Researchers suggest: Humans are not from Earth
Researchers suggest: Humans are not from Earth
April 29, 2015- Many researchers have come to the conclusion that human beings are not from Earth.
After a balloon came back from a high altitude flight, it was covered with microscopic life forms that originated from space fueling debate about whether life on earth began here or elsewhere in space.
Other scientists have argued that life originated on Mars due to a mineral found in Martian meteorites, a concept that is crucial for the genesis of life. Another experiment showed that amino acids could have arrived with comet impacts, suggesting life could be widespread in our solar system.
A new book by American ecologist Dr. Ellis Silver – Humans are not from Earth looks at things differently. The author argues that humans may not be “natives” to Earth – and may have arrived separately from elsewhere. Silver provides arguments based on human physiology, suggesting that we have not evolved along with other life forms on Earth, but that we actually come from elsewhere in the universe, brought here by extraterrestrial beings tens of thousands of years ago.
Does this sound crazy or provocative? Does it go against your beliefs? It should actually. We have to start looking at things in a different way if we want to understand our purpose and origin, and that is exactly what Silver, an environmentalist who is currently working in an effort to clean plastic waste in the Pacific ocean, wants to achieve, provoking a discussion among scientists. Silver has argued that his book is based on scientific work approaching the difference between humans and other animals.
“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.
Silver believes that some of the chronic diseases that affect the human race – such as back pain, could be a very important sign that suggests that humans actually evolved in a world with less gravity. Silver also talks about other unique human traits, like the fact that the heads of babies are relatively large that women have difficulty giving birth, in the past, this was often fatal for the mother, child or both.
Silver argues that no other native species on earth has this issue, pointing to the 223 extra genes in humans, genes that are not found in any other species.
Silver believes that the human race has “serious flaws” that are evidence pointing towards the fact that we are not from this world.
“We are all chronically ill,” says Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”
“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”
The book itself is interesting, but we have to look back at recent research in different fields that suggests that there is something anomalous in the human species. Many hidden links in the DNA could well suggest we are a species that was engineered or programmed.
There are numerous possibilities about our origins. In his book, Silver suggest that one of those possibilities might actually be Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to the sun.
Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right”.
“My thesis,” says Silver “proposes that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.”
The debate about human origins is widespread and it is a discussion that has intensified in recent years. Simulation from supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US found that amino acids, the building blocks of life, could have reached Earth via comets or meteors, suggesting that there could be life on other planets and moons in or solar system, and even beyond.
The most compelling evidence that points toward UFO's being not what they seem when they already draw a big enough question mark lies in the vague and illusive accounts of diabolical operations, sudden deaths, and government secrecy. History is not always what it seems, and especially not as it has been in the books all the time either. The following is ground I have covered in the past with a twist on interpretation. it may be that this version of the events may indeed be the final explanation.
Persistence of memory
Since the beginning of time man has been plagued by evil spirits, strange encounters with mysterious entities some might call angels while others might see these as demons, but whatever the case, these encounters cannot be dismissed. Where there is smoke there is fire. From the beings who dwell in dark trees in Africa to the shape shifters of the American Indian legend, the demonic connection seems undeniable.
An actor weighs in
Mark E. Laughlin an evangelic actor and radio host has shed some interesting light on the subject revealing that the new push for the DNA manipulation of humans and cross splicing with other species to produce anything from super soldiers to long term space explorers is being conducted in secret facilities as we speak. Deemed unethical by law, this has not stopped the unscrupulous scientific community from pursuing their hidden agenda under defense contracts and other government funded programs.
Misapplied science
Laughlin theorizes that super beings will begin to emerge as products of these DNA manipulations that have already created soldiers with bullet proof skin due to being merged with spider DNA whose strong web fabricating characteristics coupled with human flesh produce tissue impervious to bullets! This will be only the beginning as evil surges forth to distract man from worship with God to a fascination with immortality and super human being powers that seem God-like. Yet, this will only lead to hell on earth unleashing more immoral conduct and the idolatry of vain and ruthless people who crave money and power at any cost.
Ultimate motive
Why is it that aliens supposedly are so obsessed with taking human DNA and tissue samples? They obtain these through the incubus-like medical experiments aboard their space ships, right? John A. Keel in his books “Operation Trojan Horse” and “Creatures From Time and Space” commented that the percipients or contactees involved in these abductions may very well be hypnotized and only be imagining these events without being transported anywhere at all. It all simply happens in their head just like demonic possession. Has the age old icon of the ancient mysticism of evil merely altered its appearance to become technologically relevant in today's world?
A tragic consequence
According to Anthony F. Sanchez's book “UFO Highway” we get a detailed alternative history about the discovery of supposed aliens who have inhabited secret caverns of the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico for perhaps centuries. Sanchez in the making of his book experienced traumatic personal consequences to his literary labor that seem like something out of bad luck, or a counter intelligence operation aimed at him for uncovering inconvenient truths that the government did not want revealed to the public. Upon writing a series of articles recounting the events in Anthony's book, I too must admit that my own personal life took a turn for the worse and has been changed forever. So, I must say that I realize the pain and suffering Mr. Sanchez went through in the pursuit of his work.
A history known by few
In 1942, according to his book (UFO Highway) Sanchez tells us of a secret operation undertaken by a joint effort of the US Army, Army Air Corps, and Los Alamos nuclear authorities. A secret expedition was formed and deployed in the Archuleta Mesa area in search of a concealed region where the findings made on Atomic experiments could be discreetly weaponized in an effort to shorten the ongoing conflict of Word War II that was raging at the time. It was clear that after the Manhattan Project in Chicago and the secret move to Los Alamos, New Mexico to further undertake the creation of the first thermo nuclear warfare, the United States was forced to do so knowing full well and good that the Germans were hot on the trail of creating their own Atomic device.
A race to oblivion
It would be a deadly race to complete the dooms day devices as the Germans had already utilized the published findings of Dr. Robert Goddard in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the 20's and 30's that had been ignored by the US military. With the V-2 rockets well underway Germany already had a delivery platform, all they lacked was the nuclear warhead they would inevitably produce. Using captured Jewish prisoners as slave laborers without any shielding against deadly radioactivity, the Nazis were fast approaching a terrible fruition to their experiments. A feverish race between the super powers was on as a deadly global war raged in all hemispheres of the world!
Classified
The stage was set for a desperate operation requiring all the resources that the US government could secretly muster while fighting a two ocean war. Already there had been unsettling discoveries that had sent shock waves through US intelligence and military high command. A supposed UFO crash in 1941 in at Cape Girardeau. The testimony by a close friend of Secretary of State Cordell Hull that an alien specimen had been stored and preserved in an underground basement below the White House as early as 1938, were two earth shattering events kept compartmentalized within the military intelligence community. What seemed to be crashed alien crafts could only be speculated as the actual crash was never witnessed though the evidence had certainly been planted.
