The Sun Appears to be About the Size of a Quarter Held at Arm's Length. -ALSO- The Moon Appears to be About the Size of a Quarter Held at Arm's Length. -AND- The Shadow of the Earth Cast onto the Moon is The Same Exact Size...

Just Coincidence? Or is the Cosmos Trying to Tell us Something?

Only on Earth do the Three Most Important Objects In the Universe appear to be the same size... Remind me of the Celestine Prophecy... Watch for Amazing Co-incidences...

I started thinking about this while watching the Movie TRON Legacy... and the Digital Woman from inside the computer asked the Man from Earth... "What Does the Sun Look Like?" ...and He Replied... "I'm Not Exactly Sure... Because You Can't Just LOOK AT IT... That Would cause Blindness..."

OK... That's not an Exact Transcription of the Movie... but To Me... That was the Meaning...

and at the end of the Movie he Takes her to Earth and shows her a Sunrise While Riding a Motorcycle...

The Math: 

The Sun's diameter is about 865,370 miles. The Distance from Earth to the Sun is 93,000,000 miles.

(but it changes - Earth's orbit is NOT a Circle)

The Moon's diameter of 2,159.1 miles. The Distance from Earth to The Moon is an average of 238,900 miles. (but it also changes - The Moon's orbit is NOT a Circle) 

865,370/2,159.1=400.8 
93,000,000/238,900=389.2 

400 is pretty damn close to 389...
Remember: an Object that is 400 Time Larger but
is 389 times farther away would appear to be
about the same size... and this is not just theoretical - I have seen BOTH a Solar and a Lunar Eclipse myself...

Nicolaus Copernicus formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than Earth at its center. The publication of Copernicus's model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution.[7] Before Copernicus "Everyone" Believed the Earth was the Center of the Universe...

According to Edwin Hubble: It appears that Everything is Moving away from US... One model that fits this data has the Earth at the Center of the Universe... another Model supposes that no matter where you observe the universe from, everything is always moving away from everything else...

"The Hubble law implies that the universe is expanding.[11] A decade before, the American astronomer Vesto Slipher had provided the first evidence that the light from many of these nebulae was strongly red-shifted, indicative of high recession velocities."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hubble

Another Strange Coincidence... It Could Be that The Earth is at the Center of the Universe after all... or at least the SUN... 

There is an apparent correlation between the plane of the Solar System and aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It gives the plane of the Solar System and hence the location of Earth a greater significance than might be expected by chance – a result which has been claimed to be evidence of a departure from the Copernican principle as assumed in the concordance model.

What do you think about all this Strangeness???

Global Warming Causes More Rain: More Water in the Ocean Evaporates - More White Clouds - More Sunshine Reflected into Space - Causing Global Cooling... So... It Will be an Up Down Temperature Fluctuation...

and On the Hotter Years We Will have more Earthquakes because the Diameter of the Entire Earth Will be Larger... and those Tectonic Plates Will Slip past each other With Ease... 

and People are NOT doing much to Prevent Climate Change... on the Rare Occasions that I Leave my House, I see Massive Traffic Jams everywhere... and on the TV News they report that people are flying in Jet Airplanes MORE than ever Before...

and Last Summer there Were Forest Fires in Canada... and those trees Will Not be capturing CO2

SO... I believe Life Will be Freaking Crazy from here on... Already I See That Those People Over There are Killing Each Other... for Unknown Reasons... The only good thing about that is... Crazy People Stop Behaving Bad When Dead!

and Everyone that Currently Lives near the Equator is Walking towards the POLES... Notice that there are Masses of people fleeing Mexico? and Fleeing Africa on Boats to get to Europe?

Skolstrejk för klimatetat #ClimateStrike - With Wildfires Focusing Our Attention on How Very Real Climate Change IS... Now Would be a Great Time to Take Action... For Example: Drive Cars Less... a LOT LESS! The Burning of Fossil Fuel is Universally Acknowledged to Cause Climate Change.

Before You Start The Car, ask... Is this Journey REALLY NEEDED? With the Price of Gasoline So Very High... Millions of People are Simply Leaving The Damn Thing Parked!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

and Yet... It appears that the Vast Majority of people in the USA have NOT Connected the Dots... This past Thanksgiving, Record numbers of Travelers Filled the Airports... Flying on Optional Trips to Visit Family... and ALL were Spewing Vast Quantities of Air Pollution from those Jet Airplanes... and NONE seemed Concerned About CAUSING Climate Change by Their Actions...
An Alternative to Jet Airplane Travel to Visit Family is Using Zoom on the Computer... There is Zero Air Pollution in a Picture Phone Call...



