The Comet of Doom

The Comet of Doom

Our readers and many in the new age movement are still talking about the comet Elenin and worrying that it may herald an apocalypse of some kind. (written July 2011)

 By all estimates Elenin is 1-2 miles in diameter and thousands of times smaller than a brown dwarf – concerning which many think is coming.

As far as the supposed news blackout goes I think the problem is there is just nothing newsworthy. A long shot guess by one amateur astronomer that it could provide a spectacular display is not likely to make any news unless backed up by other astronomers as was the discovery of the Hale-Bop comet with its trajectory toward Jupiter.

There is less than a chance in a million that Elenin will create any problem for us so I’m not losing any sleep on it unless I receive some sort of revelation.

Much bigger news than anything recent about Elenin is the arrival of the half billion-dollar space probe, Dawn, to the asteroid Vesta. This is a pretty big deal and I haven’t heard a word of it in the mainstream media. You can check this out here:

I just cannot get excited about Elenin and have no sense that anything that it may cause will have any negative effect on my life or anything I am supposed to do. I’m sure there will be some earthquakes between August and December of this year and if there are any significant ones then they will be attributed by some to Elenin, but the chances of it directly causing any harm to us is very low indeed.

I am about a thousand times more concerned about the economy.

By January of next year the memory of disaster warnings over Elenin will fade into the background as has the alarm over Y2K and Past Nibiru warnings. We will have other things to worry about.

If the economy crashes we could have a worldwide depression worse than anything we have ever suffered from in the past depressions?

If we had a perfect storm we could lose everything. Without that, things will just get worse until some positive changes are made.

Zimbabwe is an example of extreme monetary abuse. Its Federal Reserve increased the money supply by 20 million times within a year’s time. The problem had nothing to do with interest free money but a reckless increase of the money supply. I doubt if the money was interest free since the central bank was printing it.

If we increased our money supply by 20 million times instead of 5% or so we would be immediately destroyed economically and it wouldn’t matter what kind of money it was if there was an increase like that.

Update on Elenin

Last Saturday [Sept 10th] Comet Elenin passed its first major milestone that was supposed to bring great destruction. On this date it reached its closest approach to the sun.

It should now be clear to all that:

[1] Elenin is not a Brown Dwarf star. It cannot even be seen with the naked eye but only with good binoculars or a telescope.

[2] Its tail is not showering us with a reign of terror falling from the skies nor is such an event even close to likely now or in the future.

The next major date on the schedule is September 26th or 27th. This is the day when we will be lined up again in a straight line with the sun, earth and Elenin. Many are predicting a great earthquake or worse.

Sept 30, 2011 – The Real Illusion

It always amazes that even though 99% of specific prophecies do not come true that there is never a shortage of people attempting to get the glory and accolades for making one that would.

We’ve had a couple more failed ones the past few days.

First as I related a while back David B. Cohen MD has predicted that a Supernova will occur in the constellation of Orion, which was supposed to open The Seventh Seal. This was supposed to happen Sept 23.

It is now Sept 30 and there is no supernova in sight.

He probably chose Orion for his predictions because scientists say that the giant star, Betelgeuse, located there, will go supernova. What he didn’t take into consideration is that it probably will not happen for another million years.

Then we had another prediction around Elenin. It was supposed to cause massive earthquakes around Sept 26 or 27th.

Again, nothing happened. But are believers discouraged?

Not hardly. As usually happens with failed predictions, rationalization sets in. Now the word is that Elenin was just a foreshadowing of the real red dwarf star which will shortly come and doom us all.

It is an amazing thing to Google Elenin. Instead of getting writings from any type of real scientists on it at least 95% of the sites associate Elenin with Nibiru, a red dwarf, the end of the world, God’s judgment, UFOs, NASA cover-ups or other conspiracies.

This is indeed an example of an illusion but it is an illusion that should be easy for disciples to see through.

But the thing to take note of is the real core illusion is hidden. Because the truth around Elenin is obvious to the rational mind we can assume that the hype around Elenin is merely a symptom of the true illusion of the alarmists.

Is 3I/Atlas a Spacecraft?

Is 3I/Atlas a Spacecraft?

I thought I would make a few comments on the controversial interstellar comet called 3I/Atlas.

Quite a few in the alternative spiritual group seem to think it is an intelligently designed spacecraft. Since it is about 12.5 miles in diameter that would make it an extremely large one, so some feel it is a large mother ship that may soon be releasing probes to scout around our solar system.

Like most celestial objects this one exhibits a few anomalies. The most significant one is that it entered our solar system at just the right angle so its trajectory comes fairly close to three of our planets.  Its closest approach is about 60 million miles from Venus, 17.6 million miles from Mars and 33.5 million miles from Jupiter.

These are still quite lengthy distances – keep in mind that our moon is only around a quarter of a million miles from earth so 17-60 million miles away is not close enough for a complete probing and discovery.

The comet misses the earth by quite a distance, about 168 million miles or about 700 times further away than the moon. Then from October 1, 2025, to November 9 it will be on the other side of the sun where we will be unable to view it. This just fuels the speculation, for believers are saying that they know that the earth has intelligent life and they are not coming close for they want to avoid detection. Then they are hiding behind the sun for over a month to perform a secret probing that they do not want us to see.

That all makes good science fiction and I personally would like to see proof of intelligent life beyond the earth, but the chances of this being it are very slim.

Consider this. The comet is traveling at approximately 137,000 miles per hour. That is fast by our earthly standards but as far as interstellar travel goes that is very slow. If it originated from our nearest star system of Alpha Centauri at that speed it would take over 21,000 years to reach us.

But it did not come from that direction. After much calculation astronomers believe that it originated in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, near the Milky Way’s Galactic Center. This suggests it was ejected billions of years ago from a low-metallicity star system in the galaxy’s thin disk around 10 billion years ago making it older than our Solar System.

This means that the comet originated not only before there was life on earth, but before the earth and sun even existed.

Wherever it is from it obviously originated too far back in time to be a probe to find out more about life in or solar system or to consider the avoiding of human detection.  After all, it has only been about a hundred years that we have had the technology to detect a comet like this.

It would take a long article to give all the pros and cons as to whether this is a spacecraft but 3I/Atlas shows no deliberate maneuvers, deceleration for rendezvous, or signals in route – none observed, despite SETI scans yielding silence.

Now anything is possible. It could be remotely possible that it is an abandoned mother ship left behind billions of years ago.  Or perhaps it did travel faster than light but slowed down to a sneaky, but steady crawl when it entered our system.

Overall Occam’s razor favors it is a natural made comet. I would give odds of around 99% in this direction.
