THE WONDERS OF OUR PLANET EARTH

So mix yourself a drink of Lemonade, Tea, Coffee or a Rum and Coke and look over my list of wonderfual things that happen around us. Some of which we cannot explain.

A) The physical Planet Earth Statistics

  1. Rotation is anti-clockwise, around a point that joins the North and South Poles, at 1,036.45 miles per hour (mph) at the Equator. Comparing to the speed of sound which is 768 mph (1 mile every 0.2133 seconds), this means if we were at the Equator we would be spinning at 0.2879 miles every second. (Note that normal Jet Airliners fly at about 600 mph and only some military aircraft “break” the sound barrier)
    1. Why are we not dizzy?
    2. While spinning at 1,036.35 mph, the Earth is also travelling anti-clockwise along its orbit about the sun at 67,000 mph or 18.6111 miles every second. This happens to be just the correct velocity to remain in its orbit around the sun whose gravitation pull is holding it in orbit. This is similar to the way the space station MIR orbits the Earth

B) Is it Coincidence Or……..?

  1. All races are run counterclockwise around a track. Think about it: horses, people, cars, every race is run counterclockwise. This is the same direction that Earth spins. Is it coincidence or do we just feel more comfortable, running this way?
    1. Dr. Parkinson and his philosophy students concluded it is because people especially but also all animals have their left feet slightly shorter than their right and so it is a natural tendency
    2. How would you explain it?
    3. All baseball diamonds also have base runners run anti-clockwise
    4. Septic tanks, sloughs and the like, go through a self-cleansing period once a year. This usually in the spring and involves the partially digested bottoms to rise to the top and go through another cycle.
      1. It is activated by bacteria but how do they know that they need to do this?
      2. Electrical power is created by a dynamo spinning anti-clockwise within a outer core of wiring that receives this spin and creates a magnetic field, that generates an electrical current
      3. All electrical wires have a magnetic field surrounding the wire. If you know the direction of the current, just circle that wire with your right hand with thumb pointing in the direction of current travel, your fingers will form the electromagnetic field. This magnetic field will be spinning anticlockwise
      4. This reference from Secrets in the Fields by Freddy Silva circa 2002 is interesting:

“…..The Universe is an expansion of visible and invisible frequencies of light. When this light energy interacts with gravity the rate of spin of its molecules slows down, the myriad frequencies express themselves as matter, and the form and color of every organism and every object is there-by determined. Light is both particle and wave, and it transfers its energy by means of rapidly alternating electromagnetic field in the form of two waves; one electrical, the other magnetic which lags one step behind. Electromagnetic waves are transverse; that is, their two components move in tandem, perpendicular to the direction of travel. The transverse wave carries information vital to the cells of every organism, particularly the DNA in the human body.

The number of times a wave occurs in one second (the wave length) determines its frequency, which is also called vibration or oscillation; this frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). Consequently, one wave equals one vibration per second or 1 Hz (1000 Hz = 1kHz; I million Hz or 10 to the 6th power Hz = 1 MHz; I billion Hz or 10 the ninth power Hz = 1 GHz.

C) The Moon orbits Earth every 27.2 days

  1. Female menstrual cycle is usually 28 days which equates to the orbit of the moon (27.3 days). Is this a coincidence?
  2. The moon’s  gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans causes the ocean water elevation to rise 12 feet or more (tides)
  3. For the musicians in the crowd this excerpt from Secrets in the Fields by Freddy Silva circa 2002 will be interesting:

“…..Mathematically, twenty-seven is three cubed, just as twenty-seven points is required to geometrically define a hypersphere (a 4-S sphere) in our three dimensional space (ibid.). And speaking of spheres, the period of revolution of the Moon around the Earth is 27.2 days.

In Old Testament gematria, twenty-seven is number of light, just as in Hebrew, it is the number of illumination (Gaunt 1995)….The number twenty-seven is also the difference between the notes F and G. Arithmetically this is split into two parts, the lesser of thirteen units and the greater of fourteen units. The miniscule region between these parts is called the “Pythagorean comma”, and it is marked by the note F-sharp (Levin 1994).

  1. F-sharp is regarded with great respect by ancient Chinese as Hu, the tone of the Earth. Native American flute makers to this day tune their instruments to serenade Mother Earth to this note. It appears to have significant influence among the pyramid builders of ancient Egypt. After he conducted a series of experiments inside the King Chamber of the Great Pyramid, acoustic engineer Tom Danley identified four resonant frequencies, or notes, that are influenced by dimensional and materials used in its construction. The notes form an F-sharp chord which according to ancient Egyptian texts, was the harmonic of our planet. Moreover, Danley’s tests show that these frequencies are present in the King’s Chamber even when no sounds are being produced. So we see yet more connection with our Egyptian ancestors…..”

D) Computers in Nature

  1. The human female egg being fertilized by the male sperm results in a fertilized egg no larger than a pea
    1. In this fertilized egg is all the knowledge from the original male and female all concentrated in this egg.  This can be likened to a mini computer or even an I-Pad which is much larger.

i.      This egg begins now to grow

ii.      It already has the design of the future arms, legs, eyes, nose, heart and all other bodily organs

iii.      It becomes alive to an in built “trigger”, how does this “computer” make this happen and how is it “programmed” to do this?

iv.      Sometime in this process, the unborn baby establishes, by chance, the sex of the baby. What is this “computer” that makes choices that there is a similar amount of each sex, born.  Is this not phenomenal?

v.      With all the intricacies in an operating computer manufactured by mankind, it is almost incredible to imagine what must be the “programming” in that original fertilized egg that had the design of the eye, the heart, the lungs all incorporated and cause to take place at the exact right timing?

