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Paul,
Thanks for the explanation.
This theory seems plausible to me now.
November 27th, 2008 at 5:00 am
AMIT.
As has been said previously I hope things are quiet where you live. My father loved India when he was there with the RAF during the war and always said I should visit. I happen to have a number of his photo graphs of Bombay [as it was then] and of his approach to the harbour on board ship. He spent most of his time in Burma and the east of India but travelled extensively when on leave. Even learned a couple of the languages too. Be safe.
November 27th, 2008 at 6:04 am
I'll second that. Keep your head down.

We Aussies might be rough and ready and shout louder than anyone else but we're not insensitive to people when they find themselves in a potetially dangerous situation. Watch out for yourself Amit and hope you and your family are safe and well.
We can resume our battles later.

Paul my question was what is sciences' explanation for this planet being 2/3 water? Where did the water com from?
Ice comets don't seem plausible.

Amit, I'm glad that you and your family are safe.
Mullers theory re approx cycle of 62 million year asteroid bombardment , a real shooting gallery as said, and comets, which are known as water bringers even in ancient texts….there have been plenty events that delivered water to Earth.

There is a wall in Israel that MANY people think to be holy we spend 500bill a year on that lame FAKE place.
Tell what is the difference from 2012 doomdays then any other religion???????
There is not one!!!! 90% of all humans belive ina fake god other humans made up
All i see 2012 is a link to us and nature
I read most of the dumb stuff people write on here its funny to read
When we seen the Atom how can anyone here say a naked jew died for our sins that is really silly
This here tells me that man kind is doom cus they FEAR anything they dont understand
Keep believing in your naked jew Maybe he will return and save us for the horde of dumb people on this mother earth
And most of all keep your day job keep thinking there is a god keep paying taxes and KEEP the capitalism spirit alive for the greedy jews
have a nice fake day non thinkers

Bloody brilliant mate. You think this thread is going cactus you should see the lunacy that's happening on the Non-geomagnetic Reversal thread! End Timers, hippies spouting gobble-de-gook, alien interventionists, the whole slobbering crew has gathered there. Scientific explanations mean nothing to them. A right bunch of wowsers.

This guys wordkiller is a nut but I understand his conspiracy theory. I bumped into so many. Hes actually referring to Zionist Jews.
In his rant about a fake god hes probably referring to the Terah/Abraham conspiracy to create a monoeistic religion and attributing the sumerian legends to this one made up god.
As far as capitalism theres nothing we can do about that. Taxes are like death we all gotta pay the piper.
So he came here to vent.

Wordkiller,
Agree with most of what you said…. People have gone way off in interpreting the true meaning of Religion…..
Most people worship some fake god or the other, and you know whats worse? They even branch out these fake religions further!
The way i see religion, it was only a means to get "ignorant" people to follow scientific concepts without having to explain the same to them…
In my country , there are various practices that are followed by people "Religiously", without knowing the true meaning of those. On the surface they appear as simple myths, but when you go deeper, you understand the Science behind the concept.
I will quote several examples… It was an age old myth here that you should not sleep under a tree at night, because Ghosts dwell on trees at that time. Ofcourse now we know the science behind that.. This was a very basic example, but there are several others which are more complex.
There is another one that i can re-collect from recent memory… A few days back my wife was clipping our 2 year Old's nails. And my mom tld her not to throw the clippings outside as it brings bad luck. I just discarded it as a stupid superstition.. But due to my inquisitive nature i tried to get to the bottom of it and came to find out that if you throw the nail clippings in the open, the birds start pecking on them, thinking them to be Rice grains.. If they swallow too many, they can even die due to it !!
My point behind is that there is a lot of Science behind most myths and superstitions… Its the interpretation thats wrong.. And we should not be too quick rto discard the Ancient texts.. They need to be taken seriously.. Its just that some of the concpets are still beyond our comprehension presently, but we may be able to fathom the deeper meaning they hold, sometime soon…..
November 27th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Theres like 5 scientific theories as to why theres so much water here and how it got here.
These theories are accepted by the scientist here. But theyre just theories.
There are so many things we can get into that science offers various possible explanations for.
Science is good, but not perfect. You guys keep talking about carbon dating, I never mention that because its become my understanding that this dating method is crap for want of a better description. Science is working on better dating methods and has better ones already. Many things will have to be re-analyzed.
I'm tired, ate too much turkey and played too much baskeball.

You are right about theories…
Whenever the word "Theory" is used, the first thing that comes to my mind is Godel's Incompleteness Theorem…
Dont think i need to explain more.
At the moment, my interest is captured by the Grand Unification Epoch, takes me a while to get that into my head, as its difficult for a Layman to comprehend such heavy stuff.. But its interesting nonetheless…
November 28th, 2008 at 6:34 am
Ahhh, the Grand Unification epoch. Mind boggling. I think it's fascinating that we can describe events fairly confidently to a time 10 to the minus 33 seconds after the Big Bang. Much before that and things start to get a little bit weird – quantum – foam space, symmetry breaking, Plank time, Plank space. Awesome.

