Gentlemen:

Professor Pugach of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine,
Dimitrie Olenici of Suceava, Romania, and I have written a paper
about the results of various experiments that we performed during
the solar eclipse of 1 August 2008. The anomalous results
appeared to be consistent, indeed correlated. You may be
interested to download a preprint of this paper (about 900K)
from:

http://www.allais.info/docs/pugarticle.pdf

And here is an alternative location (in case the one above gives
trouble):

Comments would be appreciated.

The good news is that the book lists a brief summary
of each of the predictions from the mildest to the
wildest, including some helpful illustrations.
The bad news is that even with three chapters of
conclusion material, no clear conclusions are drawn.
The technical inaccuracies and inconsistencies and
relative plausibilities of a number of the predictions
is presented, but not in a thorough or systematic way.
The most helpful references are to Goeff Stray's
website [...] for a complete up-to-date catalog of all
things 2012, and John Major Jenkin's social networking
portal [...]. If you are looking for a checklist or
grading system from the best to the worst, you will not
find it here. A comprehensive reference book at best.

Thomas Goodey,

In the remarks, page 9, of the pugarticle.pdf article, you detail the problem in
constructing two identical pendulums. It is obvious the pendulums are not in the
same exact location. The report should have noted the precise location of each
device, at least to the precision of a good GPS device, if widely separated, but
within a cm if in the same immediate location.

I realize you are working with "new science," and it is difficult to know how
much detailed information should be recorded and included in a report.

Regards, Currere101

Well, I did say that the pendulums were about 10 meters
apart, and I did give the lat-lon of the location. I agree
that the report could have been even more definite. However
the exact relative location of the pendulums was quite
difficult to ascertain, as you can see by going to
www.youtube.com and searching for "paraconical pendulum",
and having a look at the video entitled "Two Pendulums"
which shows the intricacies of the building.

I do not think that the exact distance between the
pendulums was directly relevant. The configuration of the
concrete walls might, hypothetically, have affected "aether
flow" around the pendulums, but if that is the modelization
actually required, then an enormous can of worms is opened.

Subject: New Comet in the Morning Sky

Space Weather News for June 8, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

NEW COMET McNAUGHT: A fresh comet is swinging through the inner solar
system, and it is brightening rapidly as it approaches Earth for a 100
million mile close encounter in mid-June.  Comet McNaught (C/2009 R1) has a
vivid green head and a long wispy tail that look great through small
telescopes.  By the end of the month it could be visible to the naked eye
perhaps as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper. Because this is the
comet's first visit to the inner solar system, predictions of future
brightness are necessarily uncertain; amateur astronomers should be alert
for the unexpected.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, photos and
more information.

This is the third time in only 13 months that amateur astronomers have
detected signs of impact on Jupiter. The earlier events occurred on July 19,
2009, and June 3, 2010. Jupiter is getting hit more often than conventional
wisdom would suggest, leading many researchers to call for a global network
of telescopes to monitor Jupiter 24/7 and measure the impact rate.

"Like the event of June 3rd, this fireball did not produce any visible
debris," notes John Rogers, director of the British Astronomical
Association's Jupiter section. "Here are some hi-resolution images taken 1-2
rotations before and 1-2 rotations after the event. As the observers
commented, there was no visible mark (not in RGB, nor UV, nor methane),
post-impact. Dark brown spots on the North Equatorial Belt were already
there before the fireball."

Here is a website that a correspondent called to my attention.
http://www.bethlehemstar.net/
I ordered the DVD, and I plan to watch it and let you know my reaction to
it.

The following paragraphs were written to my correspondent, and I thought you
might be interested too, although I imagine I may be repeating myself to
some degree. Nevertheless, there may be enough new ideas here that will make
it worth your time to read. Also some of you may not have read everything I
have written on this subject, and it may be news to you.

In my theory, the Star of Bethlehem is a very small but very important
periodic comet with an ephemeris that has clearly been designed by an
intelligence. There is no way that this comet's ephemeris, which has been
carefully hidden for centuries from diligent comet hunters' prying
telescopes in spite of its frequent close flybys of Earth and the Moon, can
have been an accident.

When this comet is finally discovered (the whole world will see it coming
with their naked eyes when the time comes), it will arguably be the most
important astronomical discovery in history. In my opinion, the most
striking prophecy that will be fulfilled is Revelation 13:13. "And he doeth
great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth, in
the sight of men."

If my calculations are correct, the "fire" will be a shaft of light reaching
down from a comet hanging briefly motionless overhead (6 Earth radii above
the surface) and reaching down to the Earth. This phenomenon is known in
astronomy as an anti-tail. The comet's main tail would point away from Earth
(not the Sun), and so it would be hidden behind the comet's coma from
earthbound observers. But certain spacecraft might be able to see the main
tail streaming away from the Earth.

