How to operate a Ouija board and contact the dead.

That all seems rather complicated compared to a ziploc bag with some ice in it, or even an old fashioned (Hot) water bottle filled with ice water to cool whatever part of your body you want to associate it with.

Ant, thanks for your comment. What makes this particular observation of Japanese earthquakes important to this thread is my model predicted its occurrence. That this particular tectonic plate would begin its intense seismic activity at that particular time. I have posted at different times the description below in one form or another. arc Posted 31 July 2013 - 09:57 PM http://science.nasa...._magneticfield/ Earth's present-day magnetic field is, in fact, much stronger than normal. The dipole moment, a measure of the intensity of the magnetic field, is now 8 × 1022 amps × m2. That's twice the million-year average of 4× 1022 amps × m2. "My hypothesis simply requires that the molten iron of the Earth's magnetic field generator will vary over million year time periods, and that is verified in the above. An increase in amperage will always include an increase in temperature. The temperature increase will in turn always produce thermal expansion of the molten iron. This will displace the mantle and release strain energy in the form of heat during its outward expansion. The slow increase in the mantles circumference will require the crust to separate and adjust to release the continual tension." "How does this match observations? The Pacific divergent plate boundary expands more than the Atlantic's does. But why? Shouldn't they expand the same if the crust is being pushed out by the mantle. The answer is seen in a simple thought experiment that I use to illustrate the solution. Imagine the Earth with one single belt of sea floor around the equator with one end considered attached, immovable. The other end a short distance away unconnected." "Now we can apply the thermal increase that displaces the mantle and extends the crust. We can now see the gap between the plate ends open a given degree. Now we all know that if the belt was divided in half and then in quarters it would with each reduction in length show a proportional reduction in movement. This means that a wider ocean plate like the Pacific would show more movement than a narrower one. And the Pacific plate having the widest expanse of plate material shows an unusually large amount of movement resulting in more infill. While the Atlantic being narrower shows a proportionally smaller amount of movement. This is an accurate prediction using this model." And this is what is seen in the graph below. The Pacific Plate's proportional advantage over the Atlantic's, as seen in the example above, allows it to be not only a more sensitive detector of mantle displacement, but to actually magnify the amount of movement possible. This is in contrast to most other convergent boundaries around the world that lack the large expanse and convergent boundary like that of the Pacific. Their smaller expanses produce proportionally smaller amplification. So while the other plates are also moved by the outward displacing mantle, the Pacific will produce the highest amount of energy at its convergent boundaries, allowing not only many more seismic events to be felt, but even more so for them to be of a destructive level. This evidence shown above allows this model to tie a specific time period to a specific high level of solar magnetic energy to a specific period of increased seismic activity to a specific period of climate warming. All having been a result of the models clear and predicted mechanism of mantle displacement by solar magnetic energy heating the outer cores molten iron. This mechanism is seen in the evidence of a short time frame response between all of the observed phenomena mentioned. They all appear to start and then to proceed almost simultaneously. I have put my work on a secure content sharing site. You can view the Japanese Earthquake data here; http://www.4shared.com/web/preview/doc/ApcvWEgMba And you can view 11,400 years of solar magnetic forcing of climate here; http://www.4shared.com/web/preview/doc/qXJVR08ece I do my own research and read whatever peer reviewed material I can find online to write my own content, I also extensively use USGS, NASA and NOAA materials to support it. And I have avoided third party resources and sites to avoid biased materials.

I don't know, having a lightning bolt shoot out your ass might be helpful now and then.

Well, while I wait for him to answer I'll take this opportunity to post something I've been sitting on for several months now. This model I have made isn't just about plate tectonics; it is really about solar magnetic induction forcing of planetary thermal and geodynamics. The tectonic plate movement of the Earth is just a byproduct of these phenomena. I have been using a graph furnished by the USGS to explain the many different ideas on this subject. http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-0095-00/fs-0095-00.pdf This is a graph of solar magnetic strength going back 1,100 years. It is derived by measuring the carbon 14 content in tree rings. I have used it in the past to correlate specific solar magnetic levels to climate periods such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. I have now used it to correlate the outward displacement of the mantle by solar magnetic derived induction of the Earth's outer core. The evidence for this is seen in the modified graph below. The extremely small outward thermal expansion derived displacement of the core/mantle should occur within a narrow time frame response that aligns to the specific solar magnetic flux increase. This movement should be detected as seismic events at the margins of the largest plate. Click on image to view larger To do this I overlayed the chronologic records of Japanese earthquake records from; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Japan As you can see the earthquake activity intensifies when the solar magnetic flux begins to increase in intensity at around 1850. The solar magnetic data runs out at 1950 due to the delay in measuring solar flux by 14C content in tree rings even though the graph was created 50 years later in 2000. As you can also see the earthquakes continue past the last 14C proxy data point on the graph and continue to the present. This additional measure of solar magnetic intensity that is driving these most recent quakes (approximately 30 since 1950) can be found at this link.; http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/paleo/pubs/solanki2004/solanki2004.html Unusual activity of the Sun during recent decades compared to the previous 11,000 years Nature, Vol. 431, No. 7012, pp. 1084 - 1087, 28 October 2004. "Here we report a reconstruction of the sunspot number covering the past 11,400 years, based on dendrochronologically dated radiocarbon concentrations." "According to our reconstruction, the level of solar activity during the past 70 years is exceptional, and the previous period of equally high activity occurred more than 8,000 years ago. We find that during the past 11,400 years the Sun spent only of the order of 10% of the time at a similarly high level of magnetic activity and almost all of the earlier high-activity periods were shorter than the present episode." This has been a very short period of unusually high solar magnetic energy and it correlates very precisely to these continuous seismic releases of energy. This is only solar magnetic energy that is referenced to in the article and graph, the solar thermal aspect has remained relatively unchanged and is not a factor in this model.

