• At present, the full video (540 Mbytes) is too slow (dragging, deep voices, slow video), and is too cumbersome to go from one time to another. So until I convert to a different video [codec, contailer] formats (perhaps H.264 codec & .MKV container?) or find a video viewer that is better suited to large files, the videos for each scene are posted instead (see the listing below), giving better throughput and easy of going from one scene to another by separate loading. Microsoft Windows (and hopefully MacIntosh?) users can view this by downloading the VLC media viewer. "... VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files, and various streaming protocols. ..." At present, this full video cannot be moved forward and back within the video, something I will fix when I get the time, as the ability to go back over material and skip sections is particularly important with this video. In the meantime, the separate "Scenes" listed below can be used by moving back and forward.
  • The QNial programming language was used to [direct, sequence, conduct, whatever] the video production, together with a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that acts as a great front-end for preparing code specific to the video sequencing. These can be found in the Programming code directory listing, and will be handy for anyone interested in the details of how I produced the video. I like to describe the QNial programming language of Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada as "... the beautiful child of a marriage between LISP and APL ...". It is not commonly used today, and even though it is an interpreted language, I always get frustrated with other languages that I also use, it's conceptual power always brings me back home to it. Bug hunting can be problematic if you don't build in bug taps and [structured, object oriented] capabiities, but for much of what I do I keep those chains to a minimum so I can use the full power of the language. Ben Davidson of Suspicious Observers posted 3 brilliant videos on nearby stellar flaring, as further support for a potential "micro-flare" or other solar disruption to explain the 12,000 year [mythological observations, paleontology, geology, planetary] quasi-periodicity of disruptive events on Earth, which by appearances may be "imminent". I like Ben's <=50 to >=200 year uncertainty - and even though that is still a bit of guess, he is meticulous in pointing out the uncertainties.

  • 27Dec2019 Nearby Superflares | What Do They Mean If we take an "Electric Universe" perspective, in particular Wal Thornhill's Birkeland current concepts for large-scale astronomy, and Don Scott's very interesting "solar transistor" model together with his 2015 Birkeland current model (also 2018 elaboration), then perhaps shifts in the galactic currents could be expected to "reincarnate-light up" or "dim-extinguish" stars to various degrees as the currents shift and move. Many stars (I can't remember all of them - perhaps brown dwarfs, giant planets close to being stars, etc) are not visible by light emission, but perhaps they are easily re-activated when current change. Perhaps in exteme case this might lead to "swapping the central star role" between a large planets and its star in the local z-pinch? In other words, the "lit-up regions" motions may relate more to drifts of galactic currents than to the motions of the stars themselves? In that manner, the "galactic spirals" could move independently of the stars.


    Note that Donald Scott's own analysis of "stellar velocity profiles" provides yet another explanation of what is observed. So my speculations here are just one of many that have been proposed.

    ALL videos are provided in ogv file format, which is of higher quality and easier and more natural to me in a Linux environment. Microsoft Windows (and hopefully MacIntosh?) users can view this by downloading the VLC media viewer. "...

But can stellar [apparent birth, brighten, dim, apparent death] also provide further potential evidence? Naturally we view stars' life-paths as "unidirectional", but is this a full picture, or can all these processes recur, as is the case fortheir [sunspots, micro-to-super novas, etc]? What has long fascinated me is the statement that the spirals of the galaxies move more rapidly than the stars in the galaxy, and how that might relate to the [Newtonian, General Relativity] problem at large scales.