amit and paul–any "science made simple" versions of the grand unification epoch????
i understand that the "plank era" has to do with instability, and i understand that symmetry breaking plays a major role in pattern formation…sorta making "order out of chaos"…where "a disorderly state" would be considered the "norm"…
now enter X + Y bosons, and baryon numbers, and the mind turns to marshmallow…any help or insight would be greatly appreciated….
thank you, well in advance, for your time and considerations…
November 29th, 2008 at 7:26 am
gordy–just a small personal insight—nothing relevant!!!!!!!!
i seriously doubt that you or anyone elso would "flounder" in my area of expertise…i work in a photo "lab", and make pictures for a living…i dare say you could feed a monkey bananas and train it to do what i do…BUT—i do it well….and since photography has always been a passion for me…it is a great job to have…technologically speaking, "we've come a long ways, baby"….my lab is 8 years old, and would be considered "outdated" in comparison to some of the newer ones that are out there…always something "new" for me to learn…
like i said—certainly nothing relevant–just thought i'd share…
November 30th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Yes, Grand Unification is mind boggling…. But absolutely amazing if you try to picture the scene in your mind…
Planck Epoch is the phase that followed the GU Epoch…
Becky, even i am searching for a simple explanation of the same, but its hard to come by…You may start off at Wikipedia, it would help because it provides hyperlinks to related texts, so that you can clarify the terms you cannot understand..
Perhaps, Paul might be able to guide us to some good links here…
November 30th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Correction – Planck Epoch preceded the GU Epoch……
December 1st, 2008 at 4:53 am
The Planck Era is the time before 10-43 seconds after the Big Bang. [time = 0 to 10-43 seconds]. At this time the four fundamental forces were united [gravity, strong, weak and electro-magnetism] and indistinguishable form on another.Theory says that this was an unstable state and through a process called 'symmetry breaking' firstly gravity broke away followed by the others so that by around 10-34 seconds the familiar forces were separate entities. It is conjectured that this symmetry breaking led to the period of rapid inflation which took the universe from the size of an atomic nucleus to the size of a beachball in the time space of time from 10-43 to 10-34 seconds after the Big Bang. Some theorists have said that this inflationary period could be seen as the Big Bang. Others have said that the traditional B/B could actually have occurred after inflationwhen the universe reached the beachball size.
Other theorists like Neil Turok have theorised that time never actually began in the true sense of the word as the universe is infinite in space and time and the universe we inhabit 'was born' when two 'Branes [membranes] collided head on and the energy released caused our universe that is part of a far bigger multiverse.
I'll dig out some books later and give a better explanation if I can.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:09 am
thanks, guys!!!!
for any stargazers out there–venus and jupiter have been putting on quite a show !! tonight, i believe, there is supposed to be just 2 degrees of separation between the two of them , 20 degrees off the crescent moon…allegedly, this will not happen again for another 30 years or so…(this is from my southwestern US vantage point in arizona).
happy stargazing!

December 1st, 2008 at 6:36 am
As it happens there is a Horizon programme tomorrow night, Tuesday, on BBC 2 at 21:00 about Time, what is it?, does it really exist? etc. etc. I don't know if the people outside of the U.K. can watch it on the BBc's iPlayer facility but you can try. The site is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer. If you can't catch it 'live' it's usually available for seven days thereafter. Whether the Palnck Era is covered I don't know but 'Branes are going to be mentioned.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:56 am
Turok and Hawking have a bet re gravitational waves, but I can see how both could be right. I'll watch Horizon, see if Cox and others think that Time is as Turok believes, infinite….deems to me that time is eternal and an evenly distributed constant, that is travelled through at various rates.
If and when our universe contracts, I don't expect time to run backwards literally, its just that previous similar conditions in the universe will be evident.

Hi Guys!!
The concept of time has always been very intriguing…
Turok has this membrane theory.. But if you go back further and ask – "How were the membranes formed?" . Is there any answer? Well, i think the question only leads us to believe that time is infinite… Because if time was finite,then there has to be some sort of "Start", the "First" trigger that caused something to happen…
If the Universe was formed by Big Bang, and Big Bang was the result of interaction of "Energies", what about the Energies then? Where did they come from? There has to be source!
I can only assume that the Universe is Infinite and there is no such thing as "Time" … Its only a means created by us to keep track of our activities, and we keep fragmenting "Time" into smaller portions.. From Day and Night, we got to Hours and Minutes, and now Nano Seconds….
The more you think about it, the more you get confused…..

i thought i had said something horribly wrong again!!! got a couple good shots of venus and jupiter the other night…that really was pretty cool…next cosmic event for me will be the geminid meteor showers on or around the 13th of december this year….ya have to head a little bit out of phoenix and away from the light polution of the city to see them really well…saw the leonids last month…always something to watch or see in the skies…
decided i'd wait "and watch" for something on either the history channel or NATGEO for more on the G.U.epoch…reading about it is way above my comprehension level..did not see that special on "time" that paul was talking about–it did not air in my area–or at least on any of the channels we have access to…but will keep my eyes open for it… i'm rather curious…thanks for the heads-up, paul…

I was literally losing sleep not to mention ordering survival supplies and stockpiles of ammo. Hell, I even googled real estate in the Appalachain Mountains. I reside in Florida and was feeling pretty certain we were gonna be up manure street without a fricken paddle. Unfortunately I still have my insecurities with regards to the planetary alignments and pole shifts. I learned about this back in Astronomy class in College – about 22 years ago. I suppose I am feeling more affected these days because I am a father, and it would really SUCK if our world was wasted in a mere 4 years.

