The Edge Of Lake Tenaya

A  text only post, and about history, afield from fauna and flora, sort of...and grim, so dear readers, a caution to read on...

Awhile ago there was an explosion on a beach that sent beach goers flying into the air...it was a mystery, but after some study, it was determined what caused it....

quote

The cause of the previously mysterious beach explosion — which sent a woman flying 10 feet out of her beach chair — has been determined.
The freakish incident happened on June 11 at Salty Brine Beach in Rhode Island. Contrary to previous speculation that it was a methane explosion caused by decaying seaweed, scientists from The University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography have determined that it was caused by an abandoned copper cable previously used by the United States Coast Guard. The corrosion of the copper cable caused a build-up of hydrogen gas to combust...

And it was only a short while after reading this, that I read about a mysterious explosion on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem a long time ago...

quote

Julian thought to rebuild at an extravagant expense the proud Temple once at Jerusalem, and committed this task to Alypius of Antioch. Alypius set vigorously to work, and was seconded by the governor of the province; when fearful balls of fire, breaking out near the foundations, continued their attacks, till the workmen, after repeated scorchings, could approach no more: and he gave up the attempt.

My thought here is that metals like copper went into the ground after the destruction of the Temple by the Tenth Legion, creating hydrogen gas pockets underground, and this three hundred year later attempt after the Second Temple to rebuild the Temple set the ground ablaze and the workmen flying!

'that's a reach, daviddavid...'

Yes, I know it's a reach, but that's what scientists do, and maybe priests too, insomuch as the explosion were attributed by them to God's wrath...there was an earthquake too at the time...and the Roman Emperor Justin who ordered the re-building, not well liked by Jews or Christians...

Trying to make scientific sense of Bible events and such is common...

In an article written by Doug Yurchey entitled 'High-Technology In The Bible ' Yurchey states:

'In Exodus, Moses was given instructions on building the Ark of the Covenant. The inventive genius, Nikola Tesla, wrote in 'The Wall of Light' that Moses had to have been a skilled electrical engineer. The Ark, Tesla concluded, was a very powerful 'condenser.' It created intense vibrations that could smash solid stone. The Israelites carted the device into battle and won wars with it; not unlike the vibration weapons used in the film 'Dune.'
 
Ark of the Covenant
 
I read the Dune story when it came out in Analog magazine in its big format...I had a subscription, and it came to mind seeing the Star in a Jar clips, but that's an aside...lemmesee if I can find Tesla's comment...
 
oh...found this:

""At this time I made a further careful study of the Bible, and discovered the key in Revelation. ....Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment and merging of races, and we are still far from this blissful realization, because few indeed, will admit the reality that God made man in His image in which case all earth men are alike. There is in fact but one race, of many colours. Christ is but one person, yet he is of all people, so why do some people think themselves better than some other people?" Nikola Tesla in his Autobiography"

…Moses was undoubtedly a practical and skillful electrician far in advance of his time. The Bible describes precisely and minutely arrangements constituting a machine in which electricity was generated by friction of air against silk curtains and stored in a box constructed like a condenser. It is very plausible to assume that the sons of Aaron were killed by a high tension discharge…

The ancients thought there was an aether, an element of some sort that surrounds everything, and this was accepted science until Einstein worked out things in such away that the explanations of physics didn't need an aether...he himself didn't deny there might be one, but just said his explanations didn't need it, and so since his time, outer space is thought to be empty...the radiations, like light, all matter, like the planets and suns, travel and float through nothing...

quote

According to ancient and medieval science, aether (Greek: αἰθήρ aithēr[1]), also spelled æther or ether, also called quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.[citation needed] The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated all throughout space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment.[2]

The Big Bang theory is about the origin of the universe...scientist have been able to calculate the movement of stars and galaxies, and from that determined they all came from a central point, and exploded outward in the very distant past, like fourteen billion years ago...to picture this imagine a slow motion film of exploding debris run backwards...I try, and find the whole notion unacceptable...so I was thinking up my own in that comment I left questioning if there might not be an aether, and I keep tweaking it, my own notion, and it's like this now...

Imagine a supersaturated aether that gets perturbed and the stars and planets, all matter, cascade out of it...and now the stars and planets, all matter, reside in the aether...

These terms, supersaturated, cascade, come from watching the physics class demonstration...and too from reading Mark Twain's, Off On A Comet (Jules Verne's rather!), which has a similar scene in a John Muir story...Muir hiked up to Lake Tenaya in the winter, December I think, the time he fell on the way and knocked himself out, and when he came to the Lake he found it free of ice, but it was very still, and very cold, and when he tossed a stone out into it, radiating out from the stone's entry, the surface of the Lake froze over...maybe I'm making that up, but a scene like that is in Off On A Comet, and it's here too in a youtube...

So, so, with this notion in mind last night I did search: big bang supersaturated

The start of the Universe should be modeled not as a Big Bang but more like water freezing into ice, according to a team of theoretical physicists at the University of Melbourne and RMIT University

Yes, I embellished Muir's account!

quote

I found the lake frozen, and the ice was so clear and unruffled that the surrounding mountains and the groves that look down upon it were reflected almost as perfectly as I ever beheld them in the calm evening mirrors of summer. At a little distance, it was difficult to believe the lake frozen at all; and when I walked out on it, cautiously stamping at short intervals to test the strength of the ice, I seemed to walk mysteriously, without adequate faith, on the surface of the water. The ice was so transparent that I could see through it the beautifully wave-rippled, sandy bottom, and the scales of mica glinting back the down-pouring light. When I knelt down with my face close to the ice, through which the sunbeams were pouring, I was delighted to discover myriads of Tyndall's six-rayed water flowers, magnificently colored.

well, this post has grown too long for today...wanted next to step to Ben Franklin and his electrical experiments...all this on the way to Dirac's Sea!...for tomorrowmorrow!