A timeless conflict
The question in all this remains. Who or what could have planted this evidence, and for what reason? The diabolical interpretation of this chain of events in itself seems to lend itself to a battle between good and evil going on here today on a global scale and it is as much spiritual as it is on a physical plain as we are now seeing unspeakable death and cruelty happening in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa as well as here at home. One might think very clearly when assessing the true reason behind terrorism and that its roots of hatred can be traced back thousands of years to Biblical times. As predicted in the Bible one might see that this region will always be in eternal conflict for no constructive purpose other than to satisfy the evil designs of one fallen angel who will use every power of deception at his disposal until the final hours of earth, as we know it, are upon us.
Removing God
Few people today, easily led by the collectivism of big government and the immoral influence of the media, realize that dark forces are coming together that will reduce civilization into a morbid stage of lust, destruction, famine, disease, and inhumanity to man in an apocalypse that is approaching with little chance of it being averted unless people realize and ask God for his help. Until that time, which seems unlikely, war and pestilence will reign and the fools will merely accept more and more of it desensitized to the horror of it all by constant news, propaganda, and the influence of evil. You can consider that it is already here, and that with the horrors of ISIS, some people are actually denying that the atrocities exist.
Progress really?
However, 1942 was a different and more innocent era. Although the horrors of war had emerged still most people were relatively innocent or naive compared to the hip culture of today hardened by the images of the Internet and satellite TV, influenced in to being able to just about accept anything with beheadings being showcased for all to see, sex readily available, and the insults to our sense of decency that have come with it. As opposed to 1942, the world is rapidly heading toward critical mass, a point of no return, and the fools we call political leaders are allowing our society to spiral out of control with their wicked pursuit of a godless existence that will allow anything to take place even men dressed in women's clothing displaying their genitals to your little daughters as they use a restroom or locker rooms in school! In 1942, this would have been considered evil and perverted yet we are today to think of this as civilized!
In Part VI will see the results of an expedition that stumbles on something unprecedented near Dulce, New Mexico.
Extra information about the article:
Is there really a difference between supposed alien entities or demons?
Experiencers unlock years of hidden secrets in a new book written by veteran Canadian journalist and author Bob Mitchell. Four people, including a Deaf Experiencer, tell their harrowing stories of Alien abduction and visitation for the first time.
Their horrific tales include encounters with Greys, Mantids, Shadow People and Troll-like entities. With many of their accounts told in present tense their stories will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they experience their terror, their horror, and in some case their wonderment.
Mitchell was a crime reporter and sports writer for nearly 35 years for The Toronto Star before leaving the newspaper in 2013 to pursue other interests. Intrusion-Alien Encounters is his sixth book. Books are available at AMAZON.COM and AMAZON.CA and bobmitchellwriter.wordpress.com.
One of the most documented and believable cases in UFOlogy is the experience of one woman’s abduction aboard a UFO.
Her name is Betty Andreasson Luca who is a devout Christian. During her abduction, she was taken before a being of intense light and love called "the One." This description of this being is remarkably similar to descriptions of the so-called "Being of Light" encountered in near-death experiences.
Her first abduction occurred during her childhood and culminated with an abduction experience that involved her whole family. Led by a number of teams of highly-credentialed investigators, her experience is one of the most thoroughly investigated cases ever reported in the annals of hypnotherapy.
Raymond Fowler is also the author of the book The Watchers and his excellent follow-up book The Watchers II: Exploring UFOs and the Near Death Experience (more about The Watchers).
The Abduction of Betty Andreasson Luca On the evening of January 25, 1967, Betty Andreasson was in her kitchen at South Ashburnham, Massachusetts. Her seven children, mother, and father were in the living room.
At about 6:35 p.m., the house lights suddenly blinked out for a moment. Then, a pulsating reddish-orange light shined in the kitchen window. Betty calmed the frightened children while her father rushed to look out the kitchen window. He saw a group of strange-looking small creatures approaching with a hopping motion. Five small humanoid creatures entered the house, passing right through the wooden door.
Betty’s family was immediately placed into suspended animation. One creature went over to her father. The leader of the other four established telepathic communication with Betty.
The leader was about five feet tall.
The others were about four feet tall. All had large pear-shaped heads, wide catlike wraparound eyes, and diminutive ears and noses. Their mouths were immobile slits that reminded Betty of scar lines. Each wore a coverall blue uniform adorned with a Sam Browne-type belt. An insignia of a bird was affixed to their sleeves. Their hands had three digits. (Later, on the craft, they were gloved.) They wore boot-like attire on their feet. They floated rather than walked.
Betty’s initial fright was immediately calmed by an overpowering sense of friendship. When she displayed concern for her family’s welfare, the creatures temporarily released her eleven-year-old daughter, Becky, from this strange state of unawareness to assure Betty that she was all right.
Then Betty was taken outside and brought on board a small craft resting on the side of a hill that sloped into the back yard. The machine was about twenty feet in diameter. It looked like two saucers, one inverted upon the other, with a small superstructure on top. The small craft accelerated and apparently merged with a larger parent craft, in which Betty was subjected to the effects of strange equipment and a physical examination. Then she was taken to an alien place and given a bizarre object lesson that caused her to undergo a painful yet ecstatic religious-like experience.
Later that night, a 10:40 p.m., Betty was returned home by two of her alien captors. At home, she found her family still in a state of suspended animation. One being had stayed behind to watch over them during her absence. Then the beings put the family - still under some type of mind control - to bed, and the aliens left.
Several times, the aliens had told Betty that certain things had been locked in her mind. She was instructed to forget them and her UFO experience until the appointed time. She consciously remembered only a fraction of the strange encounter; the power failure, the colored light flashing through the window, and the aliens entering the house.
Betty, a devout Christian, interpreted the creatures as religious or angelic in nature. The subject of UFOs was largely unknown to her. Her education had been limited to ten years of schooling, her basic interests included family, church, and community-related activities. Not until much later did she think of her experience as a possible UFO encounter.
In 1975, Betty responded to a local newspaper story about UFO researcher Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was soliciting personal UFO experience information from the public. Betty’s letter contained such few data, however, that it was filed and forgotten until an investigation in January 1977.
The investigating team consisted of:
a solar physicist
an electronics engineer
an aerospace engineer
a telecommunications specialist
a UFO investigator
They employed the services of a professional hypnotist and a medical doctor trained in psychiatry. During a twelve-month investigation, they conducted an extensive character-reference check, two lie-detector tests, a psychiatric interview, and fourteen lengthy hypnotic regression sessions. Under hypnosis, Betty and her daughter relived a consistent, detailed UFO experience with genuine physiological reactions.
Their three-volume, 528-page report led to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable and sane individuals who sincerely believed the experience had really occurred.
Her Experience With the Being of Light The following are the exact transcripts from her hypnotic regression when Betty was regressed to her childhood during one of her first abduction experiences and her encounter with the One.