According to my theory, this "fire" will physically be a stream of neutrons
that are decaying into hydrogen plasma as they flow upward from the Earth at
the escape velocity. The light comes from the neutron beta decay which
releases thermal energy (photons), and the temperature of this light shaft
could approach a million degrees. The same phenomenon is seen in solar
coronas during solar eclipses. (This would be news to astrophysicists who
don't know why the solar corona is that hot.) The whole world will watch
this shaft of light on global television if it happens.

I can't say for sure where the target will be on the ground, but I wouldn't
rule out Bethlehem. If so, this means that God influenced men's choice for
the site of Bethlehem when it was first built so that it would correspond to
the geographic coordinates of the light shaft target when it came. These
coordinates were established by design before men ever walked on the Earth.
There was never any question about them. God is a time traveler, and he can
fast-forward history to confirm little details like the coordinates of the
target.

These "low-altitude" comet flybys have been recurring at the same place on
Earth for millennia. The apparition before the one described in Matthew
would have been the event at Sodom and Gomorrah. I believe that the cause of
the deep depression of the Dead Sea is the repetitive neutron extractions
from the rocks under it from all these comet flybys. In a manner of
speaking, the comet sucks neutrons from unstable isotopes in Earth's rocks
under the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is in the comet's footprint while the comet
hovers above it. This would be because the Earth has an outflowing ether
wind, and the comet has an inflowing ether wind. A confirmation of this
theory will come if the ground track of the comet's footprint bisects the
Dead Sea basin and is parallel to its long axis.

After every apparition, the Dead Sea basin will sink a little deeper because
the density if the underlying rocks will have been reduced. This will be
easily confirmed with GPS observations after the next apparition. If that
happens, I will love it because conventional science has no idea how that
could possibly happen. Sodom and Gomorrah is usually dated by historians at
around 2000 BCE. So, it is clearly time for another one. The light shaft was
no doubt the inspiration for the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night
in Exodus. That is nothing any myth maker would just make up. It must have
been based upon legends handed down from observers of an actual physical
phenomenon.

Also, look for at least two such apparitions 12 days apart. The three wise
men took 12 days to reach Bethlehem by camel after having seen it first from
Babylon. It only dwells apparently motionless in the sky for about an hour
at each apparition. They would have seen it rise in the East in the
morning's daylight, move across the sky during the day following the Sun,
and hang motionless after sunset in the western sky for about an hour with
the light shaft apparently touching the ground at what they thought was
Jerusalem. They would have remembered the direction by referencing landmarks
on their western horizon.

A comet orbiting the Earth with a period of 12.00 days and a perigee
altitude of 7 Earth radii (from the center) will have an apogee distance of
1.1 Moon orbit radii and an angular velocity at perigee of 15 degrees per
hour. This rate matches Earth's rotation rate. This is how the comet could
appear to be stationary over Bethlehem for an hour or two. It will be
quasi-geosynchronous during its "low-altitude" flyby.

This comet cannot be captured in an orbit around the Earth unless it is
deflected by the Moon. It needs to slow down for capture, and this can occur
if the comet flies behind the Moon at low altitude when it is about 3.5 days
past New Moon. People should be able to watch it do this in their binoculars
and small telescopes. It would be moving east to west towards the Sun in the
sky (by line of sight, not in space). It would disappear on the left side
(shadowed side) of the Moon, and it would reappear a few minutes later on
the right side (sunlit crescent side). This is exactly what the Apollo 8
spacecraft did, by the way. To achieve lunar orbit, they had to execute a
decelerating rocket burn when they were exactly behind the Moon to slow them
down. Mission control knew they had achieved lunar orbit from the timing of
the acquisition of their radio signal.

I am reading _The Nativity -- history & legend_ by Geza Vermes. Here is what
I have learned from it so far.

	 The Magi were probably Zoroastrian priests or scholars
	 who were aware of the famous prediction of the
	 Mesopotamian non-Jewish prophet Balaam, contemporaneous
	 with Moses, about a star rising from the Jewish race.
	 The Book of Numbers 24:17 quotes Balaam as saying:
	 "A star shall come out of Jacob and a scepter shall rise
	 out of Israel." Already the ancient Greek translation
	 of the passage speaks of a "man" as the realization of
	 the metaphors of star and scepter. The theme is further
	 developed in the Damascus Document from the Dead Sea
	 Scrolls where the author, who was awaiting the arrival
	 of two Messianic figures, recognized the "Star" as the
	 priestly Messiah and the "Scepter" as the royal Messiah
	 (Damascus Document 7:19-20). Likewise, in the Greek
	 Testament of Levi the "Star" of the new Priest--the
	 Priest Messiah--is said to arise in heaven similar to
	 that of a king (Testament of Levi 18:3).
	     The popular interpretation of Numbers 24:17,
	 preserved in the various Aramaic paraphrases or Targumin,
	 expressly includes the word "king" and even "Messiah"
	 as the title of the person symbolized by the "star".
	 [Vermes pp. 95-96]

This answers the question I had always had as to how the non-Jewish Magi
could have associated this "star" with the "King of the Jews". Here is that
verse from Numbers.

