12:25 AM Can anybody understand the Moon?

That is. Why sometimes is big and bright and sometimes is like cut in half or just a parenthesis.

I did not until recently. I mean, maybe 10-20 years ago. In the later part of my life.

They call them phases of the Moon. The Moon appears in the sky like a ball of stone illuminated by the Sun. Because the Moon rotates around Earth (the only true part of the geocentric system before Copernicus). The only planet that rotates around Earth. Rest of them including Earth rotate around Sun.

As seen in the video above. Earth rotates around self 365-6 times while it rotates around Sun once. Moon rotates around Earth every 29.5 days. Earth's rotation angle is tilted at 23 degree, hence the season (some rotating parts are illuminated more than others six months of the year)

Can see from the video above. When Moon is farthest to the Sun or aligned with Sun and Earth on the far side of it, it is fully illuminated. However, the plane of the Moon rotation is tilted some 5 degrees from the plane of Earth rotation around Sun.

Because of that, when Moon is aligned with Earth on the far side it cannot be eclipsed by (in the shadow of) Earth except in a few narrow periods called nodes. Same when Moon is aligned with Sun and Earth on the closest point to the Sun, it cannot create eclipses except in the nodes and not always or every year.

If the plane of Moon rotation was the same as the plane of Earth rotation around Sun, we would get eclipses every month. A Moon one and a Sun one. Though they come in a position pretty close when new or full. Within up to 5 degrees that is.

By dividing 365.4 to 29.5 we get 12.38 or the number of months. Of course the noun month in English comes from Moon. However, it is a bit more than that. How much more? 0.38 months or 11 days. So the calendar needed corrections, otherwise the months would not coincide with seasons, and after 30 years March would fall in fall time etc..

First calendars where of course Moon calendars. It was much easier to count new moons or full moons than days within a year. Why would earliest civilizations need a calendar. Simple. Because they needed to know when to sow.

In Northern Hemisphere sowing time was critical and the ever drifting lunar calendar would not work. So they learned to build structures like Stonehenge.

When the shadow of the center pillar reached a certain stone at dawn, they knew is was time to sow. I won't get into the details of it, it's quite a bit of astronomy and geometry. They didn't know that, it was a process of trial and error and of course they tried at lower scales first. Bored already? Watch a video or read a poem.

Just figured. It is no joke. 23% of the young women have their cycle synced with the Full Moon while being fertile at the middle of the cycle or @New Moon, or during the darkest of nights. Anybody can guess why? So they can go unseen and have sex with people other than their own tribe, for increasing gene pool.

Though they were no noises upstairs  tonight, i forgot why i started this post (entry whatever) so i will continue when i remember.

Nevermind, i remembered (and forgot again) but i'm too tired, bored and pissed and out of diet caffein free soda. I go to smoke a cigarette (second or third or better said first of the day (it's past midnight), i am addicted already).

2:05 Ok i haven't smoked yet by i decided how to finish this. First. I am not so much tired as my eyes hurt for having the ozone generator on for many hours the night before.

I will never forget the night of the 1977 earthquake. I was at Iași, after a week of being in bed with a cold. I went outside and met with one colleague and a teacher (class master) who came from home in the area where we were living to see how we were doing?

We walked on the streets like many others and i looked at the sky and saw a full moon among some fluffy clouds that today i learnt are associated with low atmospheric pressure ahead of a storm. According to Stellarium, Moon was close to Earth.

Three of the conditions met according to my theories. One more could have been heavy machinery cause in Romania at that time we did not have freeways and it was late in the evening anyways. A few trains heavily loaded braking simultaneously in the area above the epicenter? (at that time trains in Romania were going up to 120 kmh).

April 7

1:35 AM I wish i figured this one out by myself, because i made lots of correlations of earthquakes with Moon orbit, distance, whatever.

But i least i can say why is happening. There are a number of factors  that combine and result in highest tides, tide being a measure of total gravitational pull of Sun and Moon combined.

Factors

Earth - Moon distance. It varies by about 10% with a period of about 100 days. But i did not realize until today there was such a cyclicity. During the current year, shortest distance is around equinoxes.

Sun Moon alignment. Moon orbit plane is different than ecliptic plane. Sun eclipses cannot occur during certain periods of the year when Moon is not aligned well with the Sun when in conjunction.

So when a Sun Moon alignment will occur around equinoxes with shortest Moon distance you will have the perfect storm.

But of course there have to be conditions for that to happen. Most shallow earthquakes happen because of explosive boiling of pressurized hot thermal water in vast closed underground pockets (may call them lakes if you prefer) triggered by gravity forces so the water has to be at the right pressure and temperature for that to happen.