The Climate IS CHANGING. Soon California will become more like Arizona... all the trees will burn and we'll replace them with cactus... the Climate of Tijuana will move North and soon Oregon will be Like Baja... The Only Solution is for everyone to Keep Moving North... and that works great until we all live on the North Pole... a warm sunny place... then where do we go?

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.

Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car...

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone??? Do Your Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE!

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You... Why Not Just Go to Your Local Thrift Store and Buy Recycled Clothes? Our Thrift Store is a Benefit for the Eureka Homeless Shelter. Employing Homeless People and Paying for the Rescue Mission's Food and Rent Bills from their Profits. We Bought a Couch, two chairs, a Piano and Countless Books there... It Wonderful! and they Deliver!

Climate Change is Real and We All ought to DO SOMETHING... I don't own a Car... Rarely do I travel... except that I walk all over the place... every day... I use UBER when I need to go a longer distance... and... STOPPED FLYING IN JET AIRPLANES Totally!


American History: What Happened in 2019...

DC CLIMATE STRIKE – SHUT DOWN BUSINESS-AS-USUAL... Youth leaders from around the world have called for a climate strike and global week of action from September 20th-27th. They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to take action. In Washington, DC we will be answering the call and building on the momentum of the youth climate strikes in a major way:

On September 23rd,
We are going to Shut Down Washington, DC.

We will block key infrastructure to stop business-as-usual, bringing the whole city to a gridlocked standstill. Parents, workers, college students, and everyone who is concerned about the climate crisis will skip work and school and put off their other responsibilities to take action on the climate crisis.

Global Climate Strike 9/20
Free Coloring Book Art by gvan42



Remember: There are Two Ways to Get
Everything You Want.
Get More or Want Less!

What are the climate strikes—and how did they get started? In August 2018, then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg began skipping school every day to protest in front of Sweden’s parliament in the weeks before the Swedish general election. She demanded climate legislation that would bring Sweden in line with the Paris Agreement (keeping global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels). After the election, Thunberg continued to skip school to strike on Fridays, inspiring thousands of young people worldwide to follow suit. Since Thunberg’s Friday strikes, youth around the world have protested in front of their local legislatures on Fridays in solidarity, beginning the #FridaysForFuture movement. In a culmination of all their efforts, strikers from 117 countries are calling for massive global climate action, by everyone, on September 20th and again on September 27th—a full week of concentrated action that the strikers are calling the #WeekForFuture movement. https://www.chatelaine.com/living/global-climate-strike-canada-2019/ Greta Thunberg To U.S.: 'You Have A Moral Responsibility' On Climate Change. She says her message for President Trump is the same thing she tells other politicians: Listen to science, and take responsibility. https://www.npr.org/2019/09/13/760538254/greta-thunberg-to-u-s-you-have-a-moral-responsibility-on-climate-change Tumblr, Kickstarter, WordPress, and BitTorrent are among the companies to support the Global Climate Strike by donating ad space or shutting down their websites The youth-led global climate strike scheduled for next Friday has already secured a number of corporate backers, and now the campaign is going online. A number of the world's most popular and influential websites announced this week that they will help to promote the strike, pledging to spread the word on social media, put banners on their websites to signal support for the strikes, and in some cases shut down their operations. https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/3081528/websites-join-climate-strike Why People Worldwide Will Be Walking Off The Job Later This Month.

Solar Eclipse 10/14/2023 8 AM to 11 AM California Time... and... A Major Cosmic Coincidence or is the Universe Trying to Tell Us Something?

DID YOU KNOW? The Sun appears to be about the same size as a quarter held at arm's length... and... The Moon appears to be about the same size as a quarter held at arm's length... and The Shadow of the Earth on the Moon is the Same Exact Size.

This is NOT TRUE for any of the Other Planets in Our Solar System...

Only on Earth do the Three Most Important Objects appear to be the same size...

Just Coincidence??? Or is the Universe Trying to Tell us Something?

Maybe that's How we Selected the Size of a Quarter!

another Cosmic thing I noticed... In the Movie "TRON Legacy" the Lady who had lived her entire life in the Artificial World inside the Computer asked the Hero:

WHAT DOES THE SUN LOOK LIKE?

Made me think... I certainly can't LOOK at the Sun with my Eyes because that Causes Blindness...

So... What DOES it Look Like?

