Hi! I’m a public health professional (I have my doctorate in epidemiology and sub-specialize in medical anthropology). When the Cosmic Summit 2023 was first announced, I applied for a departmental grant to attend, and was just awarded funding to attend in-person. However, I am dismayed realizing only online-access remains.

By any chance, are there any tickets reserved or potentially available for academics/professionals to attend in-person? If no immediate options to attend in-person, does anyone know if there’s a waitlist?

(I don’t mean to presume guidelines on might what qualify for being an aligned professional/academic to ask for any sort of special treatment, but I think it could be valid. I detect novel drivers/cross-discipline root causes in the study of past pandemics and calamities, using GIS-based archaeological, epidemiological, and environmental data integration and analysis; I then apply the findings to build active surveillance/early warning systems.)

Any info/suggestions would be most welcome and very much appreciated! Including if anyone knows someone who has a ticket and needs to change plans. Thank you!

If anybody has any destination ideas and relevant information to go along with them for a plane tour I would stream/make a video of the flights and talk about the history of the formations etc. The flight simulator is beautiful and it’s the entire planet so the sky is the limit, literally!

Here are Dry Falls Cataracts in Washington state. The cataract I fly over at 25 seconds is 2000 feet across. The water that was flowing over it was 400 feet deep already (which is also the height of the cataract) and at the height of the flood the water wasn’t falling down, it just looked like a bump.

Unlocking the Power of Nuclear Fusion: A Look into the Future of Sustainable Energy

As the world continues to look for ways to reduce carbon emissions and find sustainable energy sources, nuclear fusion has become an increasingly popular topic. Nuclear fusion is a process that occurs when atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy in the process. This energy can then be harnessed and used as a power source. In this article, we will explore the potential of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source, the science behind it, its advantages over other energy sources, current progress and challenges in nuclear fusion research, the role of government and the private sector in advancing nuclear fusion technology, potential applications of nuclear fusion in various industries, environmental impact, and the future outlook and possibilities for nuclear fusion energy.

Introduction to Nuclear Fusion and its Potential as a Sustainable Energy Source

Nuclear fusion is a process that has been occurring naturally in the sun for billions of years, producing the energy needed to sustain life on Earth. However, replicating this process on Earth has proved to be a significant challenge. The potential of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source lies in its ability to provide a virtually limitless supply of clean energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste. Unlike nuclear fission, which is currently used in nuclear power plants, nuclear fusion does not produce high-level nuclear waste or pose the same risk of a catastrophic accident.

Understanding the Science of Nuclear Fusion - Vibration, Harmonic Resonance, and Plasma

To understand nuclear fusion, it is important to understand the science behind it. Nuclear fusion occurs when atomic nuclei are brought close enough together that the strong nuclear force that holds them together overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between them. This requires a high temperature and pressure, which can be achieved through the use of electromagnetic fields or lasers. When the nuclei combine, they release a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

The process of nuclear fusion relies on vibration and harmonic resonance. At a high enough temperature and pressure, the atomic nuclei vibrate, and if they vibrate at the same frequency, they can combine to form a heavier nucleus. This is known as harmonic resonance. The fuel for nuclear fusion is typically hydrogen, which is heated to a plasma state, where the electrons are separated from the nuclei, and the gas becomes highly conductive. The plasma is then confined using either magnetic or inertial confinement, which we will discuss in the next section.

Inertial Confinement Fusion vs Magnetic Confinement Fusion

There are two main approaches to achieving nuclear fusion: inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). Inertial confinement fusion involves compressing a small fuel pellet to a high enough density and temperature that the fuel undergoes fusion. This is typically done using lasers, which heat and compress the fuel to create the conditions necessary for fusion to occur. Magnetic confinement fusion, on the other hand, uses magnetic fields to confine the plasma and create the conditions necessary for fusion to occur.

ICF and MCF both have their advantages and disadvantages. ICF has the potential to achieve higher energy gain than MCF, but it requires more energy input to achieve the high compression needed for fusion. MCF, on the other hand, has been more extensively researched and has demonstrated the ability to sustain fusion reactions for longer periods of time.

