Cosmic Allignment

The cosmic alignment is going to happen on December 21 2012. There has been speculation that because of a finding in 2005 we would be killed do to the alignment.

The finding was at New York University. They fond the ‘Highest Energy Photons Ever Detected From Milky Way’s Equator.’ They continue to say that the amount of energy is 3.5 trillion electron volts (eV) in the form of gamma radiation.

If you’re the type of person that likes to worry then you can make the connection that it only takes about 10 eV of gamma radiation to start messing up DNA.

However this again is a case where a scientist says something meant for science and people don’t really know what he said.

The source of the radiation is 3.5 trillion eV. The amount that affects us is based on the inverse squared law. The equation is:

Where I is the intense, P is the power at the source, and r is the distance from the source. We are about 26000 light years form the center of the galaxy. That’s about 2.46x10^23 meters. So when you do the math you get I=4.6x10^-33. This amount cannot event get through the magneto sphere of the earth. And if it did it would not penetrate your skin. Also cosmic alignment has no effect on this. We are about the same distance before the alignment and after.

Polar Shift

I have heard roomers that you poles are supposed to switch and during the time of the switch out earth would be unprotected from the brutal bombardment of cosmetic radiation.

First we should understand why the earth has a magnetic core. If you look at the different layers of the earth you see a flowing mantel made up of molten metal (iron) and a soled core (also iron). The flowing mantle flows around the core creating a magnetic field.
This is how all electrical generators work except to take advantaged of the electricity created where the earth creates a magnetic field. (This follows the right hand rule if you’re wondering)

The reason the mantle is flowing around the core is because the earth is rotating. so to stop this action the earth has to stop rotating. the only know way to stop something from rotating is the physically come in to contact with it and apply an opposite force. We would have to get hit with a huge meteor or comet and if that happened we would all be dead anyway and the polar shift would be the least of our concern.

Nibiru (edited 9-15-08)

There are many sides to this story. I'm going to show two proofs that should discredit the idea that Nibiru is a plant orbiting the sun, being a brown dwarf or Nibiru being a planet orbiting a brown dwarf orbiting our sun. this seems like a lot but these 2 proof coincide with the 3 different scenarios.

Nibiru is a planet or brown dwarf that orbits the sun at a highly elliptical orbit. The planet/star it self is between the mass of Jupiter and half the mass of the sun. When the planet/star reaches its closet point to the sun it will have crossed earths orbit or have come close enough for the gravity to affect us in a significant way. It is said to have a orbital period of about 3600 years.

a brown dwarf is basically a very large Jupiter. Its a star that didn't make it to the critical mass to start the fusion reaction required for a star to shine.

1) Probably the most convincing evidence ageist all of these Nibiru stories is the placing. Where should the planet be? If you don’t know much about astronomy or haven’t studied it enough to just kinda have the idea in you head with just a few numbers then you have know idea where it should be. Well I found a really good site that walks through the numbers and derives the formulas well. So instead of doing it my self (and needing to look up all kinds of stuff and taking hours) I'm gunna refer you to Dan Sewell Ward’s webpage. it tells you how long it will take Nibiru to get to its closest point to the sun based on a chosen starting area. You can scroll to the bottom if you don’t care about the math.

Basically if Nibiru is supposed to hit us in 2012 it should be at about the distance of Saturn or Jupiter. And if that was true then you could see it in your back yard with a decent telescope (given you live in the right part of the world to see it at all) or if it was a brown dwarf you would even see it in the day because a brown dwarf gives off light. Even if it is coming and it still outside the reach of our view then once it get to about Pluto we have 60yrs.

here i should probably point out some of the pic's on youtube. if you search long enough you will fin pic's about 'star like' balls of light mostly in the morning and evenings. these balls of light are the suns reflection on clouds not some distant planet or star. if it was that clear in the morning (at sun rise or set) then it would be the brightest star before or after sunset/rise just like the plants are when we can see them.

2) Nibiru would disobey how we believe our solar system was made. It is true that out solar system is special because most of the planets we find out side of the solar system have Jupiter plus sized planets in highly elliptical orbits around the star. These orbits would throw smaller earth like planets out of that system. Or if the earth like planet was a moon to the Jupiter type planet that the tempter swings would be too grate for life as we know it.

