  • Plasma Tubes In The Sky Science Validates Hinduism

    Fourteen levels of Existence are described in the Hindu Texts,especially in the Puranas.

    I am providing excerpt towards the close of the Post.

    The Devas, Divine Beings and the Asuras, the wicked ones used to travel along these.

    The Asuras are placed in the Heavens along with the Devas while the Rakshasas were reported to be living in the nether world.

    For the difference between Rakshas and Asuras please read my posts on these.

    These Asuras and Devas frequent the earth.

    Some of them have their abodes in the Earth.

    While they travel, they go through very high temperatures in these areas and they had adequate preparations to counter this.

    The measures taken by them is not clear in the physical level and it looks as though they were involved in some sort of mental conditioning.

    Let me check more and share

    One such was built by Maya, the Divine architect in the Vindhya Mountains, which was a Wormhole.

    Hanuman, while searching for Sita encountered this and a detailed description is found in the Kishkinda Kanda of The Ramayana.

     

    ”

    There Hanuman and others  became disoriented .

    They found, inside the cave verdant flowers and spring, Swans leaving with drenched bodies.

    ‘On entering the Cave, they the monkeys beheld choicest mansions everywhere made out of gold and silver, some with golden and some with silver domes, while some with golden and some with silver multi-stories, but all are studded with lapis gems with golden windows covered with laceworks of pearls. They have also seen everywhere flowered and fruited trees that are similar in shine to red corals and rubies, and golden honeybees, as well as honeys.

    They beheld everywhere diverse and capacious beds and seats that are amazingly crafted with gemstones and gold, and stacks of utensils made of gold, silver and bell metal. They saw the stockpiles of heavenly aloe vera substances and sandalwood sticks and depurated eatables, tubers and fruits. They have also seen top-grade soft drinks, luscious honeys, heaps of finest quality clothing, exotic blankets and sheaves of deerskins. Vanara-s have also observed mounds of undefiled gold stockpiled here and there glowing with the glow of ritual fire’

    Hanuman also noted that the Time was lapsing.

    Remembering that the deadline given by Sugreeva was nearing, He requested the Lady Maya, Swayam Prabha, to deliver all the Vanaras from the Pit.

    ‘She obliged.

    Ramayana states,

    ‘Monkeys enter Riksha cavity, an unsightly and gloomy one, during their search in southern direction. While groping in that dark they loose time set by Sugreeva. Finally, they see luminosity and extraordinarily built mansions, woodlands, trees and lakes. Thereupon they catch sight of an elderly sainted lady and they all approach her asking after the legend of that cavity.

    And the Puranas describe these places as Tubular Structure.

    The Fourteen worlds.

     

    ‘

    Amongst the 14 worlds thus mentioned, the 7th one viz. Bhu-loka is  Earth..

    ‘Bhu’ means ‘Earth’ and ‘loka’ means the surface of planet Earth, where we live.

    2.Bhuvar Loka.

    Vishnu Purana: Chapter 7:- The region that extends from the earth to the sun, in which the Siddhas and other celestial beings move, is the atmospheric sphere (Bhuvar Loka), which also I have described.

     

    Bhuvar-loka is identified with Earth’s atmosphere and sometimes with the space which is in the immediate neighborhood of Earth.

     

     

    In other words Bhuvarloka is the near-Earth space including Earth’s atmosphere.

     

    This is the region were all the aircrafts fly and where all the artificial-satellites and space-stations that orbit around the Earth are situated.

     

    This region can be equated to the Geospace, the space dominated by Earth’s magnetic field.

     

     

    3.Suvar Loka.

     

    Vishnu Purana: Chapter 7:- The interval between the sun and Dhruva, extending fourteen hundred thousand leagues, is called by those who are acquainted with the system of the universe the heavenly sphere (Suvar Loka)

    Suvar-loka (alternatively Swar-loka) is beyond Bhuvarloka.

    Some description makes it a planet inhabited by the Devaswith their king Indra.

    Some references make it equivalent to the Swarga

    Some Puranic references to equate Suvarloka to the Solar System.

    As per these the Suvar loka is consisted of nine sub divisions or sectors called….

    Hindu Purans, Ramayana and Mahabharata speak of  traveling in the sky by Beings through tube likee structure.

    Now Astronomers have found that there ae tube like structures above us in the Iona sphere and in between the Galaxies/Stars.

    Report.

    TORONTO, ON [1 June 2015] – By observing galaxies billions of light-years away, a team of astronomers has detected tube-like structures mere hundreds of kilometres above the Earth’s surface.

    “For over 60 years, scientists believed these structures existed but by imaging them for the first time, we’ve provided visual evidence that they are really there,” said Cleo Loi of the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO) at the University of Sydney and lead author of a paper published in Geophysical Research Letters last week.