I Believe it's a Yellowish White and is about the Same Size as a Quarter Held at Arm's Length!

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber and Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California.

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

Then the Pacific Lumber Company was purchased at a foreclosure sale by The Fisher Family. They had made a fortune selling clothes at a chain of stores called "The Gap". They reintroduced the business plan called "sustainable logging" where the Lumberjacks would only cut down as many trees as grew during the year. This plan was invented by the original owner of Pacific Lumber, Simon J. Murphy... The concept was to cut 1% of the forest every year and plant new trees so that in a hundred years the new trees would have grown big enough to harvest.

Earth First!

During this time there were many ecology protests in Humboldt County. Including "Tree Sits" where forest protectors would build a treehouse in the upper branches of a giant Redwood in order to prevent Lumberjacks from Chainsawing the tree down. It would be possibly fatal for a tree sitter to be in a tree that was falling and the corporations were not willing to risk actual Human Life for profit. (Bad Publicity)... At the Tree Sit I attended MAXXAM Hired a Local man to "Evict" the Tree Sitters by climbing the tree and wrestling with the people... eventually carrying them to the ground where the Police arrested them.

Others committed "Tree Spiking" where large metal nails were driven into the wood of a tree and then the heads of the nails were clipped off. That way, if a tree was at the sawmill and the blade hit the metal, the blade would explode killing millworkers. Once again the corporation was not willing to risk people's lives and so trees that were spiked, were not cut down. The Forest Protectors spray painted the spiked trees so that the Lumberjacks would be aware of the danger.

Still others went to the Offices of Political Leaders and staged "Sit-Ins" where they would handcuff themselves to each other and chant/sing songs while being filmed by TV Cameras... At one of these events the local police used pepper spray on the protestors who were young women. The young women screamed loudly... and it was filmed by TV Stations. When this was broadcast on the TV News it outrages the citizens of California... There is a biological reaction to young women being harmed... This Media Event lead to a massive protest Statewide and the California Legislature Bought a Large Tract of Land and created the Headwaters Forest Park... The park protecting a stand of Old Growth Redwoods near Fortuna, California. It is a pretty park with a paved trail that is popular with people that have wheeled vehicles like bicycles, wheelchairs, skateboards and baby buggies. The hike from the parking lot to the Giant Redwood Trees is about five miles and simply too far for most people to walk but it's easy for people on wheels.

Another technique used to stop the logging was Scientific Ecology Studies that concluded that the Spotted Owl was losing it's habitat and it was in danger of going extinct. See Illustration below...

Two members of the Ecology Group Earth First! were bombed by the FBI in Oakland. There was a Trial and the FBI agreed to award the Survivor a large cash settlement but denied doing anything wrong. Judi Beri died and  Darryl Cherney Survived. He has retired from Activism but still performs as the leader of a musical group. They sing satire protest songs...

Clearcut Nation - the Movie

'Clearcut Nation' illuminates the decades of destructive logging practices which have been approved in the watersheds and forests of California--the watersheds that support all of the life in the state. It focuses on the Battle Creek watershed in Shasta and Tehama counties as an example, but overall is about how we treat, and relate to, the natural world. It includes interviews with author Derrick Jensen, botanist Julie Kierstead Nelson, PhD fire and vegetation ecologist Dennis Odion, PhD hydrologist Tom Myers, wildlife biologist Monica Bond, and rural residents who have experienced the vast changes to the land. This film is based on 8 years of research and field work, as well as decades of life experience in the wild lands of California.

Interesting author: David Grinspoon - Deep Ecology - How we can engineer our way out of global warming.

Yes, we are clever monkeys... We can figure a way to solve our own problems. Looking at our history over millions of years, we have figured out how to survive every time and it's likely that we will do so this time too. Geoengineering might work!

I saw him talk about his book at the Smithsonian Institute and his words were uplifting. Just because we have not come up with the solution yet is not cataclysmic because there are smart people being born every day. Maybe one of them will think of something new. Like a giant air conditioner that moves excess air pollution into space...

Quote from the Amazon webpage about this book:

For the first time in Earth's history, our planet is experiencing a confluence of rapidly accelerating changes prompted by one species: humans. Climate change is only the most visible of the modifications we've made--up until this point, inadvertently--to the planet. And our current behavior threatens not only our own future but that of countless other creatures. By comparing Earth's story to those of other planets, astrobiologist David Grinspoon shows what a strange and novel development it is for a species to evolve to build machines, and ultimately, global societies with world-shaping influence.