	 Num 24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold
	 him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob,
	 and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite
	 the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

The first clause in Rev. 13:13, "And he doeth great wonders," would make a
good book title if I write the book I hope to write. There are many other
prophecies in Revelation, and these will all be recognized, one by one as
they are fulfilled, in retrospect. When this cosmic display begins, it will
change everything. My math model indicates that this first sign in the sky
may occur in early April, 2016.

I watched that video. He thinks Comet Elenin is a brown dwarf star. That is
ridiculous. It's an ordinary comet. It will come close to Earth, but it is
not threat. Enjoy the view. It should become a naked-eye object.

If you want trustworthy information on this comet, stay with Sky &
Telescope.

Larson has taught me a few things, and I plan to return the favor. I was very impressed with his determination of the exact date of Jesus's birth (December 25, 2 BC) and his death (3 PM April 3, 33 AD). These timings come from astronomical events that I will verify myself when I find the time.

Larson thinks the Star of Bethlehem was the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus on June 17, 2 BC. Others have had the same idea.

http://www.nature1st.net/bogan/astro/occultations/2bcocclt.htm

I have a comet theory for the Star of Bethlehem that I describe below. Larson gives three reasons why he thinks the Star of Bethlehem was not a comet.

The first problem is sociological. At this time in history (and all the way into the middle ages), comets were regarded as omens of doom and destruction, the very opposite of good tidings. This was in part because of comet behavior. They were perceived in ancient times to break into the sky ignoring the highly ordered and repetitive clockwork movement of the heavens. The Almighty could have chosen to use an ominous sign for the birth of Christ. Presumably, He can do whatever He likes. But if the purpose of the Star was to communicate something joyful to man, a comet seems an unlikely choice.

Be that as it may as regarding joyfulness, a comet is the only object that can hover over Bethlehem (using a quasi-geosynchronous orbit, similar to that of a communications satellite, see my explanation below) and extend a bright, thin shaft of light (an anti-tail) down to the ground. Anti-tails are rare, but here is a good picture of one. The thin, pointed shaft of light extending to the left from the coma is the anti-tail. Observers from the Middle East would have seen the comet apparently overhead with its tail hidden behind the coma because it would be pointing away from the Earth.

http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/01/4301-004-0F459752.jpg

A bigger problem is that there do not appear to have been any comets in 3 or 2 BC. Several civilizations maintained records of such phenomena, notably the Chinese. These records have been preserved to the present day, and no comets are recorded for these years.

Comet tails are visible when they point away from the Sun, being blown that way by the solar wind. Comet Holmes suddenly burst into view in October 23, 2007, my Father's birthday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Holmes

Nobody could see its tail because it was pointing away from Earth. Its tail was hidden behind its coma. Here is one picture of the coma seen head-on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:17P-Holmes_Auvergne_2007_11_02.jpg
If this comet did that, nobody, even Chinese astronomers, would have recognized that it was a comet. 

Finally, comets are obvious things. Anyone could and would have seen a comet. Herod would not have needed to ask the Magi when such a thing appeared.

In my theory this comet was deflected as it performed a low-altitude flyby behind the Moon and became captured in a 12-day Earth orbit with an apogee of 1.1 times the Moon's orbit and a perigee of about 7 Earth radii (from the center of the Earth--6 Earth radii above Bethlehem). The comet's angular velocity at its perigee would be about 15 degrees per hour. This rate matches Earth's rotation rate. This is how the comet could appear to be stationary over Bethlehem for an hour or so at each perigee. It would have been quasi-geosynchronous during that time.

The Biblical Star was very likely not a comet.

4.2  Nucleon Absorption is Inefficient but Not Zero

There may be another intriguing consequence of this idea.
The windshield effect only works if space is already flowing.
So, what is happening at the center of an uniformitarian
space-drain planet where the escape velocity is zero?
Somehow the space flow has to get started at the center.

I suggest that nucleons do absorb space, and they do so
omnidirectionally, but they are less efficient than nuclear
windshields because the latter’s capture area is greater.
We will see in Section 5 that the nuclei of all atomic elements
are about the same size, with radii of about 6 ±2 femtometers
(fm). The CODATA radius of a proton is 0.8768 fm [P.J. Mohr,
B.N. Taylor & D.B. Newell, “CODATA recommended values
of the fundamental constants: 2006”, Rev. Mod. Phys. 80,
633-730 (2008)]. We will also see that the capture area of a nucleus
due to the windshield effect is the circular cross-section
area. Now suppose the capture area of a stationary proton is its
spherical surface area,  Then the ratio of capture areas
would be:

                                                           

 

so a nucleus absorbs about 12 times more space via the windshield
effect in one direction than a single nucleon does in all directions.

If FSGT is true, then the gravitational mass of the hydrogen atom
and the hydrogen molecule may be only 1/12 of its inertial mass.

For your information. I doubt it happened this way.

MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and entered orbit about Mercury on March 18, 2011 (UTC), to begin a one-year study of its target planet. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, leads the mission as Principal Investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery-class mission for NASA.
