Speed of spacetime ripples rules out some alternatives to dark energy

BY 

LISA GROSSMAN 

BANG, FLASH  Light waves and gravitational waves from a pair of colliding neutron stars reached Earth at almost the same time, ruling out theories about the universe based on predictions that the two kinds of waves might travel at different speeds. 

ILLUSTRATION BY ROBIN DIENEL COURTESY OF THE CARNEGIE INSTITUTION FOR SCIENC

Ripples in spacetime travel at the speed of light. That fact, confirmed by the recent detection of a pair of colliding stellar corpses, kills a whole category of theories that mess with the laws of gravity to explain why the universe is expanding as fast as it is.

On October 16, physicists announced that the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, LIGO, had detected gravitational waves from a neutron star merger (SN Online: 10/16/17). Also, the neutron stars emitted high-energy light shortly after merging. The Fermi space telescope spotted that light coming from the same region of the sky 1.7 seconds after the gravitational wave detection. That observation showed for the first time that gravitational waves, the shivers in spacetime set off when massive bodies move, travel at the speed of light to within a tenth of a trillionth of a percent.

Within a day, five papers were posted at arXiv.org mourning hundreds of expanding universe theories that predicted gravitational waves should travel faster than light — an impossibility without changes to Einstein’s laws of gravity. These theories “are very, very dead,” says the coauthor of one of the papers, cosmologist Miguel Zumalacárregui of the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, or NORDITA, in Stockholm. “We need to go back to our blackboards and start thinking of other alternatives.”

In the 1990s, observations of exploding stars showed that more distant explosions were dimmer than existing theories predicted. That suggested that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate (SN: 10/22/11, p. 13). Cosmologists have struggled ever since to explain why.

The most popular explanation for the speedup is that spacetime is filled with a peculiar entity dubbed dark energy. “You can think of it like a mysterious fluid that pushes everything apart and counteracts gravity,” says cosmologist Jeremy Sakstein of the University of Pennsylvania, coauthor of another new paper.

EVER-GROWING The universe has been expanding since the Big Bang, but its expansion rate is unexpectedly speeding up. The simultaneous observation of light and gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars just killed a whole swath of possible reasons why.

NASA

In the simplest version of this theory, the density of this dark energy has not changed over the history of the universe, so physicists call it a cosmological constant. This doesn’t require any changes to gravity — which is good, because gravity has been well-tested inside the solar system.

The cosmological constant idea matches observations of the wider universe, but it has some theoretical difficulties. Dark energy is about 120 orders of magnitude weaker than theorists calculate it should be (SN Online: 11/18/13), a mismatch that makes scientists uncomfortable.

Also, different methods for measuring the rate of expansion come up with slightly different numbers (SN: 8/6/16, p. 10). Measurements based on exploding stars suggest that distant galaxies are speeding away from each other at 73 kilometers per second for each megaparsec (about 3.3 million light-years) of space between them. But observations based on the cosmic microwave background, ancient light that encodes information about the conditions of the early universe, found that the expansion rate is 67 km/s per megaparsec. The disagreement suggests that either one of the measurements is wrong, or the theory behind dark energy needs a tweak.

So instead of invoking a substance to counteract gravity, theorists tried to explain the expanding universe by weakening gravity itself. Any modifications to gravity need to leave the solar system intact. “It’s quite hard to build a theory that accelerates the universe and also doesn’t mess up the solar system,” says cosmologist Tessa Baker of the University of Oxford, coauthor of still another paper.

These theories take hundreds of forms. “This field of modified gravity theories is a zoo,” says Baker. Some suggest that gravity leaks out into extra dimensions of space and time. Many others account for the universe’s speedy spreading by adding a different mysterious entity — some unknown particle perhaps — that drains gravity’s strength as the universe evolves.

But the new entity would have another crucial effect: It could slow the speed of light waves, similar to the way light travels more slowly through water than through air. That means that the best alternatives to dark energy required gravitational waves to travel faster than light — which they don’t.

Justin Khoury, a theoretical physicist at the University of Pennsylvania who has worked on several of the alternative gravity theories but was not involved in the new papers, was surprised that one gravitational-wave observation ruled out so many theories at once. He’s hardly disappointed, though.

“The fact that we’re learning something about dark energy because of this measurement is incredibly exciting,” he says.

Observing gravitational waves and light waves at the same time offers a third, independent way to measure how fast the universe is expanding. For now, that rate lies frustratingly right between the two clashing measurements scientists already had, at 70 km/s per megaparsec. But it’s still imprecise. Once LIGO and other observatories have seen 10 or 20 more neutron star collisions, researchers should be able to tell which measurement is correct and figure out whether dark energy needs an update, Zumalacárregui says.

“Gravitational waves may kill these models, but eventually they have the potential to tell us if this discrepancy is for real,” he says. “That’s something that is in itself very beautiful.”

This mystery object may be our first visitor from another solar system

By Amanda Barnett, CNN

The galaxy explained 

(CNN)Astronomers around the world are trying to track down a small, fast-moving object that is zipping through our solar system.

Is a comet? An asteroid? NASA's not sure. The space agency doesn't even know where it came from, but it's not behaving like the local space rocks and that means it may not be from our solar system.

If that's confirmed, NASA says "it would be the first interstellar object to be observed and confirmed by astronomers."

"We have been waiting for this day for decades," Paul Chodas, manager of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, said in a NASA news release. "It's long been theorized that such objects exist -- asteroids or comets moving around between the stars and occasionally passing through our solar system -- but this is the first such detection. So far, everything indicates this is likely an interstellar object, but more data would help to confirm it."

NASA says astronomers are pointing telescopes on the ground and in space at the object to get that data.

For now, the object is being called A/2017 U1. Experts think it's less than a quarter-mile (400 meters) in diameter and it's racing through space at 15.8 miles (25.5 kilometers) per second.

It was discovered October 19 by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS 1 telescope on Haleakala, Hawaii.

Rob Weryk, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy, was the first to identify the object and immediately realized there was something different about it.

"Its motion could not be explained using either a normal solar system asteroid or comet orbit," he said. "This object came from outside our solar system."