Betty’s words are in blue. The hypnotherapist’s words are in black.
We’re coming up to this wall of glass and a big, big, big, big, big door. It’s made out of glass. Does it have hinges? No. It is so big and there is - I can’t explain it. It is door after door after door after door. He (the alien leading her) is stopping there and telling me to stop. I’m just stopping there. He says: "Now you shall enter the door to see the One." And he says, "Fear not."
[Then Betty appeared to undergo an out-of-body experience!]
And I’m standing there and I’m coming out of myself! There’s two of me! There’s two of me there! Are you looking at yourself? Uh, huh. Okay. Do you see the One yet? The One? No. Okay, go on. I’m coming up to the door, and the little person is saying: "Now you shall enter the Great Door and see the glory of the One." And I’m standing face to face with that door.
[Betty now stood before the strange door. Again she described its appearance and her out-of-body experience.]
There’s a big door there, and it is big, but it is strange. It is like deeper and deeper and deeper. And it’s bright, really bright. And I have to stand before the door. But, before that, I came out of myself. I was just standing over there, and I was standing over here. There were two of me, but that one over there was stiff. Have you tried to talk to your other self? That won’t work, because I’m over here, and that one is over there. She looks exactly like you? Is she making motions to show you she is alive, like breathing, moving her arms? No. Would you say she looks like a wax museum piece or something? No, it looks just like me. All right, go on. I was told to come forward. I went in the door, and it’s very bright. I can’t take you any further. Why? Because. What do you mean, because? I can’t take you past this door. Okay, I’ll tell you what. You go past that door alone then for a few minutes, okay?
[Time and again, the hypnotist tried in different ways to induce Betty to tell him what was behind the door - all in vain.]
Sometime maybe, if you change your mind, would you tell me? I can’t change my mind. It is set. What would happen to you if you did tell me? I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. Okay, let’s proceed to the first thing you can tell me. Fair enough? Oh!
[Betty’s face glows with joy]
What’s happening now? I’m coming out of that door, and it was wonderful! Did the One say something exciting? I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. Would you say that the One was God? Do you really know what God is? I don’t know. I was hoping that you had seen him and could therefore tell me. I can’t tell you about that. Okay, let’s proceed. What’s happening now? You just came out of the room, and you feel great. I come out of the door, and there is a tall white-haired man standing there and he’s got on a long nightgown.
[The next session took place on May 15, 1980. Determined to find out what lay behind the Great Door, the hypnotist again brought Betty back in time to where she was standing before it.]
Where are you? I’m before this huge great big door. It’s glass. Layers and layers of glass. What are you standing on? Glass. Let me ask you now: You’re going to see the One now, right? Yeah. Why are you going to see the One? Because it is time for me, they said, for me to go home to see the One. All right, in other words, does this imply that the One is someone that you have seen before? I don’t remember. Okay. Do you know why it is time to see the One? Why haven’t you asked questions? They haven’t been there very often. Those little people haven’t been there very much for me to ask. Yeah, but they are asking you to do a lot of things, shall we say. I know. But, I’m in their place. I can’t do anything. Okay. In a moment you’re going to see the One, right? We don’t want to waste the experience. We want to get the most out of it. So when you see the One, I want you to ask yourself: "What am I getting out of this? Why am I here? And, what will this mean to me later on in my life?" It’s like any big experience a person is allowed to have. Okay? I want you to progress to where the door is open and you are seeing the One. Oh!
[At that very moment, an indescribable smile came over Betty’s face. The only adjective that the investigators could think of to describe it is rapturous. This expression of pure, unrestricted happiness remained on Betty’s face as the hypnotist continued to question her.]
You seem happy. Why are you so happy? It’s just - ah, I just, I can’t tell you about it. All right. I know you can’t tell me, but I want you to do a few things. I want you to ask yourself why you are being shown that which you are being shown. In other words, you weren’t given this trip just for a free ride, so to speak. They want you to see what you are seeing. Does that make sense? Yes. All right. Now that you’re there, ask yourself: "What am I getting out of this? Why am I here? What am I supposed to think about after I leave here?" Oh, it matters not what I get from it. What do you mean? It’s - words cannot explain it. It’s wonderful. It’s for everybody. I just can’t tell you this. You can’t? Okay, why can’t you? For one thing, it’s too overwhelming and it is - it is indescribable. I just can’t tell you. Besides it’s just impossible for me to tell you. All right. Are you capable, when looking around you, to tell yourself? I see it. Right. That which you can see, you have a grasp of even if you don’t understand it. I understand it. I’m sorry. I’m just sorry. I wish I could share it with you. Were you told not to share it with me? It is like even if I was able to speak it, I wouldn’t be able to speak it. I can’t. I’m sorry. Were you specifically told not to speak it? Partly, yeah. How was it expressed to you? I can’t tell you those things. I’m sorry. All right. Can we let the beings speak through you? Suppose you just relax, and I’ll put my hand on your shoulder and with each number you will go deeper and deeper. When I reach three, you will just relax and allow the beings to speak through you. One, two, three.
[Betty began speaking in a strange tongue.]
Okay, Betty, can you explain to me so that I could understand what you have just said?
[Betty begins crying]
Father loves the world so very much. Yes? And so many reject him. Uh huh, okay. You said a lot of words. Can you explain more of what you said? They will be felt by those who believe and have faith. They will feel the love radiating from them. Okay, where are you now? I’m where there is light. And what do you see? I cannot tell you this. Okay, that’s all right. Let me ask you. Do you feel much love, the same love, or any different degree of love now than you have before? It’s a greater love. Okay. When will I understand all of the words that the being said through you? When you allow the Spirit to come upon you and you are filled with that love. Do you understand all the words that you have said? I understand them, but they will not come forth. Okay, I’m trying to understand. I’m not trying to ask you to divulge anything, all right? You understand them, but you can’t express them? They’re in my heart. More like a feeling than a concept? They’re in my heart, in my mind, in my body. Okay, could you explain this to your children? What children?
[During this hypnotic session, Betty was regressed to a childhood experience when she was single with no children.]
If you have children someday. The words that you spoke, while they had a message of love in them, did they also have a warning? Yes. Those that do not have love have nothing. Love is the answer.
[Again the hypnotist failed to elicit the information that he sought regarding what Betty had experienced while behind the Great Door. With endless patience, he tried yet again.]
Okay. You’ve seen the One. Do you feel different about anything now than you did before? Everything is so wonderful! Is there anybody that you don’t like? No. There are some people, shall we say, that aren’t as nice as other people, right? No, everybody is nice. They are just growing, that’s all. If one doesn’t understand another one, they are just growing, that’s all. Okay, just relax. You’ve been to see the One and now everything is a little nicer, right? I understand that everything is one. What do you mean? Everything fits together. Everything is one. It’s beautiful! No matter what it is!
