Wormholes Generate New Kind of Quantum Anticentrifugal ForceQuantum particles entering a wormhole may experience an entirely new class of forceTechnology Review / arXiv blog Friday, June 12, 2009www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23660/There is a gangrenous rot at the heart of modern physics. The two most successful pillars of modern physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are at loggerheads, and something has to give. There is no clearer demonstration of this than in the study of quantum mechanics in curved spaces. Quantum mechanics works well in the flat Euclidian space in which we appear to live, but nobody knows how it fares in the curved space that general relativity predicts. And surprisingly, physicists have spent little time bothering to find out.But today, Rossen Dandolo from the Universite de Cergy-Pontoise, in France, takes a stab at nailing the behavior of quantum particles in the highly curved geometry of a wormhole. His starting point is the Heisenburg Uncertainty principle, which states that you cannot know a particle's location in space and its momentum at the same time. It is only possible to measure one or the other with any degree of certainty. Dandolo points out that if space is stretched so that the uncertainty in position is greater than it would otherwise be in a flat space, then the uncertainty in momentum must be less. And that means the energy of the particle must be lower too. So a highly curved region of space must act like a potential well, pulling quantum particles toward it (since they'll naturally move to the region with the lowest energy). Dandolo calls this the quantum anticentrifugal force. A similar effect has been found for certain quantum particles in two-dimensional space, one of a number of strange forces that arise when you fiddle with the space. These forces are called quantum fictitious forces because they vary according to the dimensions of space, and so can't arise in the real space in which the universe is embedded (at least that's how the thinking goes). But that raises another question: what exactly is the space in which the universe is embedded? There's no consensus on that, and until there is, quantum physics and general relativity will continue to live in a twilight world of theoretical ambiguity where quantum forces may or may not be fictional.

Tidal Limits to Planetary HabitabilityarXiv [v1] Tue, 9 Jun 2009 19:59:37 GMTarxiv.org/abs/0906.1785AbstractThe habitable zones of main sequence stars have traditionally been defined as the range of orbits that intercept the appropriate amount of stellar flux to permit surface water on a planet. Terrestrial exoplanets discovered to orbit M stars in these zones, which are close-in due to decreased stellar luminosity, may also undergo significant tidal heating. Tidal heating may span a wide range for terrestrial exoplanets and may significantly affect conditions near the surface. For example, if heating rates on an exoplanet are near or greater than that on Io (where tides drive volcanism that resurface the planet at least every 1 Myr) and produce similar surface conditions, then the development of life seems unlikely. On the other hand, if the tidal heating rate is less than the minimum to initiate plate tectonics, then CO 2 may not be recycled through subduction, leading to a runaway greenhouse that sterilizes the planet. These two cases represent potential boundaries to habitability and are presented along with the range of the traditional habitable zone for main sequence, low-mass stars. We propose a revised habitable zone that incorporates both stellar insolation and tidal heating. We apply these criteria to GJ 581 d and find that it is in the traditional habitable zone, but its tidal heating alone may be insufficient for plate tectonics.

Hi Everyone ..
By now you should all be able to see the new look board, which is somehow strangely familiar ?
This is part of the refurbished Golden Thread ..
Over the next few days .. I, and and my Co Admin .. Twowhom, and Galaxygirl, will define the new membership application guidelines and will post the email address here.
There will be a few new rules .. ( we like to keep things simple and streamlined )
One of them is that NO NEW THREADS be started without approval from Admin .
A private section for members will password protected.
The same rule of discretion as at EDO applies here, and should that be breached your membership will be deleted .
Unfortunately, there a some folks who like to infiltrate and post contents at another forum, and we're doing our best to protect our members from the negative and ugly attacks, by providing an intimate setting where the members can speak freely without fear of reprisal.
Just to clear up any misinformation or misunderstandings .. The accounts that have been deleted were accounts that had ZERO postings, there were over a hundred in total. Here at the Golden Thread .. we value QUALITY over QUANTITY ;D
Some time ago, I did post in the news section that if you have an account and had NOT posted after a reasonable period of time .. that account would be deleted.
This forum will continue to support and feature Dan and Marci's research, and Angel Eagles works.
I would like to take this opportunity to say just how much I appreciate the input and efforts of all our wonderful members here.
This forum would be nothing without your participation, and good vibes.
Best wishes to you all
Nodstar*[/size]

