  1. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    I can appreciate whatever masonry skills ancient people developed. However, having been involved with extensive stone masonry work myself, (300 tons over a 10 year period), all the mystical rants about copper drill bits, liquid that softens stone and whatever nonsense some believe, it comes down to hard work, no matter what period in history one is talking about.
  2. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    Copper drill bits? No way would copper hold up!! Copper is very malleable, and is easily shaped with heat and force. You read it and therefor it is absolutely true?
  3. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    Grinder marks. I keep trying to find where the grinders were plugged in, but so far no luck.
  4. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    Belt sander?
  5. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    I would venture to guess that with primitive tools there would be waste, but mostly in the form of chips and dust depending on the type of stone used. There are claims of grinders being used in the GP construction. Allegedly there are grinder marks or it could be trowel marks.
  6. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    Where are the data for 50% waste? In my company we have built a lot of flagstone courtyards, stone walls and other masonry projects. Perhaps 10% waste at the most. Hammers and carbide tipped chisels.

    Granite is amenable to fracturing, cutting and smoothing. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0012821X91902349

    Handles? Granite has little nubs or protrusions that are a result of volcanism, weathering, pressure and mostly composed of Si02. Isn't it time to understand myth for what it is?

    Did you look at the images of granite I posted? Ever seen a natural outcropping of granite? The High Sierras are a classic example. Climbers love climbing on granite since it has a texture that makes climbing possible.
  10. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    Images of granite in various textures. Granite in its natural state can be smooth or textured depending on any number of variables. Polymers don’t defy fundamental forces as a few true believers believe. https://www.google.com/search?q=raw+granite&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

    If there are trowel marks as some believe, then why is the rock surface rough and textured?
  12. The 1100 ton Unfinished Obelisk

    How do you know there are trowel marks? From my reading the stone is granite a type of igneous rock. There is also limestone (sedimentary rock) in that area that was used for the walls. Stone of this type is subject to weathering and not liquefying the stone. Liquefying a vertical surface without a form denies gravity. All this speculation of aliens and bottles of liquid that soften rock is nothing more than an active imagination and fails to give credit to ancient stone masons that labored for decades to build these fascinating structures.
  13. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Derailing the thread to all sorts of ridiculous notions such as anti-gravity etc. that have no basis in science. The thread started off discussing weather extremes in Antarctica and if you can discuss climatic changes in the biosphere that would be useful. Your comments regarding Brownian motion were way off. Look it up and see what I am referring to.
  14. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Does Dr. Pais have any working models for his patents? I quickly read a few things and the answer is no! BTW, you are trolling!
  15. Heatwave in Antarctica

    I read Tom Bearden's books years ago along with all the books on so called free energy devices, scalar/psychotronic weapons etc. None of these devices work at all and most are frauds perpetrated by con men! Nothing but wet dreams! Even if over unity devices are theoretically feasible there is no way to implement such devices. A few years ago I was invited to implement a training program for a new type of technology that would revolutionize communications with gravitational waves based on Eulers theory of continued fractions. I signed a NDA, for the receipt of documents, promised seven figures, perks and so forth. Needless to say the project was fraught with problems that I suspected would eventually come to light. It is important to think critically, ask very specific questions, which can save time and disappointment, which I did. Luckily I know a few world class scientists that I can discuss ideas with. Los Alamos Labs are 35 miles from my house. Let's get back on topic! BTW, bioscalar waves do exist.
  16. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Are you relating this to Anthropogenic Global Warming?
  17. Heatwave in Antarctica

    I will put it on my calendar so I don't forget. I'm certain you will still be around.
  18. Heatwave in Antarctica

    I am well versed in the science of AGW plus there has already been much written on TDB.
  19. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Sun variations are not the cause! That argument has been absolutely refuted. Extreme cold can be easily explained by the disappearance of ancient Arctic sea ice. Why? Year round ice reflected light/heat. With very little ice at this time the dark water absorbs heat. Atmospheric physics explains the rest.
  20. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Are you denying that Anthropogenic Global Warming exists? The model predicts extremes from heat to cooling to put is simply! In the case of AGW it is caused by human activity whereas the above discusses changes caused by natural processes.
  21. Heatwave in Antarctica

    Fits the criteria for the Anthropogenic Global Warming model. AGW. Same in the Arctic a few days ago.
  22. When I stated regarding light I refer to Keith Dowman's book as well as Albert Einstein and Dr. David Bohm, among others. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09RW88D51/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i1
  23. In general science has far too long posited a materialist world view which has stifled certain aspects of the human experience.
  24. The topic at hand has everything to do with psychedelics as an aid to cultivation which has everything to do with religion/spiritually. You have dissed researchers that advocate psilocybin, peyote, dmt, LSD, etc. when the topic is specific regarding the use of entheogens as a key that unlocks energetic gateways or other dimensions. NDE, out of the body experiences, dream travel are not some function of chemical emotional reactions, but the quest to experience beyond our minuscule existence. Some may be triggered by emotions, others by the intellect, and others by being with an enlightened teacher where just a glance is enough to awaken the vastness of timeless space that is a permanent change in one's life experience. Emotion is nothing more than a reaction to awakening and not primary in the least. Are you experienced in entheogens as cultivation gateways? If not then the experience that human existence is made of light frequencies alludes you. As a personal example there are many experiences that are profound and go beyond simple human emotion. When I was out in Las Vegas a few years ago, I bought an extract called OG Ghost Train Haze, 900 mg of THC with important terpenes that were left in the extract. To make a long story short I took far too much and the 8 hour experience was one of the crown chakra opening whereby I experienced the vast dimension of timeless space. Was it an emotional machine response? Hell no! It was beyond my minuscule existence as a human. Electro magnetic? Frequencies higher than? What about full blown non dual light as an experience? Physical transparency from very specific visual practices? Entheogens can assist in unlocking gateways. Even kundalini yoga has inherent risks. Life experience is a risk. Stay on topic, please. BTW, my experience with Peyote was all the way through that gateway, which left me with a deep understanding as to why American tribal cultures have utilized it for thousands of years.
