A new crop
picture which appeared on August 18 at Etchilhampton Hill seems to show (i)
the four-fold pointed-symmetry
of a gravitational wave field, as well
as (ii) certain grid lines which are commonly used to represent gravity
or curved space time:
Four-fold pointed-symmetry of a
gravitational wave field from Rep. Prog. Physics 63, 1317-1427,
2000.
Schematic grid lines used to represent
curved spacetime from Amer. J. Physics 73, 248-260, 2005.
The new Etchilhampton Hill crop
picture thus has a concise, logical meaning:
"Space-time may vibrate in two different
directions, either 'up-down' or 'left-right', in response to the field
energy of a passing gravitational wave".
But why should the crop artists draw
that particular picture at the end of 2006, after five other amazing
"wormhole" pictures which illustrated possible technological uses of
curved space-time? There could be two reasons.
First, gravitational
wave detectors are being built now
all around the world; some are even planned for space.
Those new and highly-sensitive devices may
be used to detect gravity waves from distant astronomical
sources, which could potentially
cause severe geological disturbances in
the future, if any of them were to pass through our Solar System at light
speed c.
For
example, we learn from a website at Caltech: "Gravitational waves
are ripples in the fabric of space-time. When they enter our LIGO
detector, they will decrease the distance between test masses on one arm,
while increasing it on the other arm.
Such changes can be detected by bouncing laser beams back and forth
between the test masses, then by
interfering laser beams from the two arms."
"LIGO" stands for "Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-wave Observatory" (www.ligo.caltech.edu/LIGO_web/about/factsheet.html).
The same
four-fold pointed-symmetry shown
at Etchilhampton Hill appears over an illustration of their detector:
Secondly, it would not seem impossible
that gravitational waves are now in transit toward Earth. Many previous
crop pictures suggest this. Furthermore, see (below) speculations by Paul
LaViolette, a non-mainstream astronomer, about the Boxing Day 2004
earthquake and its causes; as well as observations by Lonnie Thompson,
the American glaciologist, concerning the last major
sudden-climate-change on Earth in 3100 BC (end of the Mayan "Fourth
Sun").
Now when a powerful
gravity wave with pointed
four-fold symmetry passes through Earth,
it may produce two different kinds
of geological vibration as
either "up-down"
or "left-right",
just as were shown
schematically at Etchilhampton Hill:
If the whole planet Earth
vibrates suddenly like that, there are going to be plenty of earthquakes,
tsunamis and volcanoes! Due to the
relatively large size of most gravity waves, nearby stars could be
affected as well. Recall from the Christian and Jewish scriptures various
passages where "the Earth will reel like a drunkard" or "the seas will
roar" and "powers (stars) in the heaven will be shaken". The Koran of
Muslim faith describes a similar event.
.
How might gravity waves be produced in
far distant parts of our galaxy?
Gravity waves may be
produced through several different mechanisms, the most common of which might
be 'collapsing neutron stars' or 'binary black holes'.
Paul
LaViolette has argued that a gravity wave from a collapsing neutron star
caused the Boxing Day 2004 earthquake (www.etheric.com/GalacticCenter/GRB.html).
It was followed by an x-ray blast on the
next day, consistent with Einstein-Rosen
theory.
By
contrast, long-term-periodic emission of
gravity waves might be better
ascribed to binary black holes, one of which could perhaps be
present at the centre of our Milky Way:
For example, if the two
components of some binary system at
the centre of our Milky Way were to
orbit once every 5125 Earth
years, then they might strongly
emit gravity waves only once
during some brief part of that
mutual orbit, when they
come close
together. If that is the
case, then a twin pulse of
gravity waves and x-rays
could potentially be emitted from the centre of our galaxy
once every 5125 years. It
would then take another 40,000
years (roughly) to reach Earth
and Sun at light speed c.
Could such a binary system of black
holes, and long-term-periodic emission of gravity waves, provide a
plausible mechanism for 5100-year periodicities in the ancient Mayan
calendar?
The accuracy of the
Mayan calendar was recently validated by American
glaciologist Lonnie Thompson, who found many
different lines of evidence for a sudden, worldwide climate change
on Earth 5138 plus or minus 45 years ago
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA 103,
10536-10543, 2006). He has attributed that event to "a sudden change
in the brightness of our Sun". His dates from radio-isotope analysis agree
well with the Mayan calendar
value of 5120 years ago for "end of the
Fourth Sun". According to that same calendar, the next major event
will occur six years from now in 2012.
Could that be what the current
crop-circle phenomenon is all about? The crop artists have been
warning us about wave-like emissions from the galactic centre since at
least 1994: see for example a
lucid crop picture from that year, which shows a Mayan symbol for
the galactic centre on the left, with curly rays or
waves emerging on all sides:
In modern
terms, the Mayan symbol for "galactic centre" might represent the
curved in-fall of stars near some
black hole, for example Sgr A*.
Another pair
of crop pictures at
Etchilhampton in 1997 warned that
our Sun would "flare" in 2012, perhaps due to gravity waves passing
through it.
In 2005, the "mace" showed an
explosion from some
central source (galactic?) in
six spatial directions +x,
-x, +y, -y, +z, -z, where various star systems affected were seemingly
drawn all around:
Isabelle Kingston noted, from supposed
psychic contact, that crop pictures are being given now "at a cataclysmic
time in Earth's history" (see Freddy Silva's book).
Both Wayland's Smithy pictures of
August 2005 and July 2006 could plausibly be interpreted in terms
of astronomical rays, which will
impact Earth and Sun in mid-August 2007. An alternative explanation for
Wayland's Smithy of July 2005 in terms of "skyscrapers" cannot explain
why it shows numerous
mathematical codes. See also
HERE.
Finally, regarding to the supposed
future predictive ability
of our crop artists, the putative August 2007 event will be a good
test to learn whether they might be truthful
and reliable concerning December 2012.
Or as John Locke once wrote (Essay Concerning Human Understanding,
1690), "In matters of substance, experiment can be our only guide."
If the
crop artists do have
wormhole / time-travel technology, as suggested by
five other pictures this year, then their arcane
source of knowledge seems
self-evident! By contrast, the
Chronology Protection Postulate of Stephen Hawking asserts
that past-transfer of future-knowledge would not be permitted by "the
laws of Nature". But nothing is more common than for great scientists to
disagree.....