When gold hit $700 per oz, it brought the price to a negative 7% compared to a year ago. This would roughly mirror the huge correction "within" the bull market we saw from 1970 to 1980. The same Bull Run that took gold from $34.50oz. In January 1970, to $850oz. by January 1980, that's roughly a 2,450% increase!
The question still lies… Why has gold dropped?
I challenge you to see things for what they really are, in terms of U.S. dollars; Gold has indeed dropped from its March highs of $1,000 per oz.
That's only because gold is traded in U.S. dollars and the U.S. dollar has rose so much against other currencies. In fact, if you are in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, or most other countries, gold is actually at an all time high!
Let's take a closer look at the reasons the U.S. dollar has surged higher.
To say the U.S. dollar rally is real or sustainable is like saying everything we know about economics is wrong! How can the U.S. dollar get stronger as the U.S. economy deteriorates?
The obvious answer is that it can't!
The U.S. dollar is being devalued at an alarming rate. Faster than what took place in Argentina, Mexico, and Russia put together. The only difference is that our government has better ways to hide it.
Just think about the recent bailouts, how much has our government thrown down the endless "bail out hole"…
Let's add it up!
$800 billion to support mortgage consumer debt
$100 billion for Fannie Mae
$100 billion for Freddie Mac
$150 billion for Stimulus package (from January)
$8 billion for Indymac
$29 billion for Bear Stearns
$ 700 billion for Wall Street ( Bank of America; Merrill Lynch, City Group, JP Morgan, Washington Mutual, Wells Fargo; Wachovia, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs…)
$143.8 Billion for AIG ( which keeps growing)
$25 Billion for the big three in Detroit
$138 billion for Lehman Brothers (post bankruptcy) through JP Morgan
$50 Billion for money market funds
$ 620 billion for general currency swaps from the feds
Totaling : $2,863,800,000,000
This doesn't include the hundreds of billions the feds have and will continue to buy in commercial paper. Plus, what they lend out to other financial firms.
Not to mention, the feds recent supply of new credit lines to Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, and Singapore to "help those countries deal with the global credit crisis." The feds will start at $30 billion and have promised up to $100 billion dollars per country.
Can someone say HYPER-INFLATION !
If you can't see where the U.S. dollar and gold are headed, I'll be crystal clear! The dollar is going in the exact same direction as the Zimbabwe dollar and Mexican peso. Between the last devaluations of the peso, it's lost 99.9%. If you want to know the price of gold in old pesos; you just have to multiply gold by 100,000.
With everything that has taken place, many "main-stream" TV commentators believe or want us to believe, that the U.S. dollar is now the currency of choice; a safe haven or flight to quality.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
The fact is that the U.S. dollar is now seen as a liability, not an asset. More and more countries are walking away from it.
The reason the U.S. dollar has gone higher is due to the $598 trillion dollar derivatives market. You see, hedge funds have over leveraged themselves and have been hit with tremendous margin calls as markets move against them. They have been forced to liquidate their investments overseas, which is why overseas markets are now crashing. They're liquidating to come up with equity to pay off margin accounts, which need to be paid off in U.S. dollars.
The dollar is NOT rising because it's a "safe haven" or a flight to quality; but rather to satisfy U.S. margin accounts. Remember until further notice, margin accounts in most emerging world markets can also be satisfied in U.S. dollars hence, the surge in demand for the U.S. dollar over the past few weeks.
Now let's talk about deflation. It's true deflation is here! Deflation is a normal stage in any depressionary economic cycle. Prices of goods and services are going down, they have to. We have an over inventory of cars, electronics, homes, etc… The universal law of supply and demand kicks in. Sellers of goods and services are forced to devalue their prices in order to attract buyers. Regardless of lower prices, people just aren't buying.
Have no fear, deflation won't be here long. The un-federal reserve assures us of that, every time they create money out of thin air.
Hyper inflation is just around the corner!
Anyone with a head on their shoulders knows that current consumer price index (CPI) is phony! Real inflation is much higher then government reported numbers.
Whether you believe hyper inflation is coming or not, you better prepare for it.
It happened to the Argentina, Russia, Germany, and recently to Zimbabwe.
It's true; our government is just as irresponsible in their creation of money.
Another key issue that's looming on the horizon is the five dollar floor for mutual funds. By law, mutual funds have to sell out of stocks that are trading under $5 per share. With the recent drop in the Dow, a lot of stocks are getting dangerously close to that mark, and when they get there, all mutual funds holding that stock, will have to sell it, creating a snow ball effect. Plus don't forget we are walking into the worst retail Christmas season, ever forecasted. When the depressing numbers hit Wall Street, get ready to see the DOW take another dive!
Now let's talk about the nasty rumor of market manipulation
and price fixing in the gold and silver markets.
The commodity futures trading commission (CFTC) puts out the "Commitments of Traders" (COT) reports. In where the public can clearly see the net long or short positions held by non-commercial and commercial institutions in all exchange trade commodity markets. Well, without dragging this out.. It's true! Up until the first week of November, two well known bullion banks held %76 of all the short positions in the silver pits and the same two Institutions also held 60% of all the short positions in the gold pits at the New York Mercantile Exchange and the COMEX division.
The question is, "can this go on forever"? The answer is NO!
In fact, the CFTC is now in an active investigation of both the gold and silver pits.
Plus! At or before the expiration of the specified futures contract (gold/silver) all short positions must be satisfied by either the sale of the commodity (gold and silver) or the buying back of the short position. Well, we know they can't sell metals they don't have, therefore the only other option is to buy the short positions back, with a sizable profit I'm sure. Nevertheless, they will be bought back. Which will add a frenzy of buying, ultimately sparking the next Bull Run in that market.
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has never been better to own tangible gold and silver. We all know what gold and silver are capable of when the buying frenzy starts. You don't need to be a doomsdayer to know that the worst is yet to come.
The largest load of bank loans re-adjusting the first quarter of 2009 and not stopping until 2012
Bank failures
Foreclosures
Rising unemployment
Inflation
Crashing U.S. dollar
The introduction of the North American Union and the Amero
These are all the reasons why more and more people are gravitating to tangible metals.

No geomagnetic reversal? the sun is doing it -and what happens there happens here, right?
December 4th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Different dynamics. The sun basically acts as a fluid while the earth acts as a solid.
[The study of the sun's magnetic field, its production etc is called magneto-hydro dynamics.] The sun's layers rotate at different speeds as do the gases at different latitudes which causes all kinds of tensions and stresses within the sun's magnetic field. With the earth the tensions are less though the interior appears to rotate at a slightly different rate than the mantle and crust.
December 4th, 2008 at 7:11 am
paul–how can that be??? wouldn't that put the earth under a whole bunch of stress????
December 5th, 2008 at 2:17 am
a few years ago i lived in a small town in missouri and an unusual thing happened. we had a swarm of cicadas.different types of cicadas have different incubation periods before leaving their holes in the ground. im not sure what the timetables are but the math bore itself out that they all came out at the same time.it was CRAZY. you couldn't hear anything except that chirruping they do. my point is that is it not possible that an astronomical "cicada swarm" could happen?the combination or domino effect of galactic equinox, Y-class brown dwarf(which are virtually undetectable because of their lack of most forms of radiation in quantity)racing through our solar system,geomagnetic reversal,causing the earths super volcanic calderas to erupt relatively all at once. i watched a "nova" episode that said;as far as super volcano eruption time lines go the Yosemite caldera is overdue. and by the way what is the object only visible in IRAS at 9h 47m 59s,13 16' 27"? Y-class brown dwarf?quasar? i couldn't find any info on those coordinates on google. and there was only an image on google sky.oh and a lot of conjecture on youtube. thanks
December 5th, 2008 at 8:29 am
The IRAS data is quite old and 'viewed' with technology that dates from the late 1970's[IRAS was launched in 1983]. A lot of the faint, weird looking images in reality turned out to be faint, very distant infra-red galaxies in their infancy; low mass stars; ultra cool red dwarves; some things that later turned out to be brown dwarves[and not hurtling towards or through the solar system]; warm dust both within and outside the solar system. Don't worry yourself into a panic or an early grave.
The Yosemite super volcano is by some estimates not ready to blow for another 10,000 years or so. It does show a sort of regularity but it is NOT a clockwork device but is subject to the stresses and strains of the movement of magma at great depth. The times appear regular when viewed over tens of millions of years. When it goes it goes and no currently planned evacuation of the continental United States will make a ha'porth [a cent's worth]of difference to the devastation or loss of life. Even with a months notice, and that's unlikely, no more than a few hundreds of thousands of people will be moved.

