Where Ancient History, Ancient Religion, and Comparative Mythology meet Cosmology creating Imagery, and Traditions we see and use all around us still today.
With no explanation for the surrounding crater, mainstream astronomy imagines this to be a hole leading to an underground cavern. The challenges to this view should be obvious.
The HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is delivering to us some delicious, high resolution pictures of Mar’s surface features. There are more than enough anomalous features to instigate a re-evaluation of current planetology theory, but the lack of such is a testament to the power of a paradigm and the momentum of prevailing opinion.
This distinctive crater on the surface of Mars is about 35 meters in diameter and the center hole is unusually deep, about 20 meters. The crater and the surrounding area are devoid of the earmarks of an impact, and astronomers must be at a loss to even speculate about the cause of the crater.
They imagine the hole to be an underground cavern or leading to a cavern, but this is pure speculation with no evidence except, “What else could it be?”
Another circular hole the size of a football field and having a slight rim, with no crater around it, can be seen on the side of Arsia Mons. You can hardly figure that these very regular or smooth sided holes can be caused by collapse from a cavern below.
On the other hand, the EU view has long been that circular craters are overwhelmingly the product of interplanetary, rotating vertical electric discharges that machine away the material via EDM. These do so by virtue of “sticking” to a spot and rotating about the point. Besides the significant similarities of these circular craters, the differences can easily be explained by the possible variables in an electrical discharge, different polarity, charge differential, current flows, material conductivity, duration, intensity, charge capacity from the surrounding area, etc.
Sometimes these discharges, while accelerating material away, have left ridges piled around the crater along with significant scattered material apparent in the surrounding area. Sometimes they have left an undisturbed central peak, or a flat floor, or in this case a floor sloping down to the definitive circular hole in the center. The EU speculation for this Martian surface feature would be that this discharge was particularly intense at the end, drilled a smaller circular hole and lofted most of the machined material into space, leaving very little remaining debris.

Discussed by Angie Hobbs, lecturer in philosophy at the University of Warwick
Plato believed that everyone wants to be a flourishing human being, and that philosophy is the way to find out how to achieve this, which in his day was a relatively new discipline. One of his most radical moves was to equate human flourishing and happiness with what he calls an inner harmony of our psyche. If you look at Homer and all the Greek poets who came before him, it was an external matter. Plato said that justice and virtue are really interior to you - they are about the inner state of your soul. This was later developed by the Christians into your 'conscience'. It was an enormously important move in the history of Western ethics and religion, and had a big impact on the development of Christianity.
Sun-centred (Copernican) Theory of the Universe
Discussed by Dr Robert Massey of the Royal Astronomical Society
Cartesian Cogito
Discussed by John Cottingham, professor of philosophy at Reading University and contributor to The Cambridge Companion to Descartes
By declaring 'cogito ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am), Descartes put the thinking subject at the centre of his enquiry. Instead of starting with physics and the natural world, he started with this individual meditator. And he made a distinction between mind and matter, the province of science which dealt with the quantifiable and that part of reality which couldn't ever be reduced to science, namely consciousness and thought. Descartes is rightly called the father of modern philosophy. His perspective on thought and consciousness as lying outside the spheres of natural science was a really significant idea which we are still trying to come to terms with. His ideas opened up the possibility of a serious study of perception and psychological space.
Theory of Universal Gravitation
Discussed by Professor Martin Rees, professor of cosmology and astrophysics at Cambridge University
Newton's theory was the first demonstration that maths could be used to understand the natural world. We can predict eclipses a century ahead because the systems of the orbits of the planets are actually quite simple. Had Newton not existed it might have been a century or more before anyone else came up with the idea. The concept of the clockwork universe (that the universe was governed by mathematical laws) was very important in 18th-century culture. Newton's gravity is still the basis whereby programmes are made that send space probes to the the planets.
Adam Smith's Laissez-Faire Economics
Discussed by Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize for Economics and chair of the Brooks World Poverty Institute at Manchester University
Adam Smith's major economic idea, or one strand of it, was that in pursuit of their self-interest, individuals would be led, as if by an invisible hand, to the common good. It was revolutionary because it said you don't need a benevolent despot to ensure that the general welfare is pursued; markets are all you need. The view underlies things like Thatcherism, the ideas that the World Bank exports to the developing world, and is also behind the rhetoric of some of Bush's policies. But there's a second strand to Smith's idea, less spoken about by the free marketeers, which is clear on the need for governments to intervene in some areas. Smith's Invisible Hand has now been discredited but it continues to have a lot of influence, good and bad. We learn from it the power of the market but taking away trade barriers has exposed developing countries to an onslaught of subsidised agricultural goods, destroying their capacities in agriculture and leading to famine.