Thank You Noddie, it looks great! I'm sure this will always be the nicest place to come and meet people from all over the world! I urge everyone to go to David Wilc o c k 's website www.divinecosmos.com !! He made a new post, and in my opinion it's really important! Small excerpt: "I find it unfortunate how many people are still being taken in by the virulently negative material in the conspiracy media. For the record, I do not consider Obama a saint nor a savior. I consider him the first President since Kennedy who is actually doing his job and trying to make things better for our planet. As I’ve said before, the conspiracy media is saturated with propaganda to an unheard-of extreme. I have undeniable proof of this which I have not yet released, saving it for the right time, but I have decided that I will do so within a very short timeframe after returning from Canada — not more than two weeks. This proof shows how it’s done, the enormous money being spent on it, what they write, who does it, and includes a whistleblower statement from someone who was actually hired on one of these jobs during the election. It is shocking." divinecosmos.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=478&Itemid=70

Good morning all!!! I'm diggin' the new forum and also many good tidings and prayers go out to Nodstar, Towhorn and GalaxyGirl as they assume their responsibilities with this new gig. I'm coming in a bit late with commentary on the Fulford/ Zagami deal. I read Fulfords blog and from what it seems to me--I think Zagami may have been the 33rd Degree that was visiting Fulfords group in Japan. Then, so it seems, Mr. Fulford traveled to Italy to continue meetings with the group Zagami represents. I find the whole thing fascinating and I approach the information they released in their video with cautious optimism. Mr. Zagami certainly has been controversial but I am willing to consider that he might be leaning towards a service to others type path. Their actions will speak for their intentions and it seemed to me in the video that Mr. Fulford was leaning towards that viewpoint. Anybody else sense his body launguage? Seemed kinda like ...cautious, a bit like "OK MR ZAGAMI...we will see" And indeed we will!

Hmmm - the décor is very familiar - like 'coming home' ;D Well done Nod and 'crewe'. Avid x Avid: I did the same thing. I had to double check the URL address to see if I went to the correct site, since I haven't yet deleted the original EDO site from my fav. list. This site is just above it, so I just pointed and clicked, and volia, deja-vu.
It does feel more like home and less like being in a neighbor's house.
The sun is out, and it is warm, and the veg and flower gardens need to be weeded. Have a blessed day all.

Coral reefs - people are 'gardening and replanting' www.coralcoe.org.au/news_stories/manado.html"A region harbouring more than half the world’s coral reefs is at risk of “a major environmental and human catastrophe” a report released by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) at the World Ocean Conference in Manado, Indonesia, today has warned.
The report entitled “The Coral Triangle and Climate Change: Ecosystems, People and Societies at Risk” was compiled from the research of 20 of the world’s leading coral reef scientists and proposes nine measures for action which it describes as urgent.
Its release coincides with the decision of the six Coral Triangle nations – Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and the Solomon Islands – to move ahead with the world’s largest transboundary network of marine protected areas.
Professor Terry Hughes from James Cook University, Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS), says: "The Coral Triangle Initiative recognizes that the status quo is not an option for the future. All countries are seeking to radically improve how coral reefs are managed, so that these critical natural resources can sustain future human development”.
The Coral Triangle covers 1 per cent of the earth's surface yet contains the richest marine ecosystems on the planet. It is home to 53 per cent of the world's coral reefs, including over 80 per cent of all reef-building coral species and at least 3000 species of fish. It is the world epicentre for the biodiversity of not only corals and fish, but many other marine organisms.
At the same time it supports more than 100 million people working as fishers, foragers, in tourism and other marine based industries. Its reefs and mangroves help cleanse water and protect coastal regions from storm damage.
“Coastal ecosystems throughout the Coral Triangle are being severely threatened by the activities of humans,” the WWF study says “These (include) local threats such as destructive fishing, deteriorating water quality, over-exploitation of key marine species, and the direct devastation of coastal ecosystems through unsustainable coastal development.
Contributing author to the Report, Professor Garry Russ of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies says: "There is clear evidence that no-take areas, supported by local communities, are powerful tools for re-building depleted fish stocks. In the Philippines for example, community-based no-take areas support a lucrative tourism industry, and provide an alternative source of employment for fishers." "Healthy ecosystems support vibrant fisheries, while fish in turn support the functioning of the entire ecosystem. Remove too many fish, especially those that control blooms of seaweed, and the entire ecosystem is more vulnerable to threats such as climate change,” says Professor Hughes today in Manado.
The nine urgent measures proposed by the WWF report include:
Taking urgent steps to reverse the decline in health of coastal ecosystems Reviewing the adequacy of local and national conservation measures in the light of climate change Taking greater steps to engage coastal communities and stakeholders in protecting their reefs Building the capacity of reef managers to implement necessary changes in reef and fisheries management. Another contributor to the WWF report, CoECRS researcher Dr Josh Cinner, adds: "Fisheries managers need a diverse toolbox to meet the new challenges of climate change. Managing how fishers fish, the gear they use, can make a huge difference to the health of the coral ecosystem.”Blimey - colours must change coz of background!!! ;D Today I watched a documentary on how 'coral gardening' is replenishing reefs, and therefore the fishes/sea-life. I can't find it on the web anywhere.... It showed racks of colourful coral being reinstated via tiny 'concrete' discs. The revitalised reefs are burgeoning with colour and life

