Ramblings
There are those that keep talking about parallel universes. This is just something I cannot believe in. If one studies the odds of other universes existing, they would be far more unfavorable than winning the lottery. I am talking about finding other universes that mimic our own and have copies or the originals of us in them. There are some things which just seem too incredible to believe. I have often said I feel the same way about time travel to the past where the past is alive for us. I do admit however, there might be some sort of images of the past we could someday see or ancient voices we could detect if we had the right equipment, if it ever exists. I don’t think any of us will be hunting dinosaurs back in the past.
Did you ever wonder what was the greatest archaeological find? There are so many to choose from. One of the most popular is the Great Pyramid. I can understand why. This object was the highest structure for thousands of years, until the old Saint Paul’s Cathedral was built in 1221. It was about 489 feet tall and took 200 years to build. The Great Pyramid is 481 feet tall. I guess if one is going for the most incredible structures the Great Pyramid has to be at, or near the top. It would not be my first choice however. Ignoring the fact there are said to be other more ancient pyramids which are being hidden from us, such as one said to exist in Antarctica and another in Bosnia. There could be bigger pyramids we haven’t been told about.
When I look at what puzzles me the most in ancient construction there are two places that really amaze me. The first place is Baalbek in Lebanon. There is a stone platform there known as the Trilithon which has huge stones, so heavy at up to 2000 tones, we really can’t figure out how they were moved, we can only make guesses. All the guesses how the stones were moved and then lifted into position have been said to be impossible by some engineers and scientists. The other site which just can’t be explained is Puma Punku in Bolivia. The site has the most incredibly cut stones which were cut in such a way each one mirrors the next and they fit together like Legos. There are no machine marks of any kind on the ancient stones which we can’t duplicate today. I believe Puma Punku is the most amazing site of all the ancient sites because it demonstrates such advanced technology which shouldn’t have existed back then. There are many who claim this site was an extraterrestrial one, but no one knows this for sure.
Sometimes technology can frustrate us. I recently had an experience where I needed to replace my cable remote. It worked the cable box correctly, but would not turn on my television. I tried to have it do a search for the correct code which was outlined in the instructions but after an hour gave up on that. Next, I went to option B which was to set it up to receive codes manually entered and that didn’t work. You can imagine how annoying this was becoming by now. I finally went online to see if I could find help and low and behold there was instructions which also included a step which had not been listed in the instructions and when I did that, it connected and got control of the television. Another gripe I have is why do they have to print the instructions so small; it is almost like they want to make things harder. Do they laugh in China when they print them in English?
Every time I turn around there is a debate on whether Dark Energy exists or not. I believe the term Dark Energy was only invented to fill in and make the theories on the universe work. Somebody said how could this or that be happening and someone else said it must be some unknown force causing this, I think I will call it Dark Energy. Some physicists are saying Dark Energy doesn’t exist, but admitting this leaves a lot to be explained about the expanding universe. One thing which was found out was the universe is not expanding equally in all directions which challenges a 100 years old theory. I guess we will just have to keep our eyes on this and wait for a final solution.
NASA seems to have lumped their Moon and Mars programs together in a way. One of the things they are suggesting is the use of nuclear fission to power things on Mars. Yes, I know, this will ultimately lead to having to bury the radioactive waste and polluting Mars. There has been much talk, not by NASA however, on zero-point power which comes from space itself and is so powerful a tea cup full could probably power the country for months. Decades ago, there was demonstrations of this power so by now it should have been solved. Is zero-point power being hidden because it is free and comes ready made from space? I don’t believe the power companies would be too happy about this and neither would the oil companies.
Avi Loeb, a Harvard professor who has an interest in possible extraterrestrial life, wrote an article on extraterrestrial mirror life. It discusses the possibility that extraterrestrial life might be mirror life. This seems to indicate it might have different qualities which might affect our DNA which our natural defenses are helpless against. In a way this is what I have mentioned about the dangers of bacteria and germs from a meeting between a human and an extraterrestrial. Even a meeting between two humans could be dangerous if one is sick and we don’t know it, so imagine how much more dangerous an alien bacterium might be.
There are quite a few dwarf planets in our solar system. Ceres is located in the asteroid belt and an investigation was conducted by NASA on it and Vesta another dwarf planet. NASA was interested in these objects because they are the two largest ones in the asteroid belt. I don’t think NASA was expecting to find much on them but they did get a surprise. They found Ceres had water and geological activity. Researchers have found indications of the existence of organic materials. It is believed these materials were delivered by asteroids or comets. Could this mean we will find alien life on other planets and possibly moons which came from this type of material?