    The astronomers—including Prof. Bryan Gaensler, former director of CAASTRO and the current director of the Dunlap Institute at the University of Toronto—made their observations with the Murchison Widefield Array. The MWA is a radio telescope in Western Australia designed to observe the early Universe and distant galaxies, as well as stars and nebulae within our own Milky Way Galaxy.

    As light from a galaxy passes through layers in the Earth’s magnetosphere, the light’s path—and hence the galaxy’s apparent position—is altered by variations in density in the layers. The effect is like looking up from the bottom of a swimming pool at the distortions caused by waves on the surface.

    Mapping the variations in the positions of multiple radio sources over the course of a night revealed the shape and dimensions of the tube structures. As well, by exploiting the MWA’s rapid “snapshot” capabilities, Loi and her colleagues created a movie—effectively capturing the real-time motions of the tubes.

    According to Gaensler, “We were trying to understand if the motions of the ionosphere were random or had a pattern, both to see if the MWA could be used to study the ionosphere, and also to be able to correct for its effect and study the sources behind it.”

    In addition, the astronomers made their observations using the east and west halves of the MWA’s array of antennas as separate instruments. “This is like turning the telescope into a pair of eyes, and by doing that we were able to probe the 3D nature of these structures and watch them move around,” said Loi.

  • Planet That Should Not Be,IS

    Flights of Fancy, this is what I call about the Modern Astronomical Theories, and even Astrophysics.

    Beyond Solar System Planet
    Plant Outside Solar System

    It has been believed that ,in Science, Scientists observe some phenomenon, find some more similar phenomenon, formulate a Theory, check with all available material and verify the Theory and announce it.

    Not any more!

    People find something which they do not understand yet, they publish it as an Axiom!

    Be it drinking Coffee, Cancer,Black holes!

    One such is the finding of a Planet that has been found by the Hubble telescope.

    With the present Laws of Astrophysics and Physics, it should not be there.there, it should not Exist.

    But IT IS!

    Story:

    TW Hydrae, a star located about 176 light years away, is one of the closest things in the universe we have to a time machine. That’s because it’s only about 8 million years old, and its believed to look a lot like what our own Solar System looked like in the first few million years of its existence. By studying TW Hydrae, astronomers can learn more about the history of our own Sun.

    Recently, while observing this star, the Hubble Telescope found something pretty amazing – a gap in the star’s protoplanetary disk. The disk, which was discovered a few years ago, is an accretion of large amounts of material that are expected to coalesce into a planet over the course of time. The most likely reason why such a gap would exist would be theformation of the planet. As the planet traveled around the star, its gravity would either attract or push the disk material out of its way. Such a planet would be somewhere in between 6 to 28 times more massive than Earth.

    If the gap really is where a planet is located, then that planet is 7.5 billion miles from its star. That’s about twice as far as Pluto’s distance from our own Sun, making this the planet that is furthest from its parent star that we know of.

    Here’s the real kicker about this planet, though: if it’s there, then current astronomical theories about how planets form are at least partially wrong. Planets are expected to form slowly over time, accumulating more and more rock and dust as it travels through the protoplanetary disk. Because planets like this are so far out from their stars, their orbits are slower and there is less material available to form a planet. Given that, it should take about 200 million years for that planet to have formed – way more years than TW Hydrae has been around.

  • 3 D Image of Dark Matter First Ever. Video.

    Astronomers have taken their first 3D look at a gigantic filament of dark matter, an invisible cosmic structure that can only be detected by its gravitational effects it has on its surroundings.

    The universe is thought to be structured like a tangled web, with long strings of mostly dark matterintersecting at giant galaxy clusters. Since dark matter cannot be seen directly, these filaments are difficult to observe. But using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have managed to probe one of the elusive cosmic strands in 3D.

  • Latest NASA Spitzer Measure on Expanding Universe.Videos.

    Those who follow the Theory of Relativity may be aware of the Expanding universe, that is The universe is expanding every second, with no boundary!

    Hubble developed a system to calculate the expansion and this has been improved upon by The Spitzer Space Telescope of NASA.

    Hubble used Long Infra Red Wave Length for measurement of the Expanding Universe.

    By using the same procedure the Spitzer has made out calculations.

    The expansion rate is mind-boggling.

    If one were to take the factor of Time, one is aghast! (please read my post on Time,A Non Linear Theory)

    “Astronomers using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have announced the most precise measurement yet of the Hubble constant, or the rate at which our universe is stretching apart.

    The Hubble constant is named after the astronomer Edwin P. Hubble, who astonished the world in the 1920s by confirming our universe has been expanding since it exploded into being 13.7 billion years ago. In the late 1990s, astronomers discovered the expansion is accelerating, or speeding up over time. Determining the expansion rate is critical for understanding the age and size of the universe.

