Seeds of life on Earth may have come from Mars or other planets Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I do support caution when it comes to possible cross-contamination between Earth and Mars, but let's realize it is this cross-contamination that is most likely responsible for seeding life on Earth, Mars, and other planets in other solar systems. Comets carry the seeds of microbial life. And when comets slam into planets, those seeds are not entirely destroyed. In fact, there was a recent study showing that microbes are capable of surviving these enormous impacts that scientists once thought would kill every living thing.

In terms of life in the universe, I'm an optimist, because I think there is life on other planets in our solar system, not to mention the other solar systems in other galaxies in our universe. I think life is very successful, and that if there's any possible way to exist in a climate, you will find life there. I do support caution when it comes to possible cross-contamination between Earth and Mars, but let's realize it is this cross-contamination that is most likely responsible for seeding life on Earth, Mars, and other planets in other solar systems. Comets carry the seeds of microbial life.

Life on planet Earth may have actually begun with seeds brought to the planet riding on bits of rocks and chunks of other planets or comets from somewhere else in the galaxy. And it is perhaps through such mechanisms that life spreads throughout the galaxy: a series of collisions spreading seeds of life that then, through a process of evolution and natural selection over hundreds of millions of years, end up creating more complex organisms such as insects, mammals and even human beings.

And when comets slam into planets, those seeds are not entirely destroyed. In fact, there was a recent study showing that microbes are capable of surviving these enormous impacts that scientists once thought would kill every living thing. As a side note, it's difficult to gain a true appreciation of the amount of energy that's released during the impact of a comet with a celestial body such as a planet. Even a small comet (5 meters wide, for example) striking a planet's surface at sufficient speed is far more powerful than a typical nuclear bomb.

In U.S., science is distorted to promote political and corporate agendas Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

NASA was a great organization back in the 1960s and pulled off some amazing feats, but today it's a joke; a bloated bureaucratic agency whose only skill seems to be burning up taxpayer dollars in the high atmospheres of various planets. I'm not saying rocket science is easy, but at least NASA could bother to test its equipment before rocketing it off to distant planets. The (fake) search for a cure When it comes to cancer, the "search for the cure" is also a sad joke. We've had tens of thousands of people working on a cure for cancer for decades.

As was figured out about a hundred years ago, atoms are not unlike tiny solar systems, with a central sun (the nucleus) and planets around them (electrons). The nucleus is made up of positive charges and the electrons are negative. Equal numbers of negative and positive charges are required to give a nice neutral, well-behaved atom. The negative planets don't simply stack up in increasingly larger orbits, but instead form groups - groups of eight to be exact. It's as if in each orbit there was room for eight planets, then when that orbit is considered filled up, you start with the next one.

And for a very practical reason: the knowledge of precise locations of planets on the sky was vital for casting accurate horoscopes. To improve their accuracy, Alfonso commissioned new astronomical tables based on Ptolemy's model of the universe—then the latest word in cosmology. But when the intricacies of Ptolemy's system were explained to him, Alfonso was rather skeptical: "If the Lord Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon creation, I should have recommended something simpler."1 King Alfonso could have made a similar remark about the worldview that I have described in this book.

Then, almost two thousand years later, Johannes Kepler discovered that planets in their motion around the Sun describe ellipses with a remarkable accuracy. But what does the motion of Venus and Mars have to do with sections of a cone? Closer to home, in the 1960s my mathematician friend Victor Kac investigated a class of intricate mathematical structures now known as Kac-Moody algebras. His only motivation was his nose, which told him that the structures smelled interesting and could yield some beautiful mathematics.

The radiation will heat up the remnants of stars and planets to very uncomfortable temperatures, and any living creatures who managed to survive until then will end their days like lobsters in boiling water. The stars will eventually be disrupted in collisions with one another or get vaporized by the intense heat of the radiation. The resulting hot fireball will be similar to the one in the early universe, except now it will be contracting rather than expanding. Another difference from the big bang is that the contracting fireball is rather inhomogeneous.

They live on planets exactly like our Earth, with all its mountains, cities, trees, and butterflies. The earths revolve around perfect copies of our Sun, and each sun belongs to a grand spiral galaxy—an exact replica of our Milky Way. How far away are these earths populated by our duplicates? We know that matter contained in our O-region can be in about 10 to the 1090 different states. A box containing, say, a googleplex (10 to the 10100) O-regions should exhaust all these possibilities, with a large margin. Such a box should be, roughly, a googleplex light-years across.

The particles that make up stars, planets, and our bodies will not even exist in the new vacuum. All the familiar objects will be instantly destroyed and turned into clumps of some alien forms of matter. One way or the other, the vacuum energy will eventually turn negative in our local region. The region will then start contracting and will collapse to a big crunch.3 Exactly when this is going to happen is hard to predict. The rate of bubble nucleation can be extremely low, and it may take googles of years for our neighborhood to be hit by a bubble wall.

The negative planets don't simply stack up in increasingly larger orbits, but instead form groups - groups of eight to be exact. It's as if in each orbit there was room for eight planets, then when that orbit is considered filled up, you start with the next one. What is important about all this is that the social behaviour of atoms - the branch of science known as chemistry -depends largely on how many atoms there are in the outer orbit. It is as if atoms are more comfortable with filled orbits, and are constantly searching for partners to swap electrons and achieve peace.

Nicholas Culpeper later added astrology to the doctrine so that certain planets governed plants, thus asserting celestial influence on the body. In modern times, Homeopathy and Flower Essence therapy use the Doctrine of Signatures, believing that function follows form and that like cures like. An example is partridgeberry, a plant used in childbirth, whose signature is two flowers that make one berry. Another example is that of the seaweed bladder-wrack, used in hypothyroidism. The two bladders hanging down in a V shape look exactly like an enlarged thyroid gland.