December 6th, 2008 at 6:24 am
hi, rico–read that "speculation" as well…perhaps nibiru or "planet X"…no one is saying for sure…any info coming from the SPT facility was immediately squelched…though rumor has it that they are watching the approach of something in the southern hemisphere…and it has a moon…still wondering what would necessitate the need for such an expensive telescope in such a remote area??????
never did get a response from our astronomers…..
December 6th, 2008 at 6:40 am
could it be that a) the SPT is not relative to their area of expertise, b) they are not at liberty to say, or c) they don't know what the SPT is?????????
December 6th, 2008 at 7:28 am
hi, guys–had another thought—read through the 2012-no planet X thread this morning…i apologize for not remembering the person's name who posted this thought…but was wondering if our astromoners could explain the "sky patch" located at these coordinates…it appears in the google/sky link
right ascension = 5h, 53m, 42.0s
declination = -6 degrees 0' 43.9"
why the patch, guys??? what's behind it????
December 6th, 2008 at 11:08 am
As has been noted elsewhere the SPT has discovered a number of clusters of very distant galaxies. As for something approaching the earth from the south galactic pole or wherever "and it has a moon", that is scare-mongering bullshit. But what else can you expect. Once again it's a case of the lunatic fringe not knowing so they make up some fantasy story that smacks of a conspiracy. Very childish.

There should be concern re contributions of science to the creation of weapons and modes of destruction. Without science the weapons capable of great and mass destruction would not exist. Biggest concern is mans creations and intentions re usage.
December 7th, 2008 at 5:10 am
Without science you wouldn't have the technology to spread panic and misrepresentations of science and its discoveries; you wouldn't have the means of curing illness; comfortable travel; well constructed and heated accommodation etc. etc. ad infinitum.
Yes science has given us the threat of nuclear annihilation, biological poisoning etc but most of us would much prefer to live in the present with ALL the problems than not.