Women's Liberation
Discussed by Lynne Segal, professor of psychology and gender studies at Birkbeck University
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) is incredibly important because it shows that women have always been there at moments of radical thinking and emancipatory and liberatory thoughts. Mary Wollstonecraft was critical of all the ways women are trapped within notions of femininity which she felt were belittling. At the end of the 19th century women were troubled by her radicalism (she thought they should choose free lives just like men). It's not until second-wave feminism in the 1960s that women returned to the voice of Wollstonecraft. It took quite a long while for the world in general to catch up, but if she hadn't been there I think somebody else would have been. She was very important, but I don't believe in this idea of single figures changing history.
Marxist Analysis of Capitalism
Discussed by Tony Benn, writer/politician
Marx's analysis is uniquely important because it studied the development of modern capitalism. He said the conflict in the world is not between genders and races, it's between the 95 per cent who create the world's wealth and the 5 per cent who own it. His analysis of where power lay explained it so clearly that the people who were being exploited realised this. He gave us the best explanation of what was going on at the time, and it's even more relevant today. Capitalism has got stronger but people are beginning to understand what it's about. He helps people to understand for example, that America invaded Iraq because they wanted the oil. And don't forget his moral judgment - anyone could have written a book about capitalism, but he said it was wrong. That's what gives strength to it. I think Marx's ideas are inextricable from the idea of democracy. Stalin distorted them to justify a dictatorship but you can't blame Marx for that. Stalin has nothing to do with Marx in the way the Spanish Inquisition have nothing to do with Jesus.
Theory of the Unconscious
Discussed by Professor Susie Orbach, psychoanalyst and visiting professor of sociology at the London School of Economics
Freud explored the way in which human behaviour is guided by the unconscious, which inclines one to do things which are not necessarily in one's conscious mind or felt to be in one's best interests. He was the first to say that if we let people talk in a particular kind of setting they will discover things, through dreams and slips of the tongue, that are much more complicated than the story they have about themselves. This opened up a notion that we could be curious in relation to ourselves; he made the human's relationship to its own mind and other minds a subject for study. Almost everything we understand about romance, art, culture, the movies, the problems between the sexes, refer to a kind of Freudian moment where we understand that we are more complex than we know. We're all post Freudian now. We believe that emotions are a critical part of what motivates people. The whole rationalist argument has been knocked on the head.
Theory of Relativity
Discussed by Professor Brian Cox, Royal Society University Research Fellow
Einstein's theory completely changed the world. It doesn't seem like it at first sight because it's a strange theory - it says things like there's no such thing as a universal time, so if you have a clock ticking in one place it ticks at a different speed to a clock ticking in another place, so it sounds very esoteric. Actually, it's the foundation of every modern theory we have of the way the world works, whether it's electricity and magnetism or silicon chips or transistors - all those theories are based on relativity. Without relativity we couldn't have the modern view of the world that we have today. For example, the GPS system, satellite navigation: it's bizarre because it works by measuring the time delay between your car and satellites in orbit.
World Wide Web
Discussed by Professor John Naughton of the Public Understanding of Technology, Open University
In less than two decades the web has gone from zero to hundreds of billions of pages (nobody knows how many), enabled everyone to become a publisher or broadcaster, brought the Louvre to your laptop and made it much, much harder to keep secrets. Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web more or less single-handedly in 1989-90, is our Gutenberg. Gutenberg invented printing by movable type in 1455, undermining the authority of the Catholic church, fuelling the Reformation, enabling the rise of modern science and shaping our world. The web is a technology of comparable reach and scope. Trying to assess the long-term significance of the web is like trying to forecast the impact of printing in 1475. Come back in 300 years and we'll know more.
Rough Notes:
Many ancient cultures believed we live in an illusion or dream.
Reality is a Hologram
November 2011
Today, as physicists examine the fabric of the cosmos more closely, many are considering that the reality in which we experience, is indeed a hologram in which all is projected illusion. According to the documentary, it originates from 2D projected into 3D with no mention of what is behind the 'camera' that sets everything in motion ... the source of consciousness waiting for souls to remember it. The show aligns all of this with black holes, more to the point the outside of the black hole - the event horizon.
How curious this was for me to hear as I have always understood about the 'eye' in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (a black hole that emits tones) as the center of creation, through which souls virtually came here and will soon leave. Further, as of mid-October, I have seen myself entering the event horizon of this simulation. There I see the black (antimatter) monolithic-shaped objects that are the final projections into the simulation as we come to the end of the biogenetic experiment we consider reality. The bottom line ... we are projected illusion in a biogenetic experiment created in space and time - to study emotions.
Scientist Rick Henson commented -- "I'm 2D living in a 3D Holographic Projection" -- The end of "What Is Space" was about black holes storing up data on the outside of its shell ... and that we are all just projections of the 2D data stored in black holes. It was a fabulous presentation, and I'm sure Matrix fans loved it, too. For traditional religious followers it must have been pure heresy. What a show. Makes a lot more sense regarding the end of the program, also, because an end of a program is no more than the data storage system no longer projecting form from a certain area of data. In other words...we get rebooted out of existence. Pretty cool ... and being stuck is merely the projector asleep, letting the reel run longer than the original director intended. What a world.
