Holocene Impact Update



Scientists have found what they call "the smoking gun" in Holocene impact research: evidence of Clovis-age comets confirming Holocene catastrophe, Democritus's worlds in collision, and Plato's Timaeus.

An electromagnetic, musical universe. Marvelous.

Like you GF, I also immerse myself in music. Been playing guitar and singing since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper. I find it very spiritual and calming. Plus new studies show those who play music are less likely to develop Alzheimers.

If you're in the Calgary area check out the Calgary Philharmonic's show called The Planets. I missed it but my wife went and said it's fantastic.

Interesting read dark beaver ....The site you gave above has some bizzare yet very thought proviking stuff man ... Still studying plasma in space .. along with how low an oil well can go...Very interesting !..

YouTube - The Planets - Listen In - That would be a great show to go see..! Wonder What key the universe plays in ?..If not all....Does it go along with the Humm of the Cosmic microwave background? ..lol

I'm currently working on new tunes now... Just a bit heavier !.... I like lots of electric guitar and strong vocals .. lol.. ;-):lol: .. but gotta respect it all ..

As has often been pointed out, by definition the uniformitarian creed precludes the very real possibility of rare and radical changes in nature. Since the late 19th century, most geologists have fondly embraced the adage of the British lawyer and geologist, Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875): ‘The present is the key to the past.’ Its naïve implication is that all phenomena that ever happened in nature still occur today and can be observed. Historical evidence is valuable precisely because it offers an even better key to the past than present-day analogues: eye-witness accounts.

A prime application of the historical method concerns the colour of Sirius A or α Canis Majoris, the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius appears bright white today, but – as the English amateur astronomer, Thomas Barker (1722-1809), first pointed out in 1760 – was emphatically qualified as red in many classical texts. Poetical passages aside, Seneca commented that Sirius was of a deeper red than Mars, while Ptolemy labeled the star “reddish” and grouped it with five other stars, all of which are indeed of red or orange aspect.

Even as late as the 6th century CE, the Gallo-Roman chronicler, Gregory of Tours, could label the Dog Star rubeola or ‘reddish’. It is claimed that the earliest unambiguous reference to Sirius as a white star is found in the pages of the Persian astronomer, ‘Abd al-Raḥman al-Sufī (903-986 CE).

What to make of all this? The paradox has sparked a prolonged and fairly intense debate, which has led to a fair number of publications, including Noah Brosch’s recent book Sirius Matters (2008). The evasive explanation that Sirius’s red traced to a simple textual error is easily refuted by the eminent authority of Ptolemy and Seneca as well as the observation that the same attribution is attested in a number of other cultures. For example,

The “Dunes” of Victoria Crater

NASA scientists call them “sand dunes.” But in the electrical interpretation, the extraordinary complex of ridges and valleys at the center of Victoria Crater on Mars points back to the same event that produced the crater itself.

In a previous picture of the day, we noted that the sharply sculpted “cookie-cutter” form of Victoria crater defies explanation as an impact depression. Taking inspiration from Wallace Thornhill’s insights on the formative process, we suggested that laboratory experiments with short-lived electric arcs (called 'sparks') to an anode (positively charged surface) offer the best explanation for the crater’s distinctly scalloped cliff walls.

Victoria Crater on Mars

Sharply scalloped walls, together with cleanly cut ridges and valleys on its floor, make Mars’ Victoria crater an ideal test of the electric discharge model of crater formation.

The image above was taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It shows “Victoria crater,” whose features can only deepen the growing mysteries of cratering patterns on Mars. It certainly does not look anything like the effect of an impact event, but that is the interpretation given it by NASA. The NASA release, though referring to “a distinctive scalloped shape to its rim,” can only explain this remarkable configuration in terms of “erosion and downhill movement of crater wall material.”

But look at the high-resolution image here. The required debris along the base of the cliffs is simply not there. Direct observation suggests that the sharply scalloped walls are a pristine record of the original causative event.

When questions of theory and interpretation arise, the most compelling answer will be the one that is based on observational fact and can account for essential features left unexplained by alternatives. Electric Universe proponent Wallace Thornhill has recently examined NASA’s reports on Victoria crater. His analysis

We seem to be able to get close up shots of almost ever planet in fine digital detail ..As above pics show.Why are there no close up shots taken by satelites, of materials left by apollo astronauts on the moon..?.

Google Moon - google moon shows locations ..Why not real footage of areas?..

To view A real live human artifact left on the moon would be cool!

The problem is that the tiniest little detail taken through the biggest and best telescope, including Hubble, is probably a few kilometers across.

True enough juan ..However it is amazing how close Google earth can zoom in on the earth ..Be sure to close your blinds !..:)

DiscoveryChannel.ca | Schedule -- Show on discovery channel tonight 8:00pm - " ARE WE ALONE ?" ... Always interesting stuff!

There are those in NASA who reckon that some Earth satellites could read a newspaper on the ground. You might want to close your blinds....Depending what you're doing..;-)

They can identify a individual, read a heat signature in a building. never mind closing blinds, jump into a refrigator..
