The previous posting on Gloger’s Rule concluded: 1. The concept has not been well tested. 2. Limited testing has yielded mixed results. The concept, therefore, should be downgraded to become: Gloger’s Rule-of-Thumb Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight results in heavy … Continue reading

The Secret World of Magnets Howard Johnson http://www.freeinfosociety.com/media/pdf/3935.pdf I greatly admire Miles Mathis for his mechanical principles. In all my research and theorizing, I have always insisted on a mechanical explanation. I do not allow dodges into field lines or … Continue reading

Initially, I assumed fact checking Gloger’s Rule would be a simple, straightforward task. That naive assumption was quickly dispelled as the reference materials I consulted plunged me headlong into a quagmire of preference, prejudice, propaganda and political correctness. Separating fact … Continue reading

When it comes to Titan’s fluorescing hydrogen exosphere the mainstream has deployed a range of techniques to deflect, misdirect and omit. Titan has been [as we shall see] a Herculean task of obscuration that the mainstream has sustained for many … Continue reading

Titan provides [probably] the best documented example of a “fluorescing atmosphere” because of its rapidly changing atmospheric albedo [which is especially marked in the blue spectrum]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Titan-Complex_%27Anti-greenhouse%27.jpg Disk-integrated blue (diamonds with dotted line) and yellow (crosses with dashed line) photometry … Continue reading

The concept of a “fluorescing atmosphere” is generally dismissed as cranky [or just plain crazy] by most pundits and commentators. Therefore, I am extremely grateful to Professor Mark A. Smith and Hiroshi Imanaka for publishing a truly remarkable paper on … Continue reading

The Mariner 2 satellite [during its 1962 mission to Venus] orientated itself by tracking the Earth and in the process collected observations of the Earth’s brightness. Photometry is a technique of astronomy concerned with measuring the flux, or intensity of … Continue reading

The fluorescing of the Earth’s upper atmosphere is an unavoidable physical process driven [primarily] by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Photoionisation When a high energy photon [such as Cosmic Rays, X-Rays and Ultraviolet light] from the Sun is absorbed by … Continue reading

The origin of “the other big bang theory” dates back to 1766 when the astronomer Johann Daniel Titius of Wittenberg noted a strange “gap” [or “empty space”] in the pattern of planetary distances. If one began a numerical sequence at … Continue reading

Mainstream science currently has a very perverse predilection for reporting “anomalies” instead of reporting upon the “raw data”. Unfortunately, this preference for “anomalies” has significant disadvantages for Science [and especially the consumers of science] because the “baseline” can be [arbitrarily] … Continue reading

Wikipedia tells us that the sky is blue because air scatters short-wavelength light more than longer wavelengths. The sunlit sky is blue because air scatters short-wavelength light more than longer wavelengths. Since blue light is at the short wavelength end … Continue reading

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy considers the Earth to be “mostly harmless” whilst satellite observations reveal the Earth’s surface to be “mostly water”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water Saline water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface according to Wikipedia. Frozen water, … Continue reading

The composition of the Earth’s lower atmosphere is dominated by Nitrogen and Oxygen. However, in the Earth’s upper atmosphere [above an altitude of 600 kilometres] the dominant gases become Hydrogen and Helium. The exosphere is the outermost layer of Earth’s … Continue reading

Johannes Kepler was the first person to successfully model planetary orbits to a high degree of accuracy and his First Law of Planetary Motion [published in 1609] is deeply embedded in modern celestial mechanics. The orbit of every planet is … Continue reading

One of the stranger mainstream obsessions is that the water found on Earth is of an extraterrestrial origin and this extraterrestrial water was brought to Earth by comets, asteroids and meteors. Water that was brought here by comets and asteroids … Continue reading

The Scientific Method simply requires letting “reality speak for itself”. The chief characteristic which distinguishes a scientific method of inquiry from other methods of acquiring knowledge is that scientists seek to let reality speak for itself, supporting a theory when … Continue reading

Sir Isaac Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation [first published in 1687] has become deeply embedded within mainstream science and is currently accepted as an unquestionable article of scientific faith. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_law_of_universal_gravitation The unquestioning belief in Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation is … Continue reading
