Salvation Part 2

Salvation Part 2

In the last couple of episodes they start talking about an EM drive to propel a rocket to the asteroid to use a gravity tractor. Before we discuss the EM drive we will discuss how conventional rockets work. They basically work by pushing material out of the rear of rocket at a high speed and pushing the rocket in the opposite direction

Initial = in motiom

m_gasv_gas+m_rocketv_rocket=m¹_gasv¹_gas+m¹_rocketv¹_rocket

since both gas and rocket start with 0 velocity

0+0==m¹_gasv¹_gas+m¹_rocketv¹_rocket

-m¹_gasv¹_gas=m¹_rocketv¹_rocket

-(m¹_gas/m¹_rocket)v¹_gas=m¹_rocket

you notice that there is a negative sign in front of v¹_gas which means it is the opposite direction of that to the rocket.

An EM drive uses electromagnet waves to push the rocket instead of burning chemicals to push the rocket. EM waves do have energy that can be converted to a force but to this time there has been no official well know proof on concept. The EM drive has one benefit if someone does get to work is that it does not need to carry fuel with it.

One option that probably that could be used is to try to break up the asteroid by nuclear explosives. This will open a can of worms, such as you will not how it break up, If the asteroid is solid the explosions might do little, if is made mostly of ice it will break up into thousands of pieces, and if it is a rubble pile type of asteroid it could break up and go many different directions,

The best option is to find the asteroid as soon as possible by investing in observatories that constantly keep an eye on the sky. This is one of the few natural disasters that we can do something about and we need to invest mor in detecting so we don’t have only months to react to it.

Why you should save your money and not go and see any mediums and psychics

Mediums in general a fakes. They use techniques known as cold reading or hot reading. Cold readings is when they go into an audience and start saying someone here lost someone with a letters like sort. These are two most common used letters used for names and most people going to see such shows are looking for closer from a lost. After they someone says yes that is me, they start looking for clues about the person from what the person in front of them is doing and saying. Like if they see someone younger
with them this is probably a son or daughter. Also they take guesses people will only remember how many times the medium or psychic gets something right and forget how many guesses are wrong. In hot reading psychic will do research on the person that they are reading, Some people like public figures are fairly easy to research because if a spouse or loved one passes it probably will documented in the media somewhere, Others might take a little work such as searching public records for deaths, marriages and births but for most people it could be done. One had people fill out questionnaires and later had his wife talk to him via radio. The skeptical investigator James Randi detected the transmissions and demonstrated the transmissions to the public and this psychic’s popularity went down for a while is coming back now.

These techniques have been around for over a century and there have been people investigating them since. One the first people to investigating the claims was Harry Houdini. He was a committee that investigated psychics and he himself went undercover to investigate and no one ever one the prize. Houdini and his actually went as far as setting a code phrase for after his death, More recently there was a one million dollar prize offered by the Jame Randi Educational Foundation for anyone who could demonstrate there abilities and while the prize was offered no one claimed it. Sylvia Brown who had a Vegas show based on her abilities said on The Larry King show she would go thru the testing but latter claimed she could not find the telephone number to set up a meeting. There are many other prizes around the world, like the Australian Skeptics 100,000 prize.

Everyone would like to talk their love ones that a no longer here no matter what your beliefs are. But there is no proof that they do what they claim to do. There was a lady who worked with me at a call center and one time she went to psychic fair. She went to a medium and the medium said she had a son with name that started with the letter L. She went along and said yes and the medium kept going. She does have a son but the name does not start with L but her dog Lance-a-lot does, after the reading she revealed this to medium.

Salvation

What happens if you are Elon Musk type Multi billionaire, a single mom who works as PR agent for the Department of Defense, or a young student are all told one biggest secrets, The student who not only found a girl who wrote sci-fi but also that night finds out the end of the world might be coming. They all find out that there is a large asteroid that if it hits the world will wipe out most of the life on the Earth. The asteroid is of course found by observational astronomer first and then is reported to NASA. NASA and the DOD decide to keep it quiet and send a rocket to the asteroid and leave a satellite in orbit around the asteroid. The satellite will have a small gravitational pull on it but it would be enough to deflect the asteroid from hitting the Earth, this called a gravitational tractor, this probably will be the most likely way to deflect such a rock. Blowing it up in the movie Armageddon would just break it up and you would up with thousands of impacts vs. just one. (the science consultant must of had some knowledge of this.) Eventually a theoretician catches up and detects by using the effects on other objects nearby, The next day All three finds out about NASA plans and that evening the billionaire says the government plan won’t work and plans on being a modern day Noah and build arks that go to Mars and rebuild the human race.
There is good reason why you wouldn’t tell the truth about such an object and that is some people would not take well. When Hale-Bopp comet came into the inner solar system 39 individuals committed suicide because they thought it was a way of getting on an UFO that was in the comets tail. There would also probably be many religious groups who would use this as some kind of symbol for this or that.
It really looks good from my point of view. I wouldn’t want to be the PR agent, you thought keeping Trumps stuff under control just imagine about the end of the world coming. I wonder if each episode will represent a day or week if it is by day we have 185 episodes left.