Anyway back to the point our solar system is nearly circular because if it wasn’t we wouldn’t be here to talk about it. All of the other planets formed in near circular orbits so it stand to reason any non-discovered celestial body would also be circular because it would have under gone the same process at the same time as all of the planets.

It also doesn’t make sense that there would be a planet/star outside the range of the Oort cloud sense the Oort cloud is supposed to be the left over stardust from the formation of our star. (though I'm not 100% sure about this statement.)

How ever if it is possible that this planet/star was formed in this odd orbit then we shouldn’t be here. The planet takes about 3600 years to orbit the sun. The earth has bin around for about 4 billion years. That means the orbital paths would have crossed more then 1 million times so far. So if Nibiru is even close to the mass of Jupiter we should have already bin flung out into the cold universe.

You may have noticed that I didn't mention the pic's that show 'proof' of the existence of this star/planet. This is because I have no idea if the pic's were real where they came from or what they show. even if they came form a real telescope it is possible that it was a dust cloud so some kind. And the fact that there's no proof of where they came from makes me take the pic's lightly. Also my other proofs asks the pic's provider to prove how I could be wrong before I should go out of my way to prove him wrong. That sounds like a cop-out but if it is within the orbit of Saturn why is it only seen on and inferred telescope as a very small object in the distance? If I get a descent sounding response to that I will do the recherche to disprove the pic's. But as of now its a wast of time.

one more note: anybody that asks you for money to tell you how to survive an appending apolitical is a scam. on youtube there is a very convincing organization telling you the Nibiru is going to end life as we know it. if you go to there web site they give you propaganda and half truths. and then if you want to learn more you have to buy something. they also sell survival guides. The name on youtube is yowbooks and the website is www.yowusa.com THIS IS A SCAM! I'm not sure if they do anything else but the Nibiru stuff is based on nothing convincing.

Professor Otto Rössler and the LHC

This is not met to ‘bash’ Professor Otto Rössler in any way. He is a very smart man and he defently as more schooling then me (his has Ph.D. after all).

Professor Otto Rössler got his degree in biochemistry as well as getting a M.D. he has done research in this field for up ward of 20 years. And recently (with in the past 10 years) he has started to broaden his horizon of the sciences. Which is great. Most importantly he has started to look in the relativity and aspects of theoretical physics. From my knowledge he has not studded quantum mechanics in any professionally manner.

Professor Otto Rössler is the leading, and basically only, scientist saying that the LHC black holes will destroy the earth. But to be perfectly honest its much like a new grad student telling his professor that the research that the professor has done for the last 30 years is wrong. And he can’t prove it because his mathematical skill are not yet high enough.

Professor Otto Rössler believes that the Hawking’s Theory of Decay is wrong with no proof. He just says that a black hole can’t emit energy because a black hole is an actually hole in space-time. But if you read the theory you see that Hawking’s describes a situation more like a ball rolling around on a sheet. As the ball rolls it loses energy, in the form of heat, do to friction between the ball and the sheet. In the case of the black hole the energy has to come from the black it self and if the black hole losses energy then it must lose mass because of Einstein’s famous equation E=MC^2. On top of this there is observational proof that black holes give off heat.

This was the most damning argument that Professor Otto Rössler gave about the black holes. From what I could tell he did not mention the size or the gravitational attractiveness. How ever he presents the situation where the black hole would be made after the collation so the idea of it being flung out into the universe would be out.

Black Holes

This is a reference to what a black hole is.

The definition of a black hole is an object that is so dense that the velocity needed to escape from the object is grater then the speed of light.

Lets start with this ‘escape velocity’ thing. In order to leave the orbit of an object you must reach a specific velocity. The equation is:

Where G is the gravitation constant, M is the mass of the object, and r is the radius of the object. All of the variables are based on the object you are trying to escape.

The equation is easiest to derived from the conservation of energy law:

K(i) is the initial kinetic energy of the escaping object, U(gi) is the initial potential energy induced by gravity on the excepting object. And K(f) and U(gf) and the final. In step 2 I plug in the variables. They are the same as above except m is the mass of the escaping object. Now in step 3 I say that the final distance is infinite (because if you escape the gravity you will forever float away form the object) and that the final velocity is 0 (because if we have more velocity after we are an infinite distance form the object then we will have been going to fast.). Because of this the entire right side of the equation becomes 0. So then steps 3-7 are all high school algebra.