We certainly have a lot to discuss regarding this mysterious stone in China called “The Hidden character Stone”
This incredible stone was discovered thanks to a crack that formed in a megalith 500 years ago revealing Chinese characters that read: The Chinese Communist Party Collapses (Zhong Guo Gong Chan Dang Wang). The problem is the age of the rock which according to researchers dates back 270 million years (source).
It is an astonishing discovery of a stone that displays curious patterns on its surface, according to researchers these patterns have been identified as Simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese charters that read: Communist Party of China perish or The Chinese Communist Party Collapses ”
It is one of the main attractions in the Qiannan Pingtang National Geological park. The mystery is its age; dating back at least 270 millions of years to the Permian period. (source)
The stone was discovered in the cleaning process of the Duyun International Photography exposition, and the area has remained isolated and untouched by humans for an incredible period of time. The stone is found in a narrow gap between two cliffs.
Scientists have rushed to the area since 2003 when the first scientific inspection group arrived to study the stone. Scientists that gathered at the mysterious site were from several notable institutions such as the Chinese academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Geosciences and Chinese academy of Sciences.
Researchers were shocked when they found out that the stone was about 270 million years old, form the Permian period and according to scientists like Li Ting-dong, Liu Bao-jun and Li Feng-lin there is no trace of the characters being made by human beings. According to these scientists this is a unique stone and there is nothing like it. The characters that appear to be written on the stone are one square foot.
Some of the mysteries that involve this strange stone is that the characters read from left to right, something that was not practiced at that time and scientists consider that since there is an inclusion of a Simplified character before the CPC. Skeptics have attributed the mysterious formation to the nearby village, saying that it was manufactured to boost the tourism of the area. Yet researchers claim that the inscription dates back hundreds of millions of years given the fact that the geological formation of the region is of that age.
The vice-editor of the People’s Daily, Liang Heng wrote, While on cliffs people may often discover that white clouds may appear to look like dogs, or something looks like a person or a beast, a picture or a chart, however, all such things are restricted by the appearance of the picture.
If today a megalith suddenly can write, speak, carve, develop writing technique, or use political terminology, how are people able to believe that? Do they even dare to believe that? However, facing these two pieces of the split hidden words stone, we have no alternative but to believe.
Researchers were able to determine that “the hidden words stone” actually fell from a mountain cliff near the Zhangbu river valley.
One can easily make out the corresponding dent from where the rock mush have fallen.
So how is it possible that a crack reveals an inscription like this, when researchers place the age of the stone at over 250 millions of years?
Here’s a new video of a stranke flashing lights hovering in the night sky above Magdalena del Mar, a seaside district of the Lima Province in Peru. This paranormal footage was taken on 27th April 2015.
There are deadly sink holes in Judaean Desert swallowing its inhabitants and destroying the land.Sink holes there could appear literally suddenly. Some of these sink holes are part of deeper massive earth holes squirming into deeper parts of the earth and forming bubble upon bubble formations twisting hundreds meters into deep. Other sink holes are not even visible, that is, they are covered on its top with the crust composed of dry sharp soil and dust mixed with rocky salt awaiting you to swallow you when walking over it.

(1-2) From my point of view this sink hole is probably 5-10 metres deep. No subsided soil aroud, appeared suddenly. I have been too afraid to walk closer, hollow and cracking sound emited when stepping around. Could be part of bigger hole..

Warpsnelheid: kunnen we sneller reizen dan het licht?
Warpsnelheid: kunnen we sneller reizen dan het licht?
In de serie Star Trek maakt de U.S.S. Enterprise gebruik van een warpaandrijving om sneller dan het licht te kunnen reizen.
Volgens de zwaartekrachttheorie van Einstein moet het mogelijk zijn om een schip enorme afstanden in minder tijd te laten overbruggen dan licht. De truc zit ‘m niet in het ruimteschip, maar in de ruimte.
Wetenschappers van NASA zijn op dit moment bezig met het ontwikkelen van een test om de mogelijkheid van warpaandrijving en sneller dan het licht reizen te bewijzen. Wellicht is de warpaandrijving uit Star Trek helemaal zo gek nog niet.
Warpbel
Volgens Einsteins theorie kan een object met een massa niet even snel of sneller gaan dan het licht. Maar wat als het object, of in dit geval het ruimteschip, niet door de ruimte beweegt, maar de ruimte om het schip?
Ruimte heeft geen massa en is flexibel. Op basis van het licht van verre sterren kan worden bepaald dat de ruimte steeds verder uitdijt. De verste sterrenstelsels bewegen zich met grote snelheid van de aarde af. Dit is de oorzaak van roodverschuiving, die verklaard kan worden door het dopplereffect. De verst verwijderde sterrenstelsels bewegen zich van de aarde af met een snelheid van 95 procent van de lichtsnelheid.
Aan de hand van de roodverschuiving kan worden bepaald dat de structuur van de ruimte verplaatsbaar is. Natuurkundige Miguel Alcubierre heeft een theorie opgesteld waarbij het schip nooit sneller gaat dan het licht. De ruimte voor het schip wordt namelijk samengetrokken terwijl de ruimte erachter uitdijt. Het schip blijft in de tussentijd in een zogeheten ‘warpbel’.
Sinds de dag dat Alcubierre zijn paper The Warp Drive: Hyper-Fast travel within general relativity in 1994 publiceerde, hebben vele natuurkundigen en sciencefictionschrijvers met zijn theorie gestoeid.
Vacuüm
Om een werkende warpaandrijving te maken moet eerst worden bewezen dat een ‘warpbel’ realiseerbaar is. Dat is precies wat natuurkundige Harold White en een team onderzoekers van het Johnson Space Center van NASA in Texas op dit moment doen.
Volgens de theorie van Alcubierre kun je een warpbel creëren met behulp van negatieve energie of energie die in een vacuüm is ontstaan. Dit proces hangt samen met het Casimireffect, het natuurkundige verschijnsel waaruit blijkt dat een vacuüm geen leegte is, maar gevuld is met elektromagnetische golven die onder invloed staan van kwantumfluctuaties. Door deze golven te vervormen ontstaat negatieve energie, die mogelijk de ruimtetijd vervormt, waarna een warpbel ontstaat.
Om te kijken of de ruimtetijd vervormt schijnen de onderzoekers met twee lasers op zowel een vacuüm als de gewone ruimte. Daarna vergelijken ze de twee stralen met elkaar en als de golflengte van de straal die door het vacuüm is gegaan langer blijkt te zijn (roodverschuiving) weten ze dat ze met een warpbel te maken hebben.
Gaan we binnenkort warp-reizen? “De natuur kan het,” zei White. “De vraag is nu of wij het ook kunnen.”

Heeft NASA per ongeluk een warpveld opgewekt?