leah–good to hear from you–regarding usage AND REUSAGE—-pretty scary indeed—the rejuvination of anthrax, smallpox, and the plague comes to mind for me…and why reusing them would even be a CONSIDERED, is above and beyond me…apparently it wasn't devastating enough the first time around…
gordy–i, too,am very grateful for the times in which we live…in spite of–or even because of all the problems…but why create, or recreate more????? ya don't "poke the bear" when it sleeps…sometimes it is best to just let it sleep…and in the case of smallpox and anthrax–what would be the harm in letting it sleep?????
putting just that aspect completely aside, i sometimes squirm when i hear or read phrases like
'Oh, we have the technology, but we would NEVER use it for THAT!"…can't help but think that somehow that just isn't true….the want for power and curiosity are two very strong driving forces…we tend to want to see what it will do, or see what will happen, and cover up the consequences later….or ever worse, know, and do nothing about it….
nature has a pattern–human nature does not….
i apologize well in advance for these "non-scientific" ramblings…thank you for your kind indulgence…
December 7th, 2008 at 11:45 am
I think you should direct some of those comments to politicians not scientists. Of course we as scientists must take some of the blame for some of the 'discoveries' that are put to evil usage but very, very few scientists actually decide to use them. Anthrax and smallpox were around long before science.
December 7th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
point well taken, gordy…in the overall scheme of things, it is most unfortunate that science, too, sometimes suffers from the affects of bad politics..
December 7th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Hey Becky!
I am doing alright.. No worries for now….
Espumpin has been missing since long. Wonder whats up with him?
Leah, i have seen your question on the other thread and answered it…
Rico,
There has never been a convincing answer about SPT from the Scientists.. Becky gave the coordinates for the "patch" as well.. Whats the harm in asking questions if we are curious about something?? But ook at the answer she got from Gordy and Co. Same old ranting about Lunatc Fringe and all… C'mon guys, answer the question straight.. Give us something worrthwhile or say "I dont know" if you dont have the answers!
December 7th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Dear Amit,
Thanks for your answer. Jealousy is the motivation it seems. Its good to know you are well. Espumpin is ominously missing….maybe abroad…not home.
Be well, Leah
Dear Gordy,
No insult meant to any……nor was it my intent to apportion blame….I see none. It is the construct of the system that furnishes opportunity to use discoveries for destructive purposes. I wish for further constructive exchange, not destructive argument for argument's sake.
Be well, Leah
December 7th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
Leah,
I have lots and lots to say regarding that matter.. But as you said, this is not the right avenue to do so…
Moreover, you will get only one side of the story from me, which you may feel to be biased towards my own country.
You would ofcourse like to get some views from the other side as well…..
The whole situation is sad you know.. When so much can be achieved through mutual copoeration, whats the need for all this? And you know whats worse, to think that Pakistan has its origin in India.. We have the same ancestors.. But then again, this can be said about the whole world… If only all the people could realise this, we wont need any God Damned Politicians to lead (mislead) us..
December 8th, 2008 at 6:53 am
amit–so glad you are safe and doing okay…perhaps this isn't the "proper venue" in which to discuss this, but please know that (speaking solely for myself) we all "hold bias" toward our own countries…and who better to speak for it than the people who live there???
…just please continue to take care and be safe!!! we'll talk more "around the campfire"…
…continued best wishes
December 8th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I've looked at the coordinates RA 5h 53' 42" dec -6* 0' 43.9" and don't see a 'patch'. Looks normal to me. Might I suggest people check the data bases of the southern hemisphere observatories in Chile, South Africa and Australia. These southern telescopes should have no difficulty in seeing the south galactic pole. The SPT is placed there so as to be free from radio interference as well as light pollution. There's nothing sinister in it's position. For many years astronomers have been agitating for a series of 'scopes to be built there. The ultimate place for radio 'scopes is of course the Far Side of the moon.
December 8th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Besides the Toraor.net site is there anywhere on the net that mentions the missing part of the southern sky? I've read through the "proof" offered by the aforementioned site but it is I'm afraid to say riddled with inaccuracies, is a mish-mash of pseudo-science, real science, mythology and dribbling, nonesensical rubbish. If that's the only 'evidence' then there's nothing to fear.
December 8th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Dear Amit,
Thank you again. I'm the odd one out as I have a bias for Earth, and all life here, and not just for one country or area. Your bias seems to be leaning in the same direction.
In general, not repeat myself at length….Prophecy when regarded from the perspective of Propaganda, is a useful tool to concentrate the minds of people on dates and events that instill dread and fear.
Change is a constant, whether prophecised or not. Its fine to accept it as "One" possibility, but it is not the only one. If the prophecy does not appeal, it should not be given so much power and attention…..instead this energy could be used to effect a more desirable future. Prophecy can be advice, suggestion, or used as a blueprint to instill confusion, and fear.
December 8th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Dear Leah,
You are quite right about my bias….. It "leans" more towards Earth as "One World" ..
Sometimes i wonder what will happen if all the borders are dissolved? No boundaries, no individual governments.. One global Govt , one currency and one religion – Humanity.
December 8th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
As mentioned by Rico, the movie – 2012 has a very good tag line..
And its very true…. "Preparing" the people for such a catastrophe would be like setting off a bomb… Humanity will be wiped out before the actual cataclysm takes place…
No Brick-bats for this please!! I am just considering this as a hypothetical situation….
December 8th, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your clarification about the patch….
But i am curious to know what exactly the SPT is doing ?
Has it come across something important (In General) yet? Where can we view some images from SPT?
And one more thing.. Is there a lot of difference between North Pole and South Pole in terms of Radio Interference and Light Pollution?
December 9th, 2008 at 1:51 am
The SPT is a very new facility and only saw first light within the past year or so. Therefore not a great deal of work has been done. It's mainly fine tuning and beddingf in. So far the SPT has imaged a number of clusters of galaxies in the infra -red meaning they are very distant as well as very dusty. That means they are very young.
As far as radio and light pollution at the poles there is significantly less of both at the south pole. The Arctic is relatively much closer to human activity and is surrounded by Russia, USA, Scandinavia, human habitation in Greenland and a lot of radio traffic goes 'over ' the pole. Light pollution is less of a problem depending on where you placed the telescopes in the north. As far as I'm aware the north pole has seen more activity based on defence than on astronomical research.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:24 am
Amit: You could try this site for an update and images. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070226_south_pole_telescope.html
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10148
December 9th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Paul and others. I followed a few links regarding the SPT and Niburu. This 'patch' that is supposedly covering an oncoming object or Niburu has I'm afraid all the hallmarks of a hoax or, as has been said, mere scare-mongering. These Niburu believers cannot get their story or facts correct. Get this. One of them claims that the Planet X/Niburu is near the constellation of Leo and consequently 'near' to our equator when projected onto the sky [known as the ecliptic]. There is NO way that anything in that position could see seen and photographed by the SPT or any telescope near that latitude.
I'm sure that the astronomers and other scientists here are waiting anticipation for what other 'explanation' the conspiracy theorists can come up with. I know I am.
Over to the lunatics.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
President George W. Bush said his belief that God created the world is not incompatible with scientific proof of evolution.
In an interview with ABC's "Nightline" on Monday, the president also said he probably is not a literalist when reading the Bible although an individual can learn a great deal from it, including the New Testament teaching that God sent his only son Asked about creation and evolution, Bush said: "I think you can have both. I think evolution can — you're getting me way out of my lane here. I'm just a simple president. But it's, I think that God created the earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty and I don't think it's incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution."
He added, "I happen to believe that evolution doesn't fully explain the mystery of life."
Interviewer Cynthia McFadden asked Bush if the Bible was literally true.
You know. Probably not. … No, I'm not a literalist, but I think you can learn a lot from it, but I do think that the New Testament for example is … has got … You know, the important lesson is 'God sent a son,'" Bush said.
"It is hard for me to justify or prove the mystery of the Almighty in my life," he said. "All I can just tell you is that I got back into religion and I quit drinking shortly thereafter and I asked for help. … I was a one-step program guy."
The president also said that he prays to the same God as those with different religious beliefs.
"I do believe there is an almighty that is broad and big enough and loving enough that can encompass a lot of people," Bush said.
When asked whether he thought he would have become president had it not been for his faith, Bush said: "I don't know; it's hard to tell. I do know that I would have been — I'm pretty confident I would have been a pretty selfish person."
Bush said he is often asked whether he thinks he was chosen by God to be president.
"I just, I can't go there," he said. "I'm not that confident in knowing, you know, the Almighty, to be able to say, Yeah, God wanted me of all the other people."
He also said the decision to go to war in Iraq was not connected to his religious beliefs.
"I did it based upon the need to protect the American people from harm," Bush said.
"You can't look at the decision to go into Iraq apart from, you know, what happened on Sept. 11. It was not a religious decision," he said. "I don't view this as a war of religion. I view this as a war of good, decent people of all faiths against people who murder innocent people to achieve a political objective."
He said he felt like God was with him as he made big decisions, but that the decisions were his.
"George W. Bush has to make these decisions."

gordy, so sorry to disappoint—but nothing more from this lunatic at this time…
leah and amit–please do not misunderstand—i, too, share a huge concern for all mankind, but for me, it must start small…love, honor, respect, and charity begin at home…the butterfly effect…