Whatever "it" is, the object isn't a threat to Earth.

NASA say that on October 14, it safely passed our home world at a distance of about 15 million miles (24 million kilometers) -- that's about 60 times the distance to the moon.

Where's it going? Scientists think the object is heading toward the constellation Pegasus and is on its way out of our solar system.

"This is the most extreme orbit I have ever seen," said Davide Farnocchia, a scientist at the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. "It is going extremely fast and on such a trajectory that we can say with confidence that this object is on its way out of the solar system and not coming back."

"It" may eventually get a better name than A/2017 U1, but since the object is the first of its kind, the International Astronomical Union will have to come up with new rules for naming the object.

Air Force Aviator Leaks Dramatic UFO HUD Video

Classified military footage of the Phoenix Lights UFO phenomenon has recently been leaked by a former U.S Air Force aviator. The footage reportedly captures never-before-seen cockpit footage of Lockheed-Martin F-16 and Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II fighter jets in action the night of the original incident 17 years ago.

56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs at Luke has received numerous inquiries and requests, but has remained silent on the footage.  The report claims additional footage of multiple civilian casualties has been obtained.

The “Phoenix Lights” incident is one of the largest UFO sightings in North America.  Thousands of Arizona residents became alarmed when they noticed a sizable object in the sky above Phoenix 19 years ago.

Multiple eyewitnesses reported a diamond-shaped craft hovering above the city for at least a couple of hours.

Nineteen years later, questions about the Phoenix Lights are still being asked. Arizona residents still remember the phenomenon and the new footage has stirred more tension around the 19-year-old event. The lights have been the subject of intense scrutiny, government denials and internet documentaries.

This never-before-seen video of an engagement during the Phoenix Lights was leaked online this weekend, by KWBV News journalist David Collins. The FLIR video purportedly depicts military and unknown craft on the night of the mass sighting over Phoenix in 1997.

ALIENS ARE ACTUALLY IMMORTAL ROBOTS, AND THEY’RE BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, SCIENTIST CLAIMS

 Rob Waugh for Metro.co.uk

Sorry, UFO fans, aliens are probably not almond-eyed, elf-like creatures with an unfathomable obsession with sticking probes up people’s bums.

Instead, they’re much more like to be robots – robots so old it’s difficult to even imagine, according to the Daily Galaxy.

Susan Schneider of the University of Connecticut and the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton says that alien AI may already be out there, and could be billions of years old.

Schneider says, ‘I do not believe that most advanced alien civilizations will be biological. The most sophisticated civilizations will be postbiological, forms of artificial intelligence or alien superintelligence.’

Schneider said in a Daily Galaxy report, ‘all lines of evidence converge on the conclusion that the maximum age of extraterrestrial intelligence would be billions of years, specifically ranges from 1.7 billion to 8 billion years.’

Many researchers believe that the first aliens we encounter will be robots.

Many scientists believe that the period from the discovery of radio waves, to organisms turning themselves into immortal robots will be relatively brief.

For instance, Google’s Ray Kurzweil has predicted that man will merge with machine here on Earth in the year 2050.

The upshot of this is that it’s far, far more likely that we’ll meet aliens after they’ve turned into machines, according to experts. 

Seth Shostak of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence says, ‘Consider the fact that any signal we pick up has to come from a civilization at least as advanced as we are.

‘Now, let’s say, conservatively, the average civilization will use radio for 10,000 years. From a purely probabilistic point of view, the chance of encountering a society far older than ourselves is quite high.’

This video will blow your mind: the Giant Megaliths of Russia

This incredible video presents some of the most incredible yet mysterious structures that have been found in all corners of Russia. According to the author of the video, these huge megaliths that strangely resemble construction methods used in sites like Puma Punku, Teotihuacan, and Tiahuanaco, could not have been the result of ancient mankind.

No matter what the numbers were in the past, the author of the video suggests that these mysterious megalithic sites in Russia are the ultimate and most compelling evidence that proves giant Beings inhabited the world in the distant past.

The author suggests that much before the biblical flood, thousands of years earlier, giant beings inhabited all corners on our planet, and stories about these giant beings can be found in cultures around the globe. No matter where we go and at what ancient culture we look at, it seems that ‘Ancient Giant Beings’ were present on Earth before ‘ancient history,’ a time that corresponds to a period in the long history of planet Earth, where, according to mainstream scholars civilizations and mankind were totally undeveloped and perhaps, didn’t even exist.

However, videos like this clearly show that these ancient megalithic sites were somehow built, yet no one has been able to fully explain why, how and how long, these incredible structures defy history and everything we know about early civilizations and beings inhabiting our planet.

Genesis: 6:2: That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis: 6:4: There were Giants (in Hebrew bible Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Is it possible that just as ancient texts tell us, in the distant past, beings unlike any we see today, were present on the surface of Earth, and that some of the huge, megalithic sites were erected by them in the distant past?

The video:

Is it possible that the Megalithic site of Gornaya Shoria in Russia, is just one of the many sites in Russia where ancient beings inhabiting Earth in the distant past, managed to erect some of the biggest blocks of stone ever seen on our planet? What if all these myths and tales are more than that? And what if, as unlikely as it may seem to many people, giant beings, belonging to a completely different species, inhabited the Earth, before ordinary humans become the predominant species on the planet.

If you consider just for a moment the possibility, however unlikely, that giants existed on Earth, than we could explain how ancient megalithic monuments were erected tens of thousands of years ago, and the sites seen in this video might just be a compilation of the largest megalithic sites in Russia, constructed by the ‘alleged’ giants, many ancient cultures speak of.

MYSTERIEUZE KOMEET EEN RUIMTESCHIP ? ( VIDEO )

Voor de eerste keer ooit is er een komeet ontdekt die niet afkomstig is uit ons eigen zonnestelsel.

Men noemt dit een interstellaire komeet omdat de wetenschappers geen flauw benul hebben welk object hier met een snelheid van 26 kilometer per seconde door de ruimte reist.