Sneller dan het licht: Heeft NASA per ongeluk een warpveld opgewekt?
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft mogelijk per ongeluk een warpveld ontdekt. Ruimteschepen kunnen zo’n warpveld gebruiken om sneller dan het licht te reizen, iets wat tot dusver in het rijk van de sciencefiction thuishoorde.
“Warp speed, Mr. Sulu,” zei kapitein James Kirk van het fictieve sterrenschip USS Enterprise vaak in Star Trek. In de jaren negentig opperde natuurkundige Miguel Alcubierre dat een golf de ruimte voor een ruimteschip in elkaar kan drukken, terwijl de ruimte erachter uit elkaar wordt getrokken. Deze vervorming zou een zogeheten warpbel om het schip creëren.
Door de enorme hoeveelheid energie die nodig is om zo’n warpbel op te wekken, werden de ideeën van Alcubierre nooit in de praktijk gebracht. Harold White van het Johnson Space Center van NASA deed een aantal aanpassingen waardoor de hoeveelheid benodigde energie aanzienlijk werd teruggebracht.
Sneller dan het licht
In het laboratorium experimenteerde NASA met de EmDrive, een motor die zonder brandstof door de ruimte kan bewegen. Toen lasers door de resonantiekamer van de EmDrive schoten, leken sommige laserstralen sneller dan het licht te gaan, zo meldt NASASpaceFlight.com
Als dat zo is kan de EmDrive een warpveld of –bel opwekken. De website Mysterious Universe vond dit commentaar na de tests op een forum: “Dat is de grote verrassing. Het interferentiepatroon in de EmDrive lijkt precies op [dat van] een warpbel. En de wiskunde achter de warpbel komt overeen met het interferentiepatroon dat in de EmDrive is gevonden.”
Om te bewijzen dat het warp-effect niet is veroorzaakt door atmosferische opwarming, moeten wetenschappers de test in een vacuüm doen. Als de resultaten hetzelfde zijn, kan dat betekenen dat de EmDrive een warpveld produceert. En dat kan uiteindelijk leiden tot de productie van een warpdrive.
In het begin van de jaren zeventig werden een jongen en een meisje na een vermissing van drie maanden dood gevonden.
Ze waren bedekt met brandvlekken en de bomen waar ze bij in de buurt werden gevonden, waren aan de bovenkant verschroeid.
Het volgende verhaal is afkomstig van een onderzoeker van B.U.F.O.R.A., een Brits ufo onderzoekscentrum, enigszins vergelijkbaar met MUFON.
Deze man doet dit al een lange tijd en kan zich nog een vreemd geval herinneren uit 1970 toen er een meisje en een jongen waren verdwenen. Ze waren tussen de elf en twaalf jaar oud en afkomstig uit Enfield, ten noorden van Londen:
De kinderen woonden ongeveer een halve kilometer ten noordwesten van het King George de Vijfde waterreservoir. Dit meer is ongeveer drieëneenhalve kilometer lang en iets minder dan 500 meter breed.
De twee kinderen verdwenen in maart 1970 en kwamen in juni van dat jaar weer tevoorschijn. Ze werden dood gevonden bij een groepje bomen, ongeveer een halve kilometer ten noordoosten van het waterreservoir en minder dan 300 meter van een goed verlichte weg.
De politie ging met speurhonden het hele gebied af waar de kinderen hadden gewoond, waren verdwenen en weer tevoorschijn kwamen.
Het lijkt vreemd dat ze zomaar verdwijnen voor drie maanden en dan vervolgens naast een groepje bomen waarvan het leek dat de bovenkant was weg geschroeid, weer opduiken.
De lokale krant in die tijd, de Waltham Forest Guardian Independent, kwam tot de conclusie dat de kinderen niet waren vermoord en schreef onder andere het volgende:
1) Ze stierven aan brandplekken (mogelijke straling of microgolven?). 2) Ze stierven omdat ze te lang werden blootgesteld. 3) Niemand had enig idee wat er gebeurd kon zijn. 4) Hun lichamen werden niet vlakbij elkaar gevonden en één van de schoenen van het meisje ontbrak.
De andere schoen die het meisje nog droeg was helemaal schoon. Er zijn gevallen bekend van UFO’s die dieren hebben aangevallen en gedood waarbij ze brandplekken hebben achtergelaten op de dieren (mogelijke straling).
Het is heel onwaarschijnlijk dat de zon dit soort brandplekken zou hebben veroorzaakt.
UFO’s hangen boven de boomtoppen en de grond en verschroeien de natuurlijke vegetatie op zo’n manier dat er nooit meer iets groeit. Dit is het geval met de bovenkant van de bomen op de plek waar de kinderen werden gevonden.
Weken na de trieste vondst was de politie nog bezig in het gebied. Ze namen grondmonsters mee om te laten analyseren. Ze gingen zelfs zover dat ze delen van de bosjes waar de kinderen werden gevonden, meenamen.
Wanneer je twee stenen uit de lucht laat vallen dan zullen deze niet op dezelfde plek terecht komen. Dit was, zoals gezegd, ook niet het geval met de lichamen van de kinderen.
Ik ben er heilig van overtuigd dat ze in aanraking kwamen met buitenaardse wezens. Ik voel dat ze gestorven zijn onder grote stress en dat ze werden gevonden tijdens een periode dat er zich in dat gebied veel UFO waarnemingen voordeden.
Ik heb zelf in de jaren erna diverse mensen geïnterviewd uit de buurt waar de kinderen waren gevonden. Helaas zonder enig succes want niemand was bereid om te praten en de meesten leken zelfs angstig.
J ’en ai parlé autour de moi. On m’a demandé si j’avais changé de marque de whisky. » Pierre Dauchin n’avait pourtant pas bu dans la nuit du 18 avril. Cet habitant de Liancourt est sûr de ce qu’il a vu. Il en a même rédigé un rapport détaillé, transmis à la gendarmerie de Liancourt. « À 23 h 45, depuis ma propriété de Liancourt sur les hauteurs de la ville, je remarque dans le ciel, côté vallée, à une altitude d’environ 150 mètres, deux lumières mobiles inhabituelles qui, à petite vitesse (moins de 100 km/h), semblent suivre le cours de la Brèche d’amont en aval, c’est-à-dire du Nord vers le Sud. La distance qui m’en sépare est de 800 mètres environ. Le ciel est clair, sans nuages, la température est de 12ºC. Il n’y a pas de vent. Les deux objets volent l’un derrière l’autre. Ils ont la forme d’un triangle équilatéral comportant une petite lumière blanche à chaque sommet », écrit ce dernier dans son courrier.