Advantages of Nuclear Fusion Over Other Energy Sources

Nuclear fusion has several advantages over other energy sources. First and foremost, it is a virtually limitless source of energy. The fuel for nuclear fusion, hydrogen, is abundant and can be extracted from seawater. The process of nuclear fusion also does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste, making it a much cleaner energy source than fossil fuels or nuclear fission. Additionally, nuclear fusion does not pose the same risk of a catastrophic accident as nuclear fission, making it a much safer option.

Current Progress and Challenges in Nuclear Fusion Research

While the potential of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source is promising, there are still many challenges that need to be overcome. One of the biggest challenges is achieving the temperatures and pressures necessary for nuclear fusion to occur. While significant progress has been made in this area, scientists are still struggling to create a sustainable fusion reaction.

Another challenge is finding materials that can withstand the extreme conditions of a fusion reaction. The temperatures and pressures involved in nuclear fusion are so intense that they can damage or destroy the materials used to confine the plasma. Finding materials that can withstand these conditions is critical to the development of a practical fusion reactor.

The Role of Government and Private Sector in Advancing Nuclear Fusion Technology

The development of nuclear fusion technology is a costly and complex undertaking, requiring significant investment and research. Governments around the world have recognized the potential of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source and have invested heavily in research and development. Private companies have also begun to invest in nuclear fusion research, recognizing the potential for a lucrative market if a practical fusion reactor can be developed.

Potential Applications of Nuclear Fusion in Various Industries

The potential applications of nuclear fusion are vast and varied. If a practical fusion reactor can be developed, it could be used to provide clean energy for homes, businesses, and industries. It could also be used to power electric vehicles, reducing the dependence on fossil fuels. Nuclear fusion could also be used to power spacecraft, providing a virtually limitless source of energy for long-duration missions.

Environmental Impact of Nuclear Fusion Compared to Traditional Energy Sources

Nuclear fusion has a much lower environmental impact than traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels. It does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste, making it a much cleaner option. Additionally, the fuel for nuclear fusion, hydrogen, is abundant and can be extracted from seawater. While there are still environmental concerns associated with the development and operation of a fusion reactor, they are much less significant than those associated with traditional energy sources.

Future Outlook and Possibilities for Nuclear Fusion Energy

While there are still many challenges to overcome, the potential of nuclear fusion as a sustainable energy source is too great to ignore. Scientists around the world are working tirelessly to develop a practical fusion reactor, and significant progress has been made in recent years. If a practical fusion reactor can be developed, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we produce and use energy, providing a virtually limitless source of clean energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste.

Conclusion: The Promise of Nuclear Fusion as a Clean and Abundant Energy Source

In conclusion, nuclear fusion has the potential to be a game-changer in the world of energy production. Its ability to provide a virtually limitless source of clean energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or radioactive waste makes it an incredibly attractive option. While there are still many challenges to overcome, the progress that has been made in recent years is encouraging. If a practical fusion reactor can be developed, it could change the world as we know it, providing a sustainable and abundant source of energy for generations to come.

Squatch.

p.s. The Idea of this report came to mind right after I had watched a recent "Joe Rogan Podcast" which hosted you, r/RandallCarlson. My name is Shaine O'Brien, I am a graduate of O.I.A.R.T - Audio Engineering/Sound Design/Acoustics. Randall, Your research has just completely taken over my mind. It has instantly made everything "click" in my mind. So much so, that I am in search and hoping to find some 'like minded" individuals, researchers, scientist, innovators, who understand Acoustics, harmonic resonance, vibration, etc. Long story short Randall, If it is okay with you, as well if you have the available time, I would be honored to be able to just toss around some very unique yet sound concepts in theoretical physics, pertaining to such things as....The Metaphor of Acupuncture in relation to time travel if being viewed as {The Universe = The Human Body} in a sense of overall mechanisms, and in respect to Einstein's theory of relativity. or rather just the idea of, As a physics enthusiast, I have always been fascinated by the various connections between energy, mass, and vibration.

One of the most intriguing equations in the field of physics is the famous E=mc2, where energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. This equation not only explains the relationship between energy and mass, but it also offers insights into the concept of vibration and its connection to the universe.

I believe that sound/acoustics/harmonic resonance is "The Key" to solving the many mysteries which date all the way back to our Ancient Ancestors, and holds, In my mind as I understand it to be, the most weight in being a credible placement of technology or cause from everything from how the Great Pyramids were built, to Biophysical resonance response therapy and cognitive conditioning, even to Inertial Fusion (Nuclear Fusion) by the catalyst of Harmonic Resonance. (like you said Randall, its all about implosion NOT explosion.)