Objecten die ontdekt worden in de ruimte krijgen altijd een eigen unieke aanduiding met daarin verwerkt meestal ook het jaar waarin ze zijn ontdekt.

Een dergelijk object is C/2017 U1. Het werd afgelopen september ontdekt door astronomen met de PannSTARRS1 telescoop op Hawaï.  

Het vreemde is dat niemand eigenlijk precies wat voor object het is. In eerste instantie werd het een komeet genoemd, maar omdat het niet een soort omloopbaan om de zon heeft zoals gebruikelijk bij kometen begon men te twijfelen of het wel een komeet was. Wel heeft men vast kunnen stellen dat het object een doorsnede heeft van ongeveer 160 meter en reist met een snelheid van 26 kilometer per seconde.

Wat dit object vooral bijzonder maakt, is dat het schijnt te komen van buiten ons zonnestelsel en daardoor een vreemde omloopbaan heeft. In het volgende plaatje wordt object c/2017 U1 weergegeven als geel en ter vergelijking zijn de groene fictieve omloopbanen van kometen. Dit om duidelijk te maken in hoeverre die omloopbaan van C/2017 afwijkt.

Nog nooit hebben wij op aarde een wat men nu noemt interstellaire komeet meegemaakt. Een komeet afkomstig uit een ander zonnestelsel dan de onze. Was dit waar Ferrada al over sprak en wat hij cometa planeta noemde, of mogelijk iets wat bij dit fenomeen hoort?

Hoe verwarrend dit alles is voor de wetenschappers, wordt duidelijk als je leest wat de Wikipedia weet te vermelden over dit object:

Op 14 oktober passeerde het object onze zon en is nu weer op weg om te verdwijnen in de ruimte. C/2017 U1 werd in 2017 ontdekt met de STARRS1-telescoop op het Hawaiiaanse eiland Maui. Het zou mogelijk een donker rotsblok met een middellijn van zo'n 150 meter betreffen. Vermoed wordt dat het object afkomstig is uit de richting van het sterrenbeeld Lier, meer bepaald uit de omgeving van de ster Wega alwaar een zonnestelsel-in-wording is ontdekt. Dat het rotsblok ook daadwerkelijk van de omgeving van Wega afkomstig is wordt uiterst onwaarschijnlijk geacht, aangezien dit rotsblok ongeveer 300.000 jaar over de tocht naar ons zonnestelsel moet hebben gedaan, en toen stond Wega ergens anders aan de hemel.

En Scientias zegt er het volgende over:

Dit is interessant, want alles wijst er op dat er momenteel een ‘exotisch’ object door ons zonnestelsel reist. Helaas kunnen we het object niet van dichtbij bekijken, want de exokomeet verlaat momenteel het zonnestelsel en heeft een hoge snelheid.

We hebben iets dat nog nooit eerder op aarde is gezien en we noemen het een rotsblok. Een veel logischere verklaring zou uiteraard zijn dat het hier gaat om een intelligent bestuurd ruimtevaartuig van een andere ster, zoals misschien Wega.

Die zullen dan echt geen 300.000 jaar over die tocht hebben gedaan, maar waarschijnlijk gebruikt hebben gemaakt een dimensieportaal om heel snel naar dit deel van ons zonnestelsel te reizen.

Wij schrijven al jaren over de grote UFO's die regelmatig bij de zon worden waargenomen en ter illustratie daarvan een deel uit een artikel van eind vorig jaar:

Ongeveer tien jaar geleden verklaarden twee Russische wetenschappers dat ze hadden ontdekt dat er op ieder gegeven moment zich honderden UFO’s ophouden in de buurt van onze zon. 

Dat niet alleen, maar ook dat ze hun snelheid kunnen verhogen of verlagen zonder aanwijsbare reden en dat ze een rechthoekige draai kunnen maken met onvoorstelbare snelheden, iets dat voor een normaal ruimteschip onmogelijk zou zijn. Zeker voor de waargenomen ruimteschepen die minstens zo groot zijn als onze maan. 

Door de jaren heen zijn er telkens nieuwe waarnemingen geweest, waarbij het lijkt alsof deze enorme UFO’s energie uit de zon tanken. 

Nu duikt er weer een opname op van een UFO die als het ware lijkt weg te schieten van de zon.

Op ieder gewenst moment van de dag is er eigenlijk wel wat te zien rondom de zon op de SOHO beelden van NASA. 

Het volgende voorbeeld is gemaakt door Scott Waring van Ufo Sightings Daily voor wie iedere pixelafwijking in het beeld een UFO is, maar waar ook inderdaad recht boven de zon en rechtsonder vreemde objecten zijn te zien.

Er wordt op dit moment veel gesproken over een mogelijke nep buitenaardse invasie op aarde. Een soort holografisch spel door de elite, waarbij het lijkt alsof er een buitenaardse invasiemacht naar de aarde is gekomen om ons te koloniseren. Het idee erachter is dan om de al zo lang gewenste wereldregering te activeren, waarbij de mensheid als één geheel weerstand zal bieden tegen de indringers. 

Echter, de activiteiten van vreemde objecten in de buurt van de zon heeft naar alle waarschijnlijkheid niets te maken met iets dat door mensenhanden is gemaakt, maar alles met buitenaardse beschavingen. 

En dan een onbekend object op een route (omloopbaan) die nog niet eerder is waargenomen, waarbij wetenschappers met de mond vol tanden staan en geen antwoorden hebben.

Noem het maar een interstellaire komeet; wij noemen het een ruimteschip.

Omdat we vandaag de wintertijd ingaan en we ons immuunsysteem in die periode best extra mogen ondersteunen, is er voor Niburu lezers deze week een daverende aanbieding van maar liefst 25 procent korting (!) op de Rauwe CBD Hennep capsules van Orjana. Deze aanbieding is geldig zolang de voorraad strekt en loopt tot en met zondag 5 november 2017. Wil je gebruikmaken van deze unieke aanbieding vul dan code "hemp25" in bij het afrekenen

Amerikaan verkoopt ranch vanwege aanvallen door ‘greys’. Bevinden zich hier poorten naar andere dimensies?