La gendarmerie enquête
Le phénomène dure sept minutes. Immobiles puis fuyants, les objets évoluent sans bruit. "Depuis ma chambre à l’étage, j’ouvre ma fenêtre pour les observer en évitant les diffractions visuelles du double-vitrage. Pendant plus de deux minutes, je les vois se déplacer. » Puis se séparer. Les trois lumières – deux blanches et une rouge – forment un triangle étrange en face de lui. L’ancien ingénieur est tellement scotché par le spectacle qu’il ne pense même pas à le prendre en photo.
L’ancien conseiller municipal a tout juste le réflexe d’appeler une voisine. «Je lui demande d’observer l’objet dans la direction que je lui indique. Elle le voit, mais, ne portant pas à cette heure ses lunettes de vue, elle n’en distingue que le point rouge qui continue à se déplacer une vingtaine de secondes, s’estompe en direction du plateau d’Ars et disparaît», confie Pierre Dauchin dans sa lettre.
Alors que s’est-il passé dans le ciel de Liancourt cette nuit-là ? À la mairie, personne n’est venue signaler cette apparition nocturne. La brigade de gendarmerie a bien reçu le témoignage de Pierre Dauchin. «C’est le seul. Mais nous prenons au sérieux ce courrier. Les textes nous obligent à faire des investigations après ce genre de signalement. On va se rapprocher de l’aéroport. Cela peut correspondre à un radar météorologique ou autre chose», expliquent les autorités locales, très terre à terre. On est loin du fantasme de l’OVNI de leur côté. «Attention aux drones qui prolifèrent en ce moment», relativise une autre source.
Contacté, le Cercle des suricates de l’Oise, une association d’observateurs du ciel, férus de phénomènes paranormaux, n’est pas surpris. «Selon la description que le témoin en fait, il pourrait s’agir d’un TR3B, un vaisseau qui n’a rien d’extra-terrestre, un avion furtif, un projet caché selon la théorie des complotistes», assure Kevin Rose, le président de l’association.
Si ce dernier n’en a jamais vu « en vrai », il suit de près les explications sur Internet sur le sujet. «Je me demande même si ce genre d’engin ne décolle pas de la base aérienne de Creil», s’interroge Kevin Rose, complètement conquis par le récit crédible du Liancourtois, et persuadé que la défense française pourrait posséder ce type d’avion. Le mystère plane-t-il au-dessus de l’Oise ou dans les têtes ?

Ice on Mars: Mars has belts of glaciers consisting of frozen water

Ice on Mars: Mars has belts of glaciers consisting of frozen water
Mars has distinct polar ice caps, but Mars also has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that underneath the dust there are glaciers composed of frozen water. New studies have now calculated the size of the glaciers and thus the amount of water in the glaciers. It is the equivalent of all of Mars being covered by more than one meter of ice. The results are published in the scientific journal, Geophysical Research Letters.
Several satellites orbit Mars and on satellite images, researchers have been able to observe the shape of glaciers just below the surface. For a long time scientists did not know if the ice was made of frozen water (H2O) or of carbon dioxide (CO2) or whether it was mud.
Using radar measurements from the NASA satellite, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers have been able to determine that is water ice. But how thick was the ice and do they resemble glaciers on Earth?
A group of researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have now calculated this using radar observations combined with ice flow modelling.
Data combined with modelling
“We have looked at radar measurements spanning ten years back in time to see how thick the ice is and how it behaves. A glacier is after all a big chunk of ice and it flows and gets a form that tells us something about how soft it is. We then compared this with how glaciers on Earth behave and from that we have been able to make models for the ice flow,” explains Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson, a postdoc at the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.
Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson explains that earlier studies have identified thousands of glacier-like formations on the planet. The glaciers are located in belts around Mars between the latitudes 300-500 — equivalent to just south of Denmark’s location on Earth. The glaiciers are found on both the northern and southern hemispheres.
From some locations on Mars they have good detailed high-resolution data, while they only have more sparse data from other areas. But by supplementing the sparse data with information about the flow and form of the glaciers from the very well studied areas, they have been able to calculate how thick and voluminous the ice is across the glacier belts.
Could cover the entire planet
“We have calculated that the ice in the glaciers is equivalent to over 150 billion cubic meters of ice — that much ice could cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 meters of ice. The ice at the mid-latitudes is therefore an important part of Mars’ water reservoir,” explains Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson.
That the ice has not evaporated out into space could actually mean that the thick layer of dust is protecting the ice. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low that water ice simply evaporates and becomes water vapour. But the glaciers are well protected under the thick layer of dust.

Cigar-Shaped UFO Hovers Near Mexico Volcano Captured By Live Cam

Cigar-Shaped UFO Hovers Near Mexico Volcano Captured By Live Cam
A mysterious object seen hovering over the mouth of the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico could yet again trigger another round of debate between believers and skeptics on the existence of intelligent alien life.
UFO watcher Scott Waring posted images of the unusual object he described as a cigar-shaped UFO on the website UFO Sightings Daily. He said that he found the anomaly in an archived live cam footage of the volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico.
Although the mysterious object was initially difficult to distinguish, the form became more apparent when the image was enlarged. It appeared as a black oblong-shaped object flying near the clouds. Waring likewise said that it was not the first time that a UFO was spotted in that particular area.
“I have been keeping an eye on this live cam for over five years now and I have reported over 50 UFOs over it since then,” Waring said in a post.
One of these supposed UFO sightings occurred in 2013 and was captured in a video that showed what seemed to be a UFO flying above Popocatepetl volcano. The footage, which depicted a spacecraft approaching the volcano, showed the mysterious vehicle slowing down and turning towards the crater of the mountain, where it descended. The footage was taken on May 30 at 8:30 p.m.
Mutual UFO Network chief photo and video analyst Marc D’Antonio said that this clip could be depicting a meteor that fell over the volcano. He also noted that the path of the object could also be illusory.
“In this case, the object is moving from right to left and appears to be descending, but it is exactly this behavior you see if an aircraft at altitude is heading away from you — this is the consequence of perspective and round Earth,” D’Antonio said.
In 2012, a similar video emerged showing another UFO shaped like a cigar exhibiting the same behavior.
UFO Sightings Daily is a hub for UFO enthusiasts. On Friday, Feb. 13, the website shared another UFO discovery in a video taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) outside the International Space Station (ISS).
Space watchers claimed that the clip, which was posted by YouTube user Streetcap1 online on Thursday and has been dubbed the “Friday the 13th” sighting, could be depicting a UFO. The video has been viewed over 12,000 times since it was first uploaded.

Monster black hole discovered at cosmic dawn
Scientists have discovered the brightest quasar in the early universe, powered by the most massive black hole yet known at that time. The international team led by astronomers from Peking University in China and from the University of Arizona announce their findings in the scientific journal Nature on Feb. 26.
The discovery of this quasar, named SDSS J0100+2802, marks an important step in understanding how quasars, the most powerful objects in the universe, have evolved from the earliest epoch, only 900 million years after the Big Bang, which is thought to have happened 13.7 billion years ago. The quasar, with its central black hole mass of 12 billion solar masses and the luminosity of 420 trillion suns, is at a distance of 12.8 billion light-years from Earth.