US House to debate Ron Paul’s ‘Audit the Fed’ bill14-06-2009 | WWW.NIBURU.NL | STEPHEN C. WEBSTER Raw Story June 11, 2009 After months of activism and lobbying by Congressman Ron Paul’s supporters, House Resolution 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, will move out of committee to be debated by the full House of Representatives. In a show of cross-party unity, Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich became the bill’s 218th co-sponsor, pushing it over the threshold for debate in Congress. The bill, which achieved its 222nd co-sponsorship on Thursday, has been in consideration by the House Financial Services Committee since Feb. 26. Congressman Kucinich, along with Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NY), announced Tuesday that the House Financial Services Committee will subpoena the Federal Reserve to ascertain the details of the Fed’s agreements with Bank of America in the institution’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch. “The full committee and Domestic Policy Subcommittee, under the leadership of Chairman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), have been investigating the circumstances surrounding the federal government’s bailout of the Bank of America-Merrill Lynch transaction,” Kucinich’s office noted in a Tuesday release. “Specific documents subpoenaed include emails, notes of conversations and other documents.” While the bill enjoys some Democratic supporters, the vast majority of H.R. 1207 co-sponsors are Republican. “The tremendous grass-roots and bipartisan support in Congress for HR 1207 is an indicator of how mainstream America is fed up with Fed secrecy,” said Congressman Paul in a Thursday media advisory. “I look forward to this issue receiving greater public exposure.” Though the move from committee to full House is sure to hearten supporters, the Senate also has pending before it a bill which would have originally given Congress greater oversight of the Federal Reserve. But in its present form, notes Huffington Post writer Ryan Grim, a recent, every-so-slight modification essentially ‘neutered’ the bill. “Thanks to an overlooked document posted on the website of Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the top ranking Republican on the Finance Committee, voters can virtually watch the water being dumped into the brew that Grassley had hoped to force the Fed to drink,” he wrote. “On page five of Grassley’s amendment, he intends to give the Comptroller General of the Government Accountability Office power to audit “any action taken by the Board under…the third undesignated paragraph of section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act” — which would be almost everything that it has done on an emergency basis to address the financial crisis, encompassing its massive expansion of opaque buying and lending.” Grim adds: “Handwritten into the margins, however, is the amendment that watered it down: ‘with respect to a single and specific partnership or corporation.’ With that qualification, the Senate severely limited the scope of the oversight.” Congressman Paul, in defense of his proposal to audit the bank which controls America’s currency, argues not just for transparency. He wants to close it down. “Detractors have [...] argued that the Fed must remain immune from the political process, and that that more congressional oversight would distort their very important decisions,” Paul wrote in an editorial titled, 'Audit the Fed, Then End It!' “On the contrary, the Federal Reserve is already heavily entrenched in the political process, as the Fed chairman is a political appointee. High-level officials routinely make the rounds between positions at the Fed, member banks, Treasury and back again, taking care of friends and each other along the way.” He continued: “As far as the foolishness of placing complex monetary policy decisions in the hands of politicians – I couldn’t agree more. No politician or central banker, no matter how brilliant, is smart enough to know more than the market itself. The failure of central economic planning has been witnessed over and over. It is frankly beyond me why we ever agreed to try it again. “To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have. They have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability. Thus the loudest arguments against greater transparency are likely to come from those friends, and understandably so.” ;-))