John Edmonds uit Rainbow Valley in Arizona verkoopt zijn paardenranch omdat hij naar eigen zeggen niet meer tegen de constante paranormale activiteit kan.

De ranch is al meerdere keren op tv en in het nieuws geweest omdat er naar verluidt aliens op bezoek komen.

Zo vertelde Edmonds tijdens een aflevering van Ghost Adventures dat hij een buitenaards voorwerp had gevonden en is bezocht door de echte Men in Black.

Vreemde gebeurtenissen

Hij claimt dat hij al 19 aliens heeft gedood en dat de wezens meerdere keren zouden hebben geprobeerd om hem en zijn vrouw te ontvoeren.

“Ze leviteerden haar uit bed en droegen haar naar de parkeerplaats en probeerden haar mee te nemen in het ruimteschip,” vertelde hij aan de lokale zender KPNX.

Het stel kocht de ranch in 1995, maar vrijwel gelijk deden zich er vreemde gebeurtenissen voor.

Greys

Op zijn Facebookpagina plaatst Edmonds geregeld berichten over zijn ervaringen. Onder een foto met daarop een katana beschrijft hij hoe hij de ‘greys’ doodmaakt.

Hij legt uit dat je het hoofd eraf moet hakken omdat ze anders gemakkelijk kunnen ontkomen. Zelfs met een vlijmscherp zwaard is het vrijwel onmogelijk om ze in één keer te onthoofden, schreef hij.

Andere dimensies

Makelaar Kimberley Gero zei dat sommige potentiële kopers geen problemen hebben met de geschiedenis van de ranch, terwijl anderen doodsbang zijn dat er iets gaat gebeuren.

Het huis beschikt over vijf slaapkamers, vier badkamers, een groot zwembad en… twee poorten die volgens Edmonds naar andere dimensies leiden, meldt zender KHQ.

GROTE ZORGEN OM VULKANEN OP CANARISCHE EILANDEN

Net zoals er rondom de Yellowstone supervulkaan in Amerika onlangs ongekend veel aardbevingen werden geregistreerd, is dat nu ook het geval rond de vulkanen op La Palma, één van de Canarische Eilanden. 

Er zijn met spoed experts naartoe gevlogen om metingen te verrichten en de situatie 24 uur per dag te observeren.

Hoelang zal het nog duren voordat het eindelijk bij de mensheid inzinkt dat er ongewone dingen op aarde gebeuren waarvoor niemand een zinnige verklaring kan bedenken? Het enige dat je daarvoor hoeft te doen, is wat wij al jaren doen, het bijhouden van ongewone en heftige aardveranderingen. 

Het probleem daarbij is dat dit soort dingen wel wordt gerapporteerd, maar dat er nooit enig verband wordt gelegd tussen al die afzonderlijke gebeurtenissen.

Zo schreven wij enkele weken geleden over de dreiging van de Yellowstone supervulkaan die opeens veel groter blijkt te zijn dan oorspronkelijk werd gedacht.

De afgelopen jaren is het publiek regelmatig in slaap gesust door de Amerikaanse Geological Survey (USGS), die verzekerde dat ondanks dat er zich steeds vaker series kleine aardbevingen voordeden rondom het gebied van de Yellowstone Supervulkaan, dit helemaal niets was om ons zorgen over te maken.

Een supervulkaan die, wanneer deze wel tot uitbarsting zou komen, zal zorgen voor mogelijk honderdduizenden dodelijke slachtoffers.

Echter, die geruststellende praatjes beginnen nu plotsklaps te veranderen.

Sinds ongeveer het midden van de maand juli van dit jaar hebben zich in het Yellowstone gebied ongeveer 2.500 kleine aardbevingen voorgedaan, het hoogste aantal in een serie ooit. De aarde onder de vulkaan is aan het verschuiven en dit kan betekenen dat er magma is gaan stromen naar de belangrijkste magmakamer.

Dit proces dat leidt naar een uitbarsting had volgens eerdere voorspellingen van de geologen van de USGS nog duizenden jaren moeten duren.

De wereld reageert niet op dat bericht, neemt het voor kennisgeving aan, als ze het al lezen, en gaan verder met echt belangrijke zaken zoals de nieuwe serie Pose die de grootste transgendercast ooit zal tellen.

Niemand die ook kijkt naar een bericht over plotselinge paniek op de Canarische Eilanden waar ook vulkanen zijn en honderden kleine aardbevingen worden geregistreerd. Men heeft in sneltreinvaart een aantal experts daar naartoe gehaald.

De reden is dat een dergelijke situatie snel kan omslaan en men de experts ter plekke tests wil laten uitvoeren op het eiland La Palma om zo misschien vast te kunnen stellen waarom en welke actieve vulkaan daar op het punt staat om uit te barsten.

Het gaat om de volgende vulkanen:

De Cumbre Vieja is een actieve vulkanengroep op het zuidelijk deel van het Canarische Eiland La Palma. De keten is 18 km lang en telt ongeveer 120 dicht bij elkaar gelegen vulkanen met als hoogste de Deseada, 1.945 m. De Cumbre Vieja sluit in het noorden aan op de oudere en lager gelegen Cumbre Nueva. In het zuiden loopt de bergketen langzaam af en eindigt in de uiterste zuidpunt van La Palma, bij Punta de Fuencaliente.

Op La Palma hetzelfde verhaal als bij de Yellowstone supervulkaan. Door de ongekend hoeveelheid aardbevingen wordt het magma naar boven gestuwd en is de kans op een vulkaanuitbarsting ineens vele malen groter geworden. Het enige dat wetenschappers nu kunnen doen, is de verschillende variabelen meten om zo misschien te kunnen bepalen hoe dichtbij die uitbarsting is. 

Ook hier weer dezelfde geruststellende woorden zoals altijd: Volgens lokale wetenschappers is dit dan wel de grootste serie aardbevingen die zijn voorgekomen sinds men dit begon bij te houden, maar deze zogenaamde "seismic swarms" zijn absoluut niets ongewoons.

