Scientists' research warns humanity may be facing 'vortex of death' (Solar Doom)

[Dr. Sheldon Cooper]

Professor Raymond Wheeler, from the University of Kansas, at first almost stumbled into the frightening data. The connection was initially discovered by noted Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevsky during 1915: solar storms trigger conflict, wars and death. A vortex of death.

Chizhevsky found after intense research that the rise and fall of solar activity—interacting with the earth's magnetic field—causes mass changes in human's perspective's, moods, emotions and behavioral patterns. All are affected by sunspots and solar flares.

Building upon the Russian scholar's research, Wheeler applied a numerically weighted ranking system during the 1930s to separate wars and even individual battles assessing them on length and severity.

He then correlated the impressive data he'd amassed with the 11-year sunspot cycle.

The results were revealing…and horrifying.

When the 11-year solar cycle peaked, so did human unrest, uprisings, rebellions, revolutions and all-out wars between nations. It was almost as if the intense magnetic upswing directly affected the human brain and drove Mankind into deadly emotional tantrums and frenzied killing sprees.

Assaults skyrocket. Murders increase. And bloody wars and rebellions erupt with a fury across the face of the globe.

Wheeler's research revealed the pattern spanned human history as far back as 2,500 years.

What I have trouble reconciling is making access to birth control for the criminal, the mentally enfeebled and the permanently dioriented hard to get and then making abortion even harder to get. While I don’t favor abortion, the whole sequence just does not make sense to me. It seems to me that encouraging birth control would reduce the left wing vote considerably.

That would probably qualify, eh? :’)

There’s a longer cycle (of sorts, as with all natural “cycles” it’s about as regular and scientific as biorhythms) involving the Sun with Jupiter and Saturn, and it has been said to correspond with sunspot activity.

Jupiter — 4332 day year (IOW, Earth days used to measure the sidereal year)
Saturn — 10,759 day year

[snip] The eight planets (without Pluto, and not counting the sun) would align within 1 degree, about once every 34 thousand billion years. That’s over 2000 times older than the age of the universe. Calculations have been carried out for 10 million years into the past and future, and the planets have never lined up and never will. [/snip]