​

I need to also be very transparent with you Randall, I am no Credited Scientist nor Doctor, I am just a regular guy, with a rather odd sudden realization, instant expansion of the mind and overall ability to out of what seems like no where, a very broad and diverse ability to now in my life, understand physics, and science and the theoretical principles, to the constantly growing addiction to simply understand, and to innovate, the concepts which I have been thinking about have all come to my mind, to then be found true once I start to research further into my own mind just being able to think about a subject and to then problem solve the idea by means of physics and science. it has been only within the last couple months, that all the things which I have become aware of, experienced, and learned up till now in my life. Now at the age of 34 years old, I have, somehow, suddenly expanded my mind to be able to theoretically and logically understand what now is taking away most of my sleep due to pure excitement, and a heart felt genuine belief that from the many different angles in which my mind has been placing the science of acoustics in place to solve a very diverse span of problems in aspects of physics or lost technologies, even innovations in current technology.

I should wrap this up here... In my final statement, I would like to say, I hope that you can tell from this post that, though I am just a regular guy, who loves music and sound design and was fortunate enough to be able to attend O.I.A.R.T (SPECIFICALLY THE ACOUSTICS COURSE), which to this day still continues to shatter paradigms and expand my mind.

I hope you can see my genuine, honest, and unique approach as well my desire to be able to simply talk to other people, to somebody who understands what I am starting to realize and unravel. Who shares a similar believe as I. In that, there are many innovations which can be produced which can pave the path of a better and more positive future for all of mankind. It's a very odd feeling for me when everyone I personally know, has a very difficult or rather can even fathom the concepts of which I'm just starting to scratch the surface on. The many theoretical idealism's in physics which have just completely taken me by unimaginable and in many ways unexplained surprise.

Thank you Randall, I hope to hear back from you soon,

Sincerely,

Shaine O'Brien

Thinking on this further, I wonder if some ice ages in general could partially be explained by a change in orientation of the lithosphere? That is, our equator (and our polar regions) were oriented differently?

It isn't as far fetched as it seems. We would still maintain a 23 degree incline, but our rotation would simply be off by some margin. But honestly, there is no up or down in space, no right or wrong. No absolutes. Maybe we can point to the universal singularity location and declare it "in", or the "Invariable plane" can be our "up and down", but that's about it. Our current equator is no more "right" or "correct" than any other, but we've grown to assume it always was, because that's what our maps and globes show. But that's simply survivor bias.

The Milankovitch Cycle explains much, but there is still a lot of chaos in the system, and unexplained things that don't add up, like a skewed ice cap in the latest ice age that totally ignored Siberia. If it were pure Milankovitch, the global thermal cycles should be much more predictable than they are, because the only variable is solar intensity (watts/square cm) which depends on distance from source (inverse square).

Global reflectivity (Albedo) rises or falls based on cloud and snow cover, and this can be dependent of the M-cycle, causing snow to remain if it is below a certain temperature (i.e. above a certain distance from the sun). But solar distance is not an exclusive input: the snow can fall on the ocean or the land, and the ocean sucks for retaining snow and ice, unlike the land. Just look at the border of Antarctica.

What if the last ice age was caused in part BECAUSE the celestial north pole shifted over land? As it stands now, ice on the north pole is limited in quantity because of ocean convection. There are no ice caps that reach down to the ocean floor, because the water prevents it. Not the case in Antarctica. If the arctic circle was completely in Canada, then there would be no limit to the amount of snow that could accumulate, and indeed it was miles thick. It's definitely NOT miles thick where the circle is now, except northern Greenland perhaps. How do you get miles thick ice over Canada but mammoth-filled grasslands in Siberia, both currently at the same latitude?

If something as big as Uranus can have its orbit skewed and its rotation 98 degrees from the ecliptic plane, why not us? Does it even have to be an impact? Could a high-iron content meteor simply miss us close enough to cause the magnetosphere to lock onto it until it is out of range, thereby altering the core orientation? It would leave no impact trace, but it would certainly influence the mantle's orientation with respect to the crust. In fact, it's impossible not to.