Dear Just a Thought,
Are you well ?
Best wishes, Leah
December 11th, 2008 at 2:35 am
Mankind is in quite a healthy state with plenty of love, honour, respect etc going around if you would only see it. It happens in the day to day actions of people everywhere, any time. People ARE basically altruistic and kind to one another. The idea that mankind is in some sort of cultural meltdown and mental crisis comes from the skewed vision people have of the world when they see the iniquities in Zimbabwe, Palestine, South Africa, Brazil etc broadcast on the news every day. There will never be a world government thank goodness [who needs monolithic state control? Ask the Russians and Chinese], world religion or anything similar. What has made humanity successful is it's diversity [and opposable thumbs]. Long may it continue.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:09 am
owain–you are absolutely right–there is plenty of goodness "going around", but , sadly ,it is not enough "to go around"…those "iniquities" are very real to those who live it every day…we are privy to the very best that mankind has to offer,but we are also witness to the absolute worst… i am very fortunate and blessed that it has not knocked on my front door…i cannot imagine what it would be like to LIVE IN FEAR, or in peril….if i had one wish for all mankind..that would be it…no suffering, fear or peril…
December 11th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Dear Owain,
Your observations are as mine. Altruism is so prevelent….therefore commonplace, it naturally does not hit the headlines….which seek to report sensationalism, and on matters of a negative nature.
Having spent time under communist rule, I don't see global monolithic governing as being possible…..not needed so not wanted. Certain global functions could do with co-operation and management, but no more than that. E. g. Matters re Climate and Polution, as they effect all life equally on Earth, and Earth itself.
I thank you for the positive input.
Be well, Leah
December 11th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Just a Thought, Welcome Back!
Where have you been??
Any news??
December 11th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Dear Becky,
Dont worry, your point was well taken….
It all starts from the self…..
Owain is also right to a great extent..
I know that my dream of a Single World Govt. is far fetched…..
There may be a lot of good going around. But the overall state of world is dismal!
I may be leading a happy life. But at the end of the day, it hurts to see so many people suffer out there.. People without food and shelter, people being killed in wars and terrorist attacks…
December 12th, 2008 at 3:36 am
If one concentrates TOO much on the misfortune of others then one's own life becomes very much diminished. Of course we must be concerned about those who live in poverty, under oppression and on the margins of society. But mere hand-wringing will do nothing to allieviate their suffering. That is a luxury indulged in by the monied, comfortable, chattering classes. Urging our respective governments into action is virtually the only way to solve the problems. Unfortunately in Britain successive governments rely in many case on charitable donations to help the under-priveliged rather than get involved themselves.
December 12th, 2008 at 8:53 am
If the skies are clear wherever you are tonight,the 12th, you will be treated to a rather special sight. With the full moon being at perigee, it's closest approach to earth, it will appear around 14% larger than a 'normal' full moon and also 30% brighter. The next time we get what is called a perigeal full moon is 14th November 2016 so make the most of it.
Over and out.
December 12th, 2008 at 9:41 am
thank you, paul!!! sights are set on the full moon…here, in the great southwest, we will also be treated to the geminid meteor showers this weekend…best nights for viewing will be saturday and sunday nights…gotta get out of the big city, though, and away from all the light polution…
everyone–please take care…
December 12th, 2008 at 9:47 am
amit–i, too, very well understand…and owain–i am in no way disputing you…again…"all points very well taken"…my "idealism", more often than not, stands in the way of reason and logic…
December 13th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
JAT!!!! where are you??? i do not see you on my view of the thread…welcome back, my friend!!!
December 13th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I read somewhere that with all the technology we have today it still takes a woman the same amount of time to clean her house as it did when there was no electricity.
Weird huh? I wonder how long it would take me to sew together a shirt if I had the need to do it. I figure 3 or 4 hours. With the average salary at around 10 bucks an hour and a shirt costing around forty bucks it would take 4 hors work to buy a shirt. No progress.
The best discoveries in science were in medicine. More babies survive birth today than ever before in the history of mankind.
Science is also like a really really big ship in the ocean. It takes time to turn around.
But it turns. What today is mystical, tomorrow is scientifically explained. This has always been thus.
As a whole, our combined earthly knowledge is infantile with regards to the many aspects of space and even what we have on earth.
I look forward to new sientific discoveries.

December 14th, 2008 at 7:16 am
hi, rico–what a great analogy!!! i like the perspective…i, too, look forward….
December 14th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I know what I'm about to write has nothing to do with the thread but some people will appreciate the thought.
What if man created an artificial life form. A robot with human qualities and what if we had used human tissue in the construction of this robot and it considered itself a sentient being after i reached "conscienceness".
All that being put forth. My question is the following.
Does this "robot" have the right to appeal to our God?
Will our Gods recognize this being as being in the so-called "Book of Life"?
Is our God "its" God also?
Does a man made machine like being have the right to worship like a man that was alledgedly created by God?
Good stuff,