It is in a way similar to when you heat water in the microwave at boiling point, it stops boiling when you pull it and boils again due to change of pressure when you put the cup on a table which creates a small shockwave in the water and initiates boiling.

The volume of crust above the water pocked is raised by the combined gravity action of Sun and Moon, decreasing the pressure in the pocket.

Fast changing atmospheric pressure. It can contribute to variation of pressure inside the deep pockets in the ground.

However, there could be extra man made factors. Like synchronized heavy machinery that make the ground oscillates at that seismic area resonance (each have a different one). Traffic going at the right speed during rush hour, etc..

According to Stellarium, during the devastating earthquake of March 4 1977 in Romania, Moon was at a distance of 371000 km, three days away from the minimum of 366000 on 7, full, thus aligned with the Sun though on the other side of the Earth, closest such alignment before equinox, pulling the Earth and elongating it from the other direction of the Sun.

At 85 km it was a deep earthquake,  which is usually done by an explosive phase changing with (changing the volume) in a pocket of magma. 

5:18 PM A few days ago i upgraded my catch can with an aluminum tube to prevent spitting oil in the out port and a lid made of inox (for spice containers) with an o ring around it (green, oil resistant), creating a new compartment in it, to catch the oil and keep it from splashing. I drilled 4x2 mm holes in the lid so the emulsion can get in there with car's movement and it cannot get back out, even if you overturn it when the car doesn't move.

Today i added the last thing and i think i'm done with it. An easy empty plug. I think it needs to be emptied every fill-up. I will call it Catch Can V 8.00 and hopefully the last.

This device improves the MPG, power by up to 10%, vibrations, steering. BTW anybody can tell me how many patents i got in here (including corrugated inox condenser done previously). We have a saying in Romania. "Să fie primit!" (May God appreciate it).

And yes, this is where the oil "evaporates" from you engine. Actually it does not. It goes through you PCV in the intake, contaminating the valves, spark plugs, spark plug threads, burning in the combustion chamber, catalytic, etc.. Catch cans can prevent all that.

April 8

2:14 Research Gate is a serious site with articles written by real scientists from around the world. Here's a diagram with distance Earth Sun. I knew the distance varies due to gravity pull of the Moon when it rotates around Earth. Actually it varies a lot or by 2.5% on average. There is another variation of Earth-Sun distance which happens yearly, with a low at the beginning of the year and you can see the two combined in this diagram.

It is  the only one i could find on internet. However i wish the diagram would allow me to see more precisely the distance in a certain day of the year. It will be logical to have a correlation between the phases of the moon and this diagram.

Earth-Moon distance is changing because Moon also rotates around Earth on an elliptical trajectory, like Earth around Sun, with Earth in one of the two foci. While the axis of alignment Sun Earth Moon rotates 360 degrees during a whole year, the two axis of the Moons ecliptic do not, hence the one cycle difference.

Thus changing distance does not coincides with phases of the moon. There is a shifting phase difference.

Here is a list with the major earthquakes in 2014. You can look for correlations and it looks like most occurred when moon was closer, either near full or near new moon.

By looking at this diagram which is a 2D projection of the plane at an angle which is most familiar, one can easily understand why i mistakenly said earlier Earth is closest to Sun at equinoxes.

However, tides which are again a measure of the gravity pull of Sun and Moon combined, are indeed higher during this period. And northern hemisphere is indeed closest to the Sun. Though it keeps inclining towards it, after, due to the tilt, the distance increases due to ecliptic.

7:56 Barometric pressure history in Hunterdon County NJ (where the April 5 earthquake occurred). Tide levels in the same period. Higher tides indicate a more significant pull of Sun and Moon gravity with lowering of the pressure in Earth's mantle.

Friday 5 (earthquake day) saw a rise after a very rare low barometric pressure.

Tide levels in Atlantic City, NJ around April 5 earthquake.

Spring tides in Atlantic City, NJ. (Max display on the site period is 30 days).

LA High Tide Season of June 2024

Following predictions, they were 2 small EQs within 100 km of LA area during the current high tide season, on lower barometric pressure, and following this trend it is possible to have a similar one today and one between 3 and 4 degrees On June 7 @ 6 PM.

On PCs click on any image and move the wheel.

11:05 Ok so it was one, but at 2 PM or four hours ahead of predicted time.

There are 2 different types of tides and one combination, corresponding to different sides of the world.

Atlantic tides in Europe are 2-3 times higher but happen only 2 times a day. It is like the two peaks combined into one. This could be due to the sheer size of Pacific Ocean. Some say there could be tidal waves, reflections from shores, some say it could be a separation between Sun and Moon influence that is possible only in Pacific. But that separation it is not 100% since the Moon culmination was only 4 hours away and Moon was not pulling vertically.