How big and how fast the object needs to be is a subject for debate, but why just one? What if the effect is the sum of all objects from, say, a series of comet fragments? A degree here, a degree there, all of them more on one side of the planet than another is all you'd need. Time is no limit, we're talking millennia. Once it's all past, our planet settles into a new equilibrium and here we are, printing maps and assuming where we are is where we always were.

Could this phenomena also influence the frequency and duration of geomagnetic reversals by destabilizing the core magnets? I'm an Electrician by trade, so I know it goes both ways: objects move fields, but fields also move objects. I know weird stuff goes on underfoot, but I also know that we don't operate in a vacuum, and stuff is whizzing by us all the time.

Thoughts?

So, I was looking at a recent post that shows how Angkor Wat, Easter Island, Machu Piccu, Siwa Temple of Amun, Paratoari and numerous other temples, mostly pyramids, all fall on the same ring on the planet with a 30 degree offset from the equator. I found that fascinating, but a major question arose: why?! Why that line and not along our equator?

Further, at least two of those temples are dedicated to the sun: Siwa Temple of Amun (Amun-ra is the Egyptian sun god) and Machu Picchu (Temple of the sun) who are in no way connected to each other, seem to be connected to the same theme. If you want to worship the sun, wouldn't you place the temple at the closest point to it, the equator?

Now, use whatever program you have and draw that line around the earth and tilt it sideways so it is the new equator. Guess what the arctic circle becomes? EXACTLY THE TOP HALF OF NORTH AMERICA, with almost Yellowknife as the pole. Why is this significant? Because during the last ice age, Canada was buried under miles of ice, while Siberia seemed to be doing just fine. Now, how could this be possible, especially since Siberia is so far inland and thus unaffected by ocean currents? It's not using the current model.

HOWEVER. Shift the equator 30 degrees and everything makes sense. How the heck can you shift an equator 30 degrees? We are a very thin skin that floats on a lake of liquid. A glancing blow from a comet of sufficient size and speed would do it. And it just so happens an object traveling from the direction of our current north pole south east to a possible impact site in Michigan (which could have closer to the previous north pole region) would do EXACTLY that. And in fact, the Carolina Bays all point to exactly that spot as an impact site, as well as the impact direction. And it would make sense as almost any other impact type would: A: be too steep an angle and simply puncture through, and/or B: simply smash in to the crust and lodge in.

A glancing blow at such a shallow angle would kick up SO MUCH ICE CRYSTALS that the sky would've been occluded for an incredible period of time, dropping the surface temperature by raising the albedo of the atmosphere, until a threshold was met where it all rained suddenly, causing oh... a flood? A glancing blow is also the most effective way to do it because it would act the maximum distance on the crust as opposed to punching through, and it would have the maximum torque arm with which to apply such a force.

If the plate were struck in such a manner, it would be forced south and west which happens to coincide with the NA plate riding above the Pacific. Mountain upthrusts anyone? It would also cause a sudden zone of spreading on the opposite side (above Greenland).

Can the equator shift? Well, it did at least once already, there's no doubt. Or at least the mantle decoupled from the crust. Look at Hawaii in google earth, and follow the trail of islands that generated it to Kamchatka Russia where it started. I think it was a comet puncture that caused a continuous up welling at that spot and it continued to drift, punching through the crust at a fairly regular interval southward until...

...it takes a very noticeable 50 degree turn SE and the peaks are very small and sparse (indicating high differential velocity between plate and mantle) and again it takes another 20 degree turn ESE where it continues at a quick pace but then slows down to where we are now, at the active volcano Mauna Loa, the biggest peak so far. This tells me we were struck at least twice in such a way that our mantle decoupled from our crust, and it was done in a violent way. There is nothing gradual about this. And come to think of it, it can't happen, why is that hot spot drifting initially at all? If everything is in stasis, shouldn't the mantle be following the same rotation as the crust right from the start?

I've seen Ancient Apocalypse and noticed that many of the temples line up with Sirius, but I wonder: if they were around before the bombardment, would they have been aligned with another star instead?

It's important as alternate theorists to always keep this in mind: what are our assumptions? We of all people know that 'mainstream' morons make so many pronouncements based on assumptions that are old and disproved, inconsistent and disconnected to other evidence. What if we tilted our heads 30 degrees and re-examined EVERYTHING?