So earth has an escape velocity of 11.2 km/s (M=5.9736×10^24 kg, G=9.8m/s^2, r≈6,372km)

Now lest make a black hole. If the escape velocity must be grater then the speed of light then we have a starting point v(e)=c. so now we can work our equation backwards:

M/r in this case is a fancy way of saying density of the object because the radius is the only variable in the volume of a sphere (4/3πr^3). This ‘magic’ density is 6.736x10^26kg/m^3. That’s shrinking the earth to a radius of 8.8mm... so like a peanut.

So u can see that a black hole is only dependent of the density of an object. This is why black holes are the densest things in the universe. But also notice that the mass can be anything.

Let’s say we have a sun exactly like ours in the same type of solar system. For some reason the sun becomes a black hole without any of the high energy processes happing that would disturb the orbit of the planets. In this impossible situation the planets would continue to orbit the black hole as if noting has happened. This is because the black hole still have the same mass as the sun its just in a smaller space now.

Also size does not matter. If you take the mass of an atom and crush it down to the correct density you still have a black hole. It is immensely smaller the any atom and have the same gravitational attraction of the original atom but it is still a black hole.

The size of the black hole is measured by the radius of the event horizon. The event horizon is just the point at which the escape velocity is the speed of light.

It should also be noted that black holes decay over time. This is due to very advance mathematics that I can’t prove with out coping someone’s work (Steven Hawkings) and would probably confuse most people reading this (including my self). But an extremely simple rate is 2.28x10^5kg=a one second long black hole. So anything that weighs less will evaporate faster.

The LHC

The LHC stands for Large Hadron Collider. There has been speculation that this collider will be so powerful that it will create black holes and that these black holes will consume the earth and we will all die.


The plp who are worried that this will end the world don’t understand the physics of what will happen.
Yes it is possible for an atom to gain enough mass through velocity so that the radius of the event horizon grows beyond the surface of the proton and create a Black hole.

And yes maybe...maybe...the proton will then collapse so that it will remain a black hole even at rest. But this is not of concern because if this worse case happens there will be at least 3 thing keeping us from dieing.

1) The event horizon will be smaller then the size of a proton making it basely harmless to any thing that exist. There is so much space between atoms that it would be a statical anomaly for anything to come in to contact with it. And sense it has the same mass as a proton it will have the same gravitational attraction. Almost all atoms will pass it by unaffected

2) its traveling near the speed of light. if something goes wrong and we make a black hole and it escapes the collider then we will have fired a microscopic black hole away from the earth at near the speed of light, in 10 mins it will be further then the sun, and by the end of the day it will have left the sole system. Thus earth will be saved from the harmless black hole.

3) Small black holes are short lived according to the Hawkings theory of decay. A black hole with the mass of a large building would only last 1 second. So were talking like 1/1000000000th the mass of that.

Blog Goal

This blog is to try to convince the people of the world that were not gunna die buy some crazy sounding idea. I found that, in general, the more certain the person is that the world is gunna end the less likely it will happen.

That’s kinda an unfair statement but whatever.

I'm gunna be posting about things I have hear of first. I will try to tell the side of my appoint in an unbiased fashion but seeing as I will almost always be arguing ageist them it seems unlikely that I will get it right every time. To help correct this I invite any of you to send me a message to correct anything that I said, to ask for clarification, or suggest a topic.

I ask that you don't post comments about things that don't directly pertain too what was said. that is only comment if i missed something, there seems to be a hole in my logic, or if i got something wrong about my appoints argument. if you want clarification or you have a "what about..." question (you'll know if you have one of those) send me a message so i can address it properly.

People say I'm really good at physics buy I always say 'you should see me wright, it lest you know there's balance to the world.' so ya, my writing skills are not the best... probably the worse you will ever see. I use spell check and stuff but things get buy...alot. so if you see something that looks really out of place tell me and I'll fix it. (for this post I put 'would' instead of 'world' the first time)