Dat is het patroon dat we iedere keer weer opnieuw zien. Ieder keer is wat er gebeurt de meest heftige, de nog nooit eerder voorgekomen, de grootste, de hoogste enzovoort. En iedere keer worden er geruststellende woorden gesproken en is er niemand die een verband legt tussen bepaalde gebeurtenissen, behalve een enkeling in de alternatieve media en die ziet spoken. 

Overal ter wereld worden vulkanen wakker en/of komen tot uitbarsting.

Zoals de Sinabung vulkaan in Indonesië die afgelopen dinsdag zelf twee keer tot een uitbarsting kwam, waarbij as en puin kilometers hoog de lucht in werden gespuwd.

Op woensdag volgde er een explosie van de Stromboli vulkaan nabij het Italiaanse eiland Sicilië, misschien een voorbode van dingen die gaan komen.

Even terug naar een artikel dat we onlangs schreven naar aanleiding van een verklaring van NASA:

En nu komt er dus een mededeling van NASA dat er niet alleen een soort superaarde moet zijn met een gewicht tien keer dat van onze aarde, maar ook dat deze zo'n krachtige invloed heeft dat het ons complete zonnestelsel heeft laten kantelen.

In een verklaring zegt NASA het volgende: "Het kan rondhangen aan de verre uiteinden van ons zonnestelsel en zich in het donker verborgen houden, maar toch subtiel in de achtergrond aan de touwtjes trekken: de omloopbanen van de buitenste planeten langer maken en zelfs het laten kantelen van het zonnestelsel naar één kant".

En verder: "De tekenen zijn tot nu indirect, het betreft vooral een zwaartekracht voetafdruk, maar alles met elkaar telt het toch op tot een overtuigende zaak".

Wanneer er krachten aan het werk zijn die ons zonnestelsel kunnen laten kantelen, is het dan niet logisch dat ze ook verantwoordelijk kunnen zijn voor ontwakende en steeds actiever wordende vulkanen?

Incredible footage of high speed UFO that appears to ignite other objects in space near Saturn

Sky observer DiversityJ captured a very rare, incredibly fast sequence of events on the evening of October 26, 2017 at 7:32pm while recording Saturn in the west sky.

A nearly transparent ultra high speed UFO that seems to defy basic laws of motion, from the viewers’ perspective it traveled directly across the surface of Saturn in the lower Western sky, causing wave distortion, actually distorting the light of Saturn.

In 1 1/4 second (75 frames), there was a bright UFO that shot up from below Saturn, lit up a second object with an orange glow, then after the UFO passed Saturn it appeared to trigger another burst of light (third object) before going out of frame.

If you look closely you can see the UFO turns from light orange to white as it seems to become one with the bright white flash of light.

DiversityJ states: Now, I didn't see this when out filming. Had a heck of a time getting the camera to find Saturn, and then manually trying to focus, waiting for the noisy atv's to quiet down. But as Saturn got lower in frame and I tried to adjust, I lost it and couldn't find it again during this take. A few minutes later I eventually got both the Moon and Saturn.

Anyway, on that first take, I was staring at the monitor with my magnifying glass glancing up and back down the whole time. I didn't see any lights or airplanes. It wasn't until going in and watching the footage on the computer that I saw the event, lasted less than 2 seconds!

The crust of the dwarf planet comprises ice, salts and materials belonging to geological activities which took place in the past.

The layer beneath the rigid surface of Ceres is found to be easily deformable and soft due to the residual liquid.

"More and more, we are learning that Ceres is a complex, dynamic world that may have hosted a lot of liquid water in the past, and may still have some underground," said Julie Castillo-Rogez, Dawn project scientist based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California.

A group of astronomers led by Anton Ermakov, a postdoctoral researcher at JPL, had used the measurements of shape and gravity to determine the composition and internal structure of Ceres. The finding reveals that this dwarf planet is geologically active or was in the recent past.

Three craters named Occator, Kerwan and Yalode and a solitary tall mountain present n the crater, Ahuna Mons, are linked with "gravity anomalies".

"Ceres has an abundance of gravity anomalies associated with outstanding geologic features," Ermakov said. In the cases of Ahuna Mons and Occator, the anomalies can be used to better understand the origin of these features, which are believed to be different expressions of cryovolcanism.

The models of Ceres created by the scientists show discrepancies. The analysis of these four locations done by the Dawn probe is about the subsurface structures.

Astronomers led by Roger Fu at Harvard University, US, studied the composition and strength of the dwarf planet's crust and deeper interior by analysing its topography. The researchers found that the crust of the dwarf planet comprised ice, salts, rock and an additional component, which was believed to be clathrate hydrate — which is a cage of water molecules, surrounding a gas molecule.

Clathrate hydrate's structure is found to be 100 to 1,000 times stronger than water ice, while having almost the same density.

It's believed by the researchers that the surface features of Ceres were more well-defined once, but they have smoothened over time. A very strong crust resting on a more deformable layer which contains a small amount of liquid is required for this sort of flattening of mountains and valleys, according to Fu and his team of astronomers.µ

"Levitating" Sands Could Be the Key to Landscape Formation on Mars

A unique geologic process, made possible by Mars's thin atmosphere, could be the key to understanding dune formations on the Red Planet.

Despite being the best planet for future colonization efforts, Mars is a very different world than Earth. Temperatures average about −55 degrees Celsius (−67° F) on the Red Planet, and can range from about −153 degrees C (−243° F) at the poles to 20 degrees C (68° F) near the equator at high noon. Even more alien, the atmosphere on Mars is a little less than one percent the thickness of Earth's atmosphere, which results in some unique chemical processes. For example, water ice will sublimate rather than melt on the surface, changing directly from a solid into vapor despite the frigid temperatures.

New research suggests the unique conditions on Mars can produce a "levitating" effect on martian sands and dust, a factor that must be accounted for when studying dune formation and other geological processes on the Red Planet. The study, published this morning in Nature Communications, builds off previous research that suggests liquid water flows underground on Mars today, as evidenced by dark streaks of briny water that appear seasonally in martian dunes. When small amounts of this water reach the surface and are exposed to the atmosphere, they sublimate immediately into a gas, or perhaps exist very briefly as liquid water before boiling into vapor. This boiling process can levitate sands and carry them across the surface, especially down a slope.