December 14th, 2008 at 8:24 am
When you think Maya calendar. Think Olmecs.
-R-
December 14th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Olmecs are most well-known for their colossal head statues. The heads were possibly modeled after notable citizens, probably leaders. Most of the colossal heads were defaced or destroyed in some way. They were likely altered after the regional center in which it is affiliated with lost prominence, by a conquering group, or the Olmecs did this themselves after a ruler died as a sacrifice to the gods or animal spirits. The facial features of the heads were people with slanted eyes and large lips. Many have argued over whether the Olmecs were of African or Asia descent, because of these facial features. Others believe that this is just an overgeneralization. Most of the heads were deformed, which was likely done at birth for noble children, as the Mayan culture did.
Other motifs in Olmec art consist of jaguars, serpents,monkeys & possible aliens. Many of the art objects show a transition between human and animal figures, which demonstrates a connection between the two. Most sculptures were made of jade, which was also not found in the Olmec region. This must have been traded from an outside location. Because we found them all over the world.
Maddness
December 15th, 2008 at 6:16 am
rico–"robot" or "cyborg"??? watched a show on NATGEO just last night about that very thing…
being one who does NOT have a scientific mind, i'm sure i do not grasp a full understanding or appreciation…
why would robots have a need to appeal to God??? much less have the capacity to do so???? "cyborg-netics" is human experimentation..and that makes me squirm…though i DO understand that there are medical benefits that renders the need for this kind of research …speaking solely for myself, i still can't help but wonder if certain areas of that scientific community don't believe in God, because they are too busy "playing God"…
but, hey!!! that's just me…
…let the insults begin…
December 15th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Cyborgs. I suppose in the widest sense of the word – man plus added bits to make whole – we've been doing it for years, centuries even. Everything from wooden legs to the prosthetic limbs used during the Second War War to Stephen Hawking's eye/cheek muscle-controlled computer to people having certain impalnts that can open doors at distance and control the movement of shapes on a computer screen. The question most ask is, "At what point do I lose my humanity?" The same question was posed in the late 1950's – early 60's when organ transplants became successful. Is the recipient of multiple organs over a period of time the same person they were at birth? What if we use animal parts? Does that person become animal when 50%+ replacement organs, veins, valves etc are from an animal? My answer is no. It's what is in your head/mind that makes us human and 'different'. I've always felt that because we ARE able to use other human parts and animal parts very successfully that is a bit of a giveaway as to our genetic relationships. Almost all mammals are genetically close, barring some so called primitive mammals, and goes to show that we are just animals
albeit self-aware, intelligent and able to build. As someone said, we're the ape that got lucky but we're still apes.
For a robot to appeal to his maker that robot would have to be self aware surely? How does one 'manufacture' self awareness in silicon? That is probably the greatest hurdle to overcome unless such awareness spontaneously appears. Only then would it start to question where it came from and why was it here. It is quite possible that some self aware robots would become believers while others would become atheists.
December 15th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
thank you for your insight, paul!!!!!
December 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Thats good, but my hypothetical question is:
Upon technology reaching the ability to create a sentient self aware artificial intelligence. After a while if not sooner, this being would understand that man may have been its creator but would it consider man its God or would it look towards mans God. I imagine there would be some oppression being that a being as such would literally be connected to the W.W.W. and would have to be kept in check.
But should this being desire to "Pray" to mans God would God hear his prayer or would it be as if an animal was praying so to speak.
I'm not so sure that using todays theology as put forth Biblically this being would not be considered "man" and some would take offense to having this robot even mention mans God.
Its my opinion. Prejudice seems to be a part of mans emotional inheritance for some reason.
This is all a real possibility in the very near future for as Paul said, they've been researching this for many many years and I'm sure there have been many breakthroughs.
Its hard to imagine a machine that thinks like man virtually and perpetually connected to the web. It would know everything plus.
Scary thought.
-R-
December 16th, 2008 at 6:23 am
rico–i am not a "bible thumper", but if one believes in God, and creation, and God creating man "in his own image", then these machines would not be of God's creation, but man's…we are instilled with a soul, conscience, instinct and free will…and it is real hard for me to grasp the concept of these qualities being duplicated or replicated into a machine…it may very well know everything, but it still must be "taught"..
i do not know how it could expericence "gut feelings", or instinctive behavior, or a true sense of right and wrong…
as to who or what it would call it's God??? damn, rico–i don't know…i imagine it could be taught to believe in a God, but would it experience the true essence of that belief???
or is it just a "learned behavior"??? would it be entitled to call my God, it's God????
ya got me, rico!!!!! i really don't know…
December 16th, 2008 at 6:52 am
just an afterthought—does "appearance" account for anything??? as limited as my knowledge is, appearance-wise, they have a l-o-o-n-g ways to go before they start taking on human form…they got robots that can walk–but it don't look human to me…
December 18th, 2008 at 1:27 am
The thing about this 2012 business that bothers me is that naysayers have a tendency of sounding as though Earth is somehow privileged with exemption from all unexpected-planetary-catastrophe-and-change. We obviously know that isn't true, it hasn't been true in this planet just as it hasn't been true in others that we know of. This is quite a meaty comment page so I'm not sure I'll get through everything, but I will admit that the whole hubub of it has gotten me a wee bit nervous. Nevertheless, I certainly don't think 2012 means the end of the world is just around the corner. But, you know, it could happen – I guess. I think it's probably irrelevant though, if it does happen it happens and if it doesn't then I guess I can go back to recycling. And stuff.
December 18th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I think you're confusing what you call naysayers regarding the catastrophies that befall the earth and those of us who think that all the fuss about the alleged 2012 catastrophy is garbage. We know the earth is hit regularly by asteroids, meteorites, that over geological time the earth suffers tremendousglobal volcanic eruptions such as the Siberian Traps etc. It's just that the tying in of the end of the Mayan calendar with two totally ficticious events i.e. the geomagnetic reversal and the return of Niburu/Planet X is an act of such breathtaking audacity that it has received the bashing it thoroughly deserves. This non-event is nothing to worry about because it is a piece of fiction that you would be hard pressed to find in even a badly written science fiction novel. The foregoing does not of course preclude some out-of-the-blue event happening but it will not be/was never foretold.
December 18th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Paul, as the idiot that I am would say:
Not for nothing, but by saying that nothing is going to happen 2012 realated to the mayan calendar is in fact like saying that something is going to happen.
You cannot with any scientific certainty much such claims.
To say that you KNOW FOR SURE, is an impossible statement in itself dude.
Just pointing that out. There are extremist in this discussion. I want you Paul, to understand that you are an extremist also. Just on the other side.
They should pay us for this crap.

