Re: The Mysterious Voynich Manuscript (2010 Jan 31)

Two of the most little known facts: The ancient Hebrews settled in China at a very early date and made contributions to Chinese science of astronomy. Their main contribution was the fact that the origin of the Zodiac was that God's plan for the ages was spelled out across the sky in the constellatio...

Aurora on Saturn not new !!!

There is a Amateur Jupiter/Saturn group claiming for many years to sometimes see Saturn off color, sometimes blue tinted. "real astronomers" ridiculed them. The recent Aurora picture of Saturn has verified that this "blue Saturn" phenomenon DOES have a basis in fact :) Score one ...

Light Echoes from V838 Mon

looks all the world like what we on Cape Cod called a "queen fish" the mouth was as wide as the body which was shaped like two pie plates together...... In the picture you can even see the eye on the (our) right side... really spooky ...... The fish I saw on the beach when i was a youngste...

APOD: Water Claimed in Evaporating Planet HD 209458b (17 Apr 2007)

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070417.html How long can the water and atmosphere have been "rapidly evaporating" from this planet? Even though it could have an excentric orbit, just a few passes would completely boil it away.... Their theory does not make sence... Certainly it could not have...

water on mars/ colinization

i am old enough to remember that science has repeatedly stated that due to mars low gravity all water on mars had to have evaporated and dissappeared into space with the loss of the atmosphere half a billion years ago..... unless water can be found on mars it is impossible with todays tech to go the...

stellar evolution

The ancients said that the star Sirius was a red star and it is now blue-white.... this is stellar evolution...... a little observation shows that supernovas cannot create stars..... the shock wave would disperse stardust,, not condense it into stars..... and Boyles law shows that stars cannot self-...

as i am saying in my thread " Re: Not with a Big Bang but with a Woosh :) ,,, all galexies may have been created by their own white hole, and later may disappear into a black hole........ white holes funnel energy, matter and spacetime from another universe dimention or from "X" :) to...

Re: Not with a Big Bang but with a Woosh :)

the assumed exhistance of white holes would remove the need for dark matter.... with every galexy created by a white hole no big bang is needed ... white holes constantly createing spacetime can move along galexies instead of only by gravity attraction--reaction....... I must point out that as far a...

Not with a Big Bang but with a Woosh :)

There are at least two problems with the big bang theory..... first when you have an explosion as observed in a supernova, all the ejected material exhists as an ever expanding egg shell surrounding the explosion point...... we do not see this in our universe....... seccondly, the galexies seem to b...

not with a big bang but with a woosh :)

I am not important enough to publish anything :) but this makes a lot more sence to me than big bangism.....

the simplest obvious theories are sometimes the most accurate........
big bangism does not seem to be supported by the observable universe...

this is not a pitch but an observation.....

Not with a Big Bang but with a Woosh :)

The Vortex in the Creation of Galaxies When you were a little child playing in the bathtub with your toy boats and the Drain plug was pulled, the boats would be pulled towards the vortex. Current theory establishes parallel realities or universes. It is quite conceivable that in the process of creat...

why cant our telescopes use the near earth objects to obstruct the light from a star so we can see its planets :?: Thanks, Lewis