"It is possible that water 'trapped' underneath sediment cover could be liquid on Mars in small amounts," Jan Raack, lead author and a research fellow at The Open University, told Popular Mechanics in an email. "Overlaying sediment would protect water to sublimate, and when it would come into contact with the thin atmosphere, it would boil and cause the effect of levitation and saltation we have observed in our experiments."

The exact formation processes of martian hills and dunes is still somewhat of a mystery for planetary geologists. The sands of Mars do not behave like the sands of the Sahara. The reduced gravity on Mars, only 3.7 m/s² compared to 9.8 m/s² on Earth, is partially responsible for the unique geologic processes, but scientists haven't been able to explain the entire picture just by accounting for the weaker gravity. Raack believes the levitating process he reproduced in the lab could be a missing piece to the puzzle.

"If liquid water (maybe groundwater or rapid ice melt or liquid brines) comes into contact with a relatively warm martian surface (around 5° C), then the effect of levitation will be possible which enhances the amount of transported sediment down a slope massively," says Raack.

The levitating sands on Mars may seem like a minor addition, just a new variable in the geologic models that simulate dune formation, but understanding the geology on Mars is vital to any human exploration efforts. Where is the water on Mars, and how could we access it? What challenges do engineers face when designing the foundation of a structure on Mars? Do the shifting sands of the Red Planet hide microbes beneath, sustaining off the thick briny water underground?

If Raack's levitating sands model is correct, it could help scientists tackle these fundamental questions about our neighbor planet.

Reports of spectacular UFO - a giant glowing ball lighting the sky - in Siberia

'But gradually the ball began to expand, it became clear that this is not some radiance ... and it became scary ...' Picture: Alexey Yakovlev

The illuminated ball looming over the forest was seen clearly in the town of Salekhard right on the Arctic Circle, but was also visible over a swathe of northern Siberia in the night sky. 

Residents from Yamalo-Nenets region reported 'shivers down their spines' and the social media went alive with claims of aliens arriving in an awesome UFO.

---

'The glowing ball rose from behind the trees and moved in my direction.'

Pictures: Sergey Anisimov

The extraordinary sight was captured by leading Siberian photographer Sergey Anisimov who admitted: 'At first I was taken aback for a few minutes, not understanding what was happening. 

'The glowing ball rose from behind the trees and moved in my direction. 

'My first thought was about the most powerful searchlight, but the speed of changing everything around changed the idea of what was happening. 

---

'This is such a vision!' 

Pictures: Alexey Yakovlev

'The ball began to turn into an arc and gradually dissipated.'

After the multi-coloured light show was over he went home. 

'Kids (5-6 years old) walking in the yard emotionally began to tell me about an unusual phenomenon, using the words 'aliens', 'the portal to another dimension' and the like....'

This was the launch of a Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile from Plesetsk cosmodrome aimed at the Kura testing range in Kamchatka on the country's Pacific coast.

Picture: The Siberian Times

Another photographer Alexey Yakovlev spotted the spectacle at Strezhevoi, in the north of Tomsk region,  some 840 kilometres away.

'And at first I thought - it is such a radiance of such an unusual form - round in shape.

'But gradually the ball began to expand, it became clear that this is not some radiance ... and it became scary ... 

'It's a gap in the space-time continuum.'

'It's good that I was not alone... they made it clear that the group of people cannot hallucinate.'

'This is such a vision!' 

Anastasia Boldyreva posted simply:  'Aliens arrived.'

Vasily Zubkov said: 'I went out to smoke a cigarette and thought it was the end of the world.'

Another local Nurgazy Taabaldiev said: 'It's a gap in the space-time continuum.'

In fact the reason photographers were out watching the sky was an amazing show of northern lights - or Aurora Borealis - but there was an extra dimension too. 

This was the launch of a Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile from Plesetsk cosmodrome aimed at the Kura testing range in Kamchatka on the country's Pacific coast. 

The launch was one of several last night in exercises by the Russian strategic nuclear forces, as confirmed by the Russian defence ministry. 

It was the the trace of the Topol rocket - capable of carrying nuclear missiles - that caused this extraordinary phenomenon in the sky. 

As photographer Yakovlev posted accurately: 'It seems I accidentally shoot the launch of a secret space rocket from Plesetsk'.

This is the ‘Center of the universe’ because of ONE unexplainable phenomenon

This is the ‘Center of the universe’ because of ONE unexplainable phenomenon

By now we have probably understood that our planet is full of mysterious and amazing things.

By using science, we try and explain as best as we can things that challenge our understanding of things around us.

Thousands of years ago, before critical thinking and science, took over society we used the divine and tried to explain things that we simply couldn’t understand.

The center of the universe… on Earth

The ancient Greeks marked the center of the world by placing an omphalos in the form of a sacred stone. The most famous one was located in the oracle of Delphi, indicating that from that point on, the rest of the world had been created.

Of course, other people also had their center of the world. There were those in Miletus, Sicily, Poland, Italy to name but a few.

In ancient Greece, it is known that there were at least nine or ten.

The US also has its own center of the universe, and it is located in Tulsa. Despite the fact that ‘this center of the universe’ neither has the charm nor the mystery of the ancient centers of the universe and is rather an anodyne site, it does have a peculiar characteristic, an acoustic anomaly that surprises anyone who visits it.

According to legend, a foghorn could go off in the center of the circle an, those on the outside wouldn’t hear it.

This may be an exaggeration, but a person’s voice does sound extremely distorted when heard from outside the circle.

It’s an incredible yet mysterious effect that has still not been explained.

Located at number 20 Archer Street at the junction with Boston Avenue, the ‘center of the universe’ isn’t a special place, in fact, it’s a simple circle of about 75 centimeters in diameter surrounded by another 13 rows of tiles.

It was created in the 80’s when the area was rebuilt after a fire.