  1. Let’s talk about a pigeon, goose or duck and all like fowl
    1. The fertilized egg a gain has all the above (as in the human fertilized egg) and hatches This about these special things

i.      The feathers all have distinct coloring and design. This again was in that “computer”.  Just study closely, given the opportunity, how perfectly fashioned is each feather and how it matches the overall design

ii.      How do these fowl know how to build a nest?

iii.      How do they know when to fly South (for those that do)

  1. How do the orientate themselves?
  2. Some studies indicate that the earth’s magnetic field provides the “homing device” and determines the knowledge when they have reached their destination
  3. Then there are the crop circle, a very controversial phenomenom, that is being disputed to this day. What is common to all the different designs are discovered, is that they are perfectly formed and the stalks of grain are bent at a point above the ground and not crushed or trampled. They are formed within a few minutes.
    1. a.      Some studies indicate that these circles are usually formed in areas where the underlying soils have a specific chemical composition at a time when the magnetic fields simultaneously interact with other forces Secrets in the Fields by Freddy Silva circa 2002
    2. b.      The geometry sources of crop circles are also noted in that reference

E) Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)

“…An aurora (plural: aurorae or auroras; from the Latin word aurora, “sunrise”) is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere. Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. Most aurorae occur in a band known as the auroral zone,[1][2] which is typically 3° to 6° in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic pole defined by the axis of the Earth’s magnetic dipole. During a geomagnetic storm, the auroral zone will expand to lower latitudes. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky which may not be visible to the naked eye even on a dark night and defines the extent of the auroral zone. The discrete aurorae are sharply defined features within the diffuse aurora which vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper at night. Discrete aurorae are usually observed only in the night sky because they are not as bright as the sunlit sky. Aurorae occasionally occur poleward of the auroral zone as diffuse patches[3] or arcs (polar cap arcs[4]), which are generally invisible to the naked eye.

In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Romangoddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.[5] Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. Discrete aurorae often display magnetic field lines or curtain-like structures, and can change within seconds or glow unchanging for hours, most often in fluorescent green. The aurora borealis most often occurs near the equinoctes. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree call this phenomenon the “Dance of the Spirits”. In Europe, in the Middle Ages, the auroras were commonly believed a sign from God.[6]

Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis (or the southern lights), has almost identical features to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the northern auroral zone[7] and is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, South America, New Zealand, and Australia.

Aurorae occur on other planets. Similar to the Earth’s aurora, they are visible close to the planet’s magnetic poles….”

F) Lightning

“….electrical discharge accompanied by thunder commonly occurring during a thunderstorm. The discharge may take place between one part of a cloud and another part (intracloud), between one cloud and another (intercloud), between a cloud and the earth, or earth and cloud. Lightning may appear as a jagged streak (forked lightning), as a vast flash in the sky (sheet lightning), or, rarely, as a brilliant ball (ball lightning). Illumination from lightning flashes occurring near the horizon, often with clear skies and the accompanying thunder too distant to be audible, is referred to as heat lightning. There are numerous theories on why charges accumulate in the atmosphere. It is thought that temperature and water vapor pressure in thunderstorm clouds are associated with the positive and negative ions that cause lightning. Long-lasting lightning flashes with lower current are more damaging to nature and humans than shorter flashes with higher currents…..”

G) Thunder

“….is the sound caused by lightning. Depending on the nature of the lightning and distance of the listener, thunder can range from a sharp, loud crack to a long, low rumble (brontide). The sudden increase in pressure and temperature from lightning produces rapid expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. In turn, this expansion of air creates a sonic shock wave, similar to a sonic boom, which produces the sound of thunder, often referred to as a clap, crack, or peal of thunder. The distance of the lightning can be calculated by the listener based on the time interval from when the lightning is seen to when the sound is heard….”

H)  Sun Spots

“….are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable to the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. Like magnets, they also have two poles. Although they are at temperatures of roughly 3000–4500 K (2727–4227 °C), the contrast with the surrounding material at about 5780 K (5500 °C) leaves them clearly visible as dark spots, as the luminous intensity of a heated black body (closely approximated by the photosphere) is a function of temperature to the fourth power. If the sunspot were isolated from the surrounding photosphere it would be brighter than an electric arc. Sunspots expand and contract as they move across the surface of the Sun and can be as large as 80,000 kilometers (50,000 mi) in diameter, making the larger ones visible from Earth without the aid of a telescope.[1] They may also travel at relative speeds (“proper motions”) of a few hundred m/s when they first emerge onto the solar photosphere.

Manifesting intense magnetic activity, sunspots host secondary phenomena such as coronal loops (prominences) and reconnection events. Most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in magnetically active regions around visible sunspot groupings. Similar phenomena indirectly observed on stars are commonly called starspots and both light and dark spots have been measured….”[2]

I) Radio Waves

“…are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Radio waves have frequencies from 300 GHz to as low as 3 kHz, and corresponding wavelengths from 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers. Like all other electromagnetic waves, they travel at the speed of light. Naturally occurring radio waves are made by lightning, or by astronomical objects. Artificially generated radio waves are used for fixed and mobile radio communication, broadcasting, radar and other navigation systems, satellite communication, computer networks and innumerable other applications. Different frequencies of radio waves have different propagation characteristics in the Earth’s atmosphere; long waves may cover a part of the Earth very consistently, shorter waves can reflect off the ionosphere and travel around the world, and much shorter wavelengths bend or reflect very little and travel on a line of sight…..”