If so, obviously the peak is not 4 hours delayed like in Moon tides. However, the attraction of the Sun and the tides are half of that of Moon, because of the distance.

Local time in California is one hour ahead due to daylight savings. So 2 PM should actually be 1 PM, right? Also Sun culmination never coincides with noon. So it was a Sun culmination EQ. Patience please cause we're all learning here.

It could also have been a sudden freak variation in atmospheric pressure not recorded by sensors. The gaps in NOAA databases are also very frustrating but is way better than in any other countries and i'm afraid it's all we got.

I did not want to happen this way. I wanted to study it, statistically, and and then build a mathematical formula of the combined  Sun And Moon influences and/or run a supercomputer simulation because there are so many influences in tides, but i hit a wall of bureaucracy at USGS so i decided to publish here everything that crosses my mind until we all can draw a conclusion. So please pardon the hiccups.

I should not do this at all but it looks like they keep it to themselves and got all scientists in the world on their payroll (when i wrote this she got up and started to walk and awoke Angela).

Also note that there were was one in San Francisco at the predicted time, minus almost one hour due to position (longitude) though legally it is the same time zone and one similar to the "rogue" one, @noon.

A bunch of them in Mexico, obeying both rules etc. Two while i was writing here in the same area when one happened before those in California which means more could come on the West Coast as we speak. Right now both Sun and Moon are on the other side of the Earth.

It looks like all west coast eqs during this high tide seasons can be grouped by hours, like around noon, around 5, around 9 in the morning or like about 4 hours before tidal peaks and they are indeed linked to atmospheric pressure.

I will try to draw some histograms tomorrow.

There are more high tides ahead. One peak is on 4th of July, corresponding to the big one in 2019 when atmospheric pressure was higher above 1015 mb. However during the current season the tides were higher, like 6.75 vs 6.35 in 2019 and during this 4th of July they will be 6.62. So we just dodged some.

Great Pyramid and Earth Precession

Last updated 3.28.2023

The rotation axis of the Earth is inclined relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. Because of the inclination of the rotation axis, Earth is never exposed equally within a year to the illumination (and heating) of the Sun. That's why we have seasons. Seasons are in opposition between North and South, thus when we have winter in the northern hemisphere we have summer in southern and the other way around.

In the same time, the orbit itself is not a perfect circle, but an ellipse. But most importantly, the rotation axis which is constant around 23 degrees wobbles within a 23 thousand years cycle (pure coincidence of numbers). This rotation of the axis with a 23 thousand years period is called precession. But it is so slow it would not make any noticeable difference to others than astronomers within let's say 1000 years. However the ancient ones knew about it. The djed in Egyptian pictogram representing Earth's magnetic field and its true cause is inclined at 23 degrees.

(The images below are not distorted but exaggerated showing the orbit of Earth around Sun is not a circle but an ellipse with Sun in one of the centers and what ellipse shows only 5% difference between the two diameters).


And here's where the trouble begins. When let's say northern hemisphere is further from Sun in the same time with Earth being inclined away from Sun in that side of the elliptic we have an ice age in the North. Close to this theory we have

https://www.google.com/search?q=milankovitch+cycles&gws_rd=ssl

According to this theory the most livable time on the whole planet is right in between of maximum of glaciations or equal glaciations between North and South, or the present moment. And place, around Equator, probably most time. Soon, that is in a few thousand years or so, we're going to start freezing in the southern hemisphere.

This is known to astronomers and to many others as the "astronomical theory of ice ages", although by the general public is confused with pseudoscience. Also.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession#Astronomy

But here comes the real interesting part. I've been looking through the peep hole that is the northern shaft of the Great Pyramid. (With Stellarium, of course. That is i put in Stellarium - a free planetarium app for Windows and Linux - on the exact coordinates of the Great Pyramid and directed the view towards the direction of the shaft). What i've seen right away is... Polaris. I moved the time to the year 2105 when by astronomical predictions Polaris is supposed to point Earth's geographic North within about 14 minutes of an arc (not specified where on Earth from) . From the latitude of the pyramids, it's within just less than a degree.  http://stars.astro.illinois.edu/sow/polaris.html

According to Stellarium, in the year -23650 there was also an alignment of the shaft within less then of a degree.

A few hundred years before 2105, it was within 1.5 degrees or so, so it will be a few hundreds after. Then it starts getting even further. That means Polaris will be the best indication for Earth's geographic North Pole around year 2105.

Through the shaft in that year, we can see it within less than a degree or so, a bit less than today (throughout daily or yearly cycle). That means we are 90 years away from the middle of the cycle.

So will be @ 27820. But Stellarium is not a true astronomical prediction tool. It only works with currently known orbits not affected by gravity. So it gives a predicted precession period of about 25700 years instead of other calculations of about 25920.