Stellar Misconceptions

In part of the video the present talks about a star cluster where there are new stars being formed in a globular cluster. A globular clusters are the oldest objects in the universe. They consists mostly of stars that are at the end of there life spans so they are in their whit dwarf phase of their lives. But in some clusters there seems to be younger stars being formed in the star cluster. They scientists working on the project says the stars are forming out of interstellar material. The presenter states that stellar expulsions are said to only push away the outer layers of a star. The stars in a globular clusters are in a sphere starting around 32 light years with a mass of tens of thousands that of the sun. So the stars are packed in there. In the paper the scientists thought it the gas that formed the younger stars came from the gas from around the cluster but the spectra do not match. My idea is that the stellar winds and expulsions could of pushed some of the gases together and formed clumps that could form the younger stars.

Stellar Mysteries Deepens
In this article they present the results of a study of globular cluster M4. In this cluster some stars are jumping rhe red giant stage and going straight to the white dwarf phase of their evolution, The stars that are doing this are sodium rich/oxygen poor stars. Now in the video they skip over the content of the stars but the presenter cherry picks a couple of quotes stating that this defies the models have been done on these types of stars and how the standard model most be thrown out. To a scientist this means that someone has to go back and do more simulations until they can figure out what is going on in the stars. This how science works you come up with an idea, run an experiment or take observations, analyze your data and come to a conclusion. Analyzing data does not mean look at a photograph or read an online article and come to conclusions about that. For a study like this this probably means taking spectrum of the stars and taking other measurements.

One assumption that the presenter and many electric universe proponents claim is that electrons flow in and positive charged ions flow out. This is contrary to what real measurements have found were it is a mix of electrons, positive ions and alpha particles flow from the sun.

Electrical global warming

Now the fine fellows at thunderbolts are claiming climate change is caused by electric currents form the sun. They do have one thing right and that is global warming has been going since the planet first formed. It is that the climate change has increased over the last 150 years and that humans have had an influence over it that is of concern. They lump climate change in with gravitational wave detectors, fusion power research, LHC and dark energy and matter as great wastes of money, if you mean research that is getting results, trying to provide cleaner power and trying to figure out how the universe ticks then yes they are wastes of money.
A term that they use in the first video is “settled science”,science by its nature is not settled. Science is a combination of measuring, studying, experimenting, modelling and theorizing. The theory and model have to match the measured data from either experiments or observations, And science is constantly refining and sometimes if it has to reinventing theories. In the second video they go on about “astronomer priests”. In the past the night sky was used by priests to tell the stories of the gods and to predict the future in the cause of astrology. One of the last astronomers that also did horoscopes was Kepler. Then they say astronomers have made people fearful as possible asteroids or comets collisions with the Earth which have happened and will happen in the future.
In the first video they discuss how the thunderstorms on Jupiter and Saturn are much more violent and then one Earth so means there is another source of energy than the radiant heat from the sun. At least on Saturn they are models on how the storms are generated and is most of just how gases at different densities interact. In the atmosphere there is water, hydrogen, helium and other gases. The water is less dense then the hydrogen and helium so it sinks. The hydrogen and helium gets colder and denser and eventually sinks, while this going on the water moisture is getting warmer. The moisture layer rises and when these layers collide and mix a giant thunderstorm is formed. This model also explains why little ammonia is present is because it is rained out as the warm moisture rises.
Near the end of the first video he brings up cyclone Tracy that nearly wiped out Darwin a city on the northern reaches of Australia. There were claims of a diffuse lightening or a St Elmo’s fire seen at 3 am. St Elmo’s fire is actually a plasma that is generated around sharp objects that are in a electric field generated by a strong electric field such as a thunderstorm or volcanic discharge. They go one stating how the storm be so active even if there is no direct sunlight to fuel the storm. The thing is the atmosphere stores a lot of energy, the motion of the planet and the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and you can get a big storm.
One of the main tropes of the electric universe is that Venus can not be a twin of the Earth that the green house effect has gone haywire. They prefer to think that it is still cooling down from when it was ejected from Jupiter and bounced around the solar system until it got into its present orbit (not the mainstream view at all).Venus is considered what happens when the greenhouse effect is allowed to get out of control at a temperature of 460 C this is because the atmosphere is made from 96.5% carbon dioxide thus the greenhouse effect is much larger.
Like most other global warming deniers the damage that they are doing is preventing us from trying find a real solution to the problem. While people are discussing whether or not it is happening the effects are getting worse.

7 planets found around one star

About 2o years ago I was driving back from university with my grandfather and then he mentioned how they found planets around other stars. He found this by watching a program on PBS. The fist few were gas giants close to their star called Hot Jupiters. Between now and then there have been many more planets found from smaller then the Earth to larger than Jupiter. Today around a small star that is cooler than the Sun, Nasa released that 7 planets have been around a star called TRAPPIST-1. Three of these planets are in a zone where liquid water can exists, these zones around stars are called habitable zones or Goldilocks zones. These planets are so close that you could look up and see details of the other planets
