That would be some lifeforms to sustain themselves under such pressure and radiation. _________________

Quote: Planet X disproved Harrington died in January 1993, without having found Planet X.[36] Six months before, Myles Standish had used data from Voyager 2's 1989 flyby of Neptune, which had revised the planet's total mass downward by 0.5%?an amount comparable to the mass of Mars[36]?to recalculate its gravitational effect on Uranus.[37] When Neptune's newly determined mass was used in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Developmental Ephemeris (JPL DE), the supposed discrepancies in the Uranian orbit, and with them the need for a Planet X, vanished.[3] Moreover, there are no discrepancies in the trajectories of any space probes such as Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 that can be attributed to the gravitational pull of a large undiscovered object in the outer Solar System.[38] Today, most astronomers agree that Planet X, as Lowell defined it, does not exist.

Have you read "Chariots of the Gods" ?? I read that in the 80s and loved it. It got me started on this kind of research. |

The magnetic poles do that. It can be inconvenient at times.
Geomagnetic reversal is pretty well-documented and the causes basically seem to boil down to the periodic disturbance of the dynamo flow within the core. Causes for this are still occasionally debated - models indicate spontaneous chaotic flow events that lead to reversal, but some insist that an external force such as mantle plume activity, subduction or that old favourite the bolide impact, is necessary.
However it happens, what we observe is the occurrence of chaotic fluid flow patterns in the core. This leads to reduction in magnetic field strength (we're currently observing a decline in field strength, falling for the past 2,000 years or so, although it is still within the range of normal non-reversal-related fluctuation) and a migration of magnetic north. Why is it accelerating? Its called chaotic flow for a good reason.

Quite the opposite. If scientists blindly believed what we read in textbooks and what figures of authority said, we'd still believe the Earth was a 6,000 year-old disc located at the centre of the Universe.

Sub-brown dwarf stars are interesting. Some of them are pretty much indistinguishable from the 'hot Jupiters', so there are plenty of ways for 'exotic' life chemistry to operate, and its possible that enough internal heat could be generated to sustain a basic ecosystem, even in complete darkness. The recent discovery in California of that bacterium which survives in what was previously considered totally inhospitable by substituting ars-enic for phosphorous highlights the observation that life crops up in every environment found on Earth's surface, no matter how extreme.

There are disasters all the time.
But, hey let's look at what is going on "right now" Mike. I assume you were alive back in 1986 like most of us here? The Amiga was just taking shape. Guess what else was happening!?!?
DISASTER!! The end of the WORLD!
Chernobyl!! Yes. Many of us spent our April of 1986 wondering if radiation was going to come across the ocean and poison us. Just like many people will spend April of 2011 I suppose.
Bombing of Lybia! Yes. April of 1986 we watched the news as we waited to see what would become of Gaddafi and his regime in much the same way many of will do this April 2011 I suppose.
Did the world end in 1986..87..88..89....???
No one can predict the future. Not even fleecy moss.

Severe weather happens. Nothing new there, and we know about past events where the weather was worse with no alien starships involved at all.
Severe earthquakes? You're right that they go under-reported, but there is a reason why. 'Magnitude 7 Earthquake Happens in Middle of Nowhere, No-one Affected!' doesn't make for a very good headline. There have been two big ones and one really big one that have happened near some major population centres this year. Bad luck, yes. Humanitarian disaster, also yes. Sign of the coming apocalypse? No, not really.
Mass animal deaths? Well, they don't have as much habitat as they used to, and they're often under much greater survival pressures now than before. But its all down to some really rather mundane reasons, almost all of which are due to expanding human societies..
Early sunrise? The article you link to tells us that the sun rose at the expected time in Fairbanks, Alaska (of course), and provides an explanation for the early apparent sunrise in Greenland as being linked to thinning of the ice sheets. Which makes sense. Imagine the sun rising from behind a hill. Then remove the hill and watch in amazement as the sun rises early tomorrow!
Mammoths? The only mammoth remains dating conclusively to around the 3700 years before present range are the pygmy mammoths of Wrangel Island. The rest had all died out some time previously.
And of course the cosmic rays thing. 19% higher than anything seen in the past 50 years, eh? So presumably, they were last this high in 1960... Last edited by T-J on 03-Apr-2011 at 11:46 PM.

It's interesting. We know life can exist under extreme pressures in our oceans, maybe life can exist under massive gravitational conditions as well.
The Sumerians claim their gods to be human-like, such life may be more likely on an orbiting planet. Within our solar system Io is an interesting celestral body, a moon of jupiter. This moon is being kept hot underneath its surface by Jupiter's gravitational pull despite being located so far from the sun (it has a molten core like the earth does).Last edited by MikeB on 03-Apr-2011 at 11:47 PM.

Maybe or before this this wasn't being measured. For example the earth was reported by scientists to be on average a little less than 1 degree Celsius warmer than it was 100 years ago. Before this there isn't sufficient data to make any bolder claims.
Actually I think the pioneering was done in the 70s.Last edited by MikeB on 03-Apr-2011 at 11:57 PM.

Seems the Ring of Fire, has increased it's activity.
Active volcanoes both in Kamtjatka and Japan, as well as Hawaii atm.

Latest Earthquake today, Tsunami warning for the island of Java.

On a historical timescale, perhaps the activity might seem to be increased. Remember that these things do not operate like clockwork. But on a geological timescale, we are seeing nothing remarkable.
The tsunami warning is for a 7.1 magnitude earthquake that occurred at 20:00 GMT. It is now 00:25 GMT. Hence, the US tsunami warning centre advises a very low chance of a local tsunami.
edit - as of 00:35, the Indonesian authorities have lifted the tsunami warning. Magnitude 7 Earthquake Happens in Middle of Nowhere!

True, satellite records start in 1958 and they're the best ones.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Instrumental data goes back into the mid 19th Century in most areas, and we have other tools to apply as well. We also have other options to deal with cosmic rays:
Levels of solar activity determine how much cosmic radiation gets in to Earth - low solar activity leads to a weakened heliosphere, allowing more cosmic rays into the solar system. We're currently coming out of a fairly deep solar minimum comparable with other recorded minima. We've been recording solar activity for centuries, too - we just didn't know that's what the sunspots meant.Last edited by T-J on 04-Apr-2011 at 12:40 AM.

This is what happens when people that has knowledge in astronomy, charlatans that is, try to lure "ordinary people" to given them their money. I can see the billboards in front of me:
Quote:
Have you bought your Niburu insurance yet?
Buy Niburu proof umbrellas here.
Help us save Earth, donate to a Niburu crushing warhead now! |
and so on.
A planetary body of that size would have been detected decades ago especially if it was moving in-system. We who know astronomy is just leaning back and watch the idiocy unfold.Last edited by Niolator on 04-Apr-2011 at 09:15 AM. Last edited by Niolator on 04-Apr-2011 at 09:15 AM.