US House to debate Ron Paul’s ‘Audit the Fed’ billedited for length ;-)) Please please let the best people look at their consciences and sort this vile mess out, and give back to those who've been robbed and especially to those who've been made homeless. They MUST REALISE now that what goes around comes around/kharma - call it what you will but morality and care of humanity MUST come first.

www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article6493481.eceOceans charge up new theory of magnetismA radical new idea may revolutionise our understanding of one of the most vital forces on Earth Jonathan Leake Earth's magnetic field, long thought to be generated by molten metals swirling around its core, may instead be produced by ocean currents, according to controversial new research published this week. It suggests that the movements of such volumes of salt water around the world have been seriously underestimated by scientists as a source of magnetism. If proven, the research would revolutionise geophysics, the study of the Earth’s physical properties and behaviour, in which the idea that magnetism originates in a molten core is a central tenet. Earth’s magnetic field is vital for life, extending tens of thousands of miles into space and protecting the planet against radiation that would otherwise burn away the atmosphere and oceans. RELATED LINKS Modern Noah's Ark needed to save coral reefsEarth’s gravity may lure deadly asteroid However, its origin was a mystery until early last century when Albert Einstein said understanding the phenomenon was one of science’s most important tasks. This provoked a debate which concluded with scientists agreeing that magnetism must originate in the Earth’s core. “Everyone accepted this, but in reality there has never been any proof,” said Gregory Ryskin, associate professor of chemical and biological engineering at Northwestern University in Illinois. “It is just an idea we have accepted for a long time without questioning it enough.” His research suggests that Earth’s magnetism is actually linked to ocean movements. The salt in seawater allows it to conduct electricity, meaning it generates electrical and magnetic fields as it moves. The findings, published by Britain’s Institute of Physics’s New Journal of Physics, will cause a fierce scientific debate. Existing theories explain Earth’s magnetism by suggesting that the centre of the planet comprises a white-hot solid iron ball about 1,500 miles in diameter, surrounded by an outer shell of liquid metal a further 1,400 miles thick. As the liquid iron in that shell is heated by the inner core it becomes less dense and rises upwards, to be replaced by cooler material from above. The resulting swirls of molten metal create electric currents that in turn produce the planet’s magnetic field, the conventional theory suggests. The big problem with this idea is that it is almost impossible to obtain experimental evidence because the Earth’s core is so inaccessible. Indirect approaches, such as computer modelling, have thrown up many inconsistencies. Ryskin approached the problem differently, by looking at the way Earth’s magnetic field undergoes constant changes, growing stronger in some regions and weaker in others. This phenomenon, known as variation, also sees gradual shifts in the locations of the north and south magnetic poles. Scientists have always linked variation with turbulence in the outer core, but Ryskin suggests it actually correlates with changes in ocean circulation. In the north Atlantic, for example, changes in the strength of currents were matched by sharp changes in magnetic fields. One idea is that changes in ocean circulation may explain the curious reversals shown by Earth’s magnetic field, in which the north and south magnetic poles suddenly flip over. This last happened 780,000 years ago. This could also be linked to tectonic plate movements that have shifted the world’s land masses around the globe, forcing ocean currents to adopt entirely new routes. If Ryskin is right, then climate change, predicted to alter the strength and course of ocean currents, could also alter the planet's magnetic field. Ryskin emphasises that such suggestions need much more research, but some other physicists have been quick to recognise its implications. Raymond Shaw, professor of atmospheric physics at Michigan Technological University, said it could make “the ruling paradigm of geophysics irrelevant”. Others are sceptical. Andrew Jackson, professor of geophysics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, Switzerland, and an expert in planetary magnetism, said the magnetic fields generated by moving seawater would be thousands of times smaller than what is observed. “I think the calculations are wrong,” he said. Kathy Whaler, professor of geophysics at Edinburgh University, would not comment directly on Ryskin’s work as she had not read it. However, she said the idea that the Earth’s molten core produced its magnetic field was “well founded”. She said: “We know from seismology what the Earth’s structure is, and that it is likely to contain molten iron at high temperatures flowing around a solid core.” For more information go to www.iop.org/News/news_35352.html / physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/39469/ / www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/1367-2630/11/6/063015