Yeah, but how many geologist are going to stick around when they see their title is going to be "DIRT".

Interesting, what are those black spots on its back?

Hey Mike, I went to your link but I didn't see anything that specifically related to my plate tectonic thread. Was there something specific I was supposed to find.

I do also and would think most would. I wonder, and am willing to propose the fear of confinement "claustrophobia" drives up the anxiety and accidents in the first three. #4 is not the same claustrophobic confinement but rather a distrust of large seemingly under supported structures, or more accurately to the one having the anxiety, an unpredictable structure in their eyes. It is similar to to the anxiety of crossing over bridges. Not all people are afraid of the height but rather the structure itself. I've seen people really freak out in small boats when passing under a very high and expansive interstate structure. I think #4 illicites anxiety of that expansive overhead of material while #6 finds the balance that most people can tolerate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia "The dangers to journalists in Russia have been well known since the early 1990s but concern at the number of unsolved killings soared after Anna Politkovskaya's murder in Moscow on 7 October 2006. While international monitors spoke of several dozen deaths, some sources within Russia talked of over two hundred fatalities." "Those deliberately targeted for their work have tended to be reporters, correspondents and editors. In Russia many directors of new regional TV and radio stations have been murdered but most of these deaths are thought to relate to conflicting business interests." "During a study of international fraud-detection homicide which compared fraud detection homicide cases from the United States of America against fraud detection homicide cases from the former Soviet Republic the murder of Paula Klebenikov illustrated a case of a contract killing of a journalist known to expose fraud in governments. At the time of his murder, he was thought to be investigating complex money laundering fraud scheme involving Chechen reconstruction projects. The investigation appears to reveal that Klebnikov had discovered that the fraud reached deep into the centers of power in the Kremlin, elements involving organized crime, and also the former KGB, which is now known as the FSB." "The CPJ lists Russia as "the third deadliest country in the world for journalists" since 1991, exceeded in the number of deaths only by Algeria (1993–1996) and post-invasion Iraq. It is more revealing, perhaps, to set Russia alongside its G20 partners — not just the USA and France, but also Saudi Arabia and China (see Table 1, in IFJ report). Russia's problem, shared by certain other members of G20 (India, Brazil and Mexico), is not simply one of the number of deaths but that the killing with impunity has persisted over time." Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe. Thomas Jefferson Fear of being murdered for uncovering the truth tends to restrict the process of good journalism. A culture of corruption that suppresses journalist can only exist with the cooperation of corrupt police, prosecutors, judges and government officials.

Does it not win by default? Water's superiority lies not in its strength as a solvent as much as it does in the others inferiority. It is water's ability to transform through temperature that turns it into the destructive mechanism of rock that it is. Freezing in the microscopic cracks of the hardest granites begins the processes that reduces vast mountain ranges in due time to sand and silt. Continuous seasonal exposure to alternating rain, ice, snow and glaciation will "dissolve" the hardest materials. Its rather interesting that the hardest longest lasting components of rock will spend their final days before being washed out to sea as a grinding compound suspended in water cutting channels through other locations of solid rock.

And who are the lucky ones that get to have your daily byproducts rain down on them, you know, the liquids and solid wastes that would normally be piped to a wastewater treatment facility. http://www.eolss.net/eolsssamplechapters/c06/e6-13-04-05/E6-13-04-05-TXT-05.aspx "On average the overall wastewater generation rate is approximately 265 liters per capita and per day in the U.S."

Buy on of these and use it as is or try using the lasers alone or with the defractor. It definitely would be fun to play around with.* *In a scientific manner of course.

But alas, ball lightning is now a reasonably proven but not well understood natural phenomena. And I will for now put my money on science determining that these UFO events are just as explainable using similar means. It appears to be a rather natural series of events, preliminary observations by individuals lead to varying interpretations of somewhat highly speculative and with that biased opinions as to the cause. But eventually as more accurate scientific information is made available the speculative pseudo scientific reasoning is pushed aside. And to tie this all up rather nicely here is an article dated before the recent scientific confirmation that ball lightning is real. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-11877842 30 November 2010 Ball lightning 'may explain UFOs' By Jonathan AmosScience correspondent, BBC News "The scientist has made a detailed study of an unusual event in 2006 when large meteors were observed over Brisbane. Their appearance occurred at the same time as a brilliant green object was seen to roll over nearby mountains. Dr Hughes has put forward a theory linking the object - presumed to be ball lighting - to the fireballs. His idea is that one of the fireballs may have momentarily triggered an electrical connection between the upper atmosphere and the ground, providing energy for the ball lightning to appear above the hills." "If you put together inexplicable atmospheric phenomena, maybe of an electrical nature, with human psychology and the desire to see something - that could explain a lot of these UFO sightings" What will be the explanation 100 years from now? I think it will be simply that nature is playing tricks on us. Both inside and outside of our minds.

