Thoughts, opinions, links of interest???

We are like little bugs crawling on a huge surface. We think because we have a better understanding of the surface and because all we have known over the centuries has been consistent - that we have it all figured out and that everything will continue as it always has.

Under the surface is the evidence of activity beyond our control and with this Super Mega Volcanoes can change the global environment and adversely affect all life. Solar Flares from the sun could easily destroy all satelites and essentially disrupt all means of electronic communications. That means the Markets, Banks, Hospitals, and everything grind to a halt and we simply deal with whatever happens. The center of our Milky Way has a power beyond all the stars and planets and everything contained within our galaxy. In 2012 we will have the honor of witnessing its power as never before.

I'd say in comparison to the Universe and the life it contains that the Markets are meaningless. When everything changes unexpectantly on a magnitude that brings all the bugs crawling on the surface on a totally even level and money itself no longer has any worth - then who knows what will happen?

I know I've never been happier - more content - and more full of promise and hope for the future.

That's pretty cool! That's what one of my delightful receptionist's says...

...except she doesn't know me as SG.


Only the priviledged few on this site know me for who I really am.


Ahhhh -- what you're describing is ultimately what I hope it's like someday when we can see the stars expand and explode and be right in midst of everything. Ahhhhhhh yes .... my hope and dream.


Well it's off to lunch.

Hey- the center of our Milky Way is good, but I didn't think it was THAT good...

Power companies prepare as solar storms set to hit Earth


(Reuters) - Three large explosions from the Sun over the past few days have prompted U.S. government scientists to caution users of satellite, telecommunications and electric equipment to prepare for possible disruptions over the next few days.

"The magnetic storm that is soon to develop probably will be in the moderate to strong level," said Joseph Kunches, a space weather scientist at the Space Weather Prediction Center, a division of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).


He said solar storms this week could affect communications and global positioning system (GPS) satellites and might even produce an aurora visible as far south as Minnesota and Wisconsin.