The discovery of this ultraluminous quasar also presents a major puzzle to the theory of black hole growth at early universe, according to Xiaohui Fan, Regents’ Professor of Astronomy at the UA’s Steward Observatory, who co-authored the study.
“How can a quasar so luminous, and a black hole so massive, form so early in the history of the universe, at an era soon after the earliest stars and galaxies have just emerged?” Fan said. “And what is the relationship between this monster black hole and its surrounding environment, including its host galaxy?
“This ultraluminous quasar with its supermassive black hole provides a unique laboratory to the study of the mass assembly and galaxy formation around the most massive black holes in the early universe.”
The quasar dates from a time close to the end of an important cosmic event that astronomers referred to as the “epoch of reionization”: the cosmic dawn when light from the earliest generations of galaxies and quasars is thought to have ended the “cosmic dark ages” and transformed the universe into how we see it today.
Discovered in 1963, quasars are the most powerful objects beyond our Milky Way galaxy, beaming vast amounts of energy across space as the supermassive black hole in their center sucks in matter from its surroundings. Thanks to the new generation of digital sky surveys, astronomers have discovered more than 200,000 quasars, with ages ranging from 0.7 billion years after the Big Bang to today.
Shining with the equivalent of 420 trillion suns, the new quasar is seven times brighter than the most distant quasar known (which is 13 billion years away). It harbors a black hole with mass of 12 billion solar masses, proving it to be the most luminous quasar with the most massive black hole among all the known high redshift (very distant) quasars.
“By comparison, our own Milky Way galaxy has a black hole with a mass of only 4 million solar masses at its center; the black hole that powers this new quasar is 3,000 time heavier,” Fan said.
Feige Wang, a doctoral student from Peking University who is supervised jointly by Fan and Prof. Xue-Bing Wu at Peking University, the study’s lead author, initially spotted this quasar for further study.
“This quasar was first discovered by our 2.4-meter Lijiang Telescope in Yunnan, China, making it the only quasar ever discovered by a 2-meter telescope at such distance, and we’re very proud of it,” Wang said. “The ultraluminous nature of this quasar will allow us to make unprecedented measurements of the temperature, ionization state and metal content of the intergalactic medium at the epoch of reionization.”
Following the initial discovery, two telescopes in southern Arizona did the heavy lifting in determining the distance and mass of the black hole: the 8.4-meter Large Binocular Telescope, or LBT, on Mount Graham and the 6.5-meter Multiple Mirror Telescope, or MMT, on Mount Hopkins. Additional observations with the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescope in Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, and the 8.2-meter Gemini North Telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, confirmed the results.
“This quasar is very unique,” said Xue-Bing Wu, a professor of the Department of Astronomy, School of Physics at Peking University and the associate director of the Kavli Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics. “Just like the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe, its glowing light will help us to probe more about the early universe.”
Wu leads a team that has developed a method to effectively select quasars in the distant universe based on optical and near-infrared photometric data, in particular using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and NASA’s Wide-Field Infrared Explorer, or WISE, satellite.
“This is a great accomplishment for the LBT,” said Fan, who chairs the LBT Scientific Advisory Committee and also discovered the previous record holders for the most massive black hole in the early universe, about a fourth of the size of the newly discovered object. “The especially sensitive optical and infrared spectrographs of the LBT provided the early assessment of both the distance of the quasars and the mass of the black hole at the quasar’s center.”
For Christian Veillet, director of the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory, or LBTO, this discovery demonstrates both the power of international collaborations and the benefit of using a variety of facilities spread throughout the world.
“This result is particularly gratifying for LBTO, which is well on its way to full nighttime operations,” Veillet said. “While in this case the authors used two different instruments in series, one for visible light spectroscopy and one for near-infrared imaging, LBTO will soon offer a pair of instruments that can be used simultaneously, effectively doubling the number of observations possible in clear skies and ultimately creating even more exciting science.”
To further unveil the nature of this remarkable quasar, and to shed light on the physical processes that led to the formation of the earliest supermassive black holes, the research team will carry out further investigations on this quasar with more international telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Telescope.

Cold Spot suggests largest structure in Universe: A supervoid 1.3 billion light years across.
In 2004, astronomers examining a map of the radiation left over from the Big Bang (the cosmic microwave background, or CMB) discovered the Cold Spot, a larger-than-expected unusually cold area of the sky. The physics surrounding the Big Bang theory predicts warmer and cooler spots of various sizes in the infant universe, but a spot this large and this cold was unexpected.
Now, a team of astronomers led by Dr István Szapudi of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa may have found an explanation for the existence of the Cold Spot, which Szapudi says may be “the largest individual structure ever identified by humanity.” The researchers report their findings in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
If the Cold Spot originated from the Big Bang itself, it could be a rare sign of exotic physics that the standard cosmology (basically, the Big Bang theory and related physics) does not explain. If, however, it is caused by a foreground structure between us and the CMB, it would be a sign that there is an extremely rare large-scale structure in the mass distribution of the universe.
Using data from Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) telescope located on Haleakala, Maui, and NASA’s Wide Field Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite, Szapudi’s team discovered a large supervoid, a vast region 1.8 billion light-years across, in which the density of galaxies is much lower than usual in the known universe. This void was found by combining observations taken by PS1 at optical wavelengths with observations taken by WISE at infrared wavelengths to estimate the distance to and position of each galaxy in that part of the sky.
Earlier studies, also done in Hawaii, observed a much smaller area in the direction of the Cold Spot, but they could establish only that no very distant structure is in that part of the sky. Paradoxically, identifying nearby large structures is harder than finding distant ones, since we must map larger portions of the sky to see the closer structures. The large three-dimensional sky maps created from PS1 and WISE by Dr András Kovács (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary) were thus essential for this study. The supervoid is only about 3 billion light-years away from us, a relatively short distance in the cosmic scheme of things.
Imagine there is a huge void with very little matter between you (the observer) and the CMB. Now think of the void as a hill. As the light enters the void, it must climb this hill. If the universe were not undergoing accelerating expansion, then the void would not evolve significantly, and light would descend the hill and regain the energy it lost as it exits the void. But with the accelerating expansion, the hill is measurably stretched as the light is traveling over it. By the time the light descends the hill, the hill has gotten flatter than when the light entered, so the light cannot pick up all the speed it lost upon entering the void. The light exits the void with less energy, and therefore at a longer wavelength, which corresponds to a colder temperature.
Getting through a supervoid takes hundreds of millions of years, even at the speed of light, so this measurable effect, known as the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, might provide the first explanation of one of the most significant anomalies found to date in the CMB, first by a NASA satellite called the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), and more recently, by Planck, a satellite launched by the European Space Agency.
