A Closer Look at the Scientific Examination of Comets

Most people do not realize that the comet tail sweeps around the Sun like the spoke of a wheel and actually precedes the nucleus when the comet is receding away from the Sun...

(SAN DIEGO) - In a report from London dated Dec. 19, 2011 titled, “Comet Lovejoy Just Misses the Sun”, the scientists reported:

“Newly discovered comet, Lovejoy, defied all odds when it survived a hellish journey through the Sun’s corona, where temperatures soar to staggering 1.1 million C.

Radiated Heat Versus Radiated Energy

Now that the scientists can very clearly see the magnetic loops on the Sun and recognize their importance, many mysteries of Earth and the universe will be resolved.

(SAN DIEGO) - My concept is that the heat and energy of the Sun is the result of the tremendous external magnetic field of the Sun.

It is absolutely impossible for an internal 20 million degree internal heat source of any kind to radiate a 3 million degree temperature to the corona and leave a relatively cool 10,000 degree surface of the Sun between these two awesome temperature extremes.

Resolving Space Puzzles

The scientists have been trying to gather their imaginary particles from the auroras, the comets, and the rings of Saturn and the plumes of Enceladus for decades without success.

(SAN DIEGO) - I received a snail mail letter from Bob Dale, a local meteorologist with KCST-TV dated Jan. 4, 1998.

He wrote: "I was grinning from ear to ear when I read the article about finally solving the riddle of the Sun being hotter on the outside! Ha! You told me about that years ago."

Iran military downs US spy drone

A senior Iranian military official says Iran's Army has downed a remote-controlled reconnaissance drone operated by the US military in the eastern part of the country.

(TEHRAN Press TV) - The informed source said on Sunday that the Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit successfully targeted the US-built RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft after it crossed into Iranian airspace over the border with neighboring Afghanistan.

He added that the US reconnaissance drone has been seized with minimum damage.

Report Calls Security at Israel`s Nuclear Reactor `Severely Deficient`

Israel refuses to acknowledge possessing an arsenal of nuclear weapons as part of an official policy of "nuclear ambiguity."

(JERUSALEM Xinhua) - Security arrangements at the Dimona nuclear reactor have been "severely deficient" for years, making Israel's super-secret desert facility vulnerable to a breach, the Israel Hayom daily reported Tuesday.

Several inspections of the site, conducted by the Israeli army' s Home Front Command, determined that its ground security units lack the means to provide adequate protection from potential attacks, the report said.

Universal Answers in Static Electricity and a Swirling Magnetic Fields

General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in a single package? 'The Elegant Universe; Einstein's Dream' explores and misses, some of the largest questions.

(SAN DIEGO) - A 9 Nov. 2011 KPBS program copyrighted in 2002 titled “The Elegant Universe; Einstein’s Dream”, it started with: “Actually, no one can figure out how gravity operates when you get down to the size of atoms and subatomic particles.

That is, no one can figure out how to put general relativity and quantum mechanics together into one package.

Steve Jobs, Occupy Wall Street, and Us

That is the secret the Occupy Wall Street crowd does not know. by

(OCEANSIDE, Calif.) - Apparently the greatest industrialist in American history was not always the nicest guy. He yelled at people. He insisted they do it his way. He fired them if they did not. Sometimes he fired them if they did.

Steve Jobs set out to change the world though one simple goal: Perfection. He had to settle for excellence. He inspired a lot of people along the way.

Operation Ghost Click International Cyber Ring That Infected Millions of Computers Dismantled

DNSChanger was used to redirect unsuspecting users to rogue servers controlled by the cyber thieves, allowing them to manipulate users’ web activity.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Six Estonian nationals have been arrested and charged with running a sophisticated Internet fraud ring that infected millions of computers worldwide with a virus and enabled the thieves to manipulate the multi-billion-dollar Internet advertising industry.

Users of infected machines were unaware that their computers had been compromised—or that the malicious software rendered their machines vulnerable to a host of other viruses.

KPBS Nova program The Fabric of the Cosmos

“... space did not want to be compressed, it wanted to push the universe apart” - Physicist Adam Riess, John Hopkins University

(SAN DIEGO) - On Nov. 2, 2011 KPBS broadcast a program titled “The Fabric of the Cosmos; what is space?”

Balfour`s Apartheid Legacy

Balfour and his clueless pals in the corridors of British power clearly had no idea of the true purpose and base methods of Zionism.

(LONDON) - Arthur Balfour's infamous "Declaration" was written 94 years ago this week. Palestinians, of course, don’t need reminding.

And to mark the anniversary Israel ordered its warships to carry out yet another act of piracy on peaceful, innocent shipping carrying humanitarian relief to the imprisoned people of Gaza.