In a Lurch Toward the Center, Netanyahu Backs Palestinian State Time.com By Nina Burleigh / JerusalemIf the 300,000 West Bank settlers identified by the American President as an obstacle to Middle East peace were expecting Bibi Netanyahu to support their cherished dream of an Israel stretching from the Jordan to the Mediterranean sea, they were disappointed on Sunday night. The right wing leader instead took a sharp and unexpected lurch to the center and said he'd support a two-state solution, meaning something called Palestine is a step closer to being inked onto their 3,000-year-old Biblical map. To his credit, clench-jawed Netanyahu could have used the re-election of Israel's favorite bogeyman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran to raise the usual security alarms and resort to time-tested fear-mongering. But in his speech, he mentioned Iran only briefly. In the Middle East, change is measured in centuries and dusty diplomatic phrases from talks 10 and 15 years back remain verbal screens for inaction long after the hopes they represent have been abandoned and the men who crafted them have retired to Cambridge and Palo Alto. For a hawk like Netanyahu to plainly say he supports a separate Palestine has the potential to redraw the political map, if not the geographical one. On the other hand, the Israeli Prime Minister and everyone else in his country know that the Palestinian territory available for any second state is now so jigsawed up with armed Jewish settlements, checkpoints and exclusionary bypass roads that it would require the deranged precision of an obsessive-compulsive cartographer with Asperger's Syndrome to sort out what author Gershom Gorenberg has called "an artificially created Bosnia." For the right, the speech could have been much worse. Ever since U.S. President Barack Obama told the Israelis to freeze the settlements - and meant it, as opposed to previous American administrations that barked but never bit on that subject - the right has been worried that Netanyahu might cave. In fact, Netanyahu left himself familiar wiggle room on settlements too, saying the Israeli government would freeze settlements but allow room for natural growth (Translation: ultra-religious families of eight should not feel the need to restrain their rate of reproduction). The Freeze talk has historically been meaningless blather in Israel. The government "froze" the settlements in 2003, but has surreptitiously supported building through a network of agencies, so that building approval has increased at a rate of 40% between 2007 and 2008 alone, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli organization suing to stop outpost settlements. So much building has happened since the mid-1990s that the West Bank resembles a Jackson Pollock drip painting of Jewish and Arab lands, connected and disconnected by bypass roads and cement blocks. The old "Green Line" border, now morphing into a wall, has literally doubled in size to account for myriad new thrusts into, twists around and enclosures of Arab lands. (See a video about Israel's lonesome doves.) Just so you don't get too much of your hopes up, Netanyahu's support of a two-state solution comes with conditions that Palestinians have never accepted before and have shown no signs of accepting now. He plainly urged the Palestinians to accept Israel. "We need courage and sincerity not only on the Israeli side: we need the Palestinian leadership to rise and say, simply 'We have had enough of this conflict. We recognize the right of the Jewish People to a state its own in this Land. We will live side by side in true peace.'" ....... ....... He also explicitly denied Palestinians their greatest dream: the right of some 5 million Palestinian refugees to return to what is now Israel. "Justice and logic dictates that the problem of the Palestinian refugees must be solved outside the borders of the State of Israel. There is broad national agreement on this," he said, to thunderous applause from a stage at Bar Ilan University. He also reiterated Israel's intention to keep a grip on Jerusalem, which the Palestinians also want as their capital. The Palestinian reaction was unsurprising. Said Palestinian Chief Negotiator Saib Arekat: "In a thousand years no Palestinian leader will accept this." ....... ....... In the hours after the speech, the right called Netanyahu's acceptance of a two-state solution as a sign of Bibi's Obama-ization. "It was a brilliant speech but Netanhayhu surrendered to American pressure. We will act with all our power against a Palestinian state," said Dany Danon, a Likud party leader. The hard-line Prime Minister didn't seem eager to deny his common ground with Obama. "I share the President of the U.S.A.'s desire to bring about a new era of reconciliation in our region," Netanyahu said. In the extreme outposts where only generators keep the black desert night at bay, settlers who don't watch much television inside their spare trailers will be digesting the bad news over the next hours and days. Netanyahu will have them to contend with beginning Monday. - With reporting by Aaron J.