While the existence of the supervoid and its expected effect on the CMB do not fully explain the Cold Spot, it is very unlikely that the supervoid and the Cold Spot at the same location are a coincidence. The team will continue its work using improved data from PS1, and from the Dark Energy Survey being conducted with a telescope in Chile to study the Cold Spot and supervoid, as well as another large void located near the constellation Draco.

Explosions of Jupiter’s aurora linked to extraordinary planet-moon interaction
Explosions of Jupiter’s aurora linked to extraordinary planet-moon interaction
In this artist's rendering, flows of electrically charged ions and electrons accelerate along Jupiter's magnetic field lines (fountain-like blue curves), triggering auroras (blue rings) at the planet's pole. Accelerated particles come from clouds of material (red) spewed from volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io (small orb to right). Recent observations of extreme ultraviolet emissions from Jupiter by satellite Hisaki (left foreground) and the Hubble Space Telescope (right) show episodes of sudden brightening of the planet's auroras. Interactions with the excited particles from Io likely also fuel these auroral explosions, new research shows, not interactions with particles from the Sun. Credit: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
On Earth, bursts of particles spewed by the Sun spark shimmering auroras, like the Northern Lights, that briefly dance at our planet’s poles. But, on Jupiter, there’s an auroral glow all the time, and new observations show that this Jovian display sometimes flares up because of a process having nothing to do with the Sun.
Jupiter watchers have long known that the giant planet’s ever-present polar auroras — thousands of times brighter and many times bigger than Earth — are powered by both electrically charged particles from the Sun colliding with Jupiter’s magnetic field and a separate interaction between Jupiter and one of its many moons, called Io. But there are also auroral explosions on Jupiter, or periods of dazzling brightening, similar to auroral storms on Earth, that no one could definitively trace back to either of those known causes.
In the aurora-making interaction of Jupiter and Io, volcanoes on the small moon blast clouds of electrically charged atoms (ions) and electrons into a region surrounding Jupiter that’s permeated by the planet’s powerful magnetic field, thousands of times stronger than Earth’s. Rotating along with its rapidly spinning planet, the magnetic field drags the material from Io around with it, causing strong electric fields at Jupiter’s poles. The acceleration of the ions and electrons produce intense auroras that shine in almost all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum but most brightly in high-energy bands, like ultraviolet light and X-rays, that are invisible to unaided human eyes.
Now, new observations of the planet’s extreme ultraviolet emissions show that bright explosions of Jupiter’s aurora likely also get kicked off by the planet-moon interaction, not by solar activity. A new scientific paper about these observations by Tomoki Kimura of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan, and his colleagues, was published online today in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.
Starting in January 2014, a telescope aboard the JAXA’s Hisaki satellite, which focused on Jupiter for two months, recorded intermittent brightening of the giant planet’s aurora. The telescope detected sudden flare-ups on days when the usual flow of charged particles from the Sun, known as the solar wind, was relatively weak.
Additional space and ground-based telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope, also viewed Jupiter during these lulls in the solar wind. Both Hisaki and Hubble witnessed explosions of the planet’s aurora despite the solar wind’s calm, suggesting that it’s the Jupiter-Io interaction driving these explosions, not charged particles from the Sun, according to the new study. The new research does not address exactly what is happening in the Jovian magnetosphere to cause the temporary brightening of auroral explosions.

What is the nature of our own personal universe if not to unify and reach out to others beyond our control in space time travel?
I know that in my universe of galaxies and worlds exist black holes that we do not understand yet however, some of us do due to what we call worm holes and worm travel beyond the imagination in this way of existence we now perceive as reality. It may be that physicists are still trying to understand that which some of us already understand and knows exist in our way of being, doing, having, and knowing.
Why is it that some of us work outside and beyond the known three dimensional working world way of thinking which we all agree to in the law of the universe we unified as the critical mass mind way of being, doing, having, and knowing as our own reality? We have an agreement that is constantly evolving and changing in this world of which we co-create together with our own thoughts which are energy.
We have an agreement with others who are more advanced than we are who have evolved over billions if not trillions of what we call earth years as 365 days in a year on planet earth revolving around the sun.
It's time to wake up to the fact that we create our own universe inside the known universe we call home inside our own minds. Most people have no way to study the mind outside of their own existence in this reality of what we call the world of humanoid sentient intelligent beings.
The Internet was first conceived by J.C.K. Licklider. Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider, known simply as J. C. R. or "Lick", was an American psychologist and computer scientist who is considered one of the most important figures in computer science and general computing history. Born: March 11, 1915, St. Louis, MO., Died: June 26, 1990, Arlington, MA, Books: Libraries of the Future. What will you create for us all?
Love can sense time and space as space time for us all. We will always find a way to exist as a species. Educate everyone in this world about health and sustainability as prosperity for all. We should all know that somewhere in the universal order are many of us who are somewhere else who was once here on this planet. Their destination of spirit was with a soul that was an old school paradigm that we now recognize as our reality. We accept that we are born, we live, and we die. Now in the Cosmos Connection we are expanding our universal laws to know we are co-creators with those in this universe and others.
There are branes our bubble universes are attached too and through the black holes are the white holes that are at the bottom of black holes in other universe which are like tiny pin pricks in balloons. Expand our science and religions to understand that Gods and Goddesses of our ancient alien ancestors were all speaking about the theory of knowing everything as a beginning and an end in the circle of life we call time. We still share past, present, and future, as that which is before and after us while we exist as those who are split with memories of our past as we imagine our future.
This is fact that we can control our future destiny as fate if we call it what it used to be. It's time for etymology and epistemology to begin sharing the point of time where we come together in both science and religion as a faith with hope that there is a future in our imaginations where we meet again in another place and time not in this universe but another.
De Amerikaanse luchtmacht zal volgende maand een vierde keer zijn mysterieus ruimtevliegtuig X-37B lanceren. Dat heeft het welingelichte space.com vandaag gemeld.
De X-37B lijkt op een miniatuurversie van de spaceshuttle van de NASA die ondertussen op stal is gezet. Op 20 mei moet een Atlas-V draagraket van op Cape Canaveral in Florida voor een vierde keer het onbemande en door Boeing gebouwde tuig in de ruimte brengen.
De nuttige lading en de activiteiten van deze nieuwe missie zijn geheim. Maar toch wist space.com te melden dat het onder andere gaat om een experimenteel voortstuwingssysteem en studie van materialen in de ruimte.
Welke van de twee X-37B toestellen van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht zal vliegen, is ook niet meegedeeld.
De vorige vluchten startten in april 2010, maart 2011 en december 2012. De laatste missie duurde 675 dagen, een record. Hoelang de nieuwe vlucht zal duren is eveneens niet meegedeeld.

and her UFO experience until the appointed time. She consciously remembered only a fraction of the strange encounter; the power failure, the colored light flashing through the window, and the aliens entering the house.