However Milankovitch cycles predict a complete glaciation cycle of about 23000 years (second paragraph).

At any other time, Earth geographic North Pole is away from Polaris, the furthest right in between, when Polaris is at double the inclination angle, 2x23 decrees, that is about 46 degree.

According to all these, 13000 years from now, "down under" will finally be winter at Christmas time... But in the mean time we will have an ice age at South Pole that would probably include Australia and a complete meltdown of the polar cap in North.

Sun, Moon and Earthquakes

[Post in development. Please be patient. It will take days until i can get screenshots with the moon for all earthquakes in the 20th and 21st centuries. But from what i've seen so far earthquakes do not occur always when Moon is full or new. I believe statistically without any filters there is still evidence of a link between alignements and earthquakes. But i also suspect if you eliminate cases when alignements occur when moon is farthest from Earth and in an "unfavorable" position.

(Moon does not rotate around Earth in the same plan with Sun but in a tilted one. Also orbit is not circular but elliptical with more than 10 percent difference in diameters.)

https://www.google.com/search?q=moon+motion+around+earth&biw=1215&bih=624&tbm=isch

The best way to prove a correlation i think it would be with the tides. Tides follow closely every variation and cycles of Moon orbit in fact giving a precise measure of the combinations of Moon-Sun gravity effect on entire Earth. Maybe it would be best if i put the screenshots on hold and try to find a link in that direction.

"Several recent studies, however, have found a correlation between earth tides (caused by the position of the moon relative to the earth) and some types of earthquakes.

One study, for example, concludes that during times of higher earth and ocean tides, such as during times of full or new moon, earthquakes are more likely on shallow thrust faults near the edges of continents and in (underwater) subduction zones." https://www2.usgs.gov/faq/categories/9827/3354

The only thing that does not fit with my theory is depth. Aquifers are almost near ground level, at rivers level. Can vibration from a big surface focus deep inside the earth and in the end fool measurements. In fact i really don't understand how they can say the depth of an earthquake if not from calculations between reflection times, phase of the waves etc. but all based on current theories.

I've been looking at a few sides with tide predictions and historic and realized that alone is not what i'm looking for. Calculation of Moon and Sun gravity towards large bodies of water on the surface of the Earth start looking to me like a nightmare. The pull comes from a different direction at every latitude, there is a horizontal and vertical component of the pull. Inertia also plays a role. Without computer simulation taking into account the shape of the body of water, impossible to make a correlation between Sun and Moon gravity and earthquakes.

Even more impossible in a body of water that sits in a sponge like irregular shape geological structure.

In the mean time i'be been thinking. What is the temperature at 100 km or where a deep earthquake occurs. According to google, 25 degree per km, that is 2500 degrees at 100 km? https://www.google.com/search?q=earth+temperature+depth

Lava temperature is about 1000 Celsius that corresponds to a depth of 40 km?

At 2500 most materials known to human kind are melted. How can they say an earthquake occured at 100 km depth or more and still believe in plate tectonics theory?

Boiling water temperature is in an area of just 4 km deep. I've been thinking. We know for a long time about the existence of thermal water. In some places water comes to the surface at high temperature. But imagine what happens when underground water sitting there in hard to imagine shapes of caves and reservoirs together with air bubbles of different pressures, tipped by Moon-Sun gravity and/or inertia moves suddenly into a deep cave or crack like 4 km deep and start boiling? Steam would build up pressure then what? Create a bubble of steam that would come back at the surface at high speeds or cracking the earth even further, collapse caves etc... Sending shock waves in the aquifers and surface... Then cool on its way to the surface and condensate back in the aquifer, like in a cycle.... Create an earthquake? Most likely but that would be indeed impossible to predict...

One thing is sure though. Building dams on aquifers is not a good idea. And aquifers are everywhere...

Mapping the underground with ground penetrating radar and/or other methods like seismic exploration or send robots in the aquifers... Then simulate everything on supercomputers to figure when large amounts of water are about to tip in a deep hot cave... But after such an event the configuration would change... Over and over...

Until i'm done with the screenshots... Anyone can see Moon, distance from Earth and from Sun, and all the other parameters during any earthquake with these simple steps.

Install Stellarium http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Installation

Start it.

Hit F11 to get into fullscreen.

Search for the Moon. <CTL><F> and type moon in the search box then enter.

Zoom with mousewheel until you like what you see.

Hit F5 to bring in the time window. Input the date of the earthquake.

Location doesn't matter so much. Moon is pretty much the same on all Earth within 24 hours or so.

But if you wanna be more accurate you can do so by bringing the location Window from the hidden menu on the left.