I took a few snapshots and was not surprised that the featured colors were my favorites ... blue and black ... with thoughts of Steve Jobs, always in those colors, programing events in the grids.
One day time itself will lose its meaning. Einstein said that time is experienced individually for each person. The distinction of past, present and future is only an illusion. Time doesn't exist in the sense of a universal tick tock. It is all about perception. Motion through space affects the passage of time. Space and time are fused together in what is called space-time. Motion slows the passage of time. Gravity, like motion can affect time. The strong the gravitational pulse, the more time slows, the effect may be too small to notice. We don't seem to be able to prove that time travel is possible or impossible. We experience through the illusion of time, but because of our scientific discoveries, we can also look beyond experience and recognize that we are part of a far richer and far stranger reality.
Two Diamonds Linked by Strange Quantum Entanglement Live Science - December 1, 2011 Scientists have linked two diamonds in a mysterious process called entanglement that is normally only seen on the quantum scale. Entanglement is so weird that Einstein dubbed it "spooky action at a distance." It's a strange effect where one object gets connected to another so that even if they are separated by large distances, an action performed on one will affect the other. Entanglement usually occurs with subatomic particles, and was predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics, which governs the realm of the very small. But now physicists have succeeded in entangling two macroscopic diamonds, demonstrating that quantum mechanical effects are not limited to the microscopic scale.
Ellie's Entanglements
Einstein spoke about "spooky action at a distance" between two entangled particles. Let's say you have two particles that have become entangled. Now one particle can instantaneously tell what the other one is doing without being anywhere near it. It's like telepathy. The two particles can be anywhere in the universe (universal grid), yet remain connected. This could explain a lot about our personal relationships. It's called quantum entanglement - and like our brains - is based on Binary Code (0101011) ... while the program itself is created by the Fibonacci sequence (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13) - again it begins and ends with zero and ones or 11. The 11 in 2011 is ending which takes us down to 0. Reality
Further, you know how some people are able to see the deterioration of the grids. Check out this article from Wired News that takes it all back to the Eye (the eye of time) and everything I've been blogging about for 16 years.
How to See Quantum Entanglement Wired - June 2, 2010 Human eyes can detect the spooky phenomenon of quantum entanglement - but only sometimes, a new study on the physics preprint website arXiv.org claims. While eyes can help determine if two individual photons were recently entangled, they canÕt tell if the brighter bunch of photons that actually hit the retina are in this bizarre quantum state. In general you think these quantum phenomena that involve only a few particles, theyÕre really far removed from us. That is actually not so true anymore, said physicist Nicolas Brunner of the University of Bristol. You could really go to an experiment by just having people look at these photons, and from there really actually see entanglement.
The Possibility of Using Quantum Entanglement to Transmit Information Dr. Michio Kaku - 2011 [2:12] Good explanation from Dr. Michio Kaku who explains how Einstein scoffed at the idea of quantum entanglement, calling it 'spooky action at a distance.' And while it has in fact been proven to exist, this entanglement canÕt be used to transmit any usable information. Does Einstein still have the last laugh?
Fabric of the Universe Quantum Leap NOVA - November 16, 2011 Physicists Brian Greene discusses Quantum Mechanics and Spin (of course it's spin). And what location did he choose to explain 'spin'? Why Coney Island of course, at the same Amusement Park George and I had our "Fringe Experience" on 2/11/09. Is that 11/11? [View the amusement park at 26:00 on the video.] Great Video
Quantum Entanglement Encyclopedia of Science Identical twins, it's said, can sometimes sense when one of the pair is in danger, even if they're oceans apart. Tales of telepathy abound. Scientists cast a skeptical eye over such claims, largely because it isn't clear how these weird connections could possibly work. Yet they've had to come to terms with something that's no less strange in the world of physics: an instantaneous link between particles that remains strong, secure, and undiluted no matter how far apart the particles may be Ð even if they're on opposite sides of the universe. It's a link that Einstein went to his grave denying, yet its existence is now beyond dispute. This quantum equivalent of telepathy is demonstrated daily in laboratories around the world. It holds the key to future hyperspeed computing and underpins the science of teleportation. Its name is entanglement.
Quantum Entanglement Wikipedia The counterintuitive predictions of quantum mechanics about strongly correlated systems were first discussed by Albert Einstein in 1935, in a joint paper with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. In this study, they formulated the EPR paradox, a thought experiment that attempted to show that quantum mechanical theory was incomplete.
The multiverse theory (or one of them, anyway) suggests that just outside of our universe, other universes are appearing and disappearing, each in their own bubble of space-time. Generally, these universes don't get close enough to interact, but sometimes a universe will appear right next to ours, and when that happens, we get smacked. Getting smacked by an entire universe would definitely leave a mark. Specifically, it would leave a disk-like pattern in our universeÕs cosmic microwave background radiation, and this is what a group of cosmologists from University College London have been looking for. Somewhat incredibly, they managed to find some of these bruises. Four of them. And it's ten times more likely that the four marks are universe collision signatures than that they are anything else that we know of.