So, to NBC we go! http://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/why-do-zebras-have-stripes-mystery-solved-scientists-say-n68836 "Researchers have looked for novel ways to settle the question ever since Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace started the argument in the 1870s." "All four of the hypotheses listed here, a through d, have been proposed. But a couple of years ago, the bug-repellent idea got a boost when researchers built horse mannequins, painted them in a variety of patterns, coated them with sticky stuff, and found that horseflies seemed to avoid landing on the fake horses that were painted with black and white stripes." "The proposed explanation was that the flies preferred to land on dark surfaces. Such surfaces reflect the kind of polarized light that reminds the flies of the water or mud where they breed. Light surfaces aren't as attractive, but dark-and-light patterns are even worse — perhaps because such patterns confuse the flies' navigational sense."

You cannot truly know the difference until you are asked - "does this make my butt look big."

I don't think that got started until they began receiving episodes of Star Trek - "To boldly go where no man has gone before" Dammit Jim! I'm a doctor not a miracle worker!! Typo repair

Moon, you forgot about the sign in the front yard.

I don't know about Norway, but if it was observed on an American campus that a group had been out several nights (three) looking for UFO's, I'm sure someone in the Electrical/Mechanical engineering depts would feel obligated to assist them in their quest on the fourth night.

I'm still not satisfied with Acme's more cultural explanation. This would have to be "locked in" very early in human history and distributed in each branching-off segment of migration while staying strongly within each continually evolving tribal group to finally end up in so many ancient civilizations. And all that seems a long ways away from some guy in Kansas that see's a green alien on a deserted road at 3 am.

Although the phrase "You really cannot overestimate his influence" may not be accurate enough for science, It is none the less accurate in describing Heinrich Harder. In a era before radio and television, where newspapers and magazines distributed almost all current news, he gave the world, both inside and outside of science, the first true to life (as could be known) glimpse as to what all those bones in the museums really looked liked in their natural environments. http://www.copyrightexpired.com/Heinrich_Harder/ "Around 1906 Harder did a series of illustrations for the Naturalist Wilhelm Bolsche, who wrote a short history of the planet earth. The articles appeared in the weekly family magazine Die Gartenlaube. When the Berlin Zoo added an Aquarium in 1913, Harder was commissioned to paint murals of extinct creatures around the perimeter walls." "He also created relief sculptures of some of the animals as well. The main entrance to the new Aquarium was adorned with a life sized Iquanodon sculpture by Harder." " The Reichardt Cocoa company had been issuing a series of collector cards of prehistoric animals and Harder was recruited to illustrate two series of them, for a total of 60 illustrations. Wilhelm Bolsche wrote the description of the creatures for the back of the card. Harder also illustrated a book by Bolsche, Tierwanderungen in der Urwelt in 1915. Harder went on to become an art professor at the Berlin University." His paintings, actually his vision of what these bygone worlds resembled influenced prehistoric depictions of these creatures and environs for generations. His hand is seen in sci/fi books and cinematic versions of J.Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, Mysterious Island and even King Kong. You can also see his influence in the art of early 20th century adventure stories and comic books. His influence on this plebeian media may not seem important, but Heinrich Harder introduce almost covertly through his art the workings of evolution to the public that hungered for science content at a most critical time in the early development of that theory. He taught through his art an entire generation the practical results of evolutionary theory.

I second that. After you get rich on everyone here and then the rest of academia you will finely clean up in the household linen section with bed sheets and pillow cases all the way down to crib sets. It is a beautiful job at blending art and science, say . . . . wait a minute . . . . there's a thread about that here somewhere. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/82416-art-in-science/

Your experience really fits this phenomena well. I'm really grateful to you for sharing this. When I was a kid I experienced night terrors from age 4 or 5 to maybe 10 or 11. They were enough to get me out of bed screaming and running from one to several ambiguous figures, other times it was just a rather fuzzy light source. One time I jumped down a complete flight of stairs because my tormentors were hot on my tail, I knocked my mother backwards as she caught me at the bottom stair. She and I landed on my dad who was standing behind her. These episodes were quite realistic and involve highly detailed hallucinations. This is why I tend to default to these explanations, I know their power over ones faculties.

Finely, where have you been? OK, that's to vague, why mostly green and black eyes. Why not red or? How does this stay rather uniform over thousands of episodes. And if tied to those ancient mythical reptilian humanoids, what dove the continuity through the ages.
