On August 9, 2005, three novel and
exciting crop pictures were found in southern England at Wayland's
Smithy, Marden and Shelbourne. The first two have already been much
discussed:
(1) Wayland's Smithy showed an ancient
Mayan-calendar motif, combined with binary-hexadecimal coding as used
in modern computers. It thereby provided two series of numbers
"13-10-7" and "14-5-11" in what appears to be the Mayan 52-year
calendar system (based on motions of the Sun and Venus as seen from
Earth).
Jaime Maussan hypothesized on a 2005
DVD from this website, "Those are dates!
Something is going to happen then!" One date 13-10-7 gave May 1-4,
2005 as first crop picture of the year (Golden Ball Hill), while the
other date 14-5-11 gave August 13-16, 2007 of presently unknown
significance.
(2) Marden showed two ancient symbols
from Mayan or Hindu astronomy, concerning "end of the age" or "end of
the Fourth Sun".
(3) Shelbourne was interpreted by many
people as landscape art, since it showed numerous fine lines like those
seen on a CD or "digital disc".
We would now like to suggest that
Shelbourne could be
interpreted more plausibly in terms of a
series of outward-moving
gravity waves, as
shown for example in the logo of the "Centre for Gravitational Wave
Physics" at Penn State University:
( 
Now that amazing display of
three crop pictures at once makes
perfect sense: (1) and (2) were telling us the same as (3), except in
different ways. In other words, the crop artists presumably
intended their second date of August 13-16, 2007 from Wayland's
Smithy to be associated with Marden and Shelbourne; and so Jaime
Maussan's inspired guess is answered in terms of advanced physics!
The 2006 season has also seen many
crop pictures illustrating "wormholes", "waves from space" or "gravity
waves". Hence this new interpretation of Shelbourne ties together both
years 2005 and 2006, as well as the end of 2004.
Why should the crop artists be telling us
about gravity waves, waves from space, or gravity waves at this
particular time? The presumed answer still lies in our future, however
it may be that our planet is about to be subjected to a series of
gravity-wave impacts from distant astronomical sources, say from the
galactic centre.
Some astronomers (www.etheric.com/GalacticCenter/GRB.html)
have speculated that the 2004 Sumatra earthquake was an
astronomically-caused geological event. Thus, a super-powerful x-ray
blast from the neutron star SGR
1806-20 reached Earth the next day, and gravity waves
are often emitted in tandem with x-rays.
Furthermore on December 26, 2004 (day
of the earthquake), that distant neutron star was located in the
sky, as seen from Earth, only 3 degrees away from our Sun.
Was that
pure coincidence? Or could very-low-frequency gravity waves have "lensed"
around our Sun and been "amplified" by it, during their travel to
Earth?
The lensing-amplification of light waves
by an intervening massive object is well known:
One difference between light waves versus
gravity waves is that gravity waves may show much longer wavelengths.
Hence the background alignment of a distant source with our Sun,
relative to Earth, need not be so precise for gravity as for light. In
other words, the "radius of a focused region" increases in proportion
to "gravitational wavelength" (De Paolis
et al., Astronomy and Astrophysics
394, 749-752, 2002):
Maybe now we just have to wait, to learn
whether two near-future dates of
August 13-16, 2007 and
December 21-22, 2012
have any real physical significance?
The latter date was emphasized in crop
pictures from Silbury 2004 and Etchilhampton 1997, and represents the
end of our current Mayan calendar of 5125 years. Interestingly enough,
on December 21-22, 2012, our Sun as seen from Earth will pass within 5
sky-degrees of an ultra-massive black hole called
Sgr A* which is located at the
center of our galaxy: more lensing-amplification?
That central black hole of mass 2.6
million Earth-suns is a strong source of x-rays (yellow-orange
contours), and erupted violently just 350 years ago:
(
For those readers who like history, it may
be of further interest that the ancient Mayan symbol for "galactic
centre" looks somewhat like the small region of space around
Sgr A* itself, as a
downward-curving spiral:
Three good websites for further reading
about the galactic centre, black holes and gravity waves would be:

And so the great journey into 2007 begins!