When a person stands in the center of the circle, looking in any direction, making a noise, he will hear his own echo reproduced several times louder than initially spoken, while those outside the circle will not hear it.

Instead, they perceive the voice or the noise but very distorted.

The same happens if someone outside the circle speaks to another person in front of him and also outside, causing the sound to pass over the center.

No one knows that causes the effect, but there are a couple of theories.

This curious effect seems to be produced by the circular walls surrounding the ‘center of the universe’, although it has never been proven, so there are multiple theories about it.

One theory suggests that the strange phenomenon occurs due to a metal expansion joint that crosses the circle since it is located on a viaduct, which would accidentally produce this curious acoustic anomaly.

Stephen Hawking wants to ‘Colonize the moon’

One of the greatest minds on Earth—Professor Stephen Hawking—wants mankind to colonize Earth’s moon as soon as possible, in order to ensure the existence of our species. “I am an optimist. I believe we can. One of the best ways to do this is to move out into space and explore the potential for human beings to live on other planets.”

As we have seen in the last couple of years, rising tensions among the world’s nuclear powers have made scientists think about what we can do in order to ensure the existence of our species, if a world ‘nuclear’ war would break out in the future.

With growing concern from North Korea and Middle Eastern countries, the world has never been this scared and nervous.

Tensions between Pyongyang and Washington have greatly escalated in the last couple of years, the reason why Prof Stephen Hawking has stated that we must work to ensure the existence of our species, and the first step is to colonize the Earth’s moon.

Hawking has said that comments made by North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un should be taken seriously. The North Korean leader has threatened to destroy its enemies, and escalating tensions between nuclear powers have taken ou planet one step closer to a global catastrophe provoked by man.

“I am an optimist. I believe we can. One of the best ways to do this is to move out into space and explore the potential for human beings to live on other planets.”

To ensure we as a species live on, Prof Hawking has said that we need to head to the moon, and start looking for another planet if we are to survive a catastrophic event—like World War 3.

Remeber what Einstein once said: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Professor Hawking has urged leading nations in space exploration to push the lm it’s with our space programs—and work collectively—and send astronauts to the surface of the moon in the next couple of years.

Speaking at the Yalta European Strategy forum, Prof Hawking said that we have already landed on the moon, and it could become our cosmic base to explore, and eventually colonize other worlds.

We have all that we need to go to the moon. Recently, scientists have also discovered ice deposits on the moon’s north pole, a very important discovery that could help astronauts survive on the moon.

Furthermore, Prof Hawking said that while leaving our planet will not solve all of our problems, it will give the human race a new perspective.

“Leaving earth will give us a new perspective. It would also unite us to face a common challenge,” concluded Prof Hawking.

Enormous glowing ball is seen over northern Siberia after fuel from four Russian rockets tested overnight created an illusion in the sky (but locals thought it could be a UFO)

• Russian media has suggested two possible causes, the Northern lights or a Russian rocket test 
• It is likely the trace of rockets which were launched by the Russian military around the time
• Similar light was seen in the skies over Norway in December 2009, which was caused by a failed missile
• The peculiar spiral shaped light pattern was created from reflection of the sun in the leaking fuel

By Will Stewart and Shivali Best For Mailonline

Russia has been hit by a wave of reports of a giant UFO in the sky last night with spectacular pictures of an enormous glowing ball illuminating northern Siberia.

Social media erupted with claims of 'aliens arriving' and locals in far flung parts of the country told of 'shivers down their spines'.

While the source of the light has not been confirmed, some have suggested that it was the trace of four rockets launched by the Russian military that caused this extraordinary phenomenon in the night sky.

A similar light was seen in the skies over Norway in December 2009, which was caused by a failed missile. During that incident, the peculiar spiral shaped light pattern was created from reflection of the sun in the leaking fuel.

Vasily Zubkov posted: 'I went out to smoke a cigarette and thought it was the end of the world.' 

The extraordinary scenes were captured by leading Siberian photographer Sergey Anisimov in the town of Salekhard which straddles the Arctic Circle.

'I was taken aback for a few minutes, not understanding what was happening,' he said.

'The glowing ball rose from behind the trees and moved in my direction.

'My first thought was about the most powerful searchlight, but the speed of changing everything around changed the idea of what was happening.

'The ball began to turn into an arc and gradually dissipated.'

After the multi-coloured light show was over he went home to find local children as young as five in the yard babbling about 'aliens' and 'the portal to another dimension', he said.

Some 520 miles further east, another photographer Alexey Yakovlev admitted to feeling scared as he witnessed the UFO spectacle at Strezhevoi, in the north of Tomsk region, reported The Siberian Times.

Bizarre sighting of a 'glowing UFO' lights the sky in Siberia

The extraordinary scenes were captured by leading Siberian photographer Sergey Anisimov in the town of Salekhard which straddles the Arctic Circle

Social media erupted with claims of 'aliens arriving' and locals in far flung parts of the country told of 'shivers down their spines'

While the source of the light remains unknown, local experts suggest there were two possible reasons for the eerie spectacle in the Siberian night sky

The lights could be seen in northern Siberia, and one photographer captured stunning images of the sight from the town of Salekhard which straddles the Arctic Circle

The were many similar messages. Nurgazy Taabaldiev claimed: 'It's a gap in the space-time continuum.'

While the source of the light has not been confirmed, not all are convinced it was a Russian rocket test.

Some local experts suggest it may have been caused by the Northern lights. 

But the most common theory is that Russian strongman Vladimir Putin had chosen this moment to frighten the West with grandiose military exercises by his strategic nuclear forces.

Putin personally oversaw the launch of four nuclear-capable ballistic missiles as part of a training exercise for Russia's strategic nuclear forces, the Kremlin said on Friday, the Interfax news agency reported.

The test launches, conducted last night, involved land, air, and submarine-based ballistic missiles, Russia's defence ministry said in a separate statement.

The ministry said a Topol intercontinental ballistic missile had been test fired from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia, hitting a target at the Kura military testing range on the Kamchatka Peninsula thousands of kilometres (miles) away.  