Their production was affected by the changing seasons and by the aspect of the planets with which each was associated, as well as by diet and physical or mental actions. Individuals were healthy only when their bodies achieved the humoural balance that was appropriate not only to their ages, temperaments, habits, and employments, but also to their environments.

Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation Richard Bartlett See book keywords and concepts

From the dance of atoms to the revolution of the planets, every type of growth and motion is governed by the same sets of laws. These laws are portrayed through the geometric symmetry of shapes and forms. When using these simple geometric shapes in Matrix Energetics, consider for example that the scapula or shoulder blade's basic shape is that of a triangle. The sacrum, which is the bone at the base of the spine, is also essentially triangular in shape. Now, you have two scapulas: one on the right and another on the left.

The theory also predicts that some remote regions have planets exactly like our Earth, with continents of the same outline and terrain, inhabited by identical creatures, including our clones, some of them holding copies of this book in their hands. This book is about the new worldview, its origins, and its fascinating, bizarre, and at times disturbing implications. PART I GENESIS What Banged, How It Banged, and What Caused It to Bang In the context of inflationary cosmology, it is fair to say that the universe is the ultimate free lunch.

Forget what you were taught in high school physics: atoms are not like little solar systems, with electrons orbiting a nucleus like tiny planets orbiting a sun.9 Particles are waves, too! This is what the Copenhagen interpretation is all about. Named in honor of Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who first offered it as an explanation for the quirky nature of the quantum world, the Copenhagen interpretation says, basically, that matter has two complementary aspects: matter is both wave and particle at the same time.

Gravity alters the orbit of planets. Einstein's space-time warps under the influence of the mass of objects. The rush of air through our vocal cords vibrates air molecules and carves bursts of air into distinct words. When a metal plate across which sand has been spread is subjected to sound waves, the sand rearranges itself from a shapeless mass into intticate geometric patterns (refer to figure 8.2 on page 157). Natute appears to favor an energetic geometry, so it was not a huge stretch to think the body might as well. Peter and Reid set to work to test some of these ideas.

The Doctrine of Signatures also acknowledges that macrocosms such as planets can be represented in microcosms such as plants. In this way, celestial correspondences can be established by closely examining an herb and its correspondences to the ancient, intricate field of astrology and the rich language of the zodiac. Sun The Sun corresponds to hot, dry energy. It is the heart of the solar system and also governs the physical heart of the human body, as well as the spinal column and eyes.

Alternative Medicine?: A History Roberta Bivins See book keywords and concepts

In the fully elaborated model of this corporeal universe developed by the Chinese, called 'Five Element theory', specific organs were associated with the odours, tastes, colours, sensations, emotions, seasons, planets, and even compass directions identified with the same element. This meant that every aspect of the natural environment that was available to the senses was also represented in the body, in one or another of the five viscera. The parallels between the Chinese system and its analogues in classical and medieval European medicine, and in India's Ayurvedic texts, are remarkable.

Here in the above we are influenced by extraterrestrial beings as well as by stars, planets, and galaxies. The angelic realm is in this direction and these are the beings that protect us. We travel to the above when we need to understand the bigger picture. Receiving an astrology reading might be an encounter with the above direction, helping to bring clarity to our earthwalk by bringing understanding of celestial influences. The last direction, but not the least, is the center. This is the place where we encounter the Great Mystery, All That Is, and the Holy Heart.

The Chinese macrocosm correspondingly contained five recognized planets, five climates, five compass directions (the Chinese included 'centre' as well as the cardinal directions), five tastes, and five smells. Since the human body mirrored in miniature this natural world, Chinese medicine was organized around five viscera—the heart, the liver, the spleen, the lungs, and the kidneys, each of which was also associated with a particular element (fire, wood, earth, metal, and water, respectively).

But the biggest prize—and the greatest challenge—of space exploration would be to send satellites or even landers to other planets in our solar system. We may first have to build an elevator to reduce the energy costs of getting to high orbit (and, potentially, to serve as a launch "slingshot"). Even without interplanetary satellites, our understanding of how planets function may be on the verge of a revolution. Mars will undoubtedly get the most attention, given the intriguing evidence concerning life there.

If everyone on the earth lived like the average North American, we'd need five planets to support our lifestyles; if we all lived like the average European, we'd need three planets; while if we lived like the average Pakistani, we'd be using less than one planet. But there aren't a lot of teenagers around the world clamoring to live like Pakistanis. No, what the kids want, from Cape Town to Caracas to Novosibirsk and everywhere in between, is to live like Americans, or at least Italians: They want stereos. They want refrigerators. They want cars. They want computers. They want better lives.

Apart from the daily and seasonal cycles of change, the answer to this mysterious behavior of the body lies, among other reasons, in the continuous movement of the planets and their various positions. Good Health Requires Natural Instinct In 1984, Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia proved that the human body is composed mostly of energy and of very little matter. To be exact, for each particle of matter, there are 974,600,000 units of energy (photons). In other words, only one billionth of your body consists of matter; the rest is vibrational energy.

President George Bush has declared all planets in the solar system to be American soil, especially any planets that might contain oil. Americans will soon be selected by a national lottery system and sent to live on Mars, Neptune, and satellites of Saturn, where gravitational effects are apparently very weak and satellite television only has three channels, one of which is the video feed from the Mars rovers. In preparation for this resettlement plan, NASA is reportedly working hard on figuring out how to launch people into outer space without exploding them.