    Unlike NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, which views the cosmos in visible light, Spitzer took advantage of long-wavelength infrared light to make its new measurement. It improves by a factor of 3 on a similar, seminal study from the Hubble telescope and brings the uncertainty down to 3 percent, a giant leap in accuracy for cosmological measurements. The newly refined value for the Hubble constant is 74.3 ± 2.1 kilometers per second per megaparsec. A megaparsec is roughly 3 million light-years.

    “Spitzer is yet again doing science beyond what it was designed to do,” said project scientist Michael Werner at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. Werner has worked on the mission since its early concept phase more than 30 years ago. “First, Spitzer surprised us with its pioneering ability to study exoplanet atmospheres,” said Werner, “and now, in the mission’s later years, it has become a valuable cosmology tool.”

    In addition, the findings were combined with published data from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe to obtain an independent measurement of dark energy, one of the greatest mysteries of our cosmos. Dark energy is thought to be winning a battle against gravity, pulling the fabric of the universe apart. Research based on this acceleration garnered researchers the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics.

    “This is a huge puzzle,” said study lead author Wendy Freedman of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Pasadena. “It’s exciting that we were able to use Spitzer to tackle fundamental problems in cosmology: the precise rate at which the universe is expanding at the current time, as well as measuring the amount of dark energy in the universe from another angle.” Freedman led the ground-breaking Hubble Space Telescope study that earlier had measured the Hubble constant.

    Glenn Wahlgren, Spitzer program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said infrared vision, which sees through dust to provide better views of variable stars called cepheids, enabled Spitzer to improve on past measurements of the Hubble constant. “These pulsating stars are vital rungs in what astronomers call the cosmic distance ladder: a set of objects with known distances that, when combined with the speeds at which the objects are moving away from us, reveal the expansion rate of the universe,” said Wahlgren.

    Cepheids are crucial to the calculations because their distances from Earth can be measured readily. In 1908, Henrietta Leavitt discovered these stars pulse at a rate directly related to their intrinsic brightness. ”

  • Black Hole Kicked Out of Galaxy Video

    A Black is being kicked out of galaxy.

     

    Black Hole kicked out of Galaxy
    A Black Hole is being kicked out of Galaxy.

    We have been told that Black Holes are so powerful that they do not let the light rays to escape and have massive Gravitational pull, making or making Stars.

    Now a Black Hole is being kicked out.

    The explanation offered by the Scientists is more confusing.

    Leibniz is Right ‘ I know not what’

    “- Astronomers have found strong evidence that a massive black hole is being ejected from its host galaxy at a speed of several million miles per hour. New observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that the black hole collided and merged with another black hole and received a powerful recoil kick from gravitational wave radiation.

    “It’s hard to believe that a supermassive black hole weighing millions of times the mass of the sun could be moved at all, let alone kicked out of a galaxy at enormous speed,” said Francesca Civano of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), who led the new study. “But these new data support the idea that gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of space first predicted by Albert Einstein but never detected directly — can exert an extremely powerful force.”

    Although the ejection of a supermassive black hole from a galaxy by recoil because more gravitational waves are being emitted in one direction than another is likely to be rare, it nevertheless could mean that there are many giant black holes roaming undetected out in the vast spaces between galaxies.

    “These black holes would be invisible to us,” said co-author Laura Blecha, also of CfA, “because they have consumed all of the gas surrounding them after being thrown out of their home galaxy.”

    Civano and her group have been studying a system known as CID-42, located in the middle of a galaxy about 4 billion light years away. They had previously spotted two distinct, compact sources of optical light in CID-42, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

    More optical data from the ground-based Magellan and Very Large Telescopes in Chile supplied a spectrum (that is, the distribution of optical light with energy) that suggested the two sources in CID-42 are moving apart at a speed of at least 3 million miles per hour.

    Previous Chandra observations detected a bright X-ray source likely caused by super-heated material around one or more supermassive black holes. However, they could not distinguish whether the X-rays came from one or both of the optical sources because Chandra was not pointed directly at CID-42, giving an X-ray source that was less sharp than usual.

    “The previous data told us that there was something special going on, but we couldn’t tell if there were two black holes or just one,” said another co-author Martin Elvis, also of CfA. “We needed new X-ray data to separate the sources.”

    When Chandra’s sharp High Resolution Camera was pointed directly at CID-42, the resulting data showed that X-rays were coming only from one of the sources. The team thinks that when two galaxies collided, the supermassive black holes in the center of each galaxy also collided. The two black holes then merged to form a single black hole that recoiled from gravitational waves produced by the collision, which gave the newly merged black hole a sufficiently large kick for it to eventually escape from the galaxy.

    The other optical source is thought to be the bright star cluster that was left behind. This picture is consistent with recent computer simulations of merging black holes, which show that merged black holes can receive powerful kicks from the emission of gravitational waves.

    There are two other possible explanations for what is happening in CID-42. One would involve an encounter between three supermassive black holes, resulting in the lightest one being ejected. Another idea is that CID-42 contains two supermassive black holes spiraling toward one another, rather than one moving quickly away.