Photographer Alexey Yakovlev admitted to feeling scared as he witnessed the UFO spectacle at Strezhevoi, in the north of Tomsk region. He said: 'At first I thought - it is such a radiance of such an unusual form, round in shape. But gradually the ball began to expand, it became clear that this is not some radiance and it became scary'

After the multi-coloured light show was over, photographer Sergey Anisimov went home to find local children as young as five in the yard babbling about 'aliens' and 'the portal to another dimension', he said

The first explanation for the sight was that a vivid display of the Northern Lights - or Aurora Borealis - was underway. This is why photographers were out watching the sky when the suspected UFO appeared

+13

When the light appeared, missile tests were underway from submarines and aircraft last night, and the exercises included the launch of a super-powerful Topol rocket from Plesetsk cosmodrome, 550 miles north of Moscow

It was the likely the traces of one of these rockets - capable of carrying nuclear missiles - that caused this extraordinary phenomenon in the night sky, say the Russian media.

As photographer Mr Yakovlev accurately guessed: 'It seems I accidentally shot the launch of a secret space rocket from Plesetsk'.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

The impressive Northern Lights can sometimes be seen by people in high-altitude regions, including Sweden, Iceland and Scotland. 

There are two types of auroras - Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), which means 'dawn of the north', and Aurora Australis, 'dawn of the south.'

The lights are created when charged particles from the sun enter Earth's atmosphere.

Usually the particles are deflected by the Earth's magnetic field, but some enter the atmosphere and collide with gas particles.

These collisions emit light in many colours, although pale green and pink are common.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Manual, told MailOnline: 'This looks amazing and it is not surprising the sight of it caused witnesses to think of aliens and the opening of a portal to another dimension.

'These fantastic possibilities are shot down by the prosaic explanation that this strange light phenomena was caused by the testing of an intercontinental missile. 

'This seems like a poor explanation for something so spectacular but other rocket launches have caused similar spectacles.

'In particular, in December 2009 a stunning spiralling light was seen over Norway, which was caused by a failed Russian missile test. 

'They may not be of an alien origin but we can certainly admire their beauty, even if they are caused by weapons of mass destruction.'

A similar light was seen in the skies over Norway in December 2009, which was caused by a failed missile launch. 

Speaking to Barents Observer at the time, Dr Truls Lynne Hansen, a researcher at the Tromso Geophysical Observatory, said: 'The missile has probably come out of control and exploded.

'The peculiar spiral shaped light pattern comes from reflection of the sun in the leaking fuel.'

Former Navy officer tells us what he saw hidden in Antarctica

A naval officer tells us what he remembers, including seeing a huge opening in the ice in a no-fly area they were crossing with a medical emergency on board. Then he ferried a group of scientists who had disappeared for two weeks and has specifically been warned not to refer again to this subject. As he put it, “they looked scared.

Antarctica has long been considered one of the most mysterious places on Earth. Therefore, it is not strange that numerous ‘conspiracy theories, claims, and accounts’ have been proposed throughout the years, trying to explain some of the many enigmatic occurrences on Earth’s most isolated continent.

For years people have claimed that Antarctica is one of the most guarded places on Earth for a good reason.

Many authors have proposed that there are many interesting things hidden beneath Antarctica that are kept away from society.

Talk about ancient civilization inhabiting Antarctica has existed for decades. What if, in the distant past, when Earth –and Antarctica— was much different than today, an ancient civilization developed there, creating fascinating structures, monuments and temples?

Would we find evidence of their existence today? Many people claim that we already have.

But why has Antarctica become a ‘center’ for conspiracy theories?

Perhaps one of the greatest reasons is because it is so isolated and you can’t just travel there as you wish. Furthermore, even though we know about Antarctica only for a little over 100 years, there are numerous ancient maps that depict parts of Antarctica free of ice.

One of the most controversial maps was without a doubt composed in 1513, by Turkish Admiral Piri Reis who drew a map that would create a global debate over 500 years after him. The map depicts Antarctica which was discovered between 1818-1820.

But how is this possible? The history of Antarctica emerges from early Western theories of a vast continent, known as Terra Australis, believed to exist in the far south of the globe. The term Antarctic, referring to the opposite of the Arctic Circle, was coined by Marinus of Tyre in the 2nd century AD.

In 1820, several expeditions claimed to have been the first to have sighted the ice shelf or the continent. Interestingly, a Russian expedition was led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev, a British expedition was captained by Edward Bransfield and an American sealer Nathaniel Palmer participated.

The first landing was probably just over a year later when American Captain John Davis, a sealer, set foot on the ice. Norwegian Roald Amundsen finally reached the Pole on December 14, 1911, following a dramatic race with the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott.

But the above accounts are all relatively recent.

Here are ancient maps that date back over 500 years which already depict the continent, and some of them show Antarctica free of ice.

In 2012, a satellite image of Antarctica spotted a strange oval-shaped formation in one of the most remote places on the planet. Thousands of miles from modern society, the strange oval-shaped structure raised numerous questions among experts.

At 400-feet across, experts analyzing the image ask whether or not this ‘structure’ could be the result of Mother Nature. The unusual shape of the structure suggests it may be man-made formation.

The above image is just one of the many odd things that have been found on Antarctica and many authors and whistleblowers claim there’s more to Antarctica than we’ve ever been told.

What is referred to as a ‘truly shocking an

d astonishing video on extremely strange events in the Antarctic continent’ has recently been uploaded to YouTube, causing a social network debate about Antarctica and what’s really there.

“A naval officer tells us what he remembers, including seeing a huge opening in the ice in a no-fly area they were crossing with a medical emergency on board. Then he ferried a group of scientists who had disappeared for two weeks, and has specifically been warned not to refer again to this subject. As he put it, “they looked scared.” When they returned to McMurdo, their gear was isolated and they were flown back to Christchurch, New Zealand in a special plane. He discusses what he saw and experienced in detail. This is the most provocative story about what is going on in Antarctica ever presented anywhere.”

What do you think? Is there anything strange to Antarctica? Is Antarctica just an isolated, frozen continent? Or is there perhaps more to it, as many conspiracy theorists and whistleblowers claim?