Dear Ricochet,
Too true….we are all just entertainment value.
Be well, Leah
December 19th, 2008 at 6:29 am
Yes Rico, something will definitely happen in 2012. There could well be another tsunami, devastating earthquake, volcanic eruption, another financial crash, the overthrow of any unstable government but then these happen all the time when viewed over the span of time. None have been predicted by ancient civilisations. Neither have 'modern' scientists etc predicted them with any degree of certainty. What one can do is say these things will happen and happen repeatedly. But as for tying them to even a general date let alone a specific time is a non-runner I'm afraid. Everybody knows that the San Andreas Fault and the Anatolian Fault will slip and possibly sooner rather than later but it could well be later. I don't know of any scientist or 'knowledgeable person who would put theri reputation on the line by specifying a time. When vulcanologist knew that Mt. Pinatubo was going to blow they put out a warning and when it failed to go off they were ridiculed and people moved back. A few days later it exploded killing many villagers. Guess what? The vulcanologists got tyhe blame for not giving a 'proper' warning. We scientists can't win.
December 19th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
ricochet, by claiming that something will happen on dec 12, 2012 because the mayan calendar ends places the burden of proof on the one claiming that something will happen. thus, when they provide evidence, such as the mayan calendar ending and the certainty that a magnetic shift will happen because of it, the author is allowed to refute the claim, which is what he did. he did not assert that nothing will happen on that date, just that the proof of polar wander happening simply because of the mayan calendar is insufficient and fallacious evidence.
also, on the point of extremism – what do you mean by this? do you really mean fundamentalist? do you mean it in the pejorative sense? this statement needs qualifying because using ad hominem to refute evidence is fallacious and insulting.
December 20th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Daniel. If you've read any of the preceding mails you'll just how extreme some of the doom-sayers are. They're completely deranged. You almost get the impression they're actually wanting something catastrophic to happen so they can shout they were right all along.
December 20th, 2008 at 10:06 am
GORDY!!!!! WELCOME BACK—how i've missed you!!!!!
i appears to me that we are talking apples and oranges…when you consider "realms of posibilities" VS undisputed scientic facts, it opens the door to a much broader perspective…that's all—not really lunacy at all…just a different perspective…
and paul made a very valid point…"we scientists can't win"…that is quite the dilemma, when you stop and think about it…
but it does not stop or deter you from doing what you do best….you keep examining the evidence, right?????
i, on the other hand, am just watching waiting for more….and that by no means should be confused with "WANTING SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC TO HAPPEN"…quite the contrary!!!!
hope all is well !!! please take care…

Rico,
That scenario is scary indeed….
When such an Artificial Intelligence is linked to a Knowledge Database like WWW. The possibilities are limitless. And if the Androids develop "Greed", then its not so hard to imagine what they might do..
Seems like a scenario from a Bad Science Fiction.. But the rate at which Science and Technology are progressing, the line between Fact and Fiction is very thin indeed…
There is an Android developed in Canada, named Aiko and dubbed "The Perfect Woman"… She even reacts to different emotions…
Scientists may rubbish the fears of "Losing Jobs" or "Robots taking over the world".. But i think the fears are justified… Because there is no such thing as "Perfection", and loopholes are the rule, not the exception when it comes to technology…

I used to like coming in here everyday and sharing ideas and such. But then we got invaded by people like Daniel. They came in here and instead of posting anything even closely resembling the subject matter they spouted garbage.
I hardly come in anymore and I see Daniel there telling me I have to prove this and that.
Daniel, I don't know wether or not you understand chat lingo but just in case – STFU-
Paul, many things can happen and indeed will between now and 2012.
The calendar obviously points to an end date that coincides with an extraordinary planetary allignment that occurs every 26,000 years.
Now, as far as I know there is no written history dating 26,000 years ago so no one knows what happens during this allignment.
Maybe nothing maybe something. According to Maya "legends" writings, there will be an end and a new beginning.
I didn't mean any insult by calling anyone an extremist.
But there are a slew of really annoying people in these threads that just stand around saying that "they know" nothing is going to happen and if you put forth an opinion they ask for proof. This is a forum not a court of law. Unreal.
If you take the stand that "Obviously nothing is going to happen" then you are just as much a zealot as those that claim something will happen.
No one really knows shit. We all speculate.
Lets get these Holidays overwith, theyre very depressing.
Happy New Years to all of you!!

Gordy,
I don't wether or not you believe in God and frankly I don't care.
Regardless if you do or don't you should look into religions. Their origin and the description of their gods.
Understand that these religions have been around for millenia. It doesn't matter that an insignificant little man like you or anyone comes around for around 80 years or so and disregards religious knowledge.
We are not qualified to disregard religious knowledge. It should be studied and analyzed to determine the origin of the God concept on earth.
Gordy, I'm afraid you're right. I am deranged.
I'm what the Christian religion considers "lost".
There's a saying:
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
You need to think about a sudden Polar Shift due to Earth changing its axis.
This will surely make everyone here religious.

I think Pauls been doing some heavy reading and hasn't really told us what he's found.

Hi Rico!
I agree entirely with your points here.. But i have stopped arguing since long, because its futile. We know what we believe, and it doesn't matter what others think about it.
Healthy argument is always okay, but as you know, things got a bit awkward here with people stonewalling themeselves…
And you get tagged as a doomesday prophet for having an open-minded and speculating upon the possibilities of a unique event…
Anyways, that doesn't bother us , does it Bro??
Wish you a safe, happy and propserous New Year, and the same to all my other friends here!!!

Hey Amit,
I know, its just that like I said I hadn't come in here for a while and when I came in today I see that post by Daniel.
I think he has like some kind of referree syndrome. Spouting ordinances that don't exist.
It's getting scary out there man. That Israel bombing Gaza is getting really really old.
Sleep well,

Yes Rico, its scary and sad… Israel has stepped up the ante… And add to it, the tension growing between India and Pak. I hope it does not develop into another World War!
December 29th, 2008 at 7:04 am
…and the thread springs to life once again!!!!!
rico, it is SO GOOD to hear from you…and, amit–you, as always….
scary, scary times, indeed…now is truly the time for "watching and waiting"…
if EVER there was a time for "well-being" for ALL, THIS IS IT!!!!!
PLEASE, stay safe, and be well—thank you, leah!!!!!

Aw Rico. Ya had to come back and spoil everything. Just when it looked as though we could read some reasoned, thoughtful postings in you come and spout your usual bullshit. Ya fucking drongo, you're a waste of protoplasm
December 29th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Gordo, dude, you really need to lay offa that Kangaroo meat bro! That shit'll kill ya!!
I'm going to ask you a simple question Gordo. This is really simple, even a simpleton like you can answer if he really wanted to.
Where did Kings and Queens originate?
I mean, there are still Royals in certain countries which I will not mention. But what makes these people special? Why are they different from everyone one else? How come you can't be a King
